This & That

// I am participating in Everyday Happy and I am absolutely loving it!  If any of you read Melyssa or Erika's blogs then you know that they are both amazing women and after a few days in this course, it is clear that they have amazing amounts of wisdom on the topic of happiness and positivity.  I am just ready to soak it all up.

// You may remember me talking about my job interview last week. Well, I got the job!  That's why I have been gone the past few days.  I have 6 weeks of training to go through and it's just tiring to focus on computer training for so long.  BUT while I might not be blogging quite as much, I'll still be here :)

// I hope that everyone has a wonderful weekend!

This and That

// This week has been an almighty flurry of life stuff.  I have had a few job interviews, one of which I am pretty excited about.  Like I've literally had my fingers crossed for days.  My final interview is tomorrow so we shall see about all that. So sorry that my presence has been a bit sparse in these parts. 

// I've been doing a lot of thinking about where I want to be in a years time.  Part of me has these big plans of leaving the country for a year abroad.  But what would I do?  That's where I am not sure.  I'm considering grad school, or maybe teaching of some sort.  But I want N to be there with me and there's all this talk of Visas and it's all fairly confusing for this born and raised Texan.  

// This weekend we are chock full of fun times.  Tonight we are hitting up the fair.  I'm in it for the cheese on a stick, really.  On Saturday we are having a birthday lunch for N's grandfather and a going away party for N's cousin who will be shipping out with the Navy in a few short weeks.  And let's not forget Breaking Bad on Sunday.  This is the last episode and I have been beside myself this week with sheer worry about how everything can possibly tie together in one final hour.  I'm telling ya, I'm just not emotionally ready for this. Not at all.  Revenge too. Nolannnnnn!

// Also, This test from Dr. Phil was surprisingly accurate.  I got a 37. What about you?

I hope that you all have a lovely weekend :)

This & That

I have been working and working this week and it has been so wonderful! But it's been an interesting adjustment working from home.  I'm so grateful for it but it's almost like work never stops, ya know.  I mentioned to N this afternoon that I wanted to get away and he totally agrees.  He's got vacation time to spare so I hope to do a bit of thinking and plan a fun little trip in a few weeks!

Which reminds me that it is the weekend!  So that afore mentioned hunk is all. mine.  I don't have to share him with work for a few days and that is reason for celebration.

Oh my college football is in full swing and I am just downright gleeful about the whole lot.  We're undefeated so far!  We have had a lot of swtich-a-roos when it comes to coaches in the past few years but it seems the dust has settled and we hired Kliff Kingsbury and he's been a real hit.  See for yourself:

#agreed and he appears to actually be a good coach, if those things are important.

Also, thanks to those lovely ladies that are trusting me to design their blogs... y'all are awesome. I'm sure you know this, of course.

And a little shameless plug for myself... I am still offering 50% off a blog design. I'd love to give you a stellar redesign and have you grace my portfolio :)

Happy friday you guys, I hope your weekend is wonderful!

1  Ever since I saw the Boston post on The Everygirl I have been on the look out for a black and white buffalo check blanket.  I latch on to things like that, it seems.  Little snippets of photos or experiences invade my thoughts until I make them a reality.  It's been a while and I am still smitten and just this weekend I found my true love.  Thank you amazon, you're a site of many talents.  Matchmaker most recently.

2  We are going on day 4 of me not wearing my contacts. Does this make anyone else feel like the epitome of a lazy-pants kind of human being? I don't know why my vision enhancing item of choice makes such a huge difference in my put-togetherness but golly it does.

3  And no contacts means that I haven't been much in the way of public appearances.  I am not exactly working from home, but I hope to be in the not too distant future.  For now there are a few blog jobs here and there and I am just enjoying having this time off to be able to explore exactly what I want to do in the future.

4  I've been doing a little bit more working out with my buddy Jillian.  You might know her, you see, because she's pretty good at work outs and stuff.  I picked up the Ripped in 30 and 30 Day shred DVDs and I really, really like them.  Between the two there are 7 different 20 minute work outs.  I'm not following her plan exactly but the workout are Tough.  There's a lot of truth in that capital T.

5  You'll see another post from me later today because I am partaking in the Blogtember challenge. Get ready, my friends, for a lotsa blogging from me.

And now, I'd like to introduce you to one of my beautiful sponsors this month:
