I bid you adieu

Dear Readers,

Thank you for your sweet comments on this blog, for entertaining me with your own blogs, and for your friendship.

It is no secret that I've been a bit lax in updating lately. The time has come for me to take a break...

While it's true that I still "Olive My Life!" - my life has pulled my attention in many areas and something's gotta give.

My hope is to return to you soon, refreshed and revitalized. But for now, I bid you adieu!

xoxo,
E

I'm failing at blogging...

TGIAF

Thank God It's ALMOST Friday!

xoxo, E

Well that could have been embarassing...

I have a schoolgirl crush on the interim business school dean... let's call him "Steve"...

and I almost made a HUGE faux pas today.



Whew, thank goodness I proofread my emails!!

xoxo, E

Or perhaps I should say:

Sincerely, Elizabeth
Inauguration Manager

It's been an eventful weekend - to say the least - as you will see below

Apologies!
Back to work tomorrow!

TGIF!

The three day weekend is almost here!!!
So excited for it!
Here's this week's update!

Morning Person vs. Night Owl

I have always, ALWAYS been a night owl. It would not have been surprising during the summer months or breaks from school for me to be heading to bed as Mommacita was getting up (you also need to understand that she wakes up anywhere between 2:30am and 5am consistently).

**

While in college, I've been forced to become more of a morning person. If I take a shower in the morning, I try to get up at least 2 hours before I need to head out the door. Yes, I realize that's a ridiculous amount of time, but it allows me to take my time getting ready and relax while eating my breakfast, etc.

**

I don't do that anymore. I took a shower last night, got out of bed this morning at 7:10 and was out the door at 7:45.

35 minutes - not bad if I do say so myself.

**

I never thought working 8-5 would be so exhausting... but I can barely function when I get off work. I feel like such a boring person, but I soak up my weekends for all they are worth -- and this upcoming one is a 3 day weekend!! Hooray!!

**

I've had a hard time adjusting to this big girl world - a harder time than I have told most people - the only ones that really know are the ones that have seen me break down in tears. Well, I guess you know now too.

**

I've decided that today is going to be different - I'm going to be positive, smile more, drink more ddp (if it helps me stay perkier), and enjoy the night out with the boy for the Carol Hefner for State Senate watch party! GO CAROL!!

**

My role model for this new attitude on life is my sweet BLC who always makes me smile (and a bit envious) with her tweets about her jam-packed social calendar and all the love in her life!

**

I'm a very blessed girl and it's time I start acting like it!

Here we go! xoxo, E

Lunch break update

I hate a post without pictures - so here's my lunch break update!

failed promised

Well, I failed on my promise to blog this weekend -- I soaked up every second of the free time this weekend. I promise to try and do better!

This is going to be a super short post since I hit snooze for an HOUR this morning, but I have to toot my own horn because I stayed $40 under my budget for last week! Toot toot! =)

Happy Monday to you!

xoxo, E

TGIF!

It's the last day of the work week! I never thought I'd be so tired - so needless to say, I'm grateful for the weekend! I'm hoping to do some actual blogging this weekend, rather than just posting my project 365 pictures!

Enjoy days 20 & 21!

xoxo, E

Big Girl Day 2

Who knew this job stuff was so tiring?! I literally only have the energy to post the following pic. xoxo, E

Survived the 1st day!

I survived the first day quite splendidly but I'm exhausted now! Goodnight world!

My last day of Unemployment

We pulled into OKC around 1pm and got straight to moving all my stuff -- of which I am now certain I have WAY too much.

I digress.

M and B were the mules that carried my things from one apartment to another... we couldn't have done it without them. After I stopped wigging out (clutter stresses me out), I was finally able to get everything in order and feeling a bit more like home. Now I just need to put my pictures up on the wall.



After, we went to The Wedge with B and M as a thank you dinner. Yummmm!!

Enjoyed my last day of unemployment! Big girl job starts tomorrow at 8am!

January 1, 2011 (that's the first time I've written it!)

So soon!!!

It's been a wonderful day of "day after Christmas" shopping with Mommacita!

We woke up to this:



The boy will be here in about 12 hours!!! I'm so excited I can barely stand it!

xoxo, E

Happy birthday Jesus!!

Merry, Merry Christmas!!

What a wonderful morning of yummy food and opening presents!! Just in case you were worried (like I was) Mommacita and Papas loved their gifts! And I even surprised them too!! =) Yaya!!



Off to enjoy more family time!
xoxo, E

Santa is still watching!!

I've been extra good all day long -- Santa is still watching! Currently, he is headed towards the Falkland Islands!! I need to be fast asleep for him to make his stop down our chimney so I'm off to bed soon!

I actually think I'm more excited for my parents to open their gifts from me than I am to open my own -- although, I can't wait to wear the new clothes that are waiting for me under the tree!!



Merry Christmas to you and yours!!

xoxo, E

Merry Christmas Eve eve!

What a wonderful day of playing Santa for friends! We even saw Santa and Mrs. Clause riding around Myers Park on a vespa! It's true!!

It's almost Christmas Eve!!

xoxo, E

Almost made it a week!

I've almost made it a week of project 365!

(only 51 more to go, lol)

Had a lot of fun today with Momma running errands and doing our pre-shop for the Crate and Barrel day after Christmas sale! (The loot we get will have to be a post separate from project 365 because it'll take more than 2-3 pictures =) lol)
It's one of my favorite traditions with Mommacita!

In addition to Mr. Santa above, I also got this guy:

Thanks to the OIA crew for the Visa giftcard that made it all possible!!

I love sitting here blog surfing while looking at my beautifully whimsical tree in my room... ok, back to it! g'night!
xoxo, E
