10 Things for today!

1. Holy shit this industry is COMPLICATED. I thought Consulting was a hard concept to grasp when I worked for that company. Oil and gas is absolutely ridiculously confusing - especially with a company whose org structure is in shambles at the moment. My first few days were pretty awesome. I found out today that we have casual Fridays - that means jeans!! Holla! I love it so far! :)
2. I got my shoes in. They are amazing! I JUST got them yesterday, so I was able to wear them today. Super cute and went great with my outfit today. Certainly stylin'!
3. I worked out today, which was nice. 20 min. walking on the treadmill, 20 minutes with the weights, and 20 mins elyptical with weights (talk about a balancing act!) But I feel great! I wish I felt this great BEFORE I went to work out, then I'd do it all the time!!
4. I've not been following the Fat Smash Diet BUT I have been eating fruits and vegetables as snacks instead of the usual bread with hummus or something. I'm a relatively healthy eater, so hopefully I'll lose a little bit of weight. I'm kinda scared to cause my entire wardrobe is pretty expensive and I've been the same size for quite a while. As long as I continue to feel healthy, I guess I'm okay with it!
5. I've been watching Desperate Housewives and am absolutely HOOKED now! That show is crazy good... and soap net shows 3 episodes a day. Gotta love DVR!
6. Borders was having their crazy good sale on calendars - they always do this a few weeks into the new year. It's about the time that I go in to buy mine and they're only 4 bucks a piece! Huzzah! I got a magnetic words calendar for my office, a day planner for all of my projects, and a Texas Travel calendar for my room.
7. I thought my job was going to give me a laptop (because I asked) and then when I showed up, I have this desktop. It's great, don't get me wrong, but I was hoping for portability - and for multiple use, really - and I didn't get it! I understand, however, because they gave me THE computer with all of the design software and a gazillion other things on it. I AM in Marketing, I guess that is to be expected!
8. I get Taste of Home magazine every month and there's a recipe I'm DYING to try! It's Tomato Tortellini Soup... looks AMAZING! I'd link it, but it says you have to be a subscriber to the magazine to see it. Boo!
9. Now that I have somewhat of a "fixed" income every month, I can start on the David Ramsey plan that I read a few months ago. It's gonna be great to pay off my car, student loans, and credit cards.
10. Texas weather is pretty much awesome right now... it's been 70-ish the entire week. :) LOVE it!

On the shoe hunt!

I just ordered these magnificent things. Carrie would be proud. ;)

I decided that I needed a new pair of black closed-toe high heels. I purchased some from Target that absolutely hurt the hell outta my feet, so I returned them. I know, I know... wearing a pair of shoes and returning them isn't usually in my character - but money is tight and they were poorly designed!

The need for a black shoe was still there so I went searching today. I must say, I haven't figured out where it is these Dallas bitches go to get there cute little shoes yet, but I am determined to find it!! I went to the Marshall's "Mega shoe shop" and found zip. Famous footwear... nada. I even went to the mall.... but what I found was this little beauty, in black suede.

This hot number is going fast. (Nine West, you guys are brilliant!) So I had to order them online. I like the black/white one better than the black suede ones. And I paid a little more for them than I normally would have, but I really want them. (Plus, it just made me feel better)

So, 7-10 days from now, I should see them at my doorstep. I should also be starting my new job around that same time, celebratory present for myself, I suppose. ;)
