What I Learned While Out of the Office


10 Things I learned when I spent 10 consecutive days in a row away from work.

1. My job is stressing me out. I LOVE my job. I never want that to be misconstrued but it is indeed stressing me out. I think I need to figure out how to diffuse some of the problems I encounter before they happen. I don't even know if that's possible but there are so many non-job related issues that I just can't deal.

2. I like to sleep. Daytime naps are completely underrated and should be mandatory at work. Ideally I would like to have a job that I could do at home during the wee hours of the night and sleep to the day.

3. Wine in the daytime is AWESOME!

4. I want to be able to enjoy spontaneous day trips with my kiddos. I wanted to do so many things with them during those days off but I was so unbelievably tired that All I did was sleep. I felt horrible but this brings me to ....

5. Kids don't care what you do with them they just want to spend time with you. We had the most amazing times sleeping late, make cinnamon toast at midnight and enjoying each other's company.

6. I don't want to spend the rest of my life working for other people. I deserve the freedoms that come with successful entrepreneurial ship.

7. Daytime television sucks ass once Good Morning America goes off...

8. I would read more if I had more time.

9. I should turn my phone off more often. Even when I get a better that has a battery that doesn't have to be charged  every 3 hours. I am usually frantic trying to find my charger to revive it if I'm at work. During those days off I left it dead for 4-6 hours at a time.

10. How to put my eyebrows on fleek....(tutorial coming soon)

Hey y'all!    I was finally able to get my grubby little paws on more Michaels Craft Store Grab Boxes. It was completely by accident, I simply wanted to buy a t-shirt to complete an order and I saw 4 boxes so I purchased 4 boxes. Here's what was inside: Most of this will get used. I was most excited about the floral department stuff and the lights. The total for my boxes is over $400. Anything I can't use, I'll be donating to my job! 

BOOK REVIEW: "I Almost Forgot About You" by Terry McMillan

While I'm not a Terry McMillan fanatic, I do usually enjoy her books. This title was hard to read and confusing from the very beginning. I understand that Georgia is on a mission to find herself but the books is long and gets boring often. Plus there are way too many characters to keep up with. I will still pick up a Terry McMillan book in the future but I do not recommend this book.

Weight Loss Check In- Week 1 - Days 1 thru 7

Starting Weight: 290 according to the new scale. Target Weight: My initial target weight for the end of week one was 282 lbs. but that was when I thought I weighed 285. Current Weight: 287 Next Target Weight: 285 - kinda feels like I'll be 2 weeks behind. How Many To Lose: 2lbs. Hopefully I'll lose more. Overall Goal Weight: 175 Overall Need to Lose: 112 Good LORD! This week I started with meal replacement shakes. My will power was not strong! I was able to do the shakes 3 full days, meaning I had one for breakfast and one for lunch with a sensible dinner. I purchased both Slimfast and Atkins and have been having the Slimfast shakes for breakfast and the Atkins shakes for lunch. I would say that those are to credit for the 2 lb weight loss because I didn't exercise...at all - just tried to move around more. This upcoming week I am going to do the meal replacements Monday -Thursday and see how many pounds I lose. Even though the scale didn't move much I do h...
