It's what day!?! Did you say FRIDAY!?

This is basically how this week has been...not really knowing what day of the week it is because everything has been so crazy busy. Everyday I woke up asking myself what day it is. And yes I spent about half of yesterday thinking it was Friday, let me tell you...I was really disappointed when I found out it was really only Thursday.

This past week was filled with work, the movement factory, the bachelor, and more work. 



Work lately has been insane. I went to school for Marketing, yes I double majored in Marketing and International Business. Can someone please explain to me how I ended up on the Finance team?! You read that right, I'm on the finance team of a Fortune 500 company. One word, YIKES! It has been month end, which means a ton of reports that need to be sent to sales reps, rebates to be sent to customers, things to be accrued (Google the word...I had to) for and warranties/contractor agreements to be issued. Work has just been insane. I am very thankful to have such amazing co-workers that keep me sane, well we just b*tch about things and how many requests we get each day. Work has just been on a different level, but hey it's job security!


Working out


As you know, I recently joined a new workout studio. This place is amazing, it has boot camp classes, Pilates springboard classes, barre classes, Pilates classes. The classes are smaller in size which I love because I get more personally attention to my form. This past weekend I've been at the studio or my regular gym every day after work. I'm going to Tampa to see My Guy next Friday so I want to be in great shape. This past week my workouts have been:

Monday : Run 5 miles.
Tuesday : Boot Camp 6-7PM, Barre Sculpt 7-8PM
Wednesday : Boot Camp 6-7PM
Thursday : Pilates Springboard 5:30-6:30PM, Pilates Mat 6:30-7:30PM
Friday (today) : Booty Barre 5-6PM

Nothing like getting in a great routine for summer time! 

Oh my week also consisted of The Bachelor, of course! While I'm not a fan of Juan Pablo, I see like the show and the drama that comes along with it. I'm a girl that enjoys watching drama on TV, shocker! While drama on TV is all great and funny, I hate drama in my life so I try to stay as far away from all drama magnets out there.



That was basically my face the entire time watching the women tell all this past Monday night. Those girls were ripping him apart but I think Juan deserved it. He would go around kissing on girl and then using excuses with the other girls. Blah blah blah, drama :)

How was your week?
Do you workout?
Are you in a job that you didn't thing you would ever have?
What do you think of the bachelor?
Are you going to watch the finale!?

Is it really over?!

Is this really happening? I truly can’t believe this is happening. Have you ever felt like you were in a dream and you woke up but you were still dreaming? That’s how I feel. I feel like this is another moment of  impact. If you've ever seen the movie The Vow, you understand what I’m talking about when I say a moment of impact. And if you've never seen the movie, then you have to see the movie because it’s great. So anyways, a moment of impact involves the potential for change. It has the ability to crash things closer together while sending others further apart. We are always looking and waiting for the next moment of impact.

My biggest moment of impact was more emotional and mental than anything I've experienced in a long time. It had me thinking, beaming with pride and accomplishment, it had the people around me beaming with pride. This moment of impact was when I was offered my first real big girl full time position. This is something I've wanted, dreamt of and worked towards for years and it is finally here, almost. My first day on my first big girl job is Monday and I couldn't be more excited, proud, nervous and scared. This position has come unexpectedly but is very welcomed.

When I was younger I always wondered what I would be doing when I was in my 20s, what would I look like, would I have any kids, would I even be married and I also wondered if I would have made myself proud. Well younger me, I did it (kind of). While I’m not married or even engaged, it’s ok. It’s ok because I am in a happy, healthy, loving, hating, laughing, raw relationship. And for the kids part, that will come with time (lots of time). I’m young let me enjoy my new full time position, let me enjoy the travels I still have to plan and enjoy being young with My Guy.

So my Co-Op days are over and real life begins, wish me luck!

*P.S. check back for celebration posts (there might be a few too many).

FML...How to get up when you've been knocked down...

Recently I have been feeling like the life has been sucked out of me...therefor I'm going to use this time to vent. For those of you who want to listen (read I guess) please stay, if you don't want to hear about some college (almost graduates) problems then just leave now. Look at this post as the part of the wedding when the priest (or whoever) says "does anyone object for the marriage of these two speak now or forever hold your peace" but instead of speaking it would be leaving. Lets just pretend like that all makes sense. Ok back to what this post is all about....

Have you ever felt like everything you do is just wrong? Well that's how I've been feeling lately and I don't even know why....well maybe I have some clue as to why. Let me start from the top...(started from the bottom now we here):

  • FML #1 of the week: I have been a co-op at the same company for 1.5 years and I am graduating college this Sunday (woooo...kinda). All these job posting keep coming available that I'm sorta not really interested in.Let me explain, I'm getting my degree in marketing and I love marketing therefore I want a marketing job. Yes I know that getting a job in your field is hard and blah blah blah. But hear me out...a job was posted for a half administration half sales coordinator position and naturally I didn't want to apply because it isn't marketing. But when the hiring manager went and spoke to my director about me applying I figured I would apply because they are obviously interested in me and I think they are looking to hire me. So I apply, I update my portfolio, I have a 2 hour interview....and then I don't get the job. Really? You didn't hire me after indirectly asking me to apply. FML
  • FML #2 of the week: I have 4 classes this semester of which 3 are in class and 1 is online. You would think that my online class is easier than my 3 in classes which consist of Management Strategy, Management Strategy & Policy and International Management. Nope....you're right, my online class is TERRIBLE! Talk about throwing an unfamiliar program at someone and telling them to complete 3 projects with no program instructions. So my online class is now kind of over since I took my TWO finals online but I still have one last group project to finish ... oh and I graduate on Sunday. FML
  • FML #3 of the week: Our Christmas tree fell and it is currently just hanging out in the middle of our living room. Read the post here. My mom and I can't fix it because it's too heavy to take outside and do whatever needs to be done to it to be fixed so we have to wait for my dad to come home and fix it...on Friday. So till then we have a random Christmas tree just taking a nap in the middle of our living room. FML.
  • FML #4 of the week: I went to Ulta last night to buy some makeup and hair stuff because I'm trying to experiment with new brands and products. I was just wandering around the store for about an hour and I picked up a few good things such as a new gel eyeliner, BB cream (first one ever), little travel size shampoo and conditioners of a brand I've been wanting to try, some face lotion, and some other little stuff....that equaled $81!! Talk about a FML because I didn't realize I had picked up this much stuff. And boyfriend, if you're reading this and are currently mad that I spent $81 on makeup and hair stuff, just remember how much money you lost at the casino. FML.
  • FML #5 of the week: Friday I have my work Christmas party at a really nice restaurant called XO and we all obviously need to dress up and look our best. Well, I have nothing to wear and I want to wear a dress. We can add this to the FML list of the week. Oh and I need a dress for my graduation on Sunday....what does one wear to a college graduation in December anyways!? FML.

Thanks for reading my list of FML's for the week, mind you it's only WEDNESDAY! Ahh this week just needs to get better or be over. Yep there it is my first venting FML post and my first post with no pictures. And I don't even care because just.... FML.
