Women's best friend

From the eyes of a newbie & women's best friend.
I have a friend who gives me unconditional love and jumps for joy every time I open the door. He kisses me when I am down, he snuggles me at night, he never wants to leave my side. He is my alarm clock. He never fights with me over the remote, he never is embarrassed by my silliness. He always loves my outfits and can't wait to get me out the door with him. He makes me feel loved and needed. He is my shadow and would give his life for me.

Women's best friend is her dog, the perfect acquaintance in any girls life.

Fairy Tales

From the eyes of a newbie living a Fairy Tale

I watched a movie and compared my life to it. I have been an amazing art director like Mel Gibson in "What Women Want," I have gone o California and sang like Christina Aguilera in "Burlesque," I have been married in New York as Kate Hudson in "Bride Wars," I have had a broken heart like Sandra Bullock in "Miss Congeniality II."

But these were fairy tales and I was dreaming so in real life what have I done? Where have I gone? Movies are so eventful, so much happens in two hours, when compared to real life I feel as if I have done nothing and am moving  in   slow    mo t  i     o          n                   .

Revealed

From the eyes of a newbie revealed.


I can't remember the last time I went in public without coating my face with make-up to hide my pasty freckled covered skin stripped with blue veins. 
Why do we hold so many secrets from the world? I hide my skin, my anger, my bank account, my vulnerabilities... but today I have decided to share some of these things, the first step to reveal my true face behind the mask.. .. .. .. ..
1. I cover my body with jergans self tanning lotion religiously every night to cover my white skin.
2. I HATE making my bed, I never make it unless people are coming over.
3. I dance to movies, like Miss Congeniality (the end when all the girls are dancing)
4. I find museum's boring.
5. I won't take showers in thunderstorms because I am scared I will get electrocuted. 
6. I talk to my dog in a high pitched voice and call my little puppy (even though he is gray and almost 8 years old)
7. I am perhaps the worst speller you will ever meet, spell check saves me from huemilyation, wink wink. 
8. I hate expressing my feelings and revealing my faults, as small as they might be.

The "F" Word

From the eyes of a newbie using the "F" word.

When I was two my parents divorced and my "Father" was never a part of my life. I have no memories of him, I don't know where he lives, and I will not curl up and pity myself because of it. I believe the supposed weaknesses that life throughs at you help strengthen other areas of your life. 


Because I never had a father there is nothing to be missed. Certain events, however, do hurt such as seeing a father walk his daughter down the isle, or a teenager how to drive, or a little girl in a fluffy dress perched on her father's shoulders. My grandfather took this role until he died a few years ago.


They say environment doesn't actually change people like most think, but the events in your life sure do. I am an extremely controlling, organized planner who likes to "take the driver's seat" you could say. I need to know what is going on in every aspect of my life and if my plan gets altered it feels like anarchy! I am trying to fill two rolls like my mom did, she was the girly house-wife and the punisher, the driver, and the hairdresser, the dish-washer and the money-maker.


So I am suppose to compare my future husband to my father, looks like that might not be in the cards for me...just a call out to those who grew up with one parent, we have an extra little something, let's use it to our advantage.

Standing Out

From the eyes of a newbie standing out

Although I have only been in the workforce for a couple of months it is easy to see who stands out and why. The people whom I recognize, in a good way, are the ones that seem friendly, tall, energetic, the ones who take on more work than others but never seem busy, getting in early & staying late....


>  Well, I try to be friendly, but when completely ridiculously in  over my head...what to do?


>  Tall, well, I am 5'6" (generously), maybe if I wore heels.


>  Energetic, not at 7:30am but at around 10am I suppose.


>  Take on more work than others, maybe, but our whole group is crazy busy!


>  Seem calm, cool, and collected even though your plate is full, no dice. 


>  Get in early & stay late, yep I can do that!


When you look around and analyze others, make sure you always compare yourself so you hold yourself to the same standards as you do to those around you. Apparently I have some work to do!
