Timing is everything

Timing really is everything isn't it? Take today I'm having a stressful work day and just want a french vanilla coffee from Dunkin Donuts. I get to the drive thru and place my order and the girl tells me "we just ran out." How do you run out of coffee?? I did end up with Hazelnut and it was very yummy and gave me the extra jolt of caffeine I needed.

Next I call to see if I can get a manicure and the receptionist tells me "Oh if you would have only called a few minutes earlier she is all booked up" ugh. Then to end my day I get home from work change into my workout clothes go to the gym have a awesome workout with my trainer (great 30th bday gift to myself will post about that another time). Get home and get sucker punched with my sweet adorable neighbor little girl selling me Girl Scout cookies. She reminds me of myself going straight for the sell but at the same time pulling at my heartstrings by telling me how she can sell early to me since I'm a family friend and actual selling doesn't begin until Saturday (she gives me her big smile and I just love her blond pigtails). What she doesn't know is that she already has me because I can never say no to any child to has the tenacity to go out and sell something. I feel if you are financially able to buy from someones child then in the future someone will do the same for your child, hubby just says I'm a tenderheart. She had Perfect timing tonight knocking on my door when I'm feeling great after sweating and burning calories for a solid hour. Of course I need a couple boxes of Thin mints and hubby needs some Tagalongs.

My Motto for 2009

One of my morning routines is to have the Today Show on in the background as I'm getting ready for work. A couple mornings ago they began talking about the dreaded topic of new years resolutions and how so many people fail on their resolutions and how instead we should make a motto for the year...a motto to live 2009 by.

I personally never make New Year's resolutions, they are just not my thing. I try to exercise, be healthier, spend less on clothes, shoes, handbags that I really don't need but want, and lastly the most important be a better wife, daughter, sister, and friend every year. But I really got thinking about living by a motto for a whole year, something I really could stick to and not let fall by the wayside.


My motto is to live a year without any Woulda-Coulda-Shouldas.

To be honest I am a guilty person always thinking I didn't do enough whether for someone/something, personal/professionally, always thinking to myself maybe if I just would have given a little more....In thinking back I find myself replaying conversations and how I always think if I would have/could have/should have done something other than what I did. In the end everything always turns out the way it is supposed to or at least that's what I believe "everything happens for a reason." So whenever a road block gets in my way this year I will simply think of this new motto of mine and will get going!

I actually already have something in the works to make quite a life change.... :)

Hair dryers

I have very long hair that is thick, and fairly straight. All my friends keep telling me that I should try one of the new expensive hairdryers on the market. I have a dryer I purchase from Target a couple years ago and it still works but it does take me 4o plus minutes to dry my hair. Everyone has a suggestion on what is the best hair dryer on the market. Chi, T3, FHI, BaByliss and I know there are so many more. So I'm reaching out to see if anyone has some suggestions or love the hair dryer that they use and why....
