The personal blog of a girl named Alexa
Why is it that men always expect you to do everything for them and then they don’t want to do a damned thing for you?
This man always wants my help with every little thing, but when I need him to work on my car or something its an issue. It is really pissing me off. How freaking hard is it to do the guy thing and try to fix whats wrong? Especially when I am doing everything I can to help you with the stuff you asked me to help with! Grrrrrr.
I got this side job working a convention. I really didn’t need the job, but a friend of mine needed some help because on of her people couldn’t make it. I am now in charge of crowd control. This should be fun. I get to tell people where to go. That is a woman’s dream job, well sort of. I know I am being a smarty pants, but I am in a great mood. I get to spend time with my friend and make a little money on the side. That is definitely a bonus.
I have to set up all of the stanchions and velvet rope that will direct the traffic throughout the convention hall. There will be a buffet as well as a lot of speakers in different rooms, so that means a lot of set up. I will probably help set up the tables and chairs as well. I am sure that my friend will have me doing all kinds of stuff.
This morning I needed a cup of coffee so badly that I stayed beside the coffee maker and as soon as about a quarter of a cup of coffee had accumulated in the pot, I grabbed it off the burner and drank it.
Seriously, just two sips of coffee and my nerves settled right down. But I drank 3 cups this morning – just to make sure that I got enough caffeine in me to deal with the day.
I am taking a little trip to Canada for a couple of weeks. I found a Calgary apartment to rent for my stay there. I have business that will keep me there for longer than I wish to stay in a motel. It will make things much easier on me to just have my own space. It will also cut down on my food expenses, because I will be able to cook for myself. This trip was definitely unexpected.
Apparently, my boss was supposed to go, but there was a family emergency that made it impossible for him to be able to. I was the next logical choice as I have no kids and I am very familiar with this project. It wouldn’t be too difficult to handle as I have been by my bosses side throughout the entire thing. I know I will be just fine doing the presentation, and I certainly hope all goes well for my boss and his family.
I love my coffee. I just have to have it every morning to meet and greet the world. It helps tremendously.
I am not really picky about the coffee brand, but I do like flavored coffee’s. I used to have a Gevalia account, but it grew expensive and honestly I can buy just about all of the same flavors in the grocery store now and it is cheaper. Especially if I go to the organic store. They have amazing flavors. I might have to stop by there today.
I have a baby shower to go to later on this afternoon. I already bought a couple of small things, but still need to purchase a couple more. I have the stroller baby priced, but I am not sure if I should buy it as our friend Kim said she was going to. I did order the purple and brown baby bedding for the crib that she and her husband already bought. She was very specific about what she wanted and we all wanted to make sure that she got it. That isn’t too difficult.
I also bought as a surprise, some green and purple toddler bedding. That way when the child is ready for the crib to convert to a toddler bed, he/she will have a new set of bedding. They are all the same size anyway, so she can use them before hand as well as later. I know she will be happy with it as she was admiring it when we were out shopping.
I love Sunday mornings. All quiet and little to no traffic. I can hear the birds chirping and you can tell that spring is officially here.
I went for a mile long hike down a nature trail yesterday. I think I might go back today and do two miles. I need to get more exercise anyway. I am trying to lose those pounds I put on over the winter, so I can go buy a new bathing suit.
Wish me luck !

My brother-in-law has been a personal trainer for seven years. He started doing it when he was in college to make a little extra money. After he graduated from college, he was unable to find a job that would use his degree in psychology, so he decided to continue training his clients. He tried to make it into a full-time job, but because of the economy, many of his clients had to give up their personal training sessions for financial reasons. He had trouble finding more clients, so he decided to focus his time on opening a personal training studio. He opened the studio with a few of his friends who are also personal trainers. With their combined clientele, they have pretty good business. They found out that they could get a decent price on phone and internet for their studio with T1 new york, so that was one less thing they had to worry about. I have referred a few friends to them and they are seeing pretty fast results. I am also thinking about starting to train there soon.
I think I will go out to dinner tonight. I am in the mood for some seafood and that is a craving that I cannot ignore. I love seafood. Shrimp, crabs, lobster, and fish are just so yummy. There is a nice little place down on the river that has a lovely out door deck you can dine on. Since the weather is so good, I have decided that is exactly what I will do. I have already called ahead and made a reservation, because I know I will not be the only one with such an idea. Have a great evening people. I know I will.
There has been a lot of changes at work lately. The most obvious one is the new decor being administered to the entire building. It has been a bit distracting with the workmen everywhere, but most of the work has been done at night. I walked into the building and the foyer has been finished finally. It is complete with bronze plaques on several walls. One of the Impact Signs bronze plaques denotes the founder of our company and our company moto on it. It is very beautiful to look at.
There are Impact Signs next to the elevators as well, to let you know which floor holds which department. I really like what they have done with the building. It looks so much nicer and much more professional than it did before. We have been in the same building practically since the company was founded, so it had very old decor. Our founder would be very happy if he could see it now, and even more so if he knew how far we have progressed as a company.
