Suprise Holidays are my favorite

YAY! My boss just gave us a suprise paid holiday tomorrow - gotta love that :) I'm going to enjoy hanging out with my parents, brothers, and dogs!! Happy Thanksgiving Break!!

I've gone country.

After hearing all those Texas accents this weekend in Houston and the CMAs earlier this week,  I felt the need to reconnect with some good ol' country music. I just burned a copy of Clay Walker and George Strait and I'm falling in love again. Ahh Clay you know a way into a women's heart...

Lately.

Sooo I've been not feeling so good since Saturday afternoon so I have been trying to get lots of rest before this weekend aka Ashley's Wedding Extravaganza!! I'm uber excited to go but I hope I am feeling 100% before tomorrow! If you know me at all, I usually have LOTS of energy so please pray for me to be all better for the wedding. (oh, and that this war that've I been fighting with my skin in the middle of my face will depart ASAP)

Anywho, I am getting a new Vera Bradley bag for this wedding and please vote for the print I should buy. The finalists are:

Yellow Bird

Puccini

Mod Pink

Kensignton

Please tell me which one you would pink and why and I will reveal it to next post....Even though I've probably already bought my favorite!

Blessings and Love!

little boxes of awkwardness.

Elevators. why are they like the black hole of awkwardness?!

I swear some of my most uncomfortable moments happen in elevators. I work on the 7th floor of a building so of course, i take the elevator about 6 times a day (go to work, get breakfast, go upstairs, get lunch, go upstairs, leave for the day). I get onto an elevator by myself about 80% of the time but then there is the other 20% of the day that is usually a total hot mess of uncomfortableness. now i'm sure i'm exaggerating the condition of awkwardness but there really is NO good way to start and end a proper convo on the elevator but I can't help myself because there is nothing worse in my head then "dead time" where all occupants of the elevator just pretend there are no other individuals in the same elevator. Adding to the difficulty of ignoring others is that the entire door wall is a mirrow - meaning you stare at each other no matter what angle you are looking. Usually people just check themselves out, pull/adjust their clothing, rummage through their bags, stare down at their cell phones, and the list goes on of convo avoider activities.

IF a convo is started, it usually revolves around the weather, sports, or politics. I can manage a quick little quip about the debate, the cowboys, or "staying dry" to bring the other individuals a quick smirk. My parents would claim elevators make me uncomfortable because our generation is technology driven and we can't handle human contact anymore. I disagree. I think people are just weird. But I was wondering everyone's thoughts on elevators? how do you start a convo? got any tips on how to handle this seemingly routine human encounter? Is it me? or is it the elevator?

blessings and love!

they did it again...

Now you could call me an Apple groupie but I just really admire their constant innovation. Check out the new macbook and why it makes me covetous! It is not only completely creative in design but it's also more environmentally safe!
