After spending 5 days in Atlanta working for someone who makes all her own decisions on how her business is going to run - it's been a bitch coming back to work. And dealing with the office politics, the BS and doing something that drains me rather than fills me up. *sigh* I'd throw myself a pity party, but I know I'm not going to be there forever. Probably only another 8.5 months if all goes well with my plans. I know it's going to fly by (especially once January comes around...hello prom season chaos!) but day to day, it's been dragging this week. I guess that's how it goes when you go on vacation - you're all hyped up for it before and during and when you come back, you're totally bummed because it's over. I never said Atlanta was vacation (who works 12 hours/day while on vacation?) but it was a trip doing something I enjoy MUCH more than my 8-4:30 job.
My motivation this week is high in thoughts but in practice, I suck at it. I have all these ideas sitting at my desk, lists made of things to accomplish once I get home - yet, I end up sitting on the couch watching seemingly endless hours of One Tree Hill on the DVR (pathetic - yes but it's entertaining and filled with drama I don't have in my life - total guilty pleasure!), pinning things on Pinterest and creeping people on FB. Seriously Sarah? Get a life. How are you going to make this move and take this leap if you can't get your chubby butt off the couch? Oh yeah, haven't been the gym in almost 2 weeks now. I have decided to forgive myself this week and get back at it next Monday...new gym goals are currently being set. In my mind. Just have to get in practice come Monday night. Need to shed another 10lbs and get toned up again. I think I need to be a bit of a hottie when I move up north. Why? Not sure. Well I might know a little bit of the why....but that's my secret! :)
Ahh - just need to get over this hump. Hopefully seeing my friend and her new baby tomorrow at the hospital, then going to dinner with girlfriends after that puts a little pep back in my step. Should probably stop by and see her again on Friday night too since I won't get to camp out too long tomorrow after work. If that doesn't do me in - maybe a trip to the Iowa State Fair this weekend will help. How can a pork chop on a stick and mini donuts not make a girl happy? Hope Pat & Mere let me tag along with them! Pretty sure I'll kick some ass if they don't!
The one thing that has made me smile and practically dance out of my chair this week. My country music. Those who know me know I listen to nothing else. Well, country music and prom market don't go hand in hand (someone did play a bit of it during down time but their idea of country was Taylor Swift and that chick makes my skin crawl - ugh!) so it had been awhile. Current new favorites - Take a Little Ride by Jason Aldean and Beer Money by Kip Moore. HUGE fan of Mr. Aldean and Mr. Moore's voice is super gravelly in this song...YUM. :)
Night all! :)
