The one with all the changes...

So a lot has happened since the last post back in February. At the time I was in the process of moving in with my boyfriend and all the stress that comes with that. Well since then I have quit my job at the State, it just wasn't working out and I was unhappy and made the decision to go ahead and leave and pursue other things. I am in the process of trying to get a job using my degree, I thought I would be using it more at my State job but I was not. Job hunting sucks by the way but I am diligent and I believe something will come along soon...hopefully. So this is my first day of not going to a job I absolutely hated and I feel that it is a new start. It is amazing what having a job you truly are unhappy doing will do to your mood and your spirit. Let me tell you even when I wasn't at work, I was just in a bad mood, I can't really explain it but if you have had a job you hated you know what I am talking about. Anyways, I will keep you up to date on the job hunt and let you know how it goes.

Moving on, so my last post was about moving in with Stewart well now we might be moving again! Yes I know, I am exhausted just thinking about the process of moving but this time we will be moving into a house. Stew had been thinking about buying a house and I was all for that and with the housing market the way it is, it's a good time to buy.

So that is what has been going on in the last month or so, a lot is up in the air at the moment but I feel things are going to work out the way they should. Everything happens for a reason, I believe that if I wasn't always running ten minutes late everywhere I go then my life would be totally different. It's all those chance meetings that build your life and bring you to where you are today. Anyways, until next time...

The one with all the packing...

So, it's been awhile, not much has been going on except that I am moving in with my boyfriend. So the last 2 weeks have been nothing but planning and packing and dealing with the leasing office but we finally figured it all out and are now in the process of moving two apartments into one three bedroom apartment. To say the least I am exhausted but thankfully we have movers coming tomorrow to do the rest. That's about all I have to say for this blog, I am tired and am going to sit back and relax and drink my red bull and vodka! I have some great decorating ideas for the new place, I'll keep you posted on that! Have a great weekend!

The one all about Marilyn...

Marilyn Monroe has some of the best quotes. For someone who seriously played the airhead/dumb blonde/sex symbol persona up she was actually quite intelligent and had some very poignant things to say. I guess it really is true not to judge a book by it's cover, this is especially true of women. If we have any signs of femininity like boobs or curves or wear makeup or clothes that show off said curves or anything we get written off as unintelligent airheads that can be run over by men or treated like pieces of meat. The fact is that while there are some completely moronic women out there that let men rule their lives and treat them like crap, most of us do not. We know what we've got and we know how to use it in a way that will benefit us and give us power. Marilyn Monroe was just another smart woman who knew how to create a persona to get ahead in life and I think that's pretty damn awesome.

So tonight I think I'll honor Miss Monroe and have little movie marathon of some of her best work and I leave you with a quote from the original blonde bombshell:

"This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And babe, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soul mate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about."

The one with all the bubble baths...

I enjoy bubble baths. I enjoy mimosas. I enjoy chocolate covered strawberries. I enjoy chick lit books that are written purely for entertainment and not to make you a "well-read person"(<---that was said with a british accent). Now when you mix all of these ridiculously awesome things together, you have only the greatest 45 minutes of your life. I usually reserve this bliss for a stressful day or a weekend night that I just want to chill, I called it "tiara time" because I wore a tiara while I took the bath. Well not anymore, see life is too short to not do what you want...well not everything you want, but the harmless, indulgent stuff I definitely think you should do! So for now on I end everyday with a bubble bath, a (small) mimosa, a few chocolate covered strawberries, and a book. It helps me detox from all the over thinking I do (if you have spent an extended amount of time with me you know this), all the technology we are bombarded with, and helps me relax before bed. So everyone who is reading this, find something you love to do that is for you and for you only and do it!!!

P.S. Hi Mia!!! (imagine me waving at you)
