Happy Late Thanksgiving Part 2

Ok so where was I.....Alright so my Thanksgiving mini-vacation was pretty good. On The day before Thanksgiving my Supervisor let us all leave early by about 3 hours, which was excellent! I left work and grabbed some lunch with my friends before heading home to take a nice rest for the Thanksgiving festivities (Prior to this I was barley getting 7-8 hours of sleep, working 6 days a week). Thanksgiving day was pretty quite for the most part and we actually had dinner early since some of my family had to actually work that night, sucks to work in retail sometimes, so we actually had dinner around 1 or 2PM and then proceeded to just hang out and chit chat until about 5PM.

Thanksgiving night a few friends and I decided that we wanted to go black Friday shopping, none of us had gone in the prior years. Many of the store were actually opening 10PM or Midnight on Thursday which was great, we had only planned to visit Walmart since they are open 24/7 we figured it couldn't be that bad. We got to Walmart at around 9:30 and it was quite crowded, luckily we found the line we wanted (Video Games) and there were only about 20 people or so ahead of us. We got there right on time too because the line grew quite quickly afterwards. Most items didn't go on sale till about 10PM but the line moved fairly quickly and we all got what we wanted. All in all we were in and out in about an hour tops. Once we left there we headed back to a friends house and around midnight we attempted to get into best buy. When we got there the line was AROUND THE BUILDING and we decided to leave. We stopped at Target and then Game stop before calling it a night. The rest of the weekend was spent hanging out with friends/family. A Buddy of mine flew in from California for the weekend so I made sure he had a good time while he was in Arizona.

Ok so lets talk new blog features shall we. I love quotes of all kinda but those that make you feel better on a down day or put a smile on your face are my favorites. Since I'd like to get a bit more active with my blogging I've decided to post up weekly quotes I gathered at the end of every week. I'm going keep the post short and post about 3-5 at a time, there are way too many quotes out there and I don't want to get carried away. This feature kicks off this Thursday and will be posted weekly on Thursday or Friday of every week.

The second new feature I started working on a while ago but lost all my data when my computer crashed was a playlist. I'm a huge fan of music and believe that music can lighten up your mood and just make you feel better. I started compiling a feel-good playlist that I felt was truly great. I've began re-creating that playlist and will add that playlist to my page as a permanent feature. You can simply go on youtube or iTunes if you do not have the album for the artist and listen or purchase the songs, I would love to post the actual audio but I cannot unforunately. Please send me your suggestions for the playlist if you'd like!

Its Friday

Got through the rest of my week pretty good, despite being semi swamped at work these last two days. So I'm sitting here on a Friday night kinda wondering if I should go out or stay in and watch a movie. My nose is stuffy and in the back of my mind I'm like great I feel like I'm getting sick so naturally i start thinking about being sick. Of course this brings on some thought of anxiety but a buddy of mine called and asked to hang out so I said sure, might as well get out the house for a little bit, clear my head. I've been noticing as things get better with my anxiety, from time to time I will take a step back and say wait everything is going smooth.... are things supposed to be so smooth? Its like I'm sometimes on alert just waiting for the next anxiety attack to happen and I think that can bring on actual anxiety. I let these thoughts jumble up in my head for no apparent reason... Not going to get into detail on this tonight as I'm heading out for a littl...

Pre-Birthday Anxiety

Not sure what was on my mind today but I had another small anxiety episode. Woke up this morning fine and took care of some errands. I returned home later in the afternoon and ate. As i hopped in front of the TV to watch a movie i felt a little "off" and well the rest was history. Thoughts obviously started to race through my mind and I felt anxious, why? I'm not sure. I felt as if I had to get up and go do something or go somewhere. But did i follow through with that thought? NOPE, I remained as calm as possible despite my mind racing and my stomach feeling like someone just punched me. I relaxed myself as best as possible and tried to take control of the situation. Eventually I ended up spending some time chatting with my Grandmother who has always been there for me regardless. And let me just say what a relief it is to talk about your anxiety , it was like instant relaxation. In the past I've talked about it and felt better but today It was great, I've been t...

Mini-Vacation weekend!

Hey everyone, Sorry about my absence around here lately. I've been extremely swamped at work with project after project and long days. I'm excited to announce that I will be going on a Mini Vacation this weekend. Taking a day or two off work and heading up to the mountains with some friends to snowboard and just generally relax! Hopefully I will get some time to blog a bit more. Quotes coming up tonight, stay tuned.
