Accomplished...
Do you feel accomplished? What does that even mean? Well this week, my friends, I feel ACCOMPLISHED! Do you want to know why? Well I hope so, if you don't you better stop reading right now! This post is dedicated to myself and my accomplishments that have left me feeling accomplished.
I shall list for you the series of events that have made this possible:
#1. Book Club was at my house this week. Now on a normal month and normal book this would be a normal occurrence. THIS month was NOT a normal month, and NOT a normal book. We took off August, and so it has been a couple months since we have had BC, and the book was my beLOVEd Breaking Dawn! This was NO ordinary BC! (BTW after reading the book for a 3rd time I can now say I LOVE it! I didn't the first 2 times, I liked it, but now it has reached pure greatness, consult me if you need more info on that.) You can ask Ace, I have been preparing for this for a LONG time! I did vampire themed refreshments, and my house was beautiful (downstairs at least!) and I also made a trivia to cover all 4 books! That last part alone took me at least 2 hours of work! Also I had to make up my own for BD, as the only questions I found online were for the first 3 books only. After everyone left that night and I cleaned up everything, I was left with the A* feeling.
#2. Window treatments- check! I have been meaning to get my windows "treated" in my dining nook and kitchen for a long time now. I even picked out the fabric, a feat itself, at least 3 months ago. My goal was to have them done by BC so they could be admired by people, not that many people come to my house (I only wish I was popular). My BFF D helped me out with the idea and she hung up my hardware, oh and she did one of the ties, other than that it was ALL ME! The reason I feel A* for this is because I am one of those sewers that learned by being told every move to make. Following a pattern is even confusing! Even though these were pretty straightforward I was on my own figuring out how to do them. I won't go on, you can see them for yourself!

Here's my rug that's in there just so you can see that the fabrics fit in with it! It played a major role in the fabric and color decision making.

I played around with my picture program and this is the picture negative. I thought it was fun.

Kitchen window.Now all I need it to actually hang pictures and stuff on my walls! It's only been a year since we moved into this brand new house! I just have a real hard time putting holes in my unholy walls!
#3. This last reason I didn't physically do, but it still leaves me feeling A*. Even though I didn't physically do it, I have worked on it mentally and I have spent a lot of time with on prepetory work on it. The "it" I am talking about is my back yard! Now it's not completely done yet, so I have a picture to tease you with, but I will do a real one when it's done.

ConFIDence....
"Oh, I must stop these doubts, all these worries
If I don't I just know I'll turn back
I must dream of the things I am seeking
I am seeking the courage I lack
The courage to serve them with reliance
Face my mistakes without defiance
Show them I'm worthy
And while I show them
I'll show me
So, let them bring on all their problems
I'll do better than my best
I have confidence they'll put me to the test
But I'll make them see I have confidence in me
I have confidence in sunshine
I have confidence in rain
I have confidence that spring will come again
Besides what you see I have confidence in me!"
This is how I feel! I feel like Maria when she decided she had confidence in herself! See below:
Why do I feel this way you ask? Well the reason is that after starting a new job and trying to learn everything I decided that this is my theme song! Let me first explain a little what I am doing to clarify it in your mind. I am working at a law firm. My job title is project assistant/ back-up receptionist. I started 1 week and a half ago, but have only actually worked 5 days total. Today was my 5th day and I have only been training with the receptionist. Now let me tell you, I have a new found respect for people who answer phones all day! We have 26+ attorneys with lots of secretaries for them. We have a handful each of project assistants, and runners. The front desk answers all the phone calls and has to direct them accordingly. Not only do I answer all the phone calls, but I have to sort all the mail, accept all the faxes and sent them out to who they need to go to, enter in costs, write checks (I wrote at least 10 in the 3 hours I was there), adjusts costs, give money to the runners, etc. I about died the first day when the receptionist (I'll call her Ann) told me the next phone call was mine! Ann has been doing this for 15 years, and does it all without thinking! Fast forward to today, I FINALLY get the hang of pretty much everything! I didn't get all nervous every time the phone rang, there were even a few times when 3 or more lines were ringing and I handled them beautifully! I entered in at least 50 pages of costs with ease. I wrote checks in an exquisite manner. After I had been there today for over an hour I turned to Ann and said, "I think I've finally got it!"
