Hello Sunshine

I know all 4 of my readers have been missing me this past week. Let's just say that it was one of THOSE weeks. You know, the kind where you go to work early, stay late and still have work to do when you get home? And while you are at work people are asking you to go in 20 different directions? Yea, that's the kind. (Good thing I had already scheduled some posts to be published :))



It did make me realize something, I need to add stress management to my goals for this month! Because I was so busy with work, I wasn't as good at the whole working on staying in touch thing as I would have liked to be. This goal may take precedent over that this month. Last week, I could literally feel the stress building up in me to the point where it was even effecting my body and I was sick in the middle of the week. That can't be good...I know I need to let things roll off a bit, so I am going to work on chilling out and not worrying so much. Then when I do get stressed, doing something productive rather than some of my rather unhealthy choices which will remain unmentioned (even thought I have yet to touch a sweet or bread product in 2.5 weeks).



So for a little update:

Last week I officially started my new role at work. I have a new seat in our office where the creative team is. And I have a wonderful view of the street which will warrant many interesting blog posts to come. For example, today the strip club across the street was a little late opening, so the strippers were waiting outside until someone unlocked the door- this was before lunch. And this afternoon some man sat right in front of our door - where the window reveals my feet - and was complaining that he couldn't go into the bar next door. I have been warned about what I will see now, and this was just my preview.



I painted my bathroom this weekend! It is a beautiful yellow. (Pictures to come soon I promise.) I think I need to take a break from decorating for a while, especially since I will be doing some outlet shopping soon!



I also have everything ordered for big bros wedding! Got my dress and shoes. I had to send in my measurements since it is getting ordered in another city, and apparently I don't know how to measure myself. My waist measurement was 4 sizes bigger than my other measurements...that would make me rather unproportional. All is fixed and I found some really cute shoes to wear! While I was out shoe shopping, I did have luck with some other good finds!

Congrats to DanceBlue which looked like they had another great year! I really did miss that this weekend. Even though it was at times painful and I wasn't sure I could make it, that was one of the most rewarding and fun things I have ever done. It is like spending 24 hours straight with all of your friends!



While I was working last night, I saw the end of the Oscars and I must say I am thrilled that Sandra won! That was a tough group but considering that was my favorite movie of the year, I had my fingers crossed for her.



Thank goodness we have had a glimpse of spring the past few days! I cant wait for it to officially be here. (Except for the rain because my hair doesn't know what to do in that situation.) Please let it stay!



Well hopefully I will have a bit more time to talk about my life this week (if I have something worth talking about).



PS I did receive William-Sonoma wedding gift registry information in the mail last week. If you know anyone who is really in the market.....
