What a start to a week, and maybe another dramatic end this weekend.
So last Friday night it snowed. A lot. On Saturday morning I barely made it in to work. Once I got there after sliding all around the road in the AWD, I did payroll and went back home. Even though I was the only one in the mall when I arrived at 10am, they decided to stay open untl 3pm that day. What makes them think that people in VA will be shopping in a foot of snow is beyond me. Let’s not start on the mall and the management of this place.
So Saturday and Sunday were “Snow Days” I haven’t had one of those in years, since I was in school probably. It was refreshing and relaxing to sit on the couch all day and do nothing. I got to spend both days with the BF and his dog. I’ve never been much of a dog person, but this dog really warms my heart (and my feet) HaHa So for two days, we played on the computer, took naps, watched DVD’s, and more or less did nothing all day. It was bliss!
This snow is definitely for the birds, or should I say for the penguins. I’m over the snow when it makes a big mess like it did here in VA this past weekend. We’re even supposed to get more this coming weekend. Upwards of 20 inches. Lovely. Just what I always wanted… more snow.Moving on… I have still been doing my workouts (except when snow cancelled the Sunday workout). I’m on my second month now of personal training and I feel a bit different, nothing too dramatic though.
Also, something I do every year in the spirit of Lent is to give up something. I haven’t thought of what I’ll choose this year but I have some ideas that tie in with my training. Perhaps no fast food, or no chocolate, or no soft drinks? I should really say no to all of it for 40 days, but it may be harder said than done. (I work in a mall- believe me it’s hard) Well, I’ll think about it and make a decision soon. Any input is welcome.
Oh and to clear it up, no I’m not Catholic and no I’m not fasting or anything like that. My friend and I just give up something each year and do it together, and challenge each other. Then we party and indulge on Easter at midnight (read: lots of chocolate and fast food usually)
Remember how I started out in the first blog with 2010 being a year of change… well good news. I’m looking at everything thru a different camera lens now. I’m being positive at work, and trying to stay engaged with others so I don’t have a “bad day” and contemplate my life and what I‘m “doing here“. I’m being thankful for what I have and realizing things could be much worse and I need to stop complaining.
I also am changing my idea of networking. By this I mean open my mouth and tell people what I want to do. People don’t know if you don‘t tell them. People also don’t know you’re out there until your friends tell them about you. True networkers help each other out and my city and Twitter is a great example. My big mouth has finally paid off and I hope this is a start of something great.
That’s right I got a gig. It may be small but I’m going to try a new endeavor and see how I like it. If I like it, great, I’m going to run with it! Maybe run all the way to D.C. HaHa I will give out more details as the gig gets closer… Don’t want to give you all the juicy info just yet, got to keep you coming back each week.
Until next week...
