Pa Pa Pa Poker Face
iEBKUl(RfUd!~~_12.JPG)
T just surprised me today with some party glasses for my bachelorette party next weekend. I tried to order some $10 Lady Gaga glasses as a joke, but they were back ordered. Instead I get these SWEET Oakley Frogskins and according to T I "can actually look at the sun in them."
Getting excited for pool time, girl friends and I'm sure total debauchery.
When I Grow Up
As the saying goes, "do what you love and the money will follow." I would say that I agree with this statement. If you are passionate about what you do, you will find a way to make ends meet.
So now all I need to do is find out what I would love to do! That, my friends, is the answer to the million dollar question.

That's What She Said
I think my year of teaching high school German makes me appreciate this one!!! I saw this on someone's blog and had to make it my own. I mean we all know this joke and have for years, but the younger generation is bringing it back in full force.I think the best part is how seriously the teacher took it. What do you think works better for high school kids.... Kid says something inappropriate to get attention and teacher freaks out and gives them the attention, or teacher keeps things rolling and kid realizes it wasn't that funny after all? In my experience, the hardest part is not laughing (because high schoolers are pretty freakin' funny!!)

Ughhh!
Man it's been a rough week and apparently it has shown on my face because people have told me that I look "stressed out" or "upset." Can I tell you how much I love that? It's pretty bold for someone to say that to you, and while hearing it, I am not sure if I should punch them or thank them for giving me a heads up.
The truth is, I haven't been upset, or at least that is not the word I would use. And my stress level isn't one that I think is worthy of showing on my face every day, or is it? I have had a lot of stuff going on. Work is very busy (contrary to popular belief that in a slow real estate market we all just go outside and play until the market comes back around). When your job is sales and marketing, everyone is looking at you asking "Did you get us any work" "Did you sell something?." Not to mention that any sales happening right now literally suck the life out of you. After my closing yesterday afternoon, I felt like I had been physically beaten up, which is not far from reality with that one!!
My job has me running in a million directions, and each time my boss has a new idea or tells me something is an immediate priority I just think sarcastically, "Thanks, I'll add that to my list of immediate priorities." Yes, I am thankful for my job, and yes, I actually enjoy what I do for the most part, so today I had to give myself an attitude adjustment.
I am back in the office, looking at my list, and deciding to just chip away at it and stay focused on one single task at a time. I will do the best I can, and not let my boss's suggestions and urgency messages get to me. As long as I am doing the best I can, he will not be upset with my inability to perform miracles.
In the meantime, I am going to focus on making my personal time more productive. By the way, I am still getting married in 2 and 1/2 months, and I should be spending some time planning the wedding. I don't want to feel like the one time in my life I got to plan my wedding, I was so consumed with work that I couldn't enjoy it. The funny thing is, everyone I see that tells me I look stressed or must be so busy, thinks its because I am planning my wedding! HA! If only I had the luxury of being stressed about planning my wedding. I wish selecting linen colors was my biggest concern. :)
Anyway, here is my outward recognition of my stress level, and the attempt to not take work so seriously (while still doing a good job, of course). AND to remember to tend to my personal life. It is the middle of summer after all, I should be floating the river in an inner tube, trying not to spill my beer!
Attitude adjusted.
PS. I know this post doesn't technically fit my original blog theme... but you know what...It's my blog and I can write whatever I want!! Plus, no one reads it :)
