Oh my God, everybody is doing these now.
After lazing around yesterday and eating out two...
it’s time for some productivity. I spent the day doing laundry, organizing my gigantic tea stash, watering plants, washing dishes, updating my resume, and running to the store. I can’t promise I’ll cook a fabulous meal tonight, but we won’t be going out. I like when weekends are a balance of rest/rejuvenation and checking things off the to do list.
Also, I can't even put on a real shoe today due to...
So, I didn’t walk the dogs with Matt (favorite thing to do), and I won’t be getting off the couch. I’m going to be a lump. Movie time, yay.
So we ended up having the Mexican food and margs I...
…and so today I will definitely be needing that nap. Too much tequila, ugh.
I had grand plans for Mexican food and margs, but...
Such a dilemma. I suffer so.
Today, in laziness.
I went to the gym on my way from lunch with a friend. I stripped down to change into workout gear, and realized I forgot to pack a sports bra. So I redressed, drove 2 short blocks to my house, where I am now lounging with Coco and watching Dr. Oz rather that grabbing a sports bra and returning to the gym. Only 2 blocks away. My laziness kicked in over the course of only 2 blocks. Well, in my...
I had acupressure and acupuncture done yesterday...
It already seems to be helping my shoulder. Kind of amazing. I’m scheduled for Friday as well….heal me heal me heal me….
Actually, if my job didn't provide health...
You people get a cup. And not with a saucer.
I live in a parallel universe
where I am simultaneously a person who has family members that can’t afford health insurance and a person attempting to buy a wedding gift from a registry that contains an $1850 covered vegetable dish. I think ya invited the wrong gal, people!
I have an appointment with an ENT at 1:00.
I’m going to ask him, in all seriousness, to look in there and tell me if I’ve had a sinus infection for 3 years. Because that’s what it has felt like. My PCP just isn’t cutting it when it comes to my sinuses anymore, and it’s time for some intervention. Hopefully I won’t need another surgery (I had one in 1998), but I’ve heard the results only last so...
Top Executive MBA Programs of 2011: A Changing of... →
I joined Matt yesterday after his classes for a reception about this year’s Bloomberg ranking. SMU, moving on up. We are so fortunate that he is having this experience. It’s a huge undertaking, school on top of work (for which he travels generally weekly), but he is loving it. I’m proud of him. One semester down, 5 to go.
I have 9 lives like a cat!
Made it through another layoff. And everyone in my territory did too. DFW is a medical hub so it’s generally not as bad here. Phew, though. Although the industry has changed, it’s always nice to have choices. So I’m thankful.
Just got the sweetest text from my former boss...
Even if the industry has changed for the worse, the people are always great. That is what makes these regular shakeups so tough. Every 18 mos or so in pharma, you see really good people put into an unthinkable situation. No income. For married folks with two incomes, it’s maybe not as hard. But I have some dear friends who are single with a house payment, or married with kids and their...
My company announced layoffs this morning via...
There was a followup conference call at noon, and we will get a call between 9-11 am tomorrow with our employment status. I’ve been fortunate to make it through 4 layoffs/reorgs in my 8 and 1/2 year career. Pharmaceutical sales has changed so much in this short time. Change has always been expected, but it’s not the same job I was excited to begin in 2003. So we’ll see what...

This is what I’ve tried to realize over the past couple of years. I think I’ve done a good job. (via vbtwns)
Very true.
Sunday night
was spent drinking St. Arnold Winter Stout (anything from this Texas brewery is delish), cooking almond flour crusted chicken/Mediterranean veggies/garlic couscous, and shopping on Etsy.com. If I order one more owl item while drinking, someone take the computer away. Not the beer, the computer.
Saturday
My husband is back from a long biz trip to Sonoma, the sun is shining, and we have a fun birthday dinner to attend tonight. I’m in a good mood.

Wow, that is pretty wonderful.

Earlier this week I attended Printsource and picked up the January issue of FashionMANNUSCRIPT. While reading the latest news in the fashion industry, I came across an organization that provides new clothing to those in need, emphasis on NEW. Dignity U Wear works with fashion designers to…
My evening is looking pretty good, but then again...
I have left over chicken Italian sausage and broccoli rabe fettucine. And The Bachelor is on.

Can’t sleep, decided to google research why I felt the house shaking the other night. I knew it! A little bitty earthquake.
Oh my gosh, our little neighbor girl just came by...
I still have frozen cookies from last year! Guess they might be ready to be thrown out…

I see beers and grilling on the patio in my near future. Pretty sure I could not ever move back up north.
