Office Escapes

IMG_4594
Today is my travel post.
In fact, today was a lot of things but the only traveling that I did today was from my office chair to the bathroom. It was “awesome”. So as I thought about the blog today I was trying to think of what you guys would want to know about. Then I decided to let you all in to the deepest, darkest places in my mind and tell you where I mentally travel when trying escape my day at the office.
1. For some reason this is the first place that I travel. I really feel relaxed when sitting in the sand and watching the surf and it never hurts to watch the surfers either which is probably why I mentally go to the North Shore of Oahu.
2. Right after the beach I usually head over to the mountains and this place in particular is usually what I think about. I think it has something to do with the many times we spent up there as kids while growing up.
3. Then I have to waffle back to the beach again but this time I don’t want a sunny beach to sit in the sand. I want to walk the length and think about things. That is why this coastline is the best.
4. Since I have now travelled between a sunny beach, the mountains and a thoughtful walk on the beach; the next place I mentally go is to my own home. I think this should be my next house!
5. Last but not least; my final thought usually involves climbing into bed either for the night or a great nap. I think I am going to need this in my new house. 🙂
So where do you all mentally travel?

Valentine’s Day

So no one need recognize that is Saturday and not Friday. We are going to pretend that yesterday didn’t escape me!  🙂
So moving on . . . Did everyone realize that it is Valentine’s Day today?!
I actually like the holiday.
I like seeing men pick out flowers and look bewildered while doing it (case in point this morning at Sam’s club) and also asking other women standing around in a salon what they would like if they were getting a spa gift card (also happened today while I was getting my eyebrows waxed).
By way of announcement . . . I am not making fun of these men. I really truly love that they think today is important enough to be out and about early picking out things for their loved one. The only thing I want to do is run a website that functions like Pinterest but automatically emails the husband or boyfriend the updates of things that their woman likes and where to get it so that they don’t look so bewildered. It would be sweet justice for all.
So I think I should list the top 5 things I would want this Valentine’s Day. Anyone else care to join me?
1.       I am a SUCKER for flowers especially my most favorite flowers which are black tulips but these are my very close second runner ups.
2.       I am not a huge fan of chocolates but if I could have one of these chocolate peanut butter shakes from Moonstruck Chocolates I would be totally happy and yes, that is the world’s best chocolate peanut butter shake.    
3.       I think taking a walk here would be wonderful
4.       And I think the best saying on loving the right person is: and so the adventure beings.
5.       I would wear these for a night of dancing and no, I don’t mean clubbing. There is a difference. Got to act insane on this day once in awhile.

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!!

Hallelujah!

November & December 472
I am nearing the end and I have given my official end date to current job. It will be February 28th and then I might be bored . . . one could only hope. 🙂
In the meantime, I have decided that I need the following things in my life.
I mean really; I have lived in a hotel for the last three weeks and spent almost every waking hour in the office. I could be anywhere in the world and not know what is going on or where I am. So the following things I think would really put a smile on my face.
What do you need in your life right now to get through the day to day humdrum?
1.      An adorable animal 
2.      New clothes because I am already sick of what I brought with me. How long is the mall open tonight? These are pretty much awesome and this should make an evening out a lot more fun!
3.      A kitchen because eating out is VERY over rated 
4.      In fact, a house because the Holiday Inn Express isn’t that cool anymore
5.      A great place for a date 
And just because it is close to Valentine’s Day, I might have to get one of these too.:)

How the Week Went

10.27.14 022
I am coming out from the dark side and even though this is a week a late; I couldn’t help myself and am sending it anyways. It is the music only post and I wonder if anyone can guess how the week went?
Run through the songs and let me know. The one that guesses right will receive my love and adoration for eternity.
How is that for gift giving?! 🙂
