February 2012
friday.
Working from home, waiting for the plumber to figure out why we don’t have hot water.
Watching ‘I Didn’t Know I was Pregnant.” These people are cray.
Looking forward to a fun weekend of people in town and over our apartment and nights out.
And one week from tomorrow, I’m heading to Mardi Gras.
Happy Friday indeed!
you know what gets you absolutely nothing?
A $44 credit to J.Crew.
My options are basically another iPhone case, a necklace I could buy at Forever 21 for $5 or things that I would have to combine $50 of my own money with my $44 credit to buy.
I mean $80 for a cotton shirt?
oh hey happiness.
Lately I feel really, really happy.
If you’ve read this place for a while you know last Fall was… tough. Really tough. I put a smile on my face and got through it telling myself that it could only get better from there. And it did.
So many fun things are on the schedule. From wine nights and planning our housewarming to Mardi Gras and family visits, the calendar is quickly filling...

If your wallet is fat right now, that doesn’t mean you have to put it on a diet! Avoid big expenses today, especially anything you don’t need. Impulse buying is a big no-no right now. You are going to need more money in the coming weeks, and it would be very wise for you to stay as cash-rich as possible. If necessary, get a friend to distract you and keep you from heading out to the...

Helen: Ugh I knoooooooooooww ive been trying to buy stuff but all I keep coming home with is lipstick and eyelashes :( that's all I'm wearing
finalizing my presentation for tomorrow
Trying to make it more of a “discussion” than a “presentation” and actually, ya know, TEACH them something all while wanting to look cute and not completely screw the whole thing up.
Breathe, Chrissy, breathe.
Monday Check-In
Obsessing Over: Finding clothes to wear to Mardi Gras, in New Orleans, in February, when weather.com says it can be anywhere from 55 - 75 and cloudy/rainy to sunny. WHAT.
Working On: A monthly Facebook and Twitter analysis for one of our clients.
Thinking About: How I need to stop eating everything in sight, strap on my sneakers and hit the pavement this week.

An enhanced feeling of determination could motivate you today, Virgo. Finish the things that aren’t complete and make some plans for this evening. Don’t hesitate to take on something that feels complicated or big. Chances are you’ll be able to handle most anything and it will feel great when it’s finished. Enjoy your day by making the most of opportunity.

The perfect mix of fun and lowkey.
Tonight is for takeout and couch time with Amy and Megs.
Tomorrow is for the mall and a Speakeasy themed party in Glover Park.
And Sunday is for beer, football and snacks.

you know what pisses me off?
Refunds.
Companies are real quick to take your money.
But when you want to get it back? Oh hell no. That will take WEEKS.
If the system can take it out of my account in two seconds flat, why can’t you put it back just as quickly?
End rant.

new apartment realizations
I will never live without cable ever again. I love it. Can’t get enough. It’s so nice to just sit and watch something on a TV instead of my little iPad. And the Today show on in the morning? I feel like such an adult.
But commercials? Netflix wins there, I have no desire to stop my programs to hear about these things.
The first time our heat kicked on, since it’s an older...
