Live out loud.

“I am here to live out loud.”
-Emile Zola



This week is going to be a crazy one at work. I’m training 2 classes 8-5 through Friday, which leaves me practically no time to do other work that is required of me. In past training classes, I’ve really let this bring me down. But with new hopes on the horizon, I’m really trying to let all of the work nonsense roll off my back. We shall see…


So no, I still have not heard about the job. Which leaves me in a constant state of anxiety. Please continue to cross your fingers for me. But I have heard from other people that there is a hold up with the hiring process.


On a better note, I am really looking forward to the rest of this week (outside of work). BF has agreed to come to a beginners yoga class with me tomorrow at Cleveland Yoga. I’m SO excited. I’ve been trying to convince him to come with me for a while, so his agreeing to come is thrilling. Friday night I have my Margarita Girls Pottery Nite. I’m pretty pumped. Especially since BF has offered his place up to my girlfriends for our post-margarita hang fest. We are going to grab some dinner and drinks prior to our pottery girls nite. I’m not sure where yet, and it really depends on how much time we have. Ideally, I would like to go to the Barley House, if not, somewhere like Rockne’s or Aladdin’s perhaps. The girls and I have been pretty busy with work and other priorities, so I’m pretty pumped to get to spend some time with them.


Saturday BF and I have a packed day! We are walking in the Relay For Life Cancer Walk in remembrance of his grandmother that just passed away. We are walking with some other members of his family. It should be nice, if for nothing else than to spend some time with some great people and be outdoors. Later that afternoon we plan on going to an outdoor festival in a neighboring town. Our area is known for their maple syrup production so every year there is a festival… celebrating nothing… but… maple. Ha. Funny, I know. We are going to get some food and walk around. Nothing too exciting, but nonetheless, I’m looking forward to it.


With so much to look forward to, I’m starting to stress more and more about the future. It doesn’t help that I have family members breathing down my neck about my life and over things that will do nothing but stress me more in the meantime.


Oh dear, I need to hear something about the job. ASAP.

What a weekend!

I’m still exhausted from the weekend and it’s already Tuesday!

So today was a fairly busy day of training at work so I didn’t get to update this like I originally intended, so here’s the condensed version (gimme a break-I’m beat!).

I didn’t get a call about the job on Friday. I half expected not to because that’s just how things go. “HR will have it figured out by Friday close of business” can easily turn into a week. However, I made a last ditch effort “I’m very excited about this opportunity” call. So I was a little bummed that I would have to spend my weekend still wondering where my life is headed within the next couple of months. But, regardless, BF and I went to the Cleveland Indians game Friday night. It as great! The weather was beautiful and there was a fireworks display following the game.

I. Was. Starving. After the game. For real. I usually like to indulge in a game hot dog and/or beer, but couldn’t really justify the cos this time. So afterwards, we hit up Aladdins for some pita and hummus. WAY better than a stadium hotdog.

Saturday morning I woke up bright and early to go pick up some breakfast from Panera for us before we had to head to the Akron Zoo. Although I’ve been trying to kick my filthy Starbucks habit, I decided that the zoo was special occassion enough to justify the 4 bucks I spent on an iced latte (I can justify anything if I put my mind to it!).

So we headed to the zoo bright and early. We set up our table with the last five
Editions of EcoWatch Ohio, and settle in for the day. BF offered me some of his SPF 15, to which I kindly declined stating that my natural olive skin tone would allow for me to tan wonderfully. Our table was set up directly between two tables with giveaways. Let me tell you, people care a lot less about a newspaper if that’s all you have to offer. But we stuck it out for a few hours. We then walked around the zoo which was no nice.

After the zoo we are EXHAUSTED! The sun will do that to you, I suppose. Later that night we decided to go out for burgers and putt putt. The putt putt course was out of control, but really fun. We went to get some yummy Coldstone after putt putt and it ended the day wonderfully.

Sunday we were wastes of space! Too much sunburn will do that to ya! We went for a hike and picnic. BFs idea. The hike was exhausting but fun! We also spent a little time doing yardwork and grocery shopping. Followed by cooking a wonderful meal of grilled chicken and mango salsa!

Sigh! What a wonderful weekend. So happy. So so happy. 🙂
