Morning Rush

The alarm clock didn't go off this morning. I woke up, in a panic, at 6:20AM. Jumping out of bed I ran into the bathroom and started brushing my teeth. I couldn't believe I slept through the alarm. My stomach has the weird feeling that only happens when you oversleep. While standing in my closet deciding what to wear I realize...it is my DAY OFF!

As I get back into bed my husband is laughing and says "I wondered how long it would take you to remember you don't work today." I just put my cold feet on him and went back to sleep.

New Year Resolution

My New Year resolution for this year was to stop speaking in absolutes. I made it about 18 days (I got a late start). I was doing okay with it, maybe a few "nevers" thrown in, but I was handling it. Then today I had technical difficulties. The third time I was on the phone with IT my sentences were starting with "This ALWAYS..." and "This NEVER..."

So should I start over. Is it still a good resolution if you totally go off the wagon in person, in voicemail, and in email?

New Shoes

I could get new shoes for every special occasion. A cliché, I know, but there is something about new shoes that puts a spring in my step. My husband took me new shoe shopping for my birthday last week. He also took me to see the Da Vinci exhibit at the High, but new shoes outrank the exhibit. Shallow, but that is who I am.

I have worn my new shoes three times in the past week. I am planning my wardrobe around them. The shoes are black Mary Jane pumps and I am dressing in skirts and cardigans. This has made me wonder, do shoes make you who you are? Are there dictator shoes? If Hitler had worn Birkenstocks would he still have wanted to take over the world?

Snowed In!

Snow in Georgia! We wait years for this much snow. Wednesday we started checking weather.com to see when the snow would arrive. Thursday we didn't get much work done because we were running to the hallway window to see if it had started to snow. All day sending texts and emails to everyone to check the weather.

Friday morning my husband woke me up saying "Your snow is here, go look out the window". Beautiful.
