Getting Back to the Basics!

Getting Back to the Basics!

Good evening!! This seems like it has been a really crazy busy day!!! I have just gotten home from a REALLY REALLY LOOOONG day of work, a quick run to pick up a couple of my FAVORITE BOOKS OF ALL TIME, Pride and Prejudice, and 

A Late Posting!

A Late Posting!

Good afternoon! I know this is sooo untypically me, getting to my blog so late in the day!! I really do try and get at least SOMETHING written before I head out the door in the morning. Unfortunately this morning, I just couldn’t seem to 

In the Home Stretch!

In the Home Stretch!

Good morning!!

I have to give a shout out, and a THANK YOU to my sweetie and my niece, Megan, who made pretzel sticks and other goodies yesterday!!! These are some of my favorite sweet-treats, and it is so cool to know that they are so quick and easy (AND FUN) to make!! πŸ˜‰ I get to take some for work today, and I know my co-workers will enjoy them!!!

Talking about work, you may have noticed that I am posting earlier than I normally do this morning. That is because I am in the home stretch of this CRAZY work schedule I have been keeping!!! My co-worker and I are working split-shifts for the next two weeks, and I get the earlier stretch, so I will be leaving the house by 6:30 every morning to make sure I get to work on time!!! THANKFULLY, this will eventually mean that I will be able to get home earlier, but that will probably start next week!!! Which is a very good thing because I am now tossing and turning all night thinking and dreaming about work!!! I am sure that is only because me and my co-workers ended up working ALL WEEKEND!!! WHEW!!! It’s ok, we are almost done!! πŸ˜‰

Well, I hate to post and run, but I will post again this evening!!! My self-crafted journal is done, and I will post pics of it this evening!! πŸ™‚ I am off to go finish getting ready for work!! WISH ME LUCK!!! πŸ˜‰

Have a FABULOUS day!!! πŸ˜‰

Whistle While I Work!

Whistle While I Work!

Good morning! This weekend is kind of an odd weekend for us, you see I have to work! Mind you, I can telecommute, but still!! I have to clock in at least my self-appointed 8 hours for today!!! (and then I get to do it 

That’s More Like It!

That’s More Like It!

Got home from work not too long ago, and I am happy to report that, TODAY WAS SOOO MUCH BETTER THAN YESTERDAY!!! WHOO!!! HOO!!!!! Less stress! Less yelling! Less anxiety! Less headache! More work done! More smiling! More laughing!! That makes me a very HAPPY 

A Snuggly Morning!!

A Snuggly Morning!!

Good morning!!!

I realize that it is only 7:20 in the morning, so it might seem early to be sayingΒ  this, but I must confess that I have already hadΒ  good day so far!!! I woke up with my alarm at 6, and decided that I wasn’t going to be in a rush today! I rolled over and asked my sweetie if he would be willing to wake up early too so that we could snuggle!! With me working so much right now, there hasn’t been too much quality time going on right now – just me coming home, crashing and burning!!! God bless him for being so patient and supportive right now!! πŸ˜‰ Anyway, after talking, giggling, and playing with our puppies in bed, it was mutually decided that we had better get a move on if I didn’t want to be late for work!!!

So, here I am dressed and ready to head out for the day! I feel a good day coming for the entire day! Yesterday, I was able to get a REALLY LARGE task completed, which made me feel like I was ALMOST skipping down the 2 flights of stairs to head home last evening!!! WHOO-HOO!!!

Today, my sis, Alex, is going to meet me for lunch today, WHICH I JUST LOVE!!! and then later this evening her and her kiddos will come over again for dinner, and then afterwords we will do some more vision boarding!! As promised, I will then take pics of my vision board and post them here so you can see them! If she is cool with it, I will post her vision board too!!

SIDE NOTE: I don’t know if any of you know this, but my sweetie always makes me breakfast in the morning and brings it up to me while I am blogging in the morning, so I can get breakfast and my blogging done – DOES THAT MAKE ME SPOILED????? Ok, yeah – it does!! Anyway, this morning he brought up THE MOST delectable of breakfasts – scrambled egg whites, and a small le tartain!!! a le tartain is a section of fresh baguette sliced down the middle, to make two halves, (Parisian baguette, not American), spread with butter and jelly – it is HEAVENLY!!!!

Anyway, I am going to go and finish getting ready for work – I may actually be early to work today – WHAT A NOVEL CONCEPT!!! πŸ˜‰

Have a FABULOUS day!! πŸ˜‰

A LOOONG Monday!!!

A LOOONG Monday!!!

Good evening! It has been a really, REALLY LOOOONG Monday!! WHEW!!! I got to work super early this morning, since I had an early AM meeting, had to leave at 1:45 pm because I had a not-so-pleasant dentist appointment, and as soon as I got

Sunday Evening News!

Sunday Evening News!

I got a call from my dad tonight! He was worried about me and wanted to make sure that I was doing well!! Well, I am so glad he called, because I feel soooo much better after talking to him!!! He has a way of putting everything into perspective!! My dad has become a very VERY important part of my life, and I am not sure what I would ever do without him!!! Thank you, Daddy!! I thank God for you!!! πŸ˜‰

I have a busy week ahead, but I am optimistic that it will be a productive week!! I have my i-pod ready to rock out to during my work days, I have our dinner menus planned, my life simplifying tasks written out, and I am going into tomorrow with the idea that it will be a fresh new day, and all of life’s BEST are possible!!!

With that said, I am going to go upstairs and read a little bit before bed!!

I love you, Daddy!!! πŸ˜‰

Have a FABULOUS evening! πŸ˜‰
