It's okay, I don't know what I'm doing either.
So, I've been at the new gig for a week now. I'm gonna be honest and say that the jury is still out as to whether I made the right move or not. But I know I can't make that call based on one week so we'll see what time brings. The main issue this... Continue Reading →
I got the office cleaned out and goodbyes said on Thursday. I'm more excited than nervous about Monday. I mean, what can I possibly mess up on the first day? The first week even? I'm probably tempting the new gig gods by saying that. I still need to figure out what I'm going to wear...and... Continue Reading →
...that I made a very ugly and somewhat overcooked, but very tasty breakfast for myself this morning! And because I'm nice and like to share, omelet you see it. Somebody stop me. Recipe from Cooking Light Omelet with turmeric, tomato, and onions
I received the official job offer letter today and it's all ready to sign and send back in the morning. Monday will be my first day and I'm pretty excited. The location is as good as it gets in the heart of a happening area of town, above retail space and right across from my... Continue Reading →
I deemed today "family day" and made the proclamation that we were all going for a hike and a picnic. Momma had spoken and there would be no arguing. And so, we took off to a local park that I didn't even know HAD hiking trails until an acquaintance enlightened me. As this was a... Continue Reading →
Things fell into place faster than I imagined and I start a new job on March 24th! It's with the same organization but in a different location and department. Hooray! I am excited but also second guessing myself in the back of my mind about whether or not this is the right choice, because that's... Continue Reading →
I have no idea what got into me the other morning before work. I got all ambitious and began making a no-bake strawberry shortcake. Of course I didn't read the recipe all the way through or I would have learned that I had to freeze it for 3-4 hours before finishing the whipped cream and... Continue Reading →
Today was rad. I took kiddo to the zoo for a date with her bestie and her mom, and then to her friend's house for lunch and playtime. My friend Phil, grilled for us and then there was tree climbing, hide and go seeking, Disney soundtracking, doughnut eating, rope swinging, bike riding, hula hooping, and... Continue Reading →
The hair y'all. If you know me at all, you know that my hair is a thang. I bore easily in general, so I tend to change up the coif frequently and it's been many many many colors and cuts and spiky and slicked back and boy short usually. However, for whatever reason, primarily additional... Continue Reading →
I saw this via Introverts Are Awesome on Facebook, who got it from peteandbuzz.com. While I haven't felt like a bear lately, I do relate to this in a big way. Plus, it just cracked me up.
On one of our snow days last week kiddo decided we should make a "science project". The science project turned into a homemade mini stage and stick puppets. It was a fun day and kid is quite creative. We did a couple of puppet shows after her thorough explanation. Here's some footage for your viewing... Continue Reading →
The job search continues. I had a bit of a surprise today. Due to an HR paperwork snafu, my position is not officially eliminated for an additional 5 weeks from the date I was originally told. While this gives me a nice cushion, for various personal reasons, I don't want to have to use it.... Continue Reading →
Its 2am and I'm sitting up in bed listening to some sort of precipitation, be it rain, ice or a combination on the roof. Schools were cancelled for tomorrow hours ago so I'll be at home with kiddo for the day. With the exception of about an hour during which I have a phone interview.... Continue Reading →
