How’s everyone adjusting to 2013?
1. Dressing up Having to wear more than jeans the week after the holiday season is inconsiderate of HR departments everywhere. This week, and most of January, we should be encouraged to wear yoga pants. Everyone has cried, yelled explicatives or both at the scale. So, yoga pants are good for the soul and should encourage people to work out. Take that to your Wellness Initiative. You can’t forget your work out clothes, because you’re wearing them.

2. Starting a new day planner/calendar is great. The Taskmaster is treating me well and things are being marked off the to do lists with great enjoyment. I’m still trying to decide how to use all four task spaces but I’m sure I’ll figure that soon enough. Currently, they’re personal items, work items, personal project management and work project management.
3. Our backsplash will be finished tomorrow. That’s right, we’re almost done with our mother lovin’ kitchen. Y’all are gonna get an earful with the breakdown of why it’s taken so long. Here’s a preview.
4. This weekend we’re celebrating The Mister’s birthday. He’s a New Years baby so all resolutions/goals are on hold till after these festivities. This isn’t exactly true as I have done Zumba twice and I’m sure those two times totally negate the cookie I ate at Bricktops and the cupcake from GiGis. I’m making his request of mashed potatoes and meatloaf. No desserts.
Have a great weekend. My travel schedule really picks up this month and I’ve decided to share more road stories here, as it was nice to have a recap of some recent trips. So, stay tuned.


this backsplash looks really great. Way to go on Zimbabwe, it’s so difficult to jumpstart first of the year fitness. Also…I too believe casual dress should not only be allowed but perhaps MANDATORY the week after the holidays. I think you may be on to something with yoga pants. I say we should be encouraged to wear fitness fashion and HR should supply on site yoga/cardio classes as well as healthy lunches for the week ! Wouldn’t that be amazing? It seems that my iPad doesn’t like the word yoga and keeps auto correcting to yovs and yoda…really? now I have to look up yovs . I like the backsplash
umm Zimbabwe? that would be zumba…auto correct
Both Zumba and Zimbabwe can be difficult. So, you’re correct either way.
