Birthday Blues

Every year I get the birthday blues.  Not sure what causes it really but it affects me in ways that make me not want to go to work, do anything, make any decisions, etc.  However, I am thankful to have so many wonderful people in my life that do things like surprise me with onion glasses and getting me yoga lessons so I can get my health and wellness back together.  Here's to renting a car and being able to take a child to D&B's though I have no idea why I would do such a thing.....

Boots and Gloves

I was a fool to wait until after Christmas to get my Hunter Wellies...they were out of stock in my size and color not to be restocked until next season everywhere I looked.  Until lo and behold I found an obscure supply through Restoration Hardware.  Thank god for attentive coworkers that send me random links about these things I crave.  So my boots came in an excessively large box today and I have been stomping around in them ever since.  If you ever need someone to clomp through rain, animal poo, animal oils and fats, snow, etc. then I am your girl!

Another fun surprise that came in the mail today were my gloves!  As many of you may know I am a sensitive hoe, but I also have sensitive skin with sensitive problems.  I have been lucky enough to get out of dishwashing duties by feigning issues with my dry, damaged hands.  However, I want to be a good girlfriend and do my part of the cleaning so I decided to buck up and get some gloves, ones that won't make my hands smell like condoms of course!  So I found a nifty pair that are latex free, machine washable, AND with a cotton liner to absorb sweat to reduce skin irritation.  Here's to a new year, new cleaning habits, and good skin!

Hoppy New Year!

Starting off the new year strong by closing my stupid WAMU/Chase Savings account due to their pithy excuse for an APR and signing up for Mint.com to get all my monies in one place.


Every new year is a chance to start off fresh...right?  So here are my resolutions for this year:

1. Be Happy
2. Save at least $500 each month
3. Bring lunch to work at least twice a week 
4. Save up so I can go back to yoga at least once a week
5. Finally take the GMAT

I want to be as happy as a clam this year :)
