Don't mind me...
Just hiding in my corner at work so no one notices my big puffy eyes or the ugly circles under them. Thanks for nothing, Nicholas Sparks, really.
I stayed up till 2am finishing “The Best of Me”, and there was a whole lot of ugly crying. I should have known when I picked up the book to begin with. Or when I cried numerous times in the first three chapters. Or when I figured out the...

the highlight of my day?
that moment when, after an interminably long day of spreadsheets and consolidations, holy shit the financial statements balance *and* tie out, thank GOD.
disclaimer: fully aware of the bore that is accounting to normal society. but i needed this to happen today.

Monday morning ramblings...
My lunch break today will absolutely be spent napping in my car. No thanks to the noisy, needy chocolate lab (ahem, Buster) who kept me up.
On a more positive note, Devin and Cameron are in the hospital for Higgy’s arrival! I can’t wait to meet their baby girl and find out her name! Hoping all goes well for them, and mom & baby are both healthy when all is said and done.
This...

– This is the quote from Benjamin Button that had me ugly-crying earlier tonight.
Oh don't mind me...
Just crying my eyes out watching The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The quote I love and posted a while back is passionate, uplifting and heartbreaking all at the same time in this context.

I love my Supper Club girls and my Grey’s Thursdays with Kerry. This is the perfect description of both.

I may have shed a tear...
or a few. I chose not to get too emotionally invested in the US Women’s efforts to win the World Cup until today. It seemed a little un-American to not even watch the end of the game though, so I turned on the tv right before regulation ended. Immediately, I was glued to the game, wishing and hoping with all my might that our girls could come out on top. How excruciating to see them get...
It never fails.
I leave my house and make the 7 minute drive to Target, memorizing my short list of things to get along the way. I only need a few things, of course, so I forgo the buggy and grab a basket. I toss in a dress (not on the list, but today was payday so…), and get the toiletries on my list. Then I make my requisite circle through the food section. Fresh fruit and some sides for a cookout, not on...

With both Adam Levine and Javier Colon. Have mercy on my soul and my fluttering little heart. So dear and adorable and so unbelievably talented.

let it be known
that i will not cannot function in the company of others before 8am. not happening.
6:30am - sister sends me a picture message of my sweet niece. i at least look at it before groaning and rolling back over, silently cursing my twin. respond at 9am.
7:00am - the neighbor’s kid is playing basketball, and all i can hear is him dribbling the ball over and over and over. WHY ARE YOU NOT...

in an effort to be optimistic after receiving disappointing news today, i am reminding myself, yet again, that it all works out the way it should. i may not have gotten what i wanted today, but it’s another push in the right direction. so i have to work harder, get a little further out of my comfort zone, face some situations that i’ve avoided for long enough.
it’s long...
disappointment
when plan a doesn’t work out, i’m immediately discouraged.
no time to wallow in self-pity. plan b is to buck up, and be a big girl about it. deep breath.

it’s time to clean house. there’s something to be said for starting the new year on the right foot. i don’t quite feel like i’ve done so thus far. sure, it’s clichéd. but i’ll take any motivation i can get, especially when i barely catch any sunlight each day, and the ground is covered in ice and snow (a somewhat rarity down here!).

2011? really?
it’s high time i did some internal spring cleaning. i feel like a ticking time bomb with a mess of emotions, ideas, fears and hopes all tangled together, fighting to reach the surface.
i have so many unfinished journals, spanning my life as long as i’ve been able to write. i write in spurts. some weeks i will write pages upon pages. then months or even years may go by without a...

domination
just took the lead in my fantasy league this week! i’m technically tied for first based on my record (7-2), but i have a higher “points for” total AND a better division record (4-0 bitches). this makes me unreasonably happy.
also - the new york football giants are 6-2. ahhh, i love football season.
changes
BFF officially accepted a new position, and next friday is his last day sharing an office with me. i am all kinds of emotional about this.
i am sad. knowing we will likely never work together again is kind of hard to imagine. i will miss his presence, just over my shoulder. i will miss our lunch dates and how ridiculously difficult it is for us to choose a place after all this time. i...

that panthers game i mentioned? got to enjoy it with one of my favorite, favorite roanoke friends - miss erin!
and this was our view:
wanna meet another favorite, favorite roanoke friend, who just so happens to me by work bff AND my real life bff? adam! (excuse the awkward face - i was trying not to have 6 chins and laughing at the same time. didn’t work out so well.)

i’m having a hard time adjusting to “being normal.” i’ve spent so much time talking about it and anticipating the freedom from studying, i think i built it up too much. don’t get me wrong - i’m having the time of my life! never have i been more excited for a panthers game or a random thursday night of trivia at the bar or a big birthday dinner celebration....
i feel frozen - paralyzed by a fear of change. the problem here is that changes need to be made. and it’s up to me and me alone to make them happen. i know what i need to do, but i can’t bring myself to do it. i’m putting it all off. it’s similar to how i felt with the cpa exam. it’s almost like, what if i do pass? how will my life change? i’m so scared...
