considering tomorrow is thanksgiving
and i've never really spoken up about what i'm thankful for...
i guess i can express that now.
i'm thankful for my family.
they're my heart and soul.
they're crazy, and i love it. it makes my life interesting.
and i have great stories to tell co-workers! :P
they're one reason why i can get up everyday and be happy.
i'm thankful for chris
he's my life. he's my everything. he's my chesapeake bays.
he brings out the best in me,
even when i don't believe in myself.
i'm thankful for my puppy, charlee.
she's really naughty sometimes, but her silliness and cute little face can make me smile even when i'm not in a great mood!
i'm thankful for my new job.
i have great co-workers that are so much fun.
i work in an environment that's relaxed. compared to my old job.
i'm so thankful for everyone who's touched my life, in a major way or in a small way.
i'm the kind of person who appreciates a smile.
a stranger opening a door for me. a friendly hello while walking pass someone.
a nice compliment about anything in general.
i'm just trying to say that
i'm thankful for the life i have, even though sometimes it gets hard or stressful there's always something to be grateful for. big or small.
there's always someone or something there as a sign that life isn't so bad.
tomorrow is a new day to be thankful for.

project bling #67
as everyone will soon learn...
i l♥ve everything with bling! it can be shiny or sparkling, too!
i just LOVE it all!
i also collect victoria's secret mini dogsand i decided to put two things i love together...
bling and mini dogs! here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure!
i officially finished the bling dog on 15 november 11!
in the pictures you can see
i used a toothpick as a tool to place my rhinestones on the dog.
it surprisingly was a wayyy better tool than tweezers!
i used 3mm rhinestones... they were sooo small, i almost lost my mind!
i used aleene's jewel it glue to stick those suckers on there.
works really well!
and the pictures are also in the order of my progress! come back again and check out more project blings!

far beyond a comfort zone
sorry to everyone since i haven't been around lately.
as some of you know,
i did start my new job last monday.
my full time job, that is! ha!
i've only worked for 4 days last week because of veteran's day and it still kicked my ass. :(
i got a pretty big reality check accepting this job that's for sure...
i'm still so very new that i don't know if i can say i like it or dislike it.
tomorrow is still a training day. it's at the main building where i won't even be working.
i'm anticipating see where i really work and what i really do for my job.
maybe after that i'll feel a lot less stress and anxiety and everything!
i have so many mixed emotions about this job
and it's seriously affecting me physically, emotionally, and mentally.
at my old job i was always on my feet and i was okay with that.
now i'm always sitting for 8 hours a day and i already had back problems, it's getting a lot worse now. :(
i'm very happy about being out of retail {thank goodness!}, but now i'm always stressed.
and my boyfriend and i are also trying to get used to such change
in our schedules and lives in general,
he seems to like it...
as for myself...
it isn't horrible but i don't think i love it too much... yet...
i'm also really tired after work now that i feel some of my hobbies are slipping away from me.
i knew the struggle to get somewhere in this not-so-fabulous life wasn't going to be easy.
but really?! come on! i wish i had some kind of warning or something!!
i'm so far beyond my comfort zone i
can't even sleep at night.
i hope everything will get better. i'm supposed to be going to my real workplace tuesday.
until then... i will pep talk myself to keep going.
to do this for us. for you chris. you work hard for me. it's time to do it for you.
i see a small sliver of light in the darkness. i'll keep running toward it. for you.

new beginning
i start my new job on 07 november 11.
it's a full-time job and i haven't held a full-time job before.
i feel so grown-up! :P
i forgot how it felt to be so
stressed, happy, anxious, and lots of everything!
i was very afraid to accept the job for many reasons, but i told myself that i was waiting for this chance.
and i've finally learned, after years and years, chances should be taken at every opportunity, even if i was scared to death!
it's very bittersweet considering i quit a job i worked at for 3 years and 8 months.
(one thing i have been dying to say is::
I'M SO HAPPY I'M OUT OF RETAIL!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!) :)
it feels like a weights been lifted off my shoulders.
don't get me wrong, i DID like my job.
thing is... there were moments where i loved it and moments where i swear i was going to walk out.
that job was such an emotional roller coaster.
i felt like i owed it to everyone to stay.
and that's how they made me feel.
it kind of messed with me physically and emotionally and changed who i was both in a good and bad way.
so i consider myself starting new and being so afraid, so anxious,
a not-so-bad situation after all. but maybe a new beginning to find the old me again.
the me who was nice and fun, sweet and kind... the me that i miss.
