"Waiting to Exhale" Wednesday

Hi! How is everyone doing this week?

It's been a pretty good week, in the Sunshine State for me (except for the fact that Lil Woman is leaving it).

Despite the good week, there are always things to look forward to!

This week, I'm looking forward to............

• The Back-Up Plan coming out, this weekend! I've been so excited about this movie, lol. That would SOOOO be me.......... decide that I've waited long enough to get married, go to a sperm bank to get pregnant, and then immediately run smack dab into the man of my dreams. Completely would happen to me, lol.

• Friday is a huge event for our city. It's our version of the Kentucky Derby, with a twist. Anyway, it's super fun and a great crowd.

• Sunday. I love my new Sunday School class. Our age group has desperately needing a class like this and it really has been a blessing.

• a big project at work being completed. My poor intern and I are about to pull our hair out, but we're thisclose to being finished!

What are YOU looking forward to?

"Waiting to Exhale" Wednesday

Hi friends.....

I've been a non-blogger, recently. Instead, I've just been a blog lurker.

A lot of you have been in funks lately. Me, too, lol. A BIG, huge, rotten, no good, very bad funk.

Thankfully, I'm fighting my way out of it. Today has been a really good day....... it was a good day and then I got some texts from "The Guy." Which, I'll be honest, made it a better day than it already was. I'm trying to keep everything in perspective, though.

Anyway, without further ado, I bring you "Waiting to Exhale" Wednesday.

I am looking forward to......

• Saturday! My friend Jeni and I are going to a Colbie Caillat concert. I've said it once and I'll say it again..... if there were a soundtrack of my life and it could only be comprised of one artist's music, Colbie Caillat would be that artist. Therefore, Jess is super psyched about Saturday.

• Seconding the Saturday concert for another reason......... it's a concert that has nothing to do with work, lol. Clearly, my job allows super cool opportunities. Last weekend, I actually got to eat dinner with the artist before the concert.... totally fun. On the flip side, there's always an element of work involved. So, it's nice to go to a concert where you get to do nothing but sit back and enjoy the music!!

• I am going to a movie, this weekend. I never went from the last time I said I was going. It will happen, this weekend.

• Work has been difficult to deal with, lately (which has been part of my funk). However, today, we discussed some potential opportunities that I'm really excited about and hope go through!!

'Waiting to Exhale' Wednesday

Hi, people.

I don't know about you, but I'm exhausted. So exhausted that I skipped my workout this evening (bad girl), came home, put my jammies on, and turned on last week's The Vampire Diaries.

I'm so exhausted that I haven't conjured up the brainpower and energy to write my recap from my Girls' Weekend. Bad, I know. I promise I'll do it.

But, this week has been tough. In fact..... I blew up at work today. Then, I broke down and cried. For an hour. Then, about two hours later, someone said something and I started crying again. I'm usually a calm and level-headed person. Just in general. So, it's pretty bad when I'm having meltdowns at work.

And, while I'm sure it's bad form and unprofessional to completely meltdown, I'm at least lucky in that the people in my building are used to it. It happens on a weekly basis. It used to be daily, but those people either quit or retired. So, they are used to it. And, they realize that if Jessica is melting down, it's BAD.

So, as I'm sitting here trying to recoup, I thought about how I couldn't wait to just relax..... to not worry about everything happening at work..... to stop holding my breath and exhale.

Therefore, I starting something. It's called "Waiting to Exhale" Wednesday. If someone already has something like this (or named this), let me know and I'll cease and desist. However, I haven't seen it and I need it. So, I'm starting it.

This Wednesday, I'm looking forward to......

..... having lunch with Marylou on Friday. Marylou was my tap teacher growing up and is like my 2nd mom.

..... going to a movie. I've decided that sometime this weekend, I'm going to see a movie. I don't know which one or when, but it's going to happen.

.... Easter, when there is candy and good food.

.... my new Sunday school class. I kind of like it and am hoping this "trial" run turns into a permanent group.

What are at least three things that you are looking forward to this weekend or early next week?
