Life Lately

FRIDAY! Hello, old friend!

Do you ever have those weeks where you have gotten so much accomplished…and somehow, absolutely nothing accomplished at the same time?

Welcome to my week.

I have somewhere in the realm of 10 meetings this week. We have about 6 or 7 new hires joining our group next month. I’m overwhelmed, but in such a good way. Shockingly, the house work and our “better eating habits” haven’t fell behind. Even so, I can’t help but feel like I need to spend tomorrow deep cleaning the house. I want to open the windows, get some fresh air circulating {and it’s supposed to rain tomorrow…even better, the sound and smell of rain and an indoor day cleaning}, steam clean every piece of carpet, clean the windows, clean, well, everything.

I used to fight my parents tooth and nail to do chores. Now I {gasp} like doing them! It’s almost therapeutic..and Charles will be out with a friend all day tomorrow, so I can pop in a chick flick and clean away without interruption! A perfect end to an overwhelming week.

As for our Friday night…for the past month, Charles and I have had “movie night Friday night,” and this week is no different. We are going to watch “Bad Grandpa” and get some Popeye’s chicken {ok, not healthy…but the new one just opened close to the house and we have been eating so well, we wanted to splurge!} It’s a rainy day here, so it will be perfect to sit with a glass of wine, a fire, a delightfully tacky movie, and fried chicken {we’re rednecks tonight.}

I know we were supposed to go to the lake this weekend, but what can I say, mother nature and her wacky weather ways has a mind of her own. We didn’t want to driver down in rain, be in rain all Saturday, then drive back in sleet and snow on Sunday for the Superbowl. So here we are.

 

Life lately..

Date night with this handsome man...and look at the adorable photobomber in the background..

Married night in watching an adorable movie!

Had a rough day, came home to a bottle of wine from my wabes with the most adorable bottle stopper!

Honestly, this has been my "life lately"...papers on papers on files on work. Cube life at it's finest. Having a blast, but absolutely needing more than 1 cup of coffee each day.

What a gorgeous Friday I woke up to this morning! You can't beat sunrise, you just can't! How great thou art.

Baby shower at work for my friend Allison and her soon to be baby boy, Will! I work with some great people, and it's fun to celebrate big life changes with people that you love!

 

 

It's funny how the people you surround yourself with can impact your attitude. Surround youself with the wrong people and you'll be irritable, it will cause you stress, and just overall unhappiness. Why waste the time hanging around people that bring you down?

I understand that you've had the same crowd since high school. But that doesn't mean you can't grow apart. People want different things out of life. It's as simple as that.

I'm blessed to work with people who have the same goals and the same attitude towards life as I do. You can't cruise through life working part time at a fast food joint and not go to school and expect hard working "grown ups" to want to spend time with you. Let go of the people who are bringing you down.

"Be with those who help your being...I want to be around people that do things. I don't want to be around people anymore that judge or talk about what people do. I want to be around people who dream , and support, and do things."
