One of those lives...

UGH! I know my job isn't extremely stressful, but I really need some time away! I'm to the point of tears because I feel like I live my life here!

Now I'll go and prepare for another 9-10 hour day tomorrow! yay.

All I've ever wanted was an honest week's pay for an honest day's work!

So....work is absolutely crazy today! Writing on this blog is my little escape from the crazy emails and phone calls that are bombarding my desk! AAGGHH!! Although, if it were quiet, work wouldn't be so fun and it would drag on forever! I like that people depend on me to help them out and put fires out! I like feeling needed! Now if they could compensate me properly, that would be fabulous! :) We do have a Happy Hour tonight so hopefully that will go off well! It's a little marketing experiment we are trying to see about acquiring new business!! YAY!

Did I mention that I'm a cheerleading coach? Yea, for 6 kindergarteners and 1st graders! I have their uniforms all picked out (the one on the far right except with EAGLES instead of Tigers - but the same colors....soooo cute)!!! They are going to a mini cheer camp at the end of the month! I'm so excited! I desperately need an asst. coach, though, b/c Kristin's wedding falls on a game day! AGGHH!!! I'll keep this updated on how our games and camp goes! GO ALLEN EAGLES!!!! DIVISION 1 FLAG FOOTBALL!! WOOHOO!!!

My class reunion is in a week and a half and I'm going alone. I have a couple of friends who are going so we've agreed to travel together - I don't think Dave is very excited about being the only guy with us, but he put up with us all through HS so I'm sure he'll be just fine!

Anyway, I'm being too chatty and there are emails waiting to be answered! Have a great day!

I need...

a pedicure - a maid - groceries - a bigger apartment - a plane ticket to ANYWHERE - a drink (with alcohol) - sleep - a tan

I have...

a great family - a fabulous job - lots of shoes - a puppy that loves me - one friend that would do anything for me and I for her - a $10 psychic - lots of purses - my belief in a wonderful God


Every now and then, I need to put things in perspective!!

Life is like a novel with the end ripped out!

REALLY SHORT UPDATE...work is going fantastically and socially my life is as stagnant as ever. I did, however, spice things up by running the Susan G Komen 5K Race for the Cure. It was awesome! I'm a slow runner, but I finished it in 38 minutes! YAY me!

Have a fabulous week and I'll be at Primos for happy hour tonight!!! WOOHOO!

New Beginnings

My highschool reunion is on July 27th and I'm so freaking nervous. I need to lose like 30lb by then and since it hasn't happened yet, I don't see that miracle taking form anytime soon! UGH!!! As long as my friends are there like they PROMISED, then it will be lots of fun! I just have to look super hot! :)

I'm in a new position at work and I'm so loving it. I'm back in a management/training role and it fits me much better than a hardcore sales role! I'm so happy!!!

This isn't very long, I know, but nothing too exciting is going on! Hope this week ends up being great!!!

Love this quote...

"We need a witness to our lives. There's a billion people on the planet... I mean, what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you're promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things... all of it, all of the time, every day. You're saying 'Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go un-witnessed because I will be your witness'."

-Susan Sarandon in "Shall We Dance"

Wow..time flies by

It is now almost a year later and to completely honest, I forgot that this blog even existed. I'm happy I rediscovered it again, though, because it's a great avenue for me to be open and honest with no repercussions. So where to begin? Well, I'm still working for Ideal Image and I truly do love my job. I work with a great group of people and we have a lot of fun! It's sales, so there is still the stress and anxiety at times, but overall, I'm very happy where I am. I FINALLY bought some new furniture. To most people, that's not very exciting, but if you'd ever been to my place and sat on my old furniture, you too will be thankful! It's beautiful and brown!! Here's a picture of the stock photo - my end tables and coffee table are different though - and I bought new pillows that are much prettier!!!

As I was reading through my old blogs, I realized that I have yet to make it back to NYC. I am hoping to go back sometime this summer and then I am going again for sure November 30- December 3 with my family! That should be a lot of fun!!

So I'm running my first 5K in June for the Susan G Komen Race for theCure. I'm excited except over the past week or so I haven't been running as much as I should be. Not to mention, my highschool reunion is in July and I HAVE GOT to get in better shape before then!!!

Well, I need to go run some errands! I'll be back soon though!!

Down with Dating

Ok, so I thought that as I got older, I would become more desperate and therefore lower my standards of who I date. That, in fact, is not the case. Actually, looking back, I think my standards in the past were much lower than now. For instance, the fact that "B" wore cargo pants and button down short sleeved shirts when we got "dressed up" to go out never bothered me a few years ago. But now I would rethink that one! LOL! I'm just not willing to settle anymore. I don't want to date someone just for the sake of dating.

Lisa's Perfect Date:
Someone attractive, not cocky
Someone who actually pursues me and doesn't expect me to make the first move
Someone who has SOME sense of taste when it comes to clothing
Someone who calls just to say hi
Someone willing to spend time with me AND his friends seperately
Someone willing to try new things and be spontaneous

Of course, I'm still waiting for that perfect situation where I meet someone out of the blue and sparks fly and it's love at first sight. And although there may not be such a thing, don't burst my bubble! I enjoy living in lala land! :)
