    awkward silence

    Hey readers! I thought I would write this post today to hopefully make you laugh a bit (or at least smile) to get ready for the weekend. There are a few things that run consistently in my daily work life: 1. I’m always late (and no it’s not disrespectful of other people’s time when there isn’t a meeting) 2. I…

    now THAT’S a cool feeling

    I remember back in high school (hell it might’ve been earlier than that), my favorite radio station, 104 KRBE would have a segment called “cool feelings” with Psycho Robby. I looked it up and its actually from 1994. Wow I feel old now… It had little everyday things that would happen during the day that would evoke a feeling. An…

    photography

    So I finally took my very first photography class! I bought a Groupon about a year ago and FINALLY used it. I’ll tell you that after my wedding and looking at all of those photographers getting so creative with everyday things was inspiring. So I wanted to see if 1) I had an interest in it and 2) would I…

    in the kitchen

    So I’m not the best cook. If anything, I get easily discouraged in the kitchen. I don’t know how people see it as relaxing or therapeutic. It’s a lot of work for the 10 minutes it takes for you to eat it. By the time you dice the vegetables, cook the meat, make the sauce and let it bake in…

    directionally challenged

    If directionally challenged isn’t a real word, it should be. That’s what I am. I’m horrible at directions and always have been. Directionally challenged is a loving word my family started calling me after way too many “wait I don’t know where I am” (in the daylight, middle of the day, after I’ve been to that place 3 times already…

    butterflies

    So I started this blog to get my feelings and thoughts out there in the world and hopefully give me some kind of insight as who I am and what I can become. So early in this new year, I already feel as though I’ve grown so much as a person just by reading the things I write and getting…

    christmas has come and gone, only happiness remains

    First of all, Merry Christmas!! Last night was our Christmas Eve, the day we do everything. No Christmas Day in this house, everything happens on the 24th. We had dinner, midnight mass, presents until 4am and talked until 6am. Yep, it was a good night 🙂 On Christmas Day, I couldn’t be happier. I’m with the people who matter the…

    invest in people

    My husband had his company Christmas party today, and they did it up. We’re talking beautiful venue (Hall of State at Fair Grounds), cocktails, live music, delicious food and fireworks to top it all off. I think this one takes the cake as far as Christmas company parties go. They really know how to treat their employees well, not just…

    catch the energy, release the potential

    [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNDP9jLuzXU] I remember back when I worked for Universal Music we had our annual company meeting in LA to discuss new artist releases, business goals and the next years agenda. On the last day, we had our closing meeting with a presentation from our CEO with the goal to get everyone hyped up for the new quarter. Usually these presentations…

    mya

    Mya 🙂 It just now occurred to me that I haven’t written a post about my little doggie yet. Well let me tell you, she’s my little furry love ball. I really did get lucky with this adorable beagle. I bought her at a pet store before I really knew about all this puppy mill disaster. She was calm and…
