* Pretty Little Endeavors

This was the first thing my boss said to me this morning. Instantly, I assumed she saw it. However, she just thought that I'm someone who should have a blog for fitness or beauty. This got me thinking about how much I've been slacking at something that used to make me so happy.  I miss blogging. I miss connecting with so many amazing people. I have a lot of things I'd love to do with this blog, I just need to devote some time to finishing up posts and reviews and start getting my foot back in the door in this lovely world of blogging.  I know I've been saying this for a while now, but I'm ready to make the effort to get back here. For all of you who have stuck around, thank you!  It's time for me to start doing the things that I enjoy and things that make me happy. I've been proud of how much I've been working on top of school, but I can't forget to be a little selfish every now and then.  I hope to be back blogging within the next few days!

This song has been stuck in my head all day long. It's making me extremely excited for my full TWO days off on Sunday & Monday. This is a pretty big deal since I've been doing 60 hour work weeks and school full time. At 9pm on Saturday I'll be done with my 36 day steak of not having a single day off. Do I deserve some Fireball and craft beer? ABSOLUTELY. Bring it on. I honestly can not handle this insane schedule. It's even harder because I met an incredible human who was the easiest person to talk to and someone who made me feel so positive. However, my schedule made me extremely unavailable and made me seem very distant.  No need to jump to conclusions. I'm not looking for someone to date, but I wouldn't mind having time to spend with this person. I blew it. Well, I guess my schedule blew it. But, long story short.. I have two days to pretend that I don't have responsibilities and such a hectic life.  I have many blog drafts that never get fin

I'm a little sad today that I wasn't able to get the day off work to be able to take my mom to the Tigers game. Especially since I've been working 60 hour weeks along with going to school full-time and I haven't had a day off since Easter. However, it makes me happy to know that my mom will be having a wonderful time at the game with my dad.  My mom is an absolutely amazing person and an incredible mom. I wouldn't be who I am without her. She gave me the best life and has supported me through every struggle along the way. I'm so grateful for her. I'd be lost without her. Happy Mother's Day to all of you moms out there! I hope your day is wonderful!

This 'blog' of mine has turned into an online diary. I don't pull my weight trying to grab all the readers I can or blog about all of these awesome adventures I go on.  Well, let's be honest.. I don't have the time. 60+ hour work weeks along with school is causing me to have the most uneventful life. So if you're looking for an exciting post of all the amazing things I've been doing, this isn't it. If you're looking to catch up, you're reading the right post. I'm working too much. It's wonderful for my bank accounts and for all the bills I've gotten a few months ahead of. However, I need some time off. 1 or 2 full days a week or even every other week. I just can't keep working myself this hard. My free time is dedicated to homework, sleep and laundry.  I guess I have myself to blame for this. I became single and decided to devote myself to making money and going to school. I wanted to stay busy. I went overboard. I need time

Lately, I've been working so much and eating very little. I simply haven't had time. It's been really taking a toll on me. I feel dizzy often and even sometimes get worried that I'm going to pass out. I've been trying to eat protein bars, but I really need to start planning meals. Especially in the morning because I find myself running out of energy by the afternoon. I've turned to Pinterest for some help. Check out some of my food pins by clicking on the picture above. One of my favorite things that I found were these from Fine Food Specialist , which would be perfect in the morning or even afternoon with some toast. I've tried something similar before and loved it. I have such a hard time wanting to eat breakfast, but toast with marmalade is quick yet not too much for those mornings when I'm really not that hungry. What do you normally eat in the morning?
