Up to my ears in boxes.

This has been my life lately:

Sorry for the gigantic lack of posts but between mini trips, “wedding” planning and over 100 boxes, filled to the brim with files, that need to be indexed…there just hasn’t been much time to dedicate to the blogosphere.

However, I have made a good dent (patting myself on the back and mentally congratulating myself – on the verge of going insane!) and hope to be done with indexing all this “evidentiary documentational support” by the end of the week. Thank goodness because I happen to think that saving thousands of documents that are over 15 yrs old and will most likely NEVER be needed again is a little harebrained and a waste of my time but then again I am just the call taker/go-to girl/fridge stocker — so what do I know?! 🙂

To top this off, I noticed yesterday I have over 90 voicemails on my work phone…how does this happen? Well its known nowadays as “butt dialing” and its also known as being a huge pain in the ass!  I mean honestly, what’s the dealio? At first I was frantic, thinking “Oh my gosh how have I missed all these calls!?” and then when I started to go thru them and found there to be no messages but instead lots of loud backround noise on. each. and. every. single. message. I realized then that someone must not realize they have our number listed in “favorites”. I have to manually listen and then delete each message.

I am on number 20.

70 more to go.

On the brightside I am on box 74 now, meaning I only have 35 boxes (approx 1,000 files) left to index.

I love my job, I love my job.

Hope you all are enjoying the blooming flowers that seem to be sprinkled about 🙂

FRIDAY.

Sorry for the lack of posts this week, actually had work to do – imagine that!

Fun weekend plans lie ahead…

The BF and I are headed here –

Niagara Falls!!
Hopefully we will survive our first road trip together! =)
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Swimwear to Silliness.

This past weekend I decided it was time.

The idea of it was crushing, and in the past has even been tear worthy but I knew it was coming and was prepared to waste away a couple hours of my life that would inevitably end badly (or nicely, depending on how you feel about insatiably consuming a pint of Ben&Jerry’s).

So, I took the brave step forward and stepped into what I consider my own, slightly subdued version of hell.

Bathing suit shopping!!!

The thought of it is often cringe inducing however I am relieved to say that this experience was not nearly as horrific as past ventures have been. In fact I found myself enjoying it!! How could this be? Wellllll, thanks to my mom, I have come across a hidden gem. A boutique of sorts that most fashionably inclined women wouldn’t think to consider… Lands’ End Canvas. http://www.landsend.com/canvas/?cm_mmc=77739712

It has been a long time since I have been able to bathing suit shop and not feel as though I am 400 pds and gaining; part of this is because of my oh so lovely big “bubbies”.  The clothes are very reminiscent of J. Crew yet not so reminiscent of J. Screw price tags 🙂
The real kicker is, that it is only online and in Sear’s stores! Sears, can ya beleive it?! Here is a little snapshot of what you will find, I spent a good hour and a half trying on different items and adding the finishing touches to my summer wardrobe.

Not to mention the fact that I find their ads to be sort of dreamy, don’t you? 🙂

Oh and before I have to check out I have been meaning to post about this since last week, if you have time check out my friend Nikki’s blog:
She is hysterically honest and for that I love her! :-p  Here is a preview:
“I’ll admit it… I am a Fatso. I may not look like a chub monster but I certainly eat like one.”
Our shared love for ice cream is one of the many reasons for our friendship =)
Lastly, I came across this quote today and thought of you. I have enjoyed every moment of silliness with you darlin’!
 

Cleaning shop.

Ah what a day. Things with the property I have been so excited about purchasing are starting to fall thru…so bummed. I need to just trust that everything happens for a reason and there is some purpose for this but considering all the work that has already gone into it, and what a great opportunity it is I can’t help but feel a bit let down. Nothing is set in stone and I am hoping and doing my best to figure it out – so cross your fingers, say a prayer, do a dance – whatever ya’ll do to ask for guidance from the banker angels that lurk above us! :-p Please and thank you.

Hoping to save this day from complete disaster I decided I would be productive and clean out my computer. Meaning, I decided to go thru my “Favorites” and do some much needed deleting. Some of these go back to two years ago! My life has gone thru so many ups and downs along the way – I got a chuckle out of some of them 🙂

– Such a funny site, definitely check it out (great little somthin’ somethin’ to send your bfs way)

– A site all about “creative writing”. My guess is I woke up one morning, felt the need to expand my intellectual horizons and decided to dive into the world of writing. This lasted approximately 24 hrs.
– This is a blog that I have been following for awhile now. Dennis Leary is from Worcester, (hometown boi!) and his wife is someone I have found to be very accessible. Not a hoity toity supahstahhh. They live on a dreamy, whimsical farm in CT. It is a very nice blog to read every once and a while. http://annleary.com/blog/
– I must have added this chica’s blog to my “fav’s” before I had my own blog! Love this gurl!
– Spent some time at this Inn last summer and had a blast each time. If you like woodsy, campy, upstate Maine definitely check it out!
– Maybe I was having one of those “fat” days or maybe I was genuinley interested in running a marathon…either way its a bit laughable right now. Especially since I ran three miles last night and felt as though I was going to pass out!
– Wanted to do this last summer and honestly cannot wait until I put away some time and dig my heels into this. What a great, great program 🙂

Woah look at the time!! Gotta run but I will continue this tomm — kinda fun 🙂

Eating.

Hmm where to begin with this…

It was inadvertently brought to my attention that eating is constantly on my mind, even during inappropriate times.

From the moment I wake up, (after I am thru trying to convince myself to take a sick day) I start thinking about breakfast. However, since I am not really a breakfast person I usually go straight to lunch and am thinking about what could possibly hold me over until that glorious hour of the day, 1 pm, hits. Once I am thru with lunch I then start thinking about how full I am and how I really must moderate my intake, which then leads to moments of depression and I find my hand digging into the candy bowl.

Luckily the struggle to maintain self control in regards to this very tempting bowl of heaven has begun to simmer down a bit; it may have something to do with the TWO cavities my dentist told me about last weekend…ops.

Anyways, so after the candy I am finally at peace…or so one would think! After the chocolate cravings have ceased I then have to focus on the 1 1/2 commute that must be dealt with and how do I mentally prepare myself for this? I THINK ABOUT DINNER!!! Oh and dinner is not dinner without dessert, correctomondo? haha It’s a perpetual cycle; one that I am usually ok with and actually at times I am proud that I am a girl who is not afraid to eat but I realized last night that maybe it has gotten out of hand.

After having a great “reggae pizza” night with the bf and some of his friends, we decided to hit the hay early and get a good nights sleep. Well, instead we ended up talking and talking, chit chatting about this and that, the future and our pasts yada yada. A lovey dovey moment of sorts. Well finally we decided it was time to go to sleep and we both closed our eyes. Just as I was starting to drift off into la la land I sprang up and the following convo ensued,

me – “OH MY GOSH, GUESS WHAT”

G – “What?”

me – “Bolocco has the perfect sized burrito now – a mini! ANDDD a mini sized milkshake too!! Who woulda thunk it!!!”

G – “Wow. Were you just thinking about what you are going to eat for lunch tomorrow?”

me – “ummmm noooo. not at all….”

And that folks is that last thing G and I talked about before we drifted off into dreamland. Romantic right?

TGIF

But seriously, you gotta check it out. It totally made my day today!!! Baby burrito/milkshake – perfect!
