question of the day

WHY are the cleaning ladies at my job BOTH in the ladies bathroom WITH NEWSPAPERS in the stalls?

There are ONLY 3 stalls in the bathroom and they are occupying TWO while catching up on today's paper and whats on sale at various grocery stores! AND holding a conversation!!

hmmmm

rage

SO let me tell you! last week-SOMEONE moved my lunch at work in order to accommodate their lunch in the refrigerator-NOW since I got their early I felt first come first serve but this PERSON clearly did not! So I left a nice/pink post it stating " it's not cool to move someone's lunch-to make room for your own"-today i go to the fridge to take my lunch and i see they left me a REPLY!!!

it said-"SORRY-It's also not cool taking up more space than you really need when this thing is so jammed. I wont even look at others items in here anymore"

well ha-ha! and KMA!!!! (kiss my ass) I understand we all have to share the fridge but i am not about to move someone else's stuff-i understand wanting to squeeze your item in BUT to move mine out a drawer and just toss it on a shelf to put yours in a drawer AND yours is like the same size as mine-double KMA!!!
I dont care if they left me a pissy note in response-i see they too didnt leave their name!!!


on another note-yesterday I felt like i was at a crossroad-and i talked to my brother who normally makes my skin crawl like chicken pox-SIKE-but he knows how to get under my skin but for serious things he gives out great advice-and he talked me through my concern and thoughts and ideas and brought me back to a grounded level and looking at the big picture and i was just SO grateful for him!! so even though he knows which buttons to push to make me mad and just how many seconds it will take to make me snap-*which i think he secretly relishes in* BUT when i need him-he's always there for me!!!

ok enough of the mush and anger-happy monday-i hope everyone has a productive and amazing happy week!!

why

WHY do my coworkers talk loud!!!
DON'T they realize I am TRYING to listen to my Christmas Podcast!!!! Geez how inconsiderate!

i'm finishing the last of my thick oatmeal -YUM-i can almost feel it removing all the bad stuff from my arteries!! flushing my system!!! heheeh

so right now this is what i am looking at online WITH a smile on my face:

I think I need to catch up with my twin-my Mom-and coordinate a trip because only she shares the same level of enthusiasm !!!

So this whole week has been so 1st gear for me-I was not up and early I was just strolling along-but hopefully next week I will be back on track with my runs and productiveness

its friday its friday!

i hope everyone has a great weekend and talk to you soon

friday eve

hmmmm what can i rant and rave about today....clearly i had some complaints about the lack of blog thus far today-so in an attempt to appease folks here it is

i have to declare this my week of slacking-i did not run at all this week and i can only wait til saturday in order to redeem myself-although thankfully with my lack of running i did not substitute with extra eating

so i must share a pet peeve of the day: i HATE when i am on the elevator with my floor pushed and the next rider gets on and PUSHES the exact same damn button as if they are going to get to floor 3 ANY quicker than me OR the face that i pushed it and it was illuminated as IF that was not good enough-just get on the damn elevator and slide to the back-DORKSS!!!

What else-I was helping a old coworker out with a project (un job related) and so I say email me the info and i will review edit and return-fine no big deal!!! in other words IM WORKING-now i understand at my last job I was not always working and often times had a lot of FREE sedentary time to think and get creative and then share all my ideas with people who actually did work and have real jobs-BUT that's not where the problem lies-love this chick to death-BUT she called me 10 times before I even had an opportunity to LOOK at the said project! I finally had to say-because she wasnt calling me with ANYTHING new-just different ideas-so I told her-stop calling me get to writing me and then SEND me the final product!

gotta love people right!!!!

sooo on another note-i've been at my current position a year AND in another 2 weeks-I get my next grade!!!! cartwheels cartwheels!!!

tonight i am making spaghetti-BUT here is the variant-i found Bertolli's vodka sauce which i hear is amazing SO stay tuned tomorrow for the results folks!!!

Hump Day!

hello hello hello!!!

So lets see my day was starting off pretty umm unmotivated-i slept in AGAIN til 7am and did not run this morning-this week i have been in serious SNOOZE mode-not sure why but maybe its the rain i have been in no hurry to exit my king size bed in the AM

so i got in to work and for the past 2 weeks i have had this killer test that i was unable to pass and unfortunately it does not pertain to what i do in my position and normally there is always a way to assist yourself in these tests and this one there was not
i kept receiving a 76%
THIS morning after one of my team members clued me in on a "secret" to pass the test and low and behold-5 attempts later-i scored a 92%

so i am pretty much feeling good feeling great and a lady at the microwave just told me i was skinny and if she looked like me she'd eat whatever she wanted

so life is good! my oatmeal is made and sitting on my desk-
i go home to see my parents in 2 weekends and my recently diagnosed obese Brooklyn! I can't wait-its something about going home-that just refreshes you

soooooo
i am about to put in my headphones and escape to Christmas!!!

because i'm me

you all already love me and know me so what i am about to say should not surprise any of you!

I found some new Christmas podcasts and since this is my favorite time of the year-i can listen and think Christmas ANYTIME of the year-even in the summer.

its not an effort to rush the year by BUT i love everything and anything Christmas-as an adult-it goes by so quickly and i like to cherish every moment of it

on my podcast they are talking about the history of the macy's thanksgiving day parade-i love it-i remember as a kid going downtown with my neighbors and watching the parade, i remember the hot chocolate, the thermals, the donuts...it was SUCH a magical time for me, i realize how amazing and magical my childhood was..to all the cynics out there who don't believe it really saddens me because reality will come soon enough as you age, but as a kid it is important to believe and feel the magic of christmas, to have fond memories

my new favorite movie-Polar Express is so wonderful because it speaks about how we stop believing in the spirit and all of Christmas and become jaded and cynic, very true the holiday is a bit over commercialized but isnt it important to keep it magical and non commercialized so that the right spirit continues to be passed along

its not so much the idea of the big fat guy in a suit-its the music, the smells, the mostly good cheer and good spirits, its a time for celebration of life and love

there are so many traditions that as a child i try to continue and i cant wait to continue with my kids,
i love decorating the tree-it was always a time for our family to just spend time together and laugh and just be united
we listened to christmas music and just enjoyed each other-that's the reason behind the season

i love a michigan fresh snow chirstmas morning
i love the jingle of the bells, i love sledding with josh
hot cider hot cocoa!!!
christmas hats!!! red sheets....the garland down the stairs the wreaths, the luminaries

every song, every wish, every silent night...every hug, every kiss makes christmas what it is a time for love and celebration

sooo as we come upon the season-dont get caught up in the commercial-get caught up in the love and tradition and family

monday

so my day is starting off pretty lazy-i slept late (630am) then meandered into work!!

I had a very chill weekend with R-I redid the living room which is one of my highlights-why because I like the way it looks now and it was my idea-I feel like its my sanctuary now!

I ran tad over 4 miles this weekend and then attended the Predators football game-so i was happy about my run BUT then I didnt take into account that I had to be amongst clean people and man I was super sweaty-but oh well its over and done-next time I won't forget a change of clothes

i made the most amazing fan-tabulous cookies-in the fridge section-CINNABON now has cookies and I must say they are delightful!!!

I also tried the new Pepperidge farm flat 100 calorie bread thins-they are the answer to not having a ton of extra carbs with your lunch


hmmmm what else- i guess nothing for now-have a great monday!!!
