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!

Keep It Moving

Decided to write something about an experience I had this past Saturday. I had a pretty easy Friday at work, it was pretty quite. Friday night I spent at home relaxing, went out to grab some food with a few buddies around 10PM and came back home to hit the bed. Woke up around 9:30AM (Overslept a bit) and did my normal morning routine. Had to visit a client and install some software at around 11:30 so I prepped for that and left my house. Got to the clients location everything went smooth, finished up there around 12:15P and left as I had another job lined up and their location was closing at 1. I must have drove about 5 miles or so and came to a stoplight with light traffic and the light was red. As I'm listening to music and enjoying the scenery all of a sudden I start feeling "weird" and think to myself "this doesn't feel normal" but I realized what was going on. There it was anxiety popping its ugly head up again and I start thinking about what just h...

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...

Past weekend

As I try to figure out what to write, I'm trying to remember what I did this past Friday night since I last posted on my blog. I cannot remember, does anxiety make you forgetful? Sometimes I feel a little clumsy/forgetful. Anyway Saturday I spent hanging out with an old friend. We had a pretty good time catching up and remembering old memories, headed home to get some much needed sleep. Sunday stayed home mostly all day, bumming around the house. Went to a friends house to catch the Colts vs Giants game........wow, the giants were bad. I left at half-time because I couldn't take it anymore and I'm not even a big giants fan!! Monday I was supposed to work but my boss told me not to come in since It was already late and I was stuck at home waiting for the rental car company to pick me up, so I enjoyed a day off and got a chance to start on a new book. Currently I'm reading a book called "Rework" by a company called 37Signals, pretty good book so far. The book ...
