I came home from work today and found huge piles of personal belongings in the middle of our street. At this point, I'm not really sure what happened, but it looks like another house was foreclosed in our neighborhood. When we bought our house, we were so excited about the deal with got because ours was a foreclosure, but it really changes your perspective when you see someone else getting thrown out of their home. As much as I want to believe that things are making the turn for the best in our economy, seeing things like this makes me feel exactly the opposite.
On a good note, I had a half day yesterday and took a drive downtown to interview for a new job. I won't find out until mid to late next week, so please keep your fingers crossed for me!

Monday Motivation
Mondays are by far my LEAST favorite day of the week. It's just not fair for a perfect day as Sunday to be butt up against a horrible Monday. As far as what's in my cup this morning... I'm taking a half empty cup and filling it with strong coffee to help me get this week off right and battle the Monday blues. After all, this week has the potential to be great.
Happiness depends upon ourselves. - Aristotle
After your wonderful cup of deliciousness is finished this morning, remember this quote. When the second customer of the day decides you're going to be the one they direct their frustrations on, remember it is not personal. Or maybe it's your evil co-worker that gives you the sneaky side-eye to try and throw off your motivation and concentration, keep your chin up. Work is exactly that; work. Try not to take in all that negative energy. Use your own happiness and satisfaction to maintain your composure and get it done right.
Have a great week :)

First Post
Here it is; another first blog post. I've been trying to find the motivation and focus to start a blog for quite sometime. But I think I've finally gotten to the root of what I want to discuss and share (and think people might be interested in) and am ready to start this blog!
Before you commit to reading weekly updates from a random rambling girl, here's a little bit about me: I'm a Jersey girl at heart living undercover as a southern belle in GA. I'm a banker for one of the largest financial institutions in the US although a few years ago I went back to school for a masters in HR so I could find a better job and make more money (isn't that a joke?!). I graduated in May 2010 and I'm still searching for that opportunity. I'm recently married, have two dogs, and no children. Oh, and I'm rapidly approaching that 30 milestone birthday we all thought about when we were kids. Remember thinking, "What do you want to be when you're 30?" I'm finding myself somewhat short of where I thought I'd be.
Now that you know a little about me, what the heck is my blog going to be about? I've always thought myself to be a look for the silver lining, think positive kind of girl. But lately, I'm anything but. I've let a lot of petty things eat at me for so long it's actually changed the way I look at other aspects of my life... and I hate that. I have no reason to be so angry and upset all the time! I'm tired of thinking, "This just isn't fair... Is it?!" The desire to finally answer that question and lay these frustrations to rest have been my inspiration for this blog. To help me regain my sanity, my stability, and to grow back into the person I want to be. I've got big plans for myself and it's about time that I stop letting things stand in my way.
