Wishing Myself the Best Year Ever

Happy Birthday to me!! One year older and hopefully wiser too. I have a feeling that it is going to be a really good day. Even though it is early I managed to make it to work without having to sit in traffic for an hour. I took an alternate route and was here in no time. I then got to my desk and the two ladies I work with were kind enough to have a card and flowers sitting at my desk waiting for me on my special day!! That followed by a phone call wishing me a happy birthday from "one of a kind" has made 8:30am bearable and will only get better as I'll be going out with friends tonight to my favorite restaurant. Original Joes for the delicious cobb salad.

I've already been spoiled with so much and I even managed to spoil myself last night by getting my hair done. Lauren did a fantastic job and I am really happy with the color. You'll have to let me know what you think?!

Take Me There!!

I need to get away...PLEASE!!

Chocolate Obsession!!

Now that Easter is on it's way these don't help with the whole eating healthy equation!! I've refrained from eating any so far, but it won't be long before I crack...they're just so good.

Short Work Week!!

I love short work weeks and am so glad that it's already Wednesday!! I was expecting yesterday to be a little slow as it's reading week and I didn't think that a lot of the students would be around...quite the opposite though. There were lots of people around and it made the day pass by extra quickly. I then had to go straight to BR and work there for the rest of the night which was the better part of the work day. A new shipment of the spring line came in so I was able to try on and check out all the fun new pieces...only looked though as I have bought enough in the last little while. It is time to put away the bank card and save a little bit of money!! haha

By the time I got home I was exhausted and ready to crash on my couch while watching The Biggest Loser. This is the only show on TV right now that I absolutely have to watch...I love seeing the trasformations that occur as these people change their lives. All but two teams were forced to train outside of the gym this week and it proved to be rewarding for some while others still struggled to take off the weight that they needed to stay at the ranch. My favorite part of the whole show is watching the last chance work out, seeing the contestants weigh in and seeing the results of the person that goes home. Without fail I fell asleep before I was able to see the weigh in and woke up as they were showing Shannon's results after going home.

Classic Trench

This beauty will be arriving at my door step in a few days...or so I hope!! I ordered it on Friday and hopefully it will be arriving shortly. I don't suppose that I'll need it any time soon as I do have to wait for the weather to warm up, but here's for hoping that spring isn't too far off.

Keep On....Running!!

My goal this year is to run a half marathon and in order to do that I have to run A LOT!! I did my long run on Friday and managed to get in 9.63 miles...I would have liked to make it to 10 miles, but I guess that will be my goal for this week. It's unfortunate that I have to stare out the window at the same houses, at the same building, at the same little pond...hopefully it will warm up sooner then not so I can actually run outside.

Shopaholic

I had a really great weekend and part of that really great weekend was spent watching Confessions of a Shopaholic. I think that all of us can relate to this movie in some way or another and I loved everything about it. The critics gave it an average of a grade C, but what do they know really!? I would definitely give this movie an A+. Isla Fisher played the perfect part of Rebecca Bloomwood...her buying sprees and impulsive spending habits land her in some serious debt. She thinks that if she can land a position as a journalist at the top fashion magazine all of her financial problems will disappear. Funny thing is that instead of getting that dream job she becomes an advice columnist at a financial magazine and only becomes deaper in debt!! I really hope that they come out with more of these...there's lots of books so let's just hope that there's lots of movies.

Fabulous February!!

February is the month of love and romance as well as so many other awesome events that can only highten my excitement and make me really happy!! Lately my happiness levels have been at their peek, but it will only get better. I find myself smiling at the most random of times which has to mean something. February has a lot to offer...

Happy birthday to an amazing sister-in-law!!

I'm happy to call you my sister and hope that you have the best day. Love you!!

Need Opinions About These...

I never thought in a million years that I would admit that I like these shoes, but surprisingly enough I'm thinking about purchasing them. I've been looking for a pair of black casual shoes for the longest time and have yet to find the PERFECT pair. I think that these might do the trick. Do you think I can pull them off?
