Scenes from a Thursday morning.

Christmas trees! In my office and at my house. I love this time of year.
OOTD. Look! I made an effort today! And on a Thursday no less! Navy blue and cream.
I woke up with the beginnings of a cold yesterday. two-o-nine and I were FaceTiming last night and I could feel it taking hold. It’s trying to get me. I won’t let it win! I’m fighting this with everything I’ve got, including a Chai Tea from the campus Starbucks. The heat feels good. **Bonus photobomb by my eldest nephew, Jonathan.
In other news: I think our cleaning lady is OCD: She twists the doorknobs in the hallway by the office back and forth 8-10 times when she opens doors. And there are A LOT of doors in this hallway where she cleans. The noise is slowly driving us all bonkers.
Random question: Before I quit OK Cupid, another guy asked to meet next week. I agreed and he gave me his number. I feel fairly ambivalent about him. Should I even go? Or just let it go? Any advice Tumblr? I have yet to text him.
Secret Santa gift exchange and potluck tomorrow with my dear co-workers. I should probably finish shopping. Whoops! There’s nothing like a deadline to light a fire under me!
Someone in a small Nebraska town is going through my blog, page by page. They must be horribly bored by now. I’m sorry you thought this might be exciting. It’s not. It’s just the musings and photos of a pretty normal girl.
I have been at work for 3 hours now and my phone hasn’t rang once. I could use a nap.
I’m doing dinner and a movie (Mockingjay) with my friend Keith tomorrow. We’ve gone to see the other 2 Hunger Games movies together, so now it’s a tradition.

Good news! Tomorrow is Friday. We’re nearly there friends!

I’ve been lurking

Not too much of note here lately.

Got my steps in before noon today. That means I was on the treadmill at 4:55am for 3.5 miles. Who am I?
I’ve been editing more videos for my friend, which tends to eat up much of my free time in the evenings. However, my goal is 10 videos and at $100/video that equals some good money for Christmas and my credit card. Suffer now, no more debt later.
I’m dog sitting this little princess, Lola:
We went for a 1.5 mile walk last night after my 2 mile run. Then she played ball (by herself!) for a bit while I edited. She’s a sweetie, and goes home to her momma tonight.
The weather here is gorgeous; 77 degrees, sunny and pretty much Fall Perfection. I’m lovin’ it.
Some people are creeping on this blog. All the Omaha hits, 1 in particular! I’m lookin’ at you Creighton University. Tell me who you are. I won’t bite (hard). I just want to know who you are. (I have my suspicions. PLEASE don’t let them be true!!)
I’m going to the Nebraska Football Game on Saturday against Rutgers! For FREE! I’m excited!!! Thanks to my awesome mom!
Weight Lifting Class at the gym tonight. Gotta go pump some iron!

Have a good Tuesday Friends!

It’s nice to be needed

My former boss at the Ocho texted me over lunch today. The new assignment editor (my dear friend!) started today and they needed to make some logins for her into the newsroom software and internet updating software. When he asked the Engineers to do it, their reply was “uh, Melissa always did that.”
So former boss asked me to walk him through doing it. I tried to help over the phone, but, (imagine this!) the boss doesn’t have administrator privileges so he couldn’t change the system. Awesome. I did, however, make her a web login from my new job location. Love that.
Then a reporter texted me, asking me for my former roomie (the state Senator’s) cell phone number for a story. I obliged. Good stuff.
Makes me feel warm and fuzzy to know that even though I’ve been gone nearly a month, they still (kinda) need me. 🙂
In other news, I need new running shoes, stat. Mine have just under 500 miles on them and Oh boy, can I feel it! There is no cushion left. I’m making an attempt to get those this week.

That’s all I got people, have a good night!
