Nail Polish and Pens

It is 6:30 in the morning, the alarm goes off. You hit snooze, it is so warm under the covers. 15 minutes passes, and that is 15 minutes too soon. You wake up in a hurry, try to find the cleanest thing on your floor, because lets face it... that is where all the clean and dirty laundry ended up. You slap on some make up and go out the door. 

If I had 1 extra hour in my day, and 1 less hour at work, I could get everything done outside of work. How come my proficiency in my work cannot transfer to my life? Oh I know... it is because I am tired. Who knew being an almost 25 year old young single lady could be so difficult? It really isn't, but you have so many things going on.

Do you even know what goes on in my mind? Let me give you a snippet, without a ton of detail. I wake up, think of how badly I do not want to wake up. Then I think about what to wear and how to do my hair and makeup. I get to work and it is a discombobulation of manager requests, project, and emails. Finally when I think I have a moment to breath and do something for myself, work is over. I go home and think about how badly I do not want that cookie, and get ready for the gym. Then there is the mentality of doing my religious duties, cleaning my room, my house, and dating! Really... is there any time in the day to just go home and read a good book? No. 

I am not sure how mothers do it, because my day is pretty much consumed by thoughts of work, life, boys, and home responsibilities, and family obligations. 

I barely have time to paint my nails and go get a new pen at the store! This is all in the life of a poor girl in a cooperate world.

Let Me Talk About Podcasts

Let me talk about podcasts... If you have been living under a rock - podcasts are a thing. I am pretty sure that they have been around since the birth of the iPod.  So why am I talking about podcasts? Well I have never really been one for listening to podcasts up until this year. Some of you (my -4 readers) may have your hesitations about them too.  Here were some of mine: "Ugh I don't want to listen to people talking all the time". "Music is life!" "I don't even know what to listen to!" Well as I have gotten older - I find myself listening to "good music" which is the same stuff I listened to in college and way before. I found myself in a time warp. It was either my old school college rap, boy bands, techno, and all that. I like alternative rock, but this new stuff like Taylor Swift is killing me.  So I started listening to books on audio, and when I did not have money to purchase another book on audio or fi...

Who am I?

Lately I have been contemplating the number one question we all have. It happens to everyone and various stages in our lives. WHO AM I?  You know the basics: I am - Adriana, Single, LDS, Master's Student, I like to read and write, I love my family and my friends.  A very generic Twitter "about me" - identify yourself in 160 words or less.  But who are you deep down, what do you like to do?  I am Adriana, and I am Single, LDS, and a Master's Student trying to further my career, date, and also obtain new hobbies like writing and developing new interests. I belong to a book club where I get to read extensively and broaden my genres of books, and I also am attempting to write a book and perhaps publish it on Amazon's publishing page. That is a more in depth about me.  As we go on through our lives we always want to change the mold.  I think about my parents. Here they are in their 60's and deciding that they want to change their f...
