The Thrill is Gone!

Being a native Texan ,one of the biggest excitements of life on the East Coast was experiencing actual seasons. Well, I am telling you.. I have experienced Winter and the 24 inches of snow that have fallen since December and I am DONE! It was pretty and white, but then the power was out for 2 days and Saturday Mr. Bliss and I bought a new furnace. A new furnace = a LOT of new shoes!!! I woke up warm this morning, but the snow has started again.. I have to say I am over it and dreaming of Spring! I am sure many of you out there are feeling the same way! So here is a little something warm to start your day!

New Year... New Job... New Me

Daffodil Means new Beginnings

Hello Ladies!

I can not believe that I have been gone from the blogging world since July. So much has happened and I felt that it was time for a come back (hopefully it won't be a Britney comeback and get cancelled)!!! I needed to focus on making my life what I want it to be and now I feel like I am up and running. Here is the five second update for 2010!

I have a new job and I feel like it was made for me. I am happy and thriving, plus it is something I believe in! Don’t worry Mitt Romney- you are still my first priority, just not on a full time basis!

Mr. Bliss and I bought a house and it is wonderful! It is exactly what I would have wanted if I could have chosen any home. Now, it is so much fun decorating and making our home.

Mr. Bliss passed the bar, WOHOO!!!

Mr. Bliss and I are the proud parents of a little Westie named Sidney. She is the cutest puppy and has a darling personality.

I started Atkins today and have decided to go to a Personal Trainer every Monday to keep myself motivated and start my week off right! Hopefully, this will be my last New Year to worry about losing those stubborn LBS!

And let’s just say a few other things have clicked into place and I can put old goals to rest, they have been achieved!!

Well, I hope everyone had a wonderful and merry holiday season and a safe and happy New Year. Here is to 2010 being a wonderful year and a fresh beginning to achieve your goals!

Unemployed Chic

This is how I am referring to myself.. Since this is Day 1 with NO JOB!! YAY! I do have some exciting news... Lots has been happening (I guess that is what happens when you don't blog...)

• I am a finalist for my job!! Not only is it the job that I applied for, they bumped me up to run the entire association. I am so excited, this is exactly what I want. Hard, challenging and fun work!!!! Here is the odd glitch--- I have my interview with the board next week and then dinner afterwards.. Except, I am pretty sure it is both of us having dinner. Any advice? Anyone been through this?
• I sold my first cupcake order last week! One of my friend's moms was having a party and found out it was a guests birthday, so she ordered 30 cupcakes from me!!
• I am in Texas for 10 days!! MY best friend is getting married on Saturday and since I am Unemployed Chic.. I thought why not an extended visit!!
• I am an Aunt again!!! I have a new 3 week old niece. She is adorable...

Today is Best Friends Day! So reach out to the people closest to you and let them know how much they mean to you!!

New Layout Is Here!

Hello Friends, I know I have been more than MIA, but I hope my cute new look makes up for it!

How does everyone like my new design?? Thank you to the Blog Fairy for her talented design and Sweet Tea Diaries for hosting the giveaway!!

I hope everyone is having a happy Wednesday!! The end has finally come, Friday is my last day at work!

Updates to follow.................

Did I say One Interview... I meant Two!!

Hi Ladies!!! Well, week one of my 4 weeks is almost over! Last night I received a call from the other company I applied to and had an impromptu interview over the phone. I was less than prepared for this, but managed to b.s. my way through, ahhh how I love political jobs. But, I guess I was ok, they are having me come in on Friday at 4pm, yes TOMORROW!! So, now I have a Friday interview and a Wednesday interview!!

This weekend is a big one! Mr. Bliss is graduating from lawschool on saturday afternoon. After three long years, I feel like our life can begin (granted he passes the bar)..

I just have to rant about Danny Gokey not making the final two. What is going?? He is so much better than Kris, ugh.... Guess I will be cheering for Adam Lambert.

With a Sigh of Relief...

Happy Saturday! Other than maybe having to start building an Ark here on the East Coast, I closed a horrible chapter in my life yesterday and opened a new one today!

Well, after months of being unhappy, this week grew substantially worse at work. So, I gave notice yesterday. I gave 4 weeks notice, I know this is alot, but I do have substantial responsibilites and do not want to leave with enemies. I do not have a job yet (which is stressful), but I have a great interview on the 20th and I have a wonderful Mother who is supporting my decision. After getting over the nauseous feeling, haha, I woke up feeling refreshed.

Hopefully, my blogging will be more stable (since I am currently getting an F) and my life will be happy!!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!

Cinco De Mayo!

Hello All! I am sorry for my lack of posting. It has been crazy. So much has been going!

Mr. Bliss is HOME! He took his last final on Saturday!!! I am so excited!

I was in Dallas for a 4-day weekend. I was a bridesmaid in one of my sorority sisters’ wedding. It was so great to go home and see my friends, I live TOO far away! We ate great food, drank too much champagne and had a wonderful weekend.

On the job front.. I have an interview May 20th!! Send me good thoughts, as I start to prepare. I am so excited. I really hope this all works out.

Since, so many people commented on the dress.. I did buy it and I should have listened. Very cute for a pool dress, but has NO shape. I returned it!

Hope everyone has a happy Tuesday. I will be catching up on everyone’s blogs, I promise!!!

Happy Cinco de Mayo!
