This is what I need...


I need a vacation!!!
One week from today.
I feel like life is moving in slow motion right now.
And I don't feel that content with where I am at.

Can you guess the presidential candidate we are supporting?

WHO?
AHH...
YES!

This sparkly, glittery, ultra-glam shirt was a gift from Brian's uncle.

YES! SCORE!

I can't think of a good subject...

When I get home from work I sink onto the couch until it is time for bed, and then I drag myself upstairs. My new job is mentally draining. I like it, don't get me wrong but I had a client tell me that I am a saint to put up with everything from it. I know that my family is probably laughing, thinking of me as a saint but I really feel like I am gaining a whole lot of sympathy and patience. At times I want to pull my hair out and run laughing around the office like the lunatic I truly am. AHHH! I know that it will get better when I actually know what I am doing.

On other news, Brian and I have just celebrated our anniversary! It was a cuddly, relaxing night full of plans for our trip to Niagara Falls in Sept.

Too mentally drained to type anymore...

Learning and headaches...

I am a money machine, well not really but I am excited b/c of my pay increase!

And...
My brain is full to the brim with credit reports, registers and other nonsense.
I also decorated my cubicle today.
I think that I like my new job, it is crazy busy/stressful but not boring.
I still don't really know what I am doing though

It was my birthday last weekend and the LaBennes and I went to Greenfield village.
It was a lot of fun but tiring.
We also had some amazing food and I got my first pair of birkenstocks.
They are the most comfortable things in the world.
I am in love... with them.

I am super jealous of Brian right now. He is a few min away from seeing Radiohead.
Is it bad I am already ready for the weekend.

What a great weekend...

Hello, last weekend a bunch of my SAU friends and I went up to Alisha's grandparent's house up north. Here are some pictures from the trip.

This picture is from the island where we had a bonfire.




On the boat, I got pretty sunburnt
We joked all weekend about being in our mid-20's and really mature. We decided to make shirts that say, "mid 20's and lovin' it!" Aren't they funny? It was so good to see everyone and it made me miss school and hanging out with everyone.

Promotion...

YES! I am promoted and I start my new job on Monday. The fun thing is that one of my friends has also been promoted and we will be trained together. (I hope I don't hate it)

I feel like a real career woman now. Although I still think I would make an amazing stay at home mom for Potter.

And... Project Runway starts today!

I am an old woman...

It is 9:30 on a Friday night and I am so exhausted and thinking about going to bed.
I think I am still recovering from all the not sleeping well last weekend.
Another reason I am exhausted is that I had an interview today.
Why you might ask....
Well, my boss told me when I got into work on Wed that I should apply to an opening in our account maintenance department. (This is super exciting b/c I would get paid quite a bit more and he thinks I am ready after 3 months when usually it takes people at least 6 months.)
I did some shadowing there and had an interview today.
I think it went well and we will see.
I would be so excited to get it but I would really miss the people I am working with now and I also won't like that it will be more stressful BUT it will be more money and experience.
We will see, I won't get ahead of myself. I don't find out if I got it until next week.

As a present to myself I just bought some new beads and they are beautiful.
I also got some gorgeous, deep blue yarn to start knitting myself a purse.
There is nothing like the joy of getting new yarn/fabric/beads...
