Saturday Spotlight

March 13, 2010

I love when people share books/movies/music, etc that they love, so I thought I would share some of the things I am reading/watching/listening to right now.

First, my new obsession:

the_tudors_showtime

I have spent A LOT of time watching The Tudors on Showtime on Demand in the past few weeks (and I mean A LOT). I am just into the second season and I just love it! It’s a GREAT show!

jason_derulo1

I have been listening to Jason Derulo’s new album. I love it!!! I suggest you check it out.

last song

Nicholas Sparks is my favorite author at the moment. I am not usually one for sappy love stories, to be honest, but for some reason, I am loving his stuff right now (and who doesn’t love The Notebook???). Right now I am ready The Last Song.

What are you watching/reading/listening to right now?

Aloha Friday

March 12, 2010

Yay! It’s Friday and I couldn’t be happier. Today’s question is a bit boring, but since we are having warmer than normal temps her in WI for March (it’s been in the 40’s and even some 50’s), I am curious as to other’s weather.

What are the temps like right now where you live? Normal? Above normal? Below normal?

For more Aloha Friday, head on over to An Island Life.

Works for Me Wednesday: True Lemon

March 10, 2010

works for me wed I tend to drink too much soda. I know that I should drink water, but sometimes the taste is just too boring for me.

I like a little lemon in my water, but it’s not practical to carry around lemons – especially to work. Some time ago, I discovered True Lemon. It’s a calorie-free lemon substitute that comes in a handy packet. It gives my water that lemon flavor without the mess of a regular lemon. I keep them at home and at work.

True Lemon helps me to drink enough water each day and stay away from the soda.

For more Works for Me Wednesday, head on over to Rocks in My Dryer.

**I was not compensated in anyway to write this post about True Lemon. It’s just something that I really like that I wanted to share with my readers. All views are 100% my own.

One of those days

March 9, 2010

stressed-out-woman-working-at-desk

Have you ever just had a moment at work where you wanted to crawl into the fetal position? I had one of those moments today. It happened at a strange time too – I was just getting more coffee and some water. I guess I just started thinking about all I had to do at work and the meetings and the issues and thought, “Calgon, take me away!!”

One of my favorite aspects of my job is that I have a lot of interaction with my customers. Sometimes, that is also the least favorite aspect. It just seems like lately there is not much good news to tell the customer and I dread the calls/meetings that I have with them.

I guess it’s just one of those days.
