Revival

A few months ago, I posted this. It was me being restless and tired and in a funk. That was the beginning of me making some changes. I started putting me first and doing things for myself. Its was just what I needed to wake myself up. I've put some things into motion and I'm seeing things in a whole new light.

Work isn't getting to me as much as it used to. I seem to be catching up on things. Now that could be because I have more help and things have slowed down a bit, but still. I'm taking the changes in stride and I'm cranking the work out. I'm not as stressed or as upset when I am at work, which is GREAT!

My creative juices are flowing like mad crazy. There is so much that I want to make and so much I want to do. The projects that I want to tackle just keep getting bigger and bigger. I'm excited to start some new ventures in the near future.

I'm losing weight, which is one of the biggest changes I've made for myself. I'm working towards an ultimate goal and I have confidence that I will get there...and when I do...daisy dukes and bikini's on top. LOL. jk..maybe.

There are times when I can't shake that tinge of guilt whenever I do something for me. In all those cases, I have no reason to feel guilty. I guess its the noodle in me...Again something that I'm working on to overcome.

Because I do believe that the DJ's got us falling in love again...or at least my iPod is. ;)

Weekly Randoms

It's been a while since I've posted my randoms. Here goes:

1. I've lost a total of 24 lbs, 5.5 inches, and 2 dress sizes. I'd say the diet is going quite well. Yes it is.
2. This doesn't stop me from craving sweets...especially cake and ice cream...but I'm trying to be strong and just eat a fat free pudding pak instead.
3. I think I should reward myself for this amazing feat of self control with a new pair of boots. There are these cute ones at Target that I've been eyeing. 
4. Unfortunately, I have no idea what I'd wear with them...which means that I would have to buy a couple of cute outfits to go with the boots.
5. Which is a problem because I was just at Target and spent $60 on toiletries (man are those sonic toothbrush heads expensive) and the new John Legend CD.
6. I think I'm going to have some sweet dreams about John Legend tonight. hehe *sigh*

No song this morning..Instead here is a sweet video I came across while on Facebook. Enjoy!!

Miss Me Yet?

Whew, its been a crazy week...and its only Tuesday. How will I keep up with it all!? I feel as though I haven't slept well for days. In fact, it is now 11:30 and I have yet to get to bed. I have so many thoughts and ideas floating around in my head. I'm devising my plans to execute it. Now if I can just find the time...

Work has been busy as well. I'm trying not to over work and keep myself sane. Part of the stress is finding enough work for everyone. I learning to let go of some of things I do and pass it on to everyone else. It's hard. I'm trying.

Another reason why work is so stressful is because of my arch nemesis. Luckily I don't have to deal with this person too much...but hearing my boss and him go at it both stresses me out and amuses me at the same time.

Enough about work. On to the fun stuff. I created some masquerade masks for my mom and dad. I will be showing those on the craft blog one of these days, so look out for those. I also recently completed an online minibook class that has gotten me so inspired. I'll be showing that on the craft blog as well. I'm really hoping to get that back up and running soon.

In random news. I've been thinking about him lately. I'm pretty sure he doesn't think of me at all.

If it were different...

But I can't.
Not on your terms alone.
So.
Bye.

So Long Summer

Its already the beginning of September...and the end of Summer 2010 WOW. Time flies. Here are the highlights:

1. Drivers licensed renewed! My picture didn't turn out as bad as I thought. hehe.
2. I turned the big 3-0 and had a couple of small celebrations with friends and family.
3. OC Fair and an Adam Lambert Concert. That marked 2 things off my 30 while 30 list. 
4. I watched a special pre-screening of Step Up 3D. I didn't love it as much as the first and second one, but it still made me want to take a few dance classes. hehe
5. We successfully survived another busy season at work. Now we are in "how are we going to stay busy now??" mode. 
6. August was the beginning of serious diet mode.
7. Sammie and Bhoo were put in a kennel for the first time. 3 days. I missed them so. 
8. I saw several movies at the dollar theater, as well as a classic movie at a cemetery...All About Eve at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery to be exact. So. Much. Fun. SO LA!
9. I finally brought my car in to have that funny shakey brakey business looked at. Sadie is all better now.
10. I managed to completely cut out caffeine out of my life and water has become my new best friend.
11. My season tickets to the USC football games arrived. WooHoo.
12. I'm taking the steps and making a plan and stepping forward even if it looks like I'm stepping back.

Even though summer is over, I still have the fantastic Southern California weather...and music like this:
