Manic Monday

Soooo it has been awhile since I posted a manic Monday. Actually truth be told I think I only posted one and then never again but mentally I post one every week. So I really don't like Sundays (now I know why people hate Mondays) because coming back to work is no fun, not to mention the past few Sundays I have switched shifts with people so I haven't really had this "start of the week" feeling. It was not a good "monday" though, I got to work to find a nice yellow envelop in my mailbox------INSTANT ATTITUDE for all those who do not work with me let me tell you what this means 1. copy of my review 2. a write up and since I know when review time is this YES it was a write up. This totally put me in a bad mood because if you know anything about me and my job I put my heart and soul into what I do (literally) and I always go above and beyond. SO this write up was for "failure to document" so I know sometimes I miss a log or two but I always make sure it is taken care of asap and if I have already left work I call and how someone complete it for me. So I go back and check the book....Yep! log filled out, go back and look at the date on the right up...Yep! correct date, so WTF am I getting written up for? Now if I truly didn't do what I was suppose to do then I would absolutely take the write and lesson learned...it happens but NOPE work was done and write up was given so I have been upset all day. Not to mention that this manic Monday started off crazy way before I even got to work but at the end of the day whatever doesn't kill me only makes me stronger right?

Peace & Love

Truth is....

.... I am afraid of the dark

.... when I paint my nails I do both feet but only 1 hand

.... If I'm extra nice to you and you NEVER see attitude or sarcasm then chances are HIGH that I don't really like you

.... I'm a hoarder

.... If given a deadline longer then 2 weeks I WILL wait until the last day to get it done

.... I have a closet full of clothes but find myself always wearing the same thing

.... I post more personal feelings/thoughts on twitter then I ever would on facebook (follow me @ladyashley1015)

Stay tuned for more...
Have a GREAT weekend!

Oops!

So I just realized that I was suppose to post pictures from my downtown photo shoot and never did so I just I will do that now. Tyshawn was a great sport during the whole shoot and we had a wonderful time. 3 hours and 264 pictures later it was time for a much needed nap. Want to know more about Ty? Follow him on twitter @royal860 or add him on FB Tyshawn <--- Click there

Enjoy!!

Dreams

Recently I have been having some very "real life" type dreams and it has been a bit spooky. For example I dreamt about a church a few weeks ago. A church I had never seen before with very unique structural features that I had never seen in any church. A few days after this dream I had to go and view the church of a bride to be and it was the same exact church in my dream. I also had a dream about having a conversation with someone about a guy I know last name (which I didn't know) and then yesterday I asked him and it turns out that the name I dreamt about was actually his last name. This new found voyage in dream land freaks me out a little but at the same time it interests me. Not all my dreams are like this and actually usually shortly after waking up I can't remember what the dream was even about unless I say it aloud right away. Now with all this stuff coming true in my dreams I have decided to keep a dream journal. Maybe I can get a bit of insight on what's going on and maybe even figure out some things in the "not so real life" dreams that I am having my looking into a dream book.

*sweet dreams everyone*

Manic Monday

Short blog post tonight but wanted to post before I went to sleep... had a very buys weekend but thankfully this "manic monday" wasn't so manic (yes I know its Sunday but for my work week Sunday is my Monday) however I had today off (which was great) it was a bit of a waste of a day off but its all good. More important is that this weekend I got to do an awesome photo shoot with my friend Tyshawn aka Royal. We were downtown for 3 hours and took a total of 247 pictures (some were just scenery but most were him) I would post my fav but I want to get his permission first and since its 1am I will wait until I see him at work tomorrow. Planning a photo party for later on this month and then 2 weddings in September.... I am super excited about where all my networking and hard work is taking me. Stay tuned for pictures and new blog posts but for now I will leave you with a picture of the flowers outside the office door at work

"happy Monday all" (on and happy 4th of July)

Home-Sick....

Being at home makes me sick... lol not really but I have realized that I get less things done when I'm at home. Some of you may be thinking "duh....cuz you need to go out and run errands" but I mean even with things that most people would do at home....for example I have recently started couponing and I would say that most people do this at home but for the few months that I have been doing it I have never done it in my own home. Most of it has been done at work (ssshhhhh don't tell my boss) especially when I pick up an over night shift.
Not that there is ton of interesting things to do at home that keeps me busy so I don't really understand what the problem is. I also have been doing a lot of arts and crafts and making jewels for my locs and I just can't seem to focus when I'm at home to get it done in a good timely manner. (note to all my readers....I have issues) Same thing when it came to doing homework...never got it done at home. Would go to a coffee house with wi-fi or go to a friends house or do it at work...etc but hardly ever at home.
So with that being said I'm currently not at home so I have to finish up and package some loc jewelry to send of (way later then I wanted it to be)

*smooches*

*pause*

Sooooo I am a little hesitant to write this post but ooohhhh well here goes.....

At almost 1am my phone rang and my first thought was "who is calling me right now" honestly thought it was my cousin or my best friend and to my surprise when I looked down it was neither of them but a smile came across my face (all parties will remain nameless)

After the initial greeting "he" stated "I haven't called you in awhile" and I all of a sudden felt so special. Him and I do communicate (mainly through text) but there is something about a voice conversation that is so more meaningful then a text.
We have known each other since I was 12 and back there there wasn't text and facebook and all the stuff there is today and we use to spend hours on the phone (mainly with me not saying much which has def changed) so tonight was a extra special treat.

We talked for awhile and caught up on recent things and it reminded me so much of when we were younger and I honestly couldn't keep from smiling. I felt like such a little girl with a crush. This guy is such a great friend and I am so happy that after all these years and all of our ups & downs and life in general we are still such great friends. We can talk about life's most important things, life's dumbest things, or be in a comfortable silence all while remaining true to ourselves. Friendship like this is hard to come by and even harder to keep a hold of. So we've made plans to hang out this Thursday and I'm excited about it and looking forward to it (not sure when's the last time I felt this way)

Plus he called me after midnight (which is his "bedtime") so it was a double special moment :)

Alright before I get all girly & mushy....good night!!!!
