After accidentally missing last Saturdays 8 a.m. hair appointment, I am incredibly excited and hopeful that I can make tomorrows 9 a.m. one. I refuse to take full responsibility for last weeks miss though. It was my foster dogs fault, Tilly. I have come to rely on her for my wake up call which will put me in an incredibly shitty situation in...
After three years of working I am no longer a marketing assistant. As of Monday I am now a marketing specialist. What does this mean? Nothing really, I am doing the same job I was before but with a better title and at a slightly higher pay. What is even worse is I have yet to celebrate and don't know when I will...
Traveling, I love it and I hate it these days. Now maybe it might be a little better to categorize my travels, after all, I am sure some would agree that traveling for work is a bit different than traveling for pleasure. Let me break down the pros and cons of both. Pros of work travel I don't spend my own money I...
I ran to work this morning. Yes, you read that right. I got up at around 5:30 a.m. feeling anxious thinking am I really going to do this? But I did it! I strapped my backpack on and took off into the morning darkness thinking ugh, while my I pod was blaring Sweet Nothing by Florence Welch. You would think it would be easier to jam out...
I think I may have slightly overdone it with the amount of activities I have signed up for. Sunday I had two indoor soccer games we won one and lost one. Monday I started ultimate frisbee and we had no female subs so I played for two hours then I had to go play an outdoor soccer game. Get this after the game...
I have spent my first Saturday at home doing absolutely nothing. While I would think this would have been a brilliant plan to just relax and recuperate I was met with a feeling of pure exhaustion and a headache. I am only home for two more weeks till I am out of town for a week. I really need to start making the best of...
Today: information overload but in a good way. It has reminded me to reevaluate and reassess my 2013 goals and shift my daily activities accordingly. While I slowly make progress, I tend to let things distract me which isn't beneficial. A little motivation and swift kick in the ass is what I need and I feel like I am getting plenty of that...
If anything SXSW has taught me, so far, to create. What do I do in my life that challenges me to create my tomorrow? Here it seems everyone is challenging and creating a world for their future something with which they are extremely passionate about. As Danny Harris from Story Social put it "what would you fight for?" I will be pondering this...
As I have stated recently in my blog posts life isn't always wonderful and bad things happen and when they do my heart breaks as it is now for one of our close family friends. It isn't always easy to be happy and positive but somehow with the right approach things can become less terrible and almost bare-able. Happiness is something I have...
In finding my old cooler self I might have gotten a little off track with this whole blogger thing I was going for this year. Oops. However, I have been trying to add more instagrams and tweets. Geez you would think this whole social media thing would get easier but they just keep adding more and more new ways to interact with everyone....
