It's all part of a days work. I've learned very quickly to commute, balance my day, manage home life and still wake up on time- and look good doing it.
A carpool or commuter line would be nice but I enjoy my new morning talk shows on the radio and the sights and sounds of my 30 minute drive.
My office doesn't have much personality yet and I'm hoping to hang something on my kakhi colored walls soon. It's only/already been 7 weeks?
My absolute musts?
-Good moisturizing hand lotion for all the work I do with paper: it helps prevent paper cuts.
-My Cubs mug: a little flair
-My RSVP Pentel pens: can't live without them
-My stash of healthy snacks in my drawer- Terra Chips, Sun Chips, Carmel Rice Cakes and dried fruit. Always a pick me up with texture.
-My music on my computer: I never thought I'd get tired of all 10GB of my tunes... I must listen to it a lot!
Stretching out a bit now and then snaps me out of the computer induced trance and turning my chair around to admire the view of the football stadium out my window does the trick.
It's fall and it's a surprise every time I walk out the door. Warm, cold, rainy, windy? Anything sounds exciting.
It's 4:39pm and it's about time to wrap up my papers and head out for a little bit of excersise!
Cheers!

Utter Dissapointment
a cross over blog from http://www.xanga.com/CharmedSoul
I kind of got a slap in the face this morning after developing a logo for a non-profit group/event that I spent a ton (literally) of time on. Their committee decided to develop a logo internally and ditch the 2 months of work that I'd put into it. I bent over backwards to communicate with them and consult them and they now have a p.o.s. logo that their committee likes. Argggggg. Sometimes donating time is worth it. Other times, you really, -wait, if I can't say anything nice.......
Encouraging words would be appreciated. I'm pretty miffed.
I also have to take two seconds back and appreciate what I do have going for me.
With a friend in the hospital and another friend grieving the loss of a younger sibling, my perspective should be much more accommodating.
I had a fantastic weekend, got some great photos with Todd to celebrate our engagement and loved the weater (especially with a Purdue WIN over Iowa!) His recital Friday was great and all in all I had an awesome weekend. I also have plenty to look forward to- a lunch and talk this week about the importance of brand identities and then alumni band with my friends. I'm walking pretty normal too! In the mood for a little piece of cactus action already.
This working girl is having trouble switching gears without getting the clutch caught a bit... nobody likes that sound.
Back to the grind-
Cait
