A New Way to Unwind!!!

Today I had the day off and it was wonderful!!! I spent the day with a friend at Ulta. She had a trial run on her hair and makeup for her wedding day next month. She looked wonderful. I than ran some errands and enjoyed a donut!! I ended my day at the gym, doing yoga.
As a lot of you know I am not really a workout kind of girl. I feel that I get enough exercise at my job walking around the store a million time. Unfortunately, it's not enough. So Ashley not only talked me in to a gym membership and tonight she talked me into yoga. I have to thank her. I loved it so much. It was so relaxing and rejuvenating. I feel like a different person, with all of this wonderful positive energy. So if you have not tried yoga, you should. All of my stress is gone after one hour of deep stretching and breathing. I am ready to finish my work week.

Good Old Monday!!

I can't help but love Monday's. They set the tone at work and home for how the week is going to go. Every Monday morning I wake up, with a song in my head called, Manic Monday. I sing it in the shower, while I am getting dressed and on my way to work. I even sang it to my team members. It makes them laugh and to me that's how the week should start. I guess you can say that I am one of a kind, since I love Monday's. There is just something about starting a new week, and going in with a clean slate that I love. I know we should live everyday with this feeling, but there is just something about Monday's that really makes me feel it.
Every Monday I get my homework from my boss for the week. I so thought I was done with homework after college but not so much. This Monday was made even better by the fact that I am off tomorrow!!!! I am sooooooooooo excited. I have even taken some time in my "Manic Monday"to plan out what I need to do at home. Ha!!!
So for all of my peeps out there I hope you enjoyed your Monday. Start the week off planting that positive seed and watch it grow into this wonderful energy that rubs off onto other.

Love you all!!

When did this happen!!!!

So tonight after work, I stopped by Candace's parents house. See they are having a party for Kelsey. Kelsey graduated from High School, and is one of Candace's younger sisters. I remember when we would have to go to there house to wait for the girls to get off the bus. She will be turning 18 this summer, and man how time flies.

As I sat in my chair watching Kelsey blow bubbles, I thought back to when I graduated. The year was 2001, and I was 17. I had soooooo many goals and dreams. I had planned my life right down to the seconds. As I started to recall, I felt great about all of the goals I set for myself at 17 and at 24 have completed. I wanted to move out, graduate college, and start a career. (All I have completed) Than I thought about some of the silly things I just knew would happen. I was going to be married by 22 to my boyfriend at the time, start a family at 25, and live in New York City. (All I no long want to do, except live in NYC) It amazes me how much I changed just in the first year of college, not to mention the following four years. Even today, I realized I am still changing. I am not the same person I was a year ago or even four months ago. So tonight I had a thought. "You never STOP changing."

So CONGRATS class of 2008, especially Kelsey Moore!!! Good luck with all that you choose to do and know that it is o.k. to CHANGE!!!! I leave you with a quote that a friend gave me.

"For all that you are and for all that I know you will be"- Unknown.

You Win!!

After a phone call from one of my nearest and dearest, I am in blogger land. I do not know what I am doing here. I guess one could say that my goal for this blog is to easily connect with my friends. Gone are the days of walking across the living room to tell Tiff about my day. Candace has moved to the beach, and Ashley is soon to follow. I am on a different work schedule than all of my peeps in the boro, so getting together is not as easy as it was. Hopefully this blog will help me to release a little work stress as well.

So on with a little about me. I am 24, single, a aunt, a daughter, a sister, a friend, and a woman competing in a mans world. I recently got my very first "Big Girl" job. I never knew having a career would be so satisfying. I am in management with Target and love it. Yes, I work every other weekend and from 50 to 60 hours a week. I was the only female in my training class, and the funny thing is I was interviewed by all women.
