Five Miles To Empty

I’m exhausted! Almost to the point I can’t keep my eyes open long enough to write this post. But I’ve REALLY been trying to turn to my blog more often to regurgitate my thoughts. In 54 days I will  finally be taking a much needed vacation. In over a year I haven’t taken one day [...]

What A Week !

First let me say…… I’m glad it’s over! The week initially got kicked off when my co-worker-friend announced that she was being promoted and leaving in TWO WEEKS! Not only because I just recently started considering her a friend and was actually sharing my lunch hour with her that I’m a little sad she’s leaving [...]

I Don’t Deserve Macaroni & Cheese

  For the last couple of years I’ve pretty much stuck to a diet of meat or fish and a vegetable unless I was dining out or somewhere else other than home but lately and I don’t know why  I’ve been downing mad carbs. Rice which is something I rarely eat, potatoes and one of [...]

Three day weekend? Well that’s Horrible.

Let’s just assume you guys were caught up and aware of a deadline that was October 31st and  wasn’t met.  It’s  now almost two weeks into November and the pressure is on. How do I know? Well our CFO took a seat and spoke to me directly about the importance of this work that is [...]

Lists

I asked twitter to remind me that I need a new shower liner but I’m sure they won’t and I’ll forget. At one point my ipod came in handy with my lists. List of jobs applied for, rental properties, events, things to do but ever since God created Pandora I have neglected my ipod greatly. [...]

Show Me The Money

Today was the first day in my working history that I’ve ever attempted to negotiate my pay. My plan was to do research on how to properly negotiate pay with an employer but that got delayed due to my weekend in Vegas. Although training started on Friday,  today I was officially in a new department [...]

Proof of Progress

The long battle of weight loss seems to be never ending. Despite the fact I sometime get totally disgusted I haven’t given up yet. I’ve had a gym membership since about March but I wasn’t working out consistently until around May so that makes about 3 months I’ve been dedicated to working out 3- 4 [...]

If The Shoe Hurts, Wear It?

Talk about a culture shock; cute southern girl making her way through the big city. And how sad it’s almost taken me two years to “get it”. I can blame most of this on my first California city where it didn’t matter what I wore and who would pay attention? We are talking a LARGE [...]

Meeting Mojo

Every Thursday my department holds a staff meeting. This is when you’ll find me looking my best. Even when compared to Mondays on this day you’ll more likely see me with a blazer on if I had to choose any day of the week. Can you imagine getting mentally prepared for a meeting when we hit [...]

The Conservative Fashionista. The Approach.

Some may beg to differ that I may not be as conservative as even I’d like to believe but when it comes to the way I dress my body I prefer to look like I just stepped out of a Banana Republic catalog. From the blazers to the pumps I prefer a clean crisp and [...]
