Back to the Routine (and some tidbits)

I'm so glad it's Thursday!  This week has been hectic and for some reason, getting back into the routine of work and play, has been a tough one.  Work is kicking my ass.  I've been going in early and staying late (We are in the middle of changing our systems and let's just say it's not going well).  I went out with friends twice this week after work and stayed out later than I should have.  I managed a quickie with Brandon and I'm meeting Jason for lunch today.  Matt comes back to Hawaii tomorrow and I am picking him up from the airport.  I replied to all my emails, but then got replies to my replies, so I'm behind again.  I have over 20 blogger comments to approve and reply to and I plan to knock those out this weekend.  I haven't kept up with the blogs I'm subscribed to and feel really out of the loop with my blogger friends :(  I am slowly getting readjusted to being back in Hawaii.  My vacation was nice and relaxing  and I need to get back into the swing of things. 

A couple of things...I added a "Follow by Email" widget to my page.  On the left side, you can enter your email and you will get my newest post sent to you automatically.  This is for my readers who don't have a Blogger account.  The email is NOT sent in real time.  I believe the email is sent every morning.  Example:  If I post a new blog at 7 pm on Tuesday, you will get an email about it on Wednesday morning.

Second, I will be doing a FAQ post within the next couple of weeks.  If you'd like to submit a question, send me an email:  aghwb@yahoo.com   with the subject line:  FAQ.  If you are a fellow blogger and would like me to link your question to your blog, please be sure to leave me your full blog url.  If you submit a question and would like to remain anonymous, you can do that too.  So if there's a question you're been dying to ask me, now is your chance to get the answer! 

Thank you again to my loyal readers, who come back to my blog everyday!  I am working hard to get some new posts up for you.  Have a nice week, everyone!

Day 2 - Envy

Day 1 - Pride. Seven great things about yourself.
Day 2 - Envy. Seven things you lack and covet.
Day 3 - Wrath. Seven things that piss you off.
Day 4 - Sloth. Seven things you neglect to do.
Day 5 - Greed. Seven worldly material desires.
Day 6 - Gluttony. Seven guilty pleasures.
Day 7 - Lust. Seven love secrets.

This is the tag I’m doing.  I’m on Day 2 today…Envy. This is list is going to be very superficial.  I'm very happy with my life, but if I had to say things I wish I had, here's what I would say.

1. I wish I could afford just one designer purse.  I'd love a  LV speedy, but with practical things like rent and bills, I just can't justify spending the money on a purse!

2. I envy girls who have a natural fashion sense.  I have friends who look at a cute skirt and immediately know what type of shirt to wear with it and what color.  I'm usually clueless.  A friend also told me you're not supposed to wear blue and black together.  I had no idea!

3. I wish I were more adventurous with makeup.  I have a neutral look and a dark smokey eye that I can do and that's it.  I see blue, pink, and green eye shadows and I have no idea what to do with them!

4. I'm envious of people with perfect eyesight!  I've worn glasses or contacts since high school and it's a pain.  I know I can get laser eye surgery, so maybe I'll have to save for that.

5. I'm envious of people (male and female) who are comfortable eating alone in restaurants or seeing movies by themselves.  I consider myself fairly independent, but I just can't bring myself to do those 2 things.  If I don't have a friend to eat dinner with and I really want food from a restaurant, I just get take out.  And I rather just wait for the DVD if I can't find a friend to see a movie with.

6. I wish I had better luck.  I have friends who win drawings, contests, free trips, raffles, etc.  I have never won!  I went to a casino with a friend and I played $50 on a slot machine and lost it.  She put in $20 on the same machine after I was done and won $1000 on her first spin!

7. I envy people who truly enjoy working out.  I have friends who love running.  I even have friends who are marathon runners.  They love it!  They talk about running all the time.  Me?  I run because I don't want to be overweight.  But if I could skip the running and still be skinny, I'd never run again!  lol
