Erica's Big Day!



As part of my goals for 2012 I am going to be blogging more about fun, friends, work, love, just life in general.  It will include the good, the bad, and the ugly...because who wants to only hear the sugar coated side of things?  Each day will TRY to have some kind of focus, a person, a recipe, a triumph, or just a random thought.

Today, Friday the 13th, is dedicated to Erica.  Erica is an amazing friend, dedicated co-worker, and a good accountability partner; and today was her BIG DAY.  

While we are not quite sure why it was her BIG DAY, we do know that it was... Rich (her boyfriend) told us so!  While Erica had an un-eventful, yet stressful day of work full of random jobs with imaginary deadlines and a ridiculous "theme" to try to work within, it was a long day... which can be interpreted to big?  But, even with all of these things working against her she still had a smile on her face and jokes in her back pocket.  

When she left work today she had a list of to-do's in order to organize herself and get ready for the 2012 year, and make it successful and full of goal accomplishing!  Maybe that makes it a Big Day?

While we keep waiting for something to make this an extraordinary day for Erica; Rich is the one skiing, laughing, and having more vacation time... Maybe tomorrow for Erica?

YouData.com

Looking for a quick, easy way to make some extra money?  Check out YouData. It is not a huge money maker, but the pennies add up with time, and it is always nice to see a few extra cents get added into the budget, for something that you normally do on a daily basis...look at ads and watch commercials! Here is a copy of my referral email if you would like to join under my account (which I would be grateful for), or you can always visit the site on your own to sign up! I found something that I think you will like. The company's name is YouData ( youdata.com ). They are trying to convince consumers like us that we should be the ones controlling our own data and selling our own attention, not third parties like broadcasters, newspapers, and spammers. By creating a MeFile at YouData.com, I now control what ads I see and when I see them. Best part - I am selling my attention directly to interested advertisers, for real money. That's right, I get paid fo...

A Week of Golf

In 2017 my team was tasked with exciting job of catering to the LPGA Marathon Classic for their week long golf tournament here in town.  We had less then 4 months to prepare, and we had never done anything on such a large scale before.  It was both exhilarating and terrifying, especially for an Enneagram 6 like me.  We are loyal and committed, but our biggest needs are security, and we fear not having the support and guidance needed.  What a way to walk into a task like this.   I was suddenly tasked with finding organizations to fill close to 200 shifts for concession stands, as well as around 75 employees to help me make this event a reality.  It took a lot of time, planning, questions, stress, and a roller coaster of emotions, but we did it!  It was amazing the feeling that you have after you accomplish something like that. Since then we have continued to receive this job each July, and each year has gotten a little easier.  We have ha...

Weekly Menu Plan

This week has already been changed around again and again from my husband being in town, to leaving, to coming home early, to leaving again, so the menu plan has been changing, but that is the great thing about having food in the pantry & freezer! Since I didn't get around to making "Cheese" Soup last week, I made it last night.  While it was an interesting batch of ingredients, it turned out to be quite delicious!  I will post my version of the recipe tomorrow! This week we plan to eat at work everyday for lunch, or to finish up leftovers from the fridge, so even less menu planning! For dinners I am making the following: Taco Salads "Cheese" Soup Loaded Nachos Steamed Vegetables and Crescent Rolls (My husband can live on vegetables alone!) This month is busy at work, and I am having company this weekend, and traveling next weekend so I won't be doing any freezer cooking for a little while, but I am hoping to do a few large freezer cooking s...
