Still here....

So....work is busy (I moved into a larger office, yeah!), mom was in town last week, and I've just not had much to say lately.

I'm just trucking through life right now. Nothing really fun to mention, just living.

The past two weekends I've gotten to spend some wonderful time with my love and lovebug and Shelly and Rob. It's always fun when they're around.
Last Saturday night Shelly and Rob and I went to Electric Cowboy to celebrate their brother-in-law's birthday.

Yes, we did do a shot. It was gross!

OK-1) I rarely go out. Even in college it was rare to see me go out. It's just not really my thing and 2) Woah, Electric Cowboys has some interesting people...can you say Cougers. HA, Shelly and I had fun just people watching. It was an crazy and interesting night to say the least.

January is just a blah month. Nothing really special. It's been unseasonably warm, like mid 60's everyday. I'm loving that. But, tomorrow is February, and it seems like the year is already steam rolling by.

Hope everyone had a great weekend. Work is keeping me busy busy, but luckily that makes the weeks go by so much faster :)

Miscellanous Monday

Happy Monday. It's rainy and foggy here, but surprisingly supposed to be in the high 60s today. Quite a change from exactly a year ago when Atlanta shut down for a week due to extreme ice and snow. As much as I love snow, I do not want to repeat last year.

This is the front yard of the house I was living in during the ice storm

This was my driveway. It hit Sunday night and this is Thursday morning. It finally melted enough that afternoon for me to back my car down and get to work that Friday.

Anyway...here's some randomness for you!

• The main paralegal on my team is on a much needed vacation this week, therefore I am left in charge. I'm excited and nervous. I hope to show my firm that I can do this when it is given to me. I have a feeling it's going to be a long busy week!
• I had lots of ideas for things to do around the house this weekend to better my home....what did I do? Nothing! Well, I did break down the billions of boxes that were piled in my garage. Besides that, nada!
• I got back to church on Sunday and seriously felt like my battery had been recharged. It was an awesome sermon and can't wait for next Sunday
• I'm ready to buy a treadmill, but have to wait until next month when I have more moula

That's about all I've got. I really did nothing this weekend except be lazy and paint my nails. Hope everyone has a wonderful Monday!

New Year...New ME!!!!

Happy 2012! Hope everyone had a fun and safe New Year's. I babysat my loves and actually fell asleep before the new year (I'm so exciting sometimes)

Me and my Lovebug!

I'm really excited about this new year. I can just feel that it is going to be amazing! I look back at 2011 and can't believe how fast it has flown by. Seems like yesterday I was stuck at my parent's house in a horrific ice storm that shut down Atlanta for a week and to think that was almost a year ago!

Anywhoo! Here are my "plans" for the new year. God's probably laughing, but I'm going to try!

• Lose the rest of this weight. I've been lazy these past few months and with Christmas haven't tried at all, but I am determined to be a different person come this summer.
• Grow a backbone! I love being who I am. I love that I will help any friend in an instant and that people can depend on me, but something has to give. I stretch myself way too thin and need to be selfish. I have a feeling this may not go over very well with some, but I'm done. I've got to do this for myself.
• Work on my relationship with God. I found a great church that I was attending, but with the holidays, I slacked off. I can feel the emptyness from those weeks I didn't go. I really enjoyed going and am wanting to make this one of the priorities of my life.
• Find the inner peace that I feel like I've been missing. I've got to live my life for myself and no one else. I've got to stop thinking about what ifs and the future and live the present now! Life is short, I really need to enjoy every minute.

The theme to 2012 is ME! It is rare that I am selfish or am thinking about what is best for me, but I want this year to focus on me and make myself a better person. Some may see me as selfish and if so, then that is their problem. I haven't been happy lately with who I am in some departments and I want to change this.

So.....here's to the New Year. I hope it's the best yet!
