Blessings, affirmations, grace, and reflection

Just found out that Lucille Roberts is offering a $5 a month, no commitment, no contract plan. They are speaking my language! Woo hoo! Going to check out their Yelp reviews now.

The first week of vacation was wonderful! Warm and sunny days. This week has been chilly, but apparently not cool enough to turn to the heat on in the building. So lately I've been looking at these beauty sites that talk about the new trends with fingernails. I have never been big on doing my own nails. My mother had these long luxurious fingers that she manicured and painted herself. I have these short stubby fingers that I don't like to do myself. When I worked in offices I would get my nails done in a nail shop about every 2 weeks. I had let that slip since I have been working this job and my nails have been downright embarrassing at times. I've started going to the nail shop again, but I also need to be able to care for my fingers at home between visits. Target had Essie Nail polishes on sale last week and I picked up two colors and a top coat. My polishes have actually been lasting a while. The time before last I had a pretty pink and this time I got OPI bubble bat...

Wait, now that I think of it I didn't see any grass. I had a nice day today. I took a walk down a neighborhood street with a girl who was doing a project for school. Not sure if what I had to contribute was useful, but hey. It was too nice a day to go back home, so I got my nails done.  A pretty pink  color to match the sweater I was wearing. I'm going to wait until next week to get my pedicure. I need to also get my eyebrows threaded and get an hour long massage. My muscles are so tense. I have to start taking better care of myself. I also need to get a gym membership going again. This is the year I get myself together. I have my passport book and card and I am ready to go right now! I went to Brooklyn after I got a manicure and had the most wonderful sangria I've ever had at a place literally around the corner from my old apartment in Brooklyn, called Outpost . They put ginger in that baby! It was delicious! They also had a homestyle mac and cheese and a nice selection...

Just saw some unflattering pictures of myself. Guess where I will be for my vacation? In the gym! Seriously, this is ridiculous! File under reality check!

Only a couple of days left before I start my spring vacation! Woo hoo! No plans to travel anywhere. I think I am going to take advantage of my passport and go some where I can earn a stamp in the summer. People have been pissing me off. I am in need of some "me" time. Spring is my season.

Wow! What a day, what a day. I feel like I was on the run from the time I walked out my front door until I got home. I wanted to attend an event after work, but the day kicked my butt. Hard. My "down time" was completely highjacked by a meeting that took an hour. The afternoon was non-stop. Now, I have another conference call tonight. Just like last night, when I get off this call I am going right sleep. Light outside or not. I'm whipped. G'Night.

Good Morning! What a refreshing sleep I had last night. I went to sleep around 8 PM and awoke at 5 AM. I don't consider myself a morning person, but I love how much I can get done when I wake up early. Not that I did anything special, but just having a few moments to myself before starting my very busy day is enough. I have on some Coltrane and was able to actually sit down and drink my coffee rather than stealing sips as I walk toward the door. I was able to commune with God as I listened to gospel on the radio and I read a morning devotional. I am refreshed, revitalized and ready to start my day. If I could do this every day I would definitely be up for going to gym every morning. As a matter of fact, I think I am going to pay my get caught up on my gym membership and start using it. They recently opened a second facility near the other and I understand that as long as you use it before the peak hours of 6-8 it isn't so bad. While I doubt I would go back out after 8PM, I co...
