A Beautiful Conference

| Viciously Sweet

Today I was given the daunting task of putting all of the fixtures my company uses in the conference room to be reviewed by the head honchos of the company.

 

My boss naively told me to pin-up on the north side of the conference room. I told him that I may need a little more space than that.

 

Flash forward 2 hours later all 3 walls of the conference room are covered in our fixtures. Actually every surface had fixtures taped on it, besides the glass wall. And even that wall had fixtures pinned up on it’s column.

It was pretty overwhelming to see that many drawings all at once… it actually reminded me of something… something from a movie:

it was like a ‘beautiful mind’ but a lot less exciting

Boy is there going to be a lot of work to get done tomorrow.

NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA BUTTGIRL!

| Viciously Sweet

I have been seeing some weird clothes lately.

Like really really weird clothes.

And although I believe people have the right to express themselves in many ways, maybe work isn’t the best platform for this.

Now that I work in a more fashion forward business, I have noticed that the clothing too is much more “fashion forward” too.

  • Men Dressed like Duckie from “Pretty in Pink.” Check.
  • Women dressed in lace see-through leotards, with a black bra and business pants. It is like Lady Gaga went corporate.
  • A girl who wears rompers made for 3 year olds– her butt has been seen by all! And this has also inspired me to wipe down the seat in the cafeteria anytime I sit there. No, I don’t want to sit there.
  • Women wearing swimsuit tops with mesh shirts over them. Is my shirt see through enough?
  • And that girl who is trying to make wearing a tarp with unlaced combat boots happen. How does she make it up the stairs? I barely make it up the stairs in flats!
  • And my favorite… the petite man who dresses like a 1990s gangster rapper. Including tied bandanna, It’s like I get to see the dantiest Tupac that could ever exist.

Tomorrow I hope that I see someone dressed like a flamingo or like a contestant on RuPaul’s Drag Race. In fact, I’m pretty sure of it.

Cinco de Mayo

| Viciously Sweet

Today on this glorious Cinco de Mayo I want to share a simple story.

My new work is amazing and offered delicious churros today. I being a churro enthusiast took full advantage of this. I may be exaggerating but I literally think all I ate was churros today. My coworker said I had the energy and enthusiasm of a chipper squirrel.

I think that is a good thing.

Anyways Happy 5th of May!

 

Also did you know that it’s Oyster day? I mean while you are throwing back some margaritas and Coronas you might as well throw some oysters your way too!

I’m going to recover from my sugar high now….

The Dr. Pepper High

| Viciously Sweet

Some people are wild about sports.

Some people are crazy about fancy eateries.

Some people covet commercial jingles.

I personally delight in the 23 boastful flavors of Dr. Pepper!

I could drink it all the time. I fear that someday I will be discovered passed out with a case around me and a smile on my face.

Combine Dr. Pepper with my back pain pills and I may even laugh at Ashton Kutcher… or more honestly I will just sing Huey Lewis songs.

Girlish Laughter

| Viciously Sweet

Eeek!

I haven’t posted anything in approximately 1 forever.

So I have been everywhere in most of California in the last few weeks.

It’s been amazing.

And well I can say one thing I don’t think I have laughed as much as I have in a very long time. And it’s so very good to laugh.

And my laughing accomplice you may ask???

My sister the second most giggly person in my family*

*No one can giggle as much as I can. I may actually be made of 93% giggles.

I hope everyone else out there has had at least one giggle today.

And if you haven’t watch this:

It made me giggle and swoon more than once.

My hair is the worst week: Pinterest Inspirations

| Viciously Sweet

Sometimes I try to conquer my bad hair with knowledge. I leaf through the internet’s tips and suggestions…

And then with enough alcohol and coconut oil… I get brave!

And sometimes it doesn’t work out the way I planned:

This happens every time… and then I just go out with my frizzy hair… and a lot of self confidence.
