5 Reasons it's Hard to be a Blogger
February 24, 2016
#HASHTAGHUMPDAY | Busy or Lazy?
Before we get into it, let me remind you you have a plethora of link ups to confess your face off to every Wednesday. #Hashtaghumpday with my partner in crime Lauren and I of course, Alanna for confessions as well as Plucky in Love, and then Kathy and Nadine! So much humpity-hump-day love!
First a little business. Here’s the scoop:
- Each Wednesday create a post about what’s going on in your life and #hashtag each item or story. See an example HERE. Be as creative as you want!
- Grab the button and include it in your post
- Link up so we can all #creep on you and find out what’s new/funny/awesome /shitty in your life.
- Comment on at least one other blogger’s post from the link up (someone you don’t already know!) if there even is anyone who links up…
- Share on all your social sites with #hashtaghumpday
- Have fun! #hashtagtheshitoutofeverything #whocaresifitsarealhashtag
Kapeesh?
I confess, I'm a little burnt out on this space and I've used the new job as an excuse. I've lost all opportunity to blog at work and that was once where I did a majority of my blogging. Now that it's not the way to burn up time at a job I'm not happy with, it seems more like an obligation and I never EVER want it to be that #soineedtofigureitout
That doesn't mean that there hasn't been time to blog. There has. Maybe I'm just a lazy pile of... #youknowwhat
Mostly I feel super guilty about not reading and commenting like I used to do. I have made such outstanding friends through this space and through connecting and commenting and I have totally let that slip. Mostly I want to say to you all SORRY!!!
For those of you still sticking around while I figure my shiz out, thank you. I LOVE YOU!
And that is really all I have today. The confession that I'm a behind, a bit lost, lazy and missing the hell out of you all. Here's hoping I can turn it around!
Cheers until we meet again! Now go link up!

#HASHTAGHUMPDAY | New Job and Stuff
Before we get into it, let me remind you you have a plethora of link ups to confess your face off to every Wednesday. #Hashtaghumpday with my partner in crime Lauren and I of course, Alanna for confessions as well as Plucky in Love, and then Kathy and Nadine! So much humpity-hump-day love!

So for starters be forewarned that I need to gush a little bit...
I am OVER THE MOON EXCITED about my new job. There I said it. It's basically the coolest job in the world other than snuggling with puppies all day. I know there are lots of people who make their living doing nothing but social media, but I didn't really think it was a reality for me. Now I will get paid to spread and share the messages of a product line millions of people love, over social media, for a living #someonepinchme
I still don't know if it's Kosher to share here where I'm working, but if you want to know, comment and I'll shoot you an email. What you should know though is that the perks are killer. Now I'm not talking benefits, those are pretty good too, I'm talking other things. For example $55 in product for your birthday every year, half off everything in their high-end, onsite cafeteria and coffee shops, and even free unlimited access to an onsite gym that has classes from yoga to crossfit #ifonlyihadaleg #idbekillingitatthegymalready #somuchfreestuff!
The other thing I'm overly excited about is the company's stance on giving back. Every month there is a service project (or two) you can be a part of, if you volunteer on your own time they will pay out your hours to the charity of your choice, and they offer pay-it-forward programs ($10 each to thousands of employees) each year to spread in their communities #ineedtostepupmyhelpinggame #andnowitspartofmyjob #givingbackisthebest
I've been downloaded now from my team leader and I have to admit it left my head spinning. We are basically re-launching and re-branding on all their platforms over the next year, which is overwhelming. Still I was so excited and happy for this opportunity I was nearly in tears as I drove home last night #happytearsarethebest #mightbeoverwhelmedtearstoo
The one downside of course is that my once open-ish days at my old job for blogging are long gone, so posts may be fewer and farther between around here. Maybe this will be the push I needed to actually create a blogging calendar and schedule #dontholdyourbreath #crazierthingshavehappened
And I'd like to say I'm sorry for this brag-assy post but #sorrynotsorry
Happy Humpday all! Link up why don't ya?

5 Things to do Before Starting a New Job

Alrighty then, here we go...
Cleaning my desk out this week reminded me of what a hoarder I am. Not hoarding really, but just being a "stuff" person in general. I have LOTS of stuff. Most of it's crap, knick-knacks, personal tacks I use on my bulletin board, three kinds of lotions and chapsticks, all sorts of stationary, photos, a high-heel tape dispenser, business card holder and on and on I could go. It always seems to accumulate wherever I'm at #holdonwhileicrawloutofmyoffice #somuchstuff #someonehastocarryitdownstairsbecauseimacripple
I did most of the clearing out of my office while no one else was here, to avoid the pain #itsnothappeningifnooneelsesees #ifatreefallsinthewoods
As much as I tried to knock out a bunch of projects before leaving I left a few that I hate doing. I know that makes me a terrible person. At least it's not the hard stuff #someoneelsesproblemnow
We are having a farewell lunch for me today, and it will for sure not be Whole30 #eatingmyfeelings #itsthelastdaysowhynot
My boss keeps saying they're never going to find someone as great as me. It makes me feel awful but amazing at the same time. Sometimes you never really think you are that good at your job or reflect back on what you have done until you leave it. I guess I was pretty dynamite #killedit #bestever #setthebarhigh
There are definitely some people I'm not going to miss #imlookingatyouneedysponsors
Mostly there is just this weird feeling in my gut. It's a cross of butterflies of excitement and the gut-wrenching hurt of the goodbyes this afternoon. I may have to veer off Whole30 again tonight for a stiff drink when this is all over #istillcantbelieveit #offonmynextadventure #drinkswillbeneccessary

My Whole30 Results | Breakup Challenge 2016
If you are just tuning in, Amy and I decided that 2016 would be the year we broke up with our bad habits, and we asked anyone and everyone in the blog world (or otherwise) to join in! Whether you picked one habit to focus on or kick for the 30 days, or joined us for Whole30, we were all in it together!
Major Successes:
Look at the difference in my face!!! That's Christmas week and then after! |
I did pick up a La Croix habit though! Coconut was my favorite (mango is good too!) |
Not so Successful:
Some Confessions & Reasoning:
Kitty snuggles we're good medicine too. |

Ok so I may or may not have watched the new Fixer Upper instead of writing this post #HGTVaddict #shortandsweettocome #oops
I finally "announced" the new job this week and it feels sort of weird. Like I'm embarrassed. That's not the right word but it just doesn't feel real or normal. Not in a bad way, just different. I'm just not used to it yet #changeisawkward #butitsgoingtobegood
I've strategically planned two days of "funemployment" for some me time. I already have a massage, hair appointment, mani-pedi appointment and a grooming appointment for Gunner scheduled. Because why not? #funemployment #medayz #treatyoself
I feel superbly guilty about not taking Gunner to the park or dog park at all this week. I attempted the dog park on the pirate leg and I almost died when he decided he needed to go after another dog while on his leash, pulling over the one-legged freak-self I am at the moment. I'm scared to go back, but I feel sooooo terrible for him. It's like I'm depriving him of his favorite thing #terribledogmom #whatshouldido #damnyoupirateleg
I got a little over aggressive with searing my steaks last night and turned my house into a smoke lodge. Good thing I never installed those smoke detectors eh? #smokyashell #coughcough #steakwasgoodthough
I cheated just a tad and weighed myself last night for my Whole30 results. Took measurements this morning. I'm excited to share #majortease #butthatsallyouget
Seriously this week is going so FREAKING slow because I'm counting down the days left at my old job. I'm so ready for the weekend! #letsgetamoveon #waitingistheworst
And that's all I have this week. Confess and link up!
