I am 100%, without a shadow of a doubt, a Type A personality. Have you gathered that so far? No, I didn’t think so. I know, I just ooze personality from every crack and crevice of my body… and as I get older I have a lot more cracks and crevices, lol… it would be hard to tell with my killer personality and witty charm that exudes from me, lol.

Anyway, now that we go that nonsense out-of-the-way… I am OCD about planning. Like I am preparing to go on vacation and I have been planning for the future of this week so much today, I had to look up what day it was. I literally could not believe it was still Monday. What kind of crazy person am I?!? I am the crazy person that has so much going on this month that I literally feel like October is over already! That is taking planning to a whole new (read CRAZY) level!

Does anyone else obsessively make list and over plan everything?!? Nope, just me? Ok keep it moving, keep it moving. I seriously can drive myself crazy with all of the things I need to do and plan to do when I get home every day. But this meme sums up my life right now…

I plan… but then get nothing done lately. This is so out of character for me. I am in need of breaking this terrible habit! So essentially what I am saying is that I have these crazy lists (both written and in my head) and I am not accomplishing a damn thing, which only makes my crazy lists longer… AND IT IS DRIVING ME MAD!!!

But let’s take recently out of the equation and just talk about being a Type A personality. You know the kind where you cringe when someone steps in and screws up your perfectly planned plan… when they want to move your perfectly planned seating arrangement at your event. It drives you mad… I mean I seriously get mad because have you not seen my list?!? It’s all planned out… lol! I know I am crazy I do not need your judgement! Haha!

My other crazy thing that I do is over think everything. I play out all scenarios in my head, thinking about every last detail that may potentially happen, ask my friends their opinions, weigh the pros & cons… and still I don’t know. It will drive a person batty though, I assure you that! It also drives my friends crazy because they think I don’t value their opinion, or I didn’t take their advice or whatever… I get it! But I am crazy, just not diagnosed, lol.

Anyway, I am in vacation prep mode, so I am trying to get prepared at work, home, the barn, the dogs, and everything in between. We are going to be gone a week so I have to make sure that I restock the dog food and puppy treats before we leave or my dogs will be on strike when I return! I have to make sure that the horses have plenty of feed/hay before we leave and everyone has had everything they are scheduled for (including Sammy’s Cunt-B-Gone as Jody calls it lol… good thing he isn’t running for president, lol.). We make sure all dairy or food in general that will go bad while we are gone is either thrown out or given away. The house needs to be clean and have fresh sheets on the bed so it is ready when we return. I don’t know why we bother to clean the house because the dogs (mainly Laci now) insists on dragging out every single toy that they have. I stopped counting at 37 toys last night. Seriously?!? Not any of the 36 before were adequate? So with the exception of dog toys and all of the dirt and debris the traipse in the house while we are gone… it may be clean, sort of. Of course at work it is the normal day-to-day, but also adding in that all of the filing is done, every single bill I can possibly key has been accounted for and trying to predict anything that anyone may need so it can be here or on it’s way here and nothing is forgotten. It’s exhausting. Why am I leaving again?!? Oh, right… vacationing is fun lol.

I also forgot to mention in all of the gibberish about that I love Holidays!! So I have already started planning Thanksgiving (for home and work) and Christmas (for home and work) and even black Friday because I love to shop and that is a holiday in it’s on right in my book! So remember when I said I feel like October is over… well all of this planning and prepping has me on over drive between vacation, our annual open house at work, all the upcoming Birthdays and Holidays, Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Christmas.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH…. I just got it. This is why I look like the above meme. I am on overload and exhausted so that is why I become one with the blanket when I get home, lol. Are you as exhausted reading this as I am laying it all out on paper?!? I feel like you should be!

I will try to do another blog post or two before we leave… then on to the vacation posts!

Stay Fabulous!!
