Style edition

I have to say... I don't know that there are any shortcuts to doing a good job, it's all about hard work and dedication that will get you there.

That brings me to, I've been super busy... this is my busy year, but when is it not busy for me. I'm about to start on my budget for next fiscal year, I'm gearing up on requests for congressional funding for projects in the works, I'm working on my new cell build for my landfill, and a fencing project that I just received local capital outlay funding for. So, stoked. These are not small projects; these are gigantic projects.

So onwards and upwards.

5 looks that are outdated in 2025 -

1). Distress jeans - Be grown up and go for chic. No shredded jeans. Literally any other jean is in, wide leg, barrel leg, straight leg.

2). A fedora hat - A good ball cap with your outfit is so in right now, dress fit and casual fit will look good with a ball cap.

3). leggings - I was never a fan of leggings outside of my house but trade them in for wide leg stretchy pants, or wide leg trousers. We still want to be comfortable.

4). A short dress with a short boot - Ugh. what's really trendy is keep the short dress but pair it with a longer boot. Same goes for a longer dress, and a longer boot. Super cute

5). A high-top sneaker - go for the low top sneaker when pairing with outfits. A crew sock with a low top sneaker is in trend.

The beat goes on...

I've been reading up on the JFK files. There's not a lot there that we didn't already know. Or speculate. I might break it down. To be continued.

Happy Birthday!!! 😜

Maybe I'm a hopeless hip-hop romantic

classy woman with a little bit of hood.

I was reading this story on how science confirms the existence of Adam and Eve. Research provides compelling evidence that all humans share a common ancestry, tracing back to one man and one woman. Mitochondrial Eve and Y-chormosomal Adam suggest that every living person descends from a single maternal and paternal ancestor. Fascinating.

Just think if Picasso would have used his full name on all his paintings : Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso ....

and the very end.... Y Picasso... you got to say it strong and hard!!! MAMA MIA.... that is a lot of names of relatives and saints...

Talk about saints... Happy St Patrick's Day. St Patrick is the patron saint and national apostle of Ireland. Since on my dad's side, I have English and Irish heritage.

cirque du so lame

yeah... 🥴🫣

I forgot and ordered a protein bowl, today is Friday. Ugh. I can't eat meat. So, I'm picking all the sausage out. My dog just scored in a big way. Which I have to be careful because it also has green chile. I don't want to burn her butt.

weights... walking.... so good for you.

The old way: eat low fat, eat low calorie, endless cardio... I remember in the 90's when we use to eat fat free cheese.... we were walking around with swollen faces all the time. It was literally plastic.

The new way: eat high protein, lift weights, walk, morning sunlight, 7-8 hours of sleep, and hydrate before caffeine.

One of my chipmunks has started dance class. I am thrilled to no end. She's 3. I told my other son, that I would take his 2-year-old since both parents' work. I would love for both of them to take classes at the same place.

Cleaning out my closet. I don't need 400 pairs of jeans. Or 275 pairs of shoes. (just kidding) But I think the older I get the simpler I want my life. Plus, I'm at the stage of my life where I hate spending money. I was looking for a jean jacket, its springtime, and you don't need a heavy coat, but something if you are wearing a short sleeve t shirt. (a jean jacket is a staple piece) I have 5 in my closet. ugh. I picked the best one, and the other 4 I'm going to give away.

I was supposed to post this pic from the other post (not my last one). haha. I'm happy to report, I don't feel like this... I have rested and relaxed.

If you want to lose fat in 2025.

Why do they make it so difficult. Stop doing bullshit fluffy workouts. With one pair of dumbbells... weight training is the key. Walking, walking and dancing. And show up to your workouts no matter what.

all that crap on tic toc, I mean tik tok…about drinking cayenne pepper and sea salt, and lemon, oh wait... how about chia seeds in water.... that's what one of my workers is doing... Becky's been doing it for 3 months; I haven't seen any difference. It keeps you in this vicious cycle of dieting. Birthday cake protein bars are bullshit, Protein shakes are bullshit... They make your gut explode and you're literally hungry 20 minutes later. Plus, I find that those things increase your sugar cravings.

meat and eggs, for breakfast. Protein and protein. so good for you. Whole foods.... eat like a fricking boss, I'll pass on that muffin break Susan...

my breakfast this morning. I made fresh pico de gallo.

More music ... this was my jam this morning.

Oh, the sky is falling... and what about season 8 of love is blind?

I've been a little MIA. Super busy. (but when am I not). 650-page permit modification for my landfill, review and submittal. Oh, easy peasy. Plus working on various things. My Agenda says it all. I'll post the picture after this.

The other day I went to get a physical with my doctor, and the aid was asking me if I have any of the vaccines, covid, "no," flu, "no," phenomena "no," shingles, "no," do you want any? "no.... no I don't." Then I see her writing furiously.... she's probably writing... "she's one of them".

I don't get offended by things that aren't true, or things that I already know. At the end of the day, I know who I am, and I know what my morals and values are.

