Yesterday was the first team meeting that I have attended with this new team, I have to tell you I was very pleasantly surprised. It was a great meeting, I know I was not looking forward to the team change; no one likes change, however after the meeting yesterday I am rethinking my well thoughts. First we took a personality test, which if you know me you can guess I love those! It was fun and informative to hear what everyone got on the test, where they fell in the personality ranges. My new supervisor seemed to be genuinely interested in everyone, fully engaged, and even inquired how each individual wished to be approached when she had things to discuss with them. All in all it was a great start to being on a new team, the hours are actually conducive to physical health and well being, and the team seems very well adjusted and functional. So yay!
Today is Friday, I do believe since I do not have to be at work so early I will pick up my Starbucks treat on Fridays. No, not the sugar and fat filled ones, the skinny versions will do nicely, however, and I believe we all need a treat. So treat myself I will.
My beautiful, intelligent daughter passed an exam yesterday that will help her further her career, I had no doubt she would do it. Elizabeth Anne, you are beautiful, intelligent, and funny and I am always proud to call you my daughter!
Saturday
Today is Saturday, who is shocked by that revelation? Appears no one is. I am still not feeling all that great, maybe the doctor meant I would feel good later in the day. We shall see.
I am so very excited, it has happened later than I had hoped, but the high heel bug has bitten Elizabeth Anne. I have never been happier in my entire life, perhaps now she will not hurry me along when I start salivating over a pair of heel! Hmmmm?
I am loving Friday night television, Grimm is wonderful fun, Blue Bloods is so intense, and well, Sanctuary is downright compelling. I also recorded Dateline last night as they were talking about Michael Jackson’s last days. So very sad for his children.
I have not eaten today, just had a pot of coffee, which I love, I have discovered a new coffee, well new to me. Dunkin Donuts coffee, their turbo blend rocks! Woweee, I am buzzing like crazy, buzzing more than off of Starbucks coffee, and that is saying something. So excited I tried it, I will continue to try it. I bought their peppermint mocha flavor, I did not make that today, I will have it tomorrow and report back. I love all of the fall and winter flavors, pumpkin spice, cinnamon, peppermint mocha, and no points! because it is brewed coffee, not coffee treats, I am not sure how they get the flavoring in there, but God love them, I am happy the scientists are on top of coffee issues.
Well I must go now, Elizabeth has suggested Christmas presents for herself and they go on sale in one minute! Have to get there fast before her size is gone!
Peace out homies!
Empress Poblems
I have been sick all week and today has been the worst, I am hoping tomorrow is the best. I had to venture out as I was out of food, so there was nothing to do but get some groceries. There was a Starbucks in the grocery store, so I got my very first peppermint mocha of the season, probably my last. It was a whopping 11 points just for the drink, too much for just a drink, however, I might splurge once more during the season, I don’t know yet. I know what you are thinking, why didn’t you get the skinny version, well, I left of the whipped cream, what more do you people want from me.
I have a new twitter account, it is @EmpressProblems, I have decided to chronicle all of the issues an Empress of the universe has. You know deciding between boots or pumps when conquering the universe is a huge decision. One that cannot be taken lightly, and then it is serious boots, or girly heel boots, sparkly pumps or Anne Klein business pumps. It is exhausting being an Empress, and I am going to tell everyone about it in my new twitter feed.
I have a new addiction, it is a shameful addiction really, it is a show on ABC Family called the Lying Game, it is a total teenage show and I cannot help myself. The saving grace is that Helen Slater is in it, yes, Supergirl, so that is my redeeming fact.
I will be going to Target this weekend, all of the Christmas decorations are out and I love, love, love Christmas. I love the sights, the sounds, the smells, everything about it. I cannot wait to put a tree up and the lights and everything. Last year was a sparsely decorated year as we were moving and trying to get things organized. This year will be full blown decorations, baking and everything that goes with Christmas. I cannot wait to shop and get everything in order. I look forward the tradition of shopping with Elizabeth Anne. It is my favorite part of the holiday, one that I am so happy she and I began so many years ago. Elizabeth you are my favorite shopping partner.
