Last Night of Pampered Bliss!!

Last Night of Pampered Bliss!!

Class is all done!!! My brain is perfectly fried! and I am supremely ready to go home!! Well, ok, let’s not jump the gun quite yet – I do get to hang out in this awesome hotel room for one more night!!! I came in 

A Quick Good Morning!!

A Quick Good Morning!!

Good morning!! I am running a little behind this morning, so I am going to have to keep this short so I am not late, or worse, miss my bus – EEK!!! That would NOT be good!!! 😉 Went to bed a little early last 

My Official Evening Plans!!

My Official Evening Plans!!

I have just gotten back from class! Today went sooo much nicer than yesterday!!! when I got back to the hotel last night, I was seriously worried that I was waaaaay in over my head!!! Today, it is still a little tricky, but the resource materials that they are sending me home with tell me step-by-step how to do this ETL process – so, to say the least, I have hope!!! 😉 YEAH!!!

OK, so I am spending a well-deserved quiet evening in my hotel room tonight, wait – does that make me old???? OK, I don’t care – I am TOTALLY over it!! I just ordered my dinner from room service; chicken fettuccine with a spinach salad and a sour dough dinner roll! YUM!!! I can’t wait!I had the BIGGEST GREEN LEAFY SALAD for lunch today, but NOW I AM SOOO HUNGRY!!! MOMMA NEEDS ME SOME GOOD FOOD!!!! Ok, I will be patient!!! 😉

I am also going to have to spend some quality time enjoying the BODACIOUS whirlpool in my room (yes, I know I am such a dork – I just said bodacious)!!! Did I already mention that I was spoiled????? Ok, maybe just a little!!!

On another note, I am in the middle of this really, REALLY good book that I may have to spend some time really just focusing on!!! It is a teens” chapter book called “The Red Pyramid”, it is written by Rick Riordan – he is the same author who wrote all of the Percy Jackson Series! I would highly recommend all of these books if you just want a light, Summer kind-a read!!!

Anyway, I hear the knock on the door, which means dinner is served!!! No, one really should be so excited about food!!!

QUICK UPDATE: dinner was yummy, and they even served it with a pretty fuchsia flower!! Excellence is all in the details!!! Off to go take a dip in my pool – uhm…I mean whirlpool!!! 😉

Have a FABULOUS evening!!

Heading Out for Another Day of Class!

Heading Out for Another Day of Class!

I am up, dressed, primped, and totally ready to go to class this morning, with 40 minutes to go until the party bus gets here!! 🙂 Why can’t I do this at home during my real life???? LOL!!! Probably because I can’t throw on my 

Where’s My Vivacious Bitches??

Where’s My Vivacious Bitches??

Today is slowly coming to a close. It has been a pretty good day, but I am just soooo tired. I think a combination of jet lag, and a long day of sitting in a brain gorging technical class has just really wiped me out! 

Quick Post Before Heading Off to Class!!

Quick Post Before Heading Off to Class!!

Good morning!!! Have I told you that it is the butt-crack of dawn right now (I wonder where that awful saying came from?)?? I got up at the equivalent of 4 am, and I am doing pretty darn well, if I may say so myself!!! 😉 Besides the puffy eyes, I think I am looking pretty cute on the way out the door this morning!!! I did my eye make up in a totally new way this morning, and I am loving it! I definetely need to have a vanity, they have just a mirror attached to a wall with a comfy bench in front of it, and I really felt like royalty!!! I should create that same set up at my place!! I will have to get on that!

Anyway, I am heading out! The school bus, yes I said school bus, will be here soon, and I want to make sure that I don’t miss it!!!

Have a FABULOUS morning!!! 😉

I thought this would be a fun clip to share that I found on YouTube. This is a gentle Yoga exercise to practice in bed, while getting ready for sleep. Have a FABULOUS sleep!! 😉

Today’s Life Lesson

Today’s Life Lesson

Today has been a long, busy day! Thankfully tonight I have spent a lot of time on the phone, trying to touch base with my family members! I have so many family members that I am going to have spend Friday afternoon on the phone too!!! LOL!! My family is such a huge part of who I am. I really count on them for balance and for helping me see the big picture! A couple of days ago I said,

“Don’t get so busy doing what you are doing that you forget why you are doing it.”

Well, my family is the number 1 reason I do ANYTHING!! I come from a large family, and I hope to have a big family of my own some day, but for now I just really want to make them proud of me, and help make their lives better, even if it is just in some small way!!

I love you, you crazy, zany, wacky family of mine – I would NOT BE WHO I AM WITHOUT YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT!!!!!!

As for business, today is Day 8 of my 30 Day Life Makeover!! The lesson that I really needed to hear today, and one that I have been trying to live by all week, is that it is NOT a sign of weakness to ask for help!! BIG CHANGES are going on in my place of work, and a lot of the stuff coming our way, is EXTREMELY NEW to us!!! SO, WHEW!!! I just had to tell myself, I am COMPLETELY SURROUNDED by people who know what they are doing – USE THEIR EXPERTISE!!!! That is what they are there for, and our team has always gone out of our way to help everyone else, what could it hurt to ask??? Help?? Well, sure enough! People are coming out of the woodwork to help us out, and I FINALLY think that somehow we are going to make it through all of the craziness!!! YEAH!!!

That is what I want you to do today; if there is something in your life that you have been too scared to ask for help, REACH OUT and ask for help!! Trust me, this one can be scary, but when your co-workers, friends, and/or family reach out to answer your call – YOU WILL BE SO GLAD YOU DID!!!

Have a FABULOUS evening!!! 😉
