Starting Small

For the few of you that actually do read my blog, my apologies for not writing over the last 3 or so months. As many have said before "I wrote lots of blogs in my mind, but never wrote them down," ...from saving money to decorating to more green girl achievements&gt.... there have been lots of cool things that would've been blog worthy. However, I have had this ridiculous fear that I am wasting my time and others by writing a blog. If it helps me, it isn't a waste. If it helps others, that's even better!!

So, now I need to start small. Because every time I decide "YES! This is going to be a great thing for me to write down," I panic, thinking I just can't collect my thoughts well enough to share with others. Shame on me for lacking the confidence to do something I truly love and find great satisfaction in doing; and all it costs me is an hour or so of my life a week, if that...

One of the great achievements I made during MIA time was painting and decorating my office they way I have always dreamed over the past couple of years.
The black blob with a tail is my dog showing me his satisfaction of the room
by doing his happy dog rolling and grunting.
Very happy with how it turned out. Steve thinks it is too GIRLY!
It's my office, so who cares what he thinks?
 
 
Work has been crazy weird, but that's okay. I am now the only employee at Tackle Marketing. It's quite odd, and I hope it is only temporary. I lost one of my best friends and coworkers, Dana. He went to Florida for a new chapter in his life. He has wanted to move there for a few years now, and I am very happy that he made his dream come true! We will keep in touch, but nothing like being together 5x a week for the past five years.
 
My favorite season is here, so I hope to take lots of photos of the foliage. However, I spend less and less time behind the camera these days. I have just gotten quite lazy in the past few months. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I am definitely less anxious, which is wonderful.
 
So, here I am. I plan on blogging again regularly. Hopefully, I will keep at it.

A day of enjoyment before going back to work

I decided I should do some fun things today, since it is my last day of not working full-time. I enjoyed a pedicure, which was very nicely done. I prefer going to a hair salon to get my nails done, but most of them were closed today. So, I ended up at a nail salon. I always worry about the cleanliness of those salons, but I went anyways. Afterwards, I went to Goodwill and found a few more things that I can wear to work. Since the boss seems to be concerned about her employees dressing 'too casual,' I decided I should invest in a few dressier looking outfits, because I totally was super relaxed at Tackle Marketing. I was wearing flip flops, t-shirts and capris a lot during the Summer. I found a couple of really adorable dresses. One is a bit snug, so I will have to spend some time trying to slim down for it to be comfortable. But I am very pleased with my purchases. Of course, I had to take Lucky for one more long drive since he really cannot walk that much anymore without l...

Day 15 - Time to Learn!

Image
But first, I did some SPRING CLEANING! I was drinking my morning tea in bed, looking at how unorganized my closets were in the bedroom. Staring at the piles of sheets thrown into the top of my closet shelf made me feel uneasy. So, since I had no set plans for this morning, I just started organizing. There are many pins out there stating you should "use your pillow cases to keep your sheets neat and orderly". Of course, I don't even want to bother with learning how 'easy' it is to fold fitted sheets. That might be the case if you are patient, which I am not. So, I stuffed my sheets in various pillow cases. Then, I decided I would utilize the shelves where I have millions of Steve's hats sitting that never get worn, and a few pairs of shoes. The shelves will be a lot more user friendly, and the sheets will be much easier to access. For now, I can place all my boots up top since I won't be wearing those again until winter. What Pinterest says your shee...

Day 18 - First Unemployment Paycheck!

Image
It was nice to see that I received my first unemployment check deposit yesterday. I was certain I probably missed the deadline to post my jobs search information after I went to the meeting last Friday, but luckily I made it! Yay! I went to the farm, which was pretty cool. Michelle was very busy, which was to be expected. It was fun to take see what goes into having a pasta sauce and pasta company. Too much work for me, personally! I don't think I would want all that responsibility. I also stopped by a cemetery on the way back home. It was pretty cool. The old cemeteries don't fascinate me as much as they used to, but I do enjoy walking around for a few minutes.  The rest of the day, I took a couple of walks and read my book. I also applied for about 4 other jobs.
