Regrouping today. Started with a radical hairstyle change. What do you think? Hit the grocery store because the pantry was bare and then rounded out the afternoon with a little shoe shopping - scored 2 pair of Sketchers. Sweet! Tonight starts with honey teriayaki glazed salmon, baked potato and fresh green beans for dinner. (I have been eating on the run way too much lately.) Finally, it's @ home Spa Night > mani, pedi & facial. If there's time, there might be some reshuffling of the closet to tuck away the summer clothes...
Back at it tomorrow.

Wow. Just reading my last post. Boy was I ever in a negative place. No worries; things are better now. Why? Because Coffeemate Peppermint Mocha Creamer is back! Sheer bliss in a cup!
Kind of excited about this weeks' events. Work has been going good - lots of recoveries to boost my ROI. I helped my friend get a job at Hobby Lobby and am hoping that this helps him turn a corner. Day off today, the first in 15 days. What to do? First up is a haircut. I'm going to update my 'do for the holidays; something funky and fun. Then, maybe a little shopping... Finally, I'm planning on an at-home facial tonight. Can't afford the salon version, but I'm hoping to find some products today that will get the job done...
Thanks for stopping by!

Not much going on these days except for work. Getting ready for inventory at Lowe's; three weeks to go and I'll be glad when it's over. Working at home today. Big pot of chili on the stove...
I've been doing a lot of thinking lately. Life is funny. You think you have it all figured out. You think you know who you can trust to have your back. Then, instead of having your back, they stab you in the back. Kindness, generousity and loyalty are repaid with rudeness, indifference and betrayal. I have come to the conclusion that I need to pick and choose my friends more carefully in the future.
'Til next time...

Wow! Another two weeks of silence. My bad... Continued busy-ness with both jobs.
Finished my 21-straight-day stretch last Saturday morning - with 36 free hours ahead of me it was hard to decide what to do first. Obviously, first on the agenda was to come home and watch the Hawkeye game. A friend was here to hang out and before you know it, we had decided to go up to La Crosse, WI for Octoberfest. It was a really fun night, followed by a long haul back home at 4:00 am. I made up for everything by camping out on the couch for the entire day on Sunday. Monday thru yesterday was pretty much work, work, work...
After work last night Bailey and I went over to my friend Lori's house to watch the Hawkeye game. It was a nail-biter, but the Hawkeyes beat Michigan. Bailey had a great time playing with Lori & Ryan's kids and exploring their house. By the time we came home, we were both ready to drop, which we pretty much did.
Today is a day off from both jobs. Sitting here drinking some coffee and waiting for the laundry to dry. No craftiness on tap for the day - too tired, I guess. I did repaint a picture frame for the bedroom. I've been inspired to update some of my home decor'. (I am loving my job in the framing department at Hobby Lobby and wished that it paid enough for me to just quit Lowe's...)
Well, that's about it. Thanks for stopping by!
