...what I want to do with the rest of my life...

Start a charity, be a mom, keep working up the corporate ladder, start my own company.  

These are the things that pop into my head when I ask myself that question.  

What I want to do with the rest of my life?

I am a goal setter. I don't do well without a goal in sight. I start feeling lost and get demotivated. 

Currently I am feeling demotivated at my office. There's a lot of change going on and everyone, instead of working together and getting through it, is bitching about it! 

Don't get me wrong I suck at change too but, I am a happy person a majority of the time. To be around constant negativity is very hard for me to take and not get dragged down right there with the rest of them. 

I have been struggling this week with what to post and my work-life negativity is why. My addictions make me happy and this week I haven't been very happy. 

So I have decided to focus and set a goal that will make me happy! 

GOAL: figure out / get some idea of what and how I want to spend the next five years working toward.  

...LOVE OF MY LIFE!...

Happy Birthday to my greatest addiction and Love of My Life!

You are my everything!

Today is for you and you alone!

May you always be blessed!

I love you!

...unsubscribing from email lists...

I have decided to de-clutter my inbox!

I don't know about you but when a $5,000 shopping spree is on the line I give EVERY email address I possibly can!!! 



What does this results in..? 

Getting six promo emails from the same online retailer at the same time.  And I must admit I rarely read even one of those six emails.  







So my obsession as of late has been unsubscribing to these email distro lists... hasn't been easy, there are a lot! And just when I think I am ready to say goodbye forever (or at least until another contest is posted!) They draw be back in with a "We haven't seem you in a while! Here's a coupon you have no chance of resisting!"

Well, I will keep trying...and probably keep shopping, they get me every time!

...bunny..

Enjoying some family time, some PA clean air, and of course some chocolate bunnies!

Happy Easter!

...heading home...

All I can think about right now is the week ending and heading home for the holiday. 

It feels like everyone (and my mother) has off today. I shouldn't complain, my office is closing at 3pm, but I will!! 

I am looking forward to clear PA sky's, shopping with my mom (at Anthropologie & Target), and hanging out with my niece and nephew.

To get in the mood below are some of my dream home pic.s! (pretty much anything that comes out of the Pottery Barn Catalog!)

Anything warm and sunny!

Clean work space.

I LOVE organizing!

I love the idea of yellow in the Dining Room, very inviting!

I don't do random. 

A calm bedroom makes for calm sleep. 

My BF's DREAM!

Need a great space outside to get fresh air!

A letter that my BF and I share, we would definitely have this up somewhere!

...The Smell of Spring!...

It's finally warming up and by warming up I mean high 40 degrees. But I will take it!!! 

Not to be confused with the ability to tell if it's currently raining (Mean Girls reference)... I can smell when it's going to snow and when Spring is right around the corner!  Both equally awesome things. 

I love the snow. I grew up in PA, it was a state requirement. But after a long, cold, and snowy winter there is nothing more invigorating than the smell of Spring! 

I hope you are able to get out and enjoy this slightly warmer-than-yesterday weather! And hopefully it will stay sunny for Easter this weekend! 

Happy Smelling! 

A few shots from the cab on the way to work this morning!

... Hair cut...

Much needed! My hair is getting to the point of getting stuck in doors, chairs, you name it! 

So I am thinking of just under my shoulders on length and keeping it all one length... I can never pull off layers as badly as I wish I could.  

I WISH!!! 

Layers are right up there with curly and wavy... Never gonna happen! Straight Hair problems! 

So here are some of my inspirations. 

…couch to 5K...

IM GONNA DO IT! And you are all going to be witnesses to it!!! 

I CAN DO IT!!!!!

I have tried before and not made it past the third week... But my BF is threatening to take away the gym, aka my false sense of fitness! 

So I have to get back on the horse... Or the treadmill in this case... And get through it!! 

It's only 9 weeks and really, what's 9 weeks in a lifetime anyway?! A blink of an eye! So here I go! I'll keep you posted! 

...L.L. Bean...

OK, let me explain!

So in my Office, we are kind of required to carry a very specific brand of hand bags and no, I don't work for L.L. Bean.  Anyway... in probably some form of teenage rebellion everyone in my office carries a "Second Bag" (and yes we really call them that!)  Sometimes the bags are not even filled, could just have one or two little things.  The purpose: to carry some other brand that is not that "very specific brand" and show our individual personality and style.

Ready for the ironic part in a complete effort to be "different" from each other, we have all started to carry, buy for each other, and monogram the exact same bag!

I was not ready to fit in yet.  I really did want to be different!!! So I carry a gorgeous LV Bag (C/O my amazing BF!)

But then I saw the Camo version!  And I had to have it!!!!!

I am not a Camo girl, at all!  But for some reason this was just different enough that I wanted it!  So I went on line and to my very impatient personality's demise, it was on back order until the end of May.  And as I am sure you can imagine, I expressed my disappointment at the Office and only a day later (still have no clue how she did it!) my boss gave me the Camo Large L.L. Bean Bag!

I love it! It is light weight and roomy enough for everything I could ever want to carry!  And in a cool off-trend kind of way it totally works with my Alma!

...new computer

...need one! And I don't want to use the PC that my BF plays his Rome Total War Game on! (Yes, I'm very sad that I even know the name of that game!) I have an iPad and an iPhone and a MacBook from college. But as the title states I LOVE presents!!! 

So i got one!!!!!

...March...

I've been feeling pretty low and trying to figure out how to pull myself up... Well the temperature is flirting with 40 degrees, and yes for someone in the northeast, this is exciting news!

The sun has come out and I'm feeling better!

I used to not care for March, it was just one more cold month. But now I have come to appreciate it! It's like a new day has started and it a sunny one!

...Cartier LOVE bracelet...

There is probably nothing I have wanted more for longer than a Cartier LOVE bracelet..(except maybe a puppy and as my BF likes to say, I already have one of those.... Him!)

The meaning behind this bracelet is why I feel in LOVE with it! The fact that someone one day would want to lock their LOVE to me was something I could only dream about, at 12 years old when I first found out about this exquisite piece of jewelry.

Having now found the LOVE of my life , he has the duty (whether he chooses to accept it, right now, or not) to fulfill my 14 year dream of being the owner on one of this coveted bracelets!

...winter...

... Is it over yet?!

All I have been doing is baking cakes! Enough already!

I want sun and smiles! I feel like everyone hates everything!!! I need some more happy people in my life!

Well off to Mexico on Thursday! At least there is sun there! (Maybe not the happy people...)

...needing to hear "IT"...

Whatever "IT" maybe we all need to hear it!

I don't care if you are the most secure person in the world, even you need to hear the things you need to hear to get through your day!


I love you, you're wanted, you look nice today.  All things that the average person needs to hear everyday or so... well i am one of the lucky people, i get to hear it everyday!


my boyfriend is nothing but giving but all i have been hearing lately from everyone else is that they are not hearing "IT"  it makes me sad but also want to help!  Of course i can't help cause it is something that you have to find on your own or make it on your own, but i must say that when friends come and say "IT" wasn't there that make me sad but a little happy all at the same time to think that i found "IT."

So please if you haven't found "IT" go out there and look cause it is out there for you too!

...Nikon 1, J1....

Ok...so I just got the white Nikon 1 J1. And I love it!!!!!
It does so much!
Multiple photos with one touch, video and photos at the same time (awesome!) and it has a great retro look!!!