Let's dive into Love is blind season 8. Loved ... Madison, Meg, Molly and Monica. So many women with "M" names. Then Lauren, Taylor, Sara and Virginia. The men, Alex, Alex, Alex, and Alex. Just kidding. They all looked like Alex's. Just different fonts of Alex. Just one Alex, Ben, Dave, Daniel, Devin, Joey, and Mason. Whew!! First off let me say... I love Joey... he's kind of a goober... and I say that kindly... but I love him... a modern-day Valley dude from Minne...s..o..t..a... and within the first two episodes, him and Monica hit it, they were engaged by the second episode, now I'm unclear how many days that is in pod life. Virginia and Devin... so cute couple. There's Dave and Lauren... something about Dave screams... sketch... Sketchy vibe. After meeting Lauren, he interviewed all the couples trying to validate his reasons for choosing Lauren and dissing Molly.... asking each one of the couples if they are having sex. Daniel and Taylor.... 24 hours after the pods... they were wrapped up in controversy called followgate. If you don't know what I'm talking about, Taylor had thought that Daniel knew her and followed her before the show started two weeks before the pods and then unfollowed her. She felt it was kind of creepy if he already knew everything about her.... that would have been a weird situation. Which he did know a lot about her love for Christmas. Daniel said negative, but still wanted to go to Honduras with Taylor, and just like that forgave her, after she checked an app that showed who follows her and who unfollows her on Instagram and she was wrong. Daniel never did it. (who has time for that shit). Madison was my favorite (at first). She was in a thrapple with Mason and the original Alex (the only Alex) but then she had to start drama in the girl's house with Meg who was also dating Mason as well and literally ruined it for Mason and Meg... none of them ended up with each other. Madison truly wanted Alex, but Alex after hearing what Madison did to Mason from Mason's perspective, said no to Madison, and probably dodged a bullet. (wow is your head spinning yet)? Off to Honduras with five couples. Daniel and Taylor, Virginia and Devin, Joey and Monica, Ben and Sara, and Dave and Lauren. I just realized I didn't talk about Ben and Sara.... They immediately had drama returning from Honduras and once they were able to get their phones back. Some social media chick was talking about Ben, then Ben said he knew her, but never dated her, then ended up saying he ghosted her after he kissed her but doesn't remember why. bahwahahaha. Oh my god. Problems.

Music while you wait.

I'm a nostalgia girl.

I'm such a nostalgia girl, I love the idea of typing on an old typewriter, talking on an old rotary phone, (which I have done in my era), and writing letters and sending in the mail. Life seemed simpler, or we would like to think it was simpler times. When I see old pictures, I just melt. I love the roaring 20's. I've read books, letters, on Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald. That's why I think I'm an old soul.

For Christmas I sent my mom a series of letters, it's called the flower letters. It's a series of letters that unfold over time and it reads just like a book. She gets two letters a month for a year. She absolutely loves them.

I have a lovely older friend, that was telling me stories of when she worked for the phone company. She was an operator. I remember when I was younger, and if someone's phone was busy for a long time, you could just call the operator and have her break into the phone call. Haha. Any way's my friend was telling me that they had to wear short skirts in the 60's to work. It was required. Crazy times.

I started watching "Mad Men" again. I think I started this show like 5 different times, but I want to see it through, this time.

and today, well it's Friday, suddenly everyone has the flu in the office, and there are not that many people at work. I can't remember the last time I actually took off when I was sick. Hell, I still come in when I'm sick. Probably because I have so much to do. I'm last of the Mohicans. I was made tough.

Happy Friday.

January felt like a year... but we made it.

I am where I am today solely because of my hard work and merit. I understand my job, and I get things done. If I held my position just to fulfill some quota, I would not want that job.

I've been following the crazy lawsuit involving Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively, and I can’t help but wonder—what is going on? I know what is going on... I'm just amazed at how far a person will go, when they are wrong. (I experienced this)

Fraud, waste, and abuse are serious issues, and we have an obligation to report such wrongdoing. This is actually why I got fired. I witnessed my ex-manager making purchases and expenditures that only benefited him. I reported this to the State Auditor's office because, as a public employee when you only suspect fraud, waste and abuse, you are to report it. When you see it that's a whole new ball game... As a taxpayer, I don’t want my money spent on unnecessary projects like a new Sesame Street show in Iraq. I would prefer my tax dollars be used to address the pressing issues here at home, like fixing our government.

One of these days I will tell my story. It's been a long road.

Phew!!!... thank God our diet cokes and McDonald's won't be banned.

hahaha. I have to laugh. First of all, I don't drink diet coke or any coke for that matter but for those people that do, and yes, I order a cheeseburger every now and then from Mcdonalds.

People love to create chaos and stir shit up.

You know what I think... People are losing their damn minds.

Growing up we were such skinny kids, my brothers and sisters. None of us had weight issues. We also played outside all day, were in sports, and dance, and did stuff. My mom would cook every day, whole foods. We never went to eat fast foods, but maybe once in a blue moon. I'm talking once every 6 months. So heavy kids were in the minority when I went to school, maybe one for the whole school. This country needs to get back to healthy. I'm all for that. Too many politicians making money off of vaccines and pharmaceutical companies, it's insane. Let's create obesity, then let's create a drug to tackle obesity. What a gimmick.

I can't believe we are still in January... this month is never going to end.

I think I look like Justin Baldoni with this filter.
