I'm on a Two Hour Delay

Happy Wednesday all! I hope you're staying warm where ever you are! I'm enjoying a 2 hour delay because when you work in a small office there isn't a lot of bureaucracy when it comes to closing the office for inclement weather. Why you ask? Is there a blizzard in NC? Nope, we're going to have freezing rain because the temperature is going to get down to 30 degrees. We can't handle that down here because, well, we just can't. #noonecandriveinsnow #reallynotthathard #weonlyhavethreesnowplows


No lie, this was last year.

Alright time for some confessions.

1. It's spirit week at work because we're getting ready for a big Sales Summit, Every day there;s a different theme and today was 80s. I almost didn't dress up because I didn't feel like finding an outfit. Then I realized I could rock a giant sweater and leggings and anytime you can wear leggings to work is always a good thing.


That's Kev's Cosby sweater and he loves it. Thank the Lord that thing is hot as can be because he would wear it ALL THE TIME. #donthavecoffewithcosby

2. I looked all over the house for a scrunchie and unfortunately I couldn't find one. I really tried though, this was as big as I could get my hair. I needed some hot rollers or a perm to make it bigger. Confession, it's impossible to get anything done at work sporting a side ponytail. Don't even try to have a one on one

3. I've seen a lot of posts about why you should embrace the January resolutioners at the gym. I get it, everyone started somewhere. but you know what? I want my damn machine. I hate that there isn't an open treadmill and I hate the people who put their equipment too close at Body Pump class. I can't wait for February. #getoffmymachine

4. I've been looking at all these people who decorate the pages of their planners. Seriously, stickers and washi tape for the days of the week and creating a dashboard for the month page. I'm lucky that I remember to write in the stuff I'm supposed to be doing, let alone decorate the pages. But you know what? I can't stop looking at them and thinking about decorating my planner too. It's kinda like a mini scrapbook that you carry with you AND it's a great way for me to use the stamping supplies in my craft room. #cuteortoomuchtimeonmyhands

5. It's super strange when you're going to bathroom and the cat busts in and proceeds to take a poop in the liter box. There's an awkward moment when you make eye contact then he starts grunting.

6. I love my Monday night Body Pump instructor. She always complements me on my form and Monday night she said she really noticed how hard I was pushing myself and upping my weights. I upped my bicep, triceps and squat weights. I can't move my arms and I crawled up the stairs to bed but yay for pushing yourself!

7. I don't understand why so many people here can't drive in the snow, Seriously, 50% of the people here are from the North, we know what it takes! and WHY does everyone have to get bread and milk??? It's not like we'll be trapped in the house for days. The snow/ice ALWAYS melts in the afternoon.


By the way, my Silence of the Lambs loving employee mentioned today that he had a shed where he "stored things". If I ever turn up missing, look in the shed!

Linking up with 2 awesome ladies today! Head over and show them some love!

  2. Don't get the 'bad' weather fear here either. And SC's highest 'implants' are from PA! Come on people! #hangingHeadInNorthernShame
    We get wiped out on supplies with the mild hurricane warnings. Usually when the hurricane is still in the carribbean.... God forbid you don't have milk, bread and chef boy R dee. Like we eat that crap when it's not an emergency. Grab me some charcoal, propane, and meats in the freezer. I need the olive oil for my marinade! Lemons to squeeze! However. The only thing I miss about the north (other than family/friends) is having a basement. More root cellar storage ;)

    1. So true! I was amazed that there weren't any basements here. We have a giant attic for storage but I miss a good basement!

  3. That 80's look is priceless. I luckily have a gym in my basement that I am using until January is over. Ain't got no time to wait on a machine!! Ha! Why is it always bread and milk. Oh and chicken, like if your power goes out, those things are going bad, minus the bread of course.

    1. I was among the top costumes on 80s day. There was a lot of creativity happening this week at work. I wish I didn't have to brave the gym in January, I'd rather work out at home but I'm so not motivated in my house.

  5. hahaha!! The cat.... awkward! I love spirit week and I love that companies promote some type of fun environment. I have worked in places that do not do things like that and I am so fortunate we do. The 80's are so universal these days!

    1. I went from a fun company to a bank and then back to a fun company. It's a blast! My boss wore super hero tights Weds and it was phenomenal.

  6. Haha we got a snow day today with no snow. haha. I live 45 minutes away from work so I guess they got something we didn't. And I'm not a big fan of the new gym ppl, too. I wish it were April already so they would stop coming. And the kids home from college. There are literally about 25 people in our teeny tiny gym when I get there. And I can never get on the machines I want!! Sucks.

    1. I've seen a bunch of articles about how we should be nice to the people at the gym in January. I don't want to. I'll be nice to you in April, just let me have my dang machine!

  7. hahahahaha! I would think that in Canada you'd be used to treking through the ice and snow. Put some chains on your tires and go to town!

  8. My cat is such, such a jerk. He's actually my favorite out of the 3 but he's a raging jerk. I guess animals can be jerks just like people can.

  9. EXACTLY!!! I grew up outside of Pittsburgh and this is just plain ridiculous! We cancelled school when the wind chill was so cold it froze your skin, that was it.
