Well, if you didn’t know by now, I got a new job. *HOORAY!* I’ve managed to work my way up to finding a full-time can of awesomeness where I get to do what I am most passionate about. All. Day. Long. It’s kind of weird to tell you the truth. I’m so used to doing a million and one different jobs everyday that when I’m left alone to create my masterpieces (modest much?) I’m left wondering why nobody is bothering me. Ha.

It feels like someone snapped their finger and the weekend was suddenly over! No bueno! Although it went by extremely fast, it was a pretty awesome weekend full of baby showers, seeing old friends, and silliness with Alexis to wrap it up. =)

I'm really excited to tell you about this week's music treat of the week - Lissie! This recommendation comes from my good friend, Ashley, who told me about this fantastic lady a few weeks ago.

It’s pretty rare that I step into the gym without my iPod. Actually, I never go in the gym without some type of music, and this past Sunday was no different. Only this time, I took my phone because I’ll be honest, I’m obsessed with Grooveshark and I wanted to run to some playlists I had created earlier in the week. However, when I got on the treadmill, my phone went crazy and it wouldn't load ANY apps what-so-ever (don't worry, Grooveshark, it wasn't your fault). I actually even thought about leaving (haha) but decided to just try really hard to have a good run without any music.

Last week, I could not find ANYTHING in all 3,000+ songs on my iPod that I wanted to listen to. Weird, right? So anyway, I threw out a cry for help on Twitter and asked if anyone had any recommendations. Good gravy did I get some responses! Most of them I hadn't even heard of before but I know I wanted to share some. So, today I'm sharing the ones I liked best from all the recommendations. Let me know if you like any!

Have a great week!

So, I’m not much of one to check my daily horoscope or look up what my dreams mean, but recently, I’ve had a handful of dreams that have been pretty freakin’ vivid and have stuck with me. So, I took the really important “things” from each dream and looked them up. It’s pretty interesting.

I most certainly cannot believe another weekend is coming to a close and the work week is here knocking on my door. However, thanks to my friend, Derek, I am excited to share some new music with you! I will confess, I have been listening to this album on repeat for about 5 days straight. It's pretty much like no other album I have in my collection, and as if you couldn't tell, I absolutely love them.

I was re-reading some of my recent posts and noticed they've been a little blue lately. The past couple weeks have been difficult and quite frankly sometimes doesn't feel like it's going to get better. Take Monday for example. I found out my recent car troubles are "urgent" and will cost me close to $1,000. Yikes. Or today when my printer had a hissy fit and decided it just wanted to show off its blinking red light instead of printing my sister's baby shower invitations that should have been sent out a month ago.

Do you ever wonder how you can have so many amazing friends and family, be intelligent, blessed, and still be unhappy?

Do you ever feel like you simply just can't have what you want no matter what you do?

Do you ever just get sad for no apparent reason?

Do you ever feel like you just want to leave and start over fresh, somewhere new?

Do you ever wonder if things will be different?

Do you ever think you just can't do this anymore? This day to day bullshit that just repeats itself?

When I was a little kid, I remember going to stores with my Mom and Dad pointing at EVERYTHING and just saying, “I want that!” Wait. Who am I kidding, I still do that. =) BUT…when you’re a kid, it always feels like you’ll just DIE if you don’t get that new shirt, video game, or piece of jewelry. At least that’s how I always felt. (Please tell me you did too – I really don’t want to feel abnormal here haha.) Well, as I mentioned, I haven't exactly outgrown this lovely trait but I can say that I have really worked towards trying to be more patient and less, "GIVE THIS TO ME RIGHT NOW." It works only sometimes. Hey, I never said I was perfect. =)

I kind of can’t believe it’s been almost a whole month since I blogged about trying to be Superwoman and crying over desserts. I can honestly say I’ve made no effort what-so-ever in the past month to be Superwoman, nor have I recently cried over dessert. Although, I DID make a delicious low-fat cake last night – pshhh who needs cupcakes anyway? (Kidding – I need cupcakes … lots of cupcakes…). I digress. =)
