Mentally Pooped!

So, right now at work it's our slow time of year. As most know,  I work in the financial services industry hiring financial advisors. We get a big pickup after summer when unemployed people realize they may need to get a job. Typically I do anywhere from 2-3 interviews a day.

Lately, I've been lucky if I get one. The good thing about that is I get to do a lot of project work! I've been working on quite a few projects and a lot of auditing, and it's just really made my brain hurt.

I was supposed to study tonight, but I just needed a mental break and Jeff went to the ballgame. So what did I do? Watched 4 hours of TV! I haven't watched a lick of TV since Sunday so I caught up on a few on my favorite shows.

1) The Little Couple- I LOVE Jen & Bill. They crack me up, but are adorable all at the same time
2) Secret Life of the American Teenager - Confession. I religiously watched Seventh Heaven. So when producers got together to put the same show in place with a more provocative story line, I was sold!
3) Pretty Little Liars - I like this one too. Only 2 shows in, but It's like Gossip Girl meets Twilight but without vampires and werewolves. It's something about ABC Family gets me. Damn you ABC Family!

Now, I think I'm gonna get in bed watch icky Fox 2 news and go to sleep only to be waken up around 11 when Riley starts barking that Jeff is home. Yee -ha!

How did you spend your Wednesday night?

My 15 Week Business Plan


I'm putting together a 15 Week Business Plan for myself. Why? Because I have 3 goals, that I want to achieve in the next 15 weeks.

1) Pass the Series 7
2) Lose 30 lbs
3) Work out 3-4 days a week

How will I achieve this? I have no idea - hence the Business Plan!

More to come on this...and I've been inspired to run a 5K! I think I can add that in too in 15 weeks.

A Day on the River


Yesterday, I woke up hoping that Jeff's Dad would call and invite us to go out on the river. Around 10:30, I checked Jeff's phone and Woop! there was a voicemail. I quickly ran in and told Jeff to call his Dad back only to find out he wanted to go out on the boat! Sweetness.

So, I packed up lots fruits and veggies and powerade and we headed out on the boat. The wearther was a little crazy and we weren't sure if it was going to rain or not, but we headed out anyway. First stop was to meet up with Jeff's uncle and his family out in the quarry.

Then Jeff wanted to wakeboard, so we went up river to find smoother water. Overall, it was a great day. I didn't get too burnt, and I got to try out the new Hawaiian Tropic Sheer Touch SPF 50. I'll say, it wasn't very sheer. We were able to dodge the rain and got out just in time before it started storming. Then we headed to Culver's for dinner. Hurray for Kids Meals!
While we were out, the guys found a rope swing, and I about died laughing with Jeff trying to goof off. Glad I brought the Flip Camcorder to document his gracefulness. Enjoy!
