=snapple salad=

Once again, I've discovered something fabulous! It's called Snapple Salad. A coworker's birthday is today. When we have birthdays, someone is assigned to it to bring in the dessert and provide the card. Today's desert was Snapple Salad. Most people, when they hear the name, think it sounds quite odd. But it's DELICIOUS and so simple! All you do is cut up a few apples, whichever you prefer, king size snickers bars (number depending on the size of salad you choose to make) and mix them together with cool whip. This may sound strange...but try it! It's a must have.

Another fabulous find...ENJOY!

=sleep=

Lately, I've been sleeping horribly. I'm always exhausted at work but by the time I get home, I'm wide awake. I'm exhausted all the time, but I can't seem to go to bed any earlier than 11. When I do finally fall asleep, I sleep like crud. I wake up all every time I move. Each morning, my alarm starts going off around 6:15. I have to be at work by 8. To do so, I have to shower and get ready, plus wake Hailey up (which can take a few minutes, my little sleepy head) and get her ready, grab all of my 2 million things I take to the car and go. Well, my alarm STARTS going off around 6:15...and I should be out of bed by 6:45. I like the snooze button. For some reason, I can't get out of bed until 7:15...some times even as late as 7:30. I can't bring myself to do it. I'm pushing it out the door. Some how, I still manage to walk into the door at work, sit my stuff down and watch the clock on my desk turn to 8. Not sure how I do it...but I do. Some mornings, I bring my make up to work. Sad isn't it. I pretty much rely on caffine to get me through the day. Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do to stop this crazy sleeping pattern...besides drinking hot tea. That's not working....lol.

I have an addiction. A few months back, my neighbor told me about Pandora. As she told me about it, I thought, wow, now that's a great idea. I never imagined that it would become a necessity during my days at work...and some times at home. I can't go a day without it. It breaks the monotony of sitting at my desk doing tedious paperwork. It breaks the silence that often overcomes my department. It clears my head from all of the junk that I think about during the day. I spend the day in my little corner, singing in my head, sometimes out loud, the fabulous songs that the stations choose to play just for me! Being the hoarder that I am, I don't like to share my things. But this...this is too good not to share...and it's been long enough, keeping it to myself, so....www.pandora.com is a free website that you can create your own radio station(s). All you do is type in your favorite artist or song and it creates an entire station based around the style. Not only that! You can give the songs a "thumbs up" or a "thumbs down" so they know to keep playing that song or not. It's awesome! ....and addicting! My favorite stations are:

Jack Johnson
Ingrid Michaelson
Paula Abdul (yes...I know)
New Kids on the Block (once again, I know)

All time favorite station is....(drum roll please)...

Michael Jackson! Hahaha...I secretly love Michael Jackson and...Prince aka Artist Formally known as Prince aka (symbol) aka Prince (shhh).

So, now that I've shared this wonderful website with all of you...happy creating and ENJOY!

=attitude=

I've come to realize that life is definitely what YOU make it. Okay, so I've always known that, but I'm just thinking about it lately. No matter what your emotion, angry, sad, happy, frustrated, depressed, giddy, and so on and so forth, you decide what you feel and how you act. No one else does...things and people can play a part, but it's you that initial decides how and who you are each minute of every day. It is so unfair to put the blame on someone else...when only you can change how and who you are?

*sigh* it's been an emotional day....

I drive a 2000 Lexus RX300....

I love my car, I really do. However, I've been having some issues with it. On Sunday, my sister and I had a meeting for our business. We got into the car to head home, and my car turned on....but nothing else did. None of the dashboard lights, not the radio, locks, windows, seats...everything motarized wouldn't work. Therefore, I couldn't put my car in gear. Well, it did it again this morning...and it's still not drivable. I have a car that runs, but can't take me anywhere. What good is that? My uncle happens to be master mechanic, for toyota even, so he will be taking a look at it tomorrow night afterwork. Yay....I'm sure it'll cost me a small fortune...wish me luck.

I'm off to figure out how I'm getting to work tomorrow morning....

=it's cloudy=

My head has been in the clouds lately. I'm tired, unmotivated and cranky. I have a hard time getting work done and when I come home, I usually cook dinner and clean, but lately, I don't want to do anything. I sit on the couch, or lay and snuggle with Hailey. Ugh. When will I get out of this funk? I need my motivation back...pronto.

So, last night we had a little fiasco. I took Hailey to get her hair cut. I had been growing out her bangs, but she won't keep anything in her hair the past couple of weeks. So her not being able to see became an issue. I told them to trim them up....yeah, they are above her eyebrows now. I'm really frustrated with it. I know they will grow...but ugh. They just kept cutting them. It was a disaster. Not to mention that Hailey was not having any of it. As soon as they started spraying water on her head, the freak out began. :o)

Saturday night I went to a Drag Queen show downtown at the local gay bar with a couple of coworkers. I had stumbled upon it at a friends bachelorette party, Melissa :o), and have wanted to go back to see the entire thing ever since. We were finally able to go. It was so much fun. The only down fall...we had to stand the entire 3 hours and we were all in heels. OUCH!

Well, it's...late? Not really, I know, but I'm tired and I'm going to start winding down and getting ready to head to bed. It's Wednesday tomorrow...halfway through the week.
