I never thought that I would feel like I enjoy school more then being in the real world! I graduated with my Bacholer's in May 2010 and the past year has been an interesting but crazy one! When I graduated I did not have dreams about starting my career, my goal was to get my wedding over and my marriage started! Which we have as of November 6, 2010! And since I graduated I have worked at 4 different jobs! Kohl's last summer, then one of the jobs I am currently at which I love, David's Bridal for a month (too emotional for even me), and the 2nd job I currently am holding down.
You may be asking so what do you do? Well, I am an Administrative Assistant at my church, and I work retail at the only speciality running store in the Peoria Area, Running Central! (Psst I haven't ran in 4 1/2 years!) And between these two, part-time jobs I feel like I'm a chicken running around with its head cut off sometimes!
However, working the two jobs, does allow me to have a day off during the week to have a day off with the hubby, which I am very grateful for, but my day off are Sunday and Tuesday (I work Mondays). I think I'd almost rather have a full class load and have Friday evening through Monday morning off again and deal with the homework! The perk though is NO HOMEWORK!
Does anyone else miss school too?

The Lady Cave
It is official, the office is now my "Lady Cave"! All it took was me asking and demanding that this is what I wanted and this was what was going to happen! The office is now clean and pink! Below are a few before and after shots. Also, I tried using my fancy camera and for the before shots I could not remember how to zoom out. Oops!

| The new entrance! |
 |
| The blogging corner. |
 |
| My reading chair and my sewing table (very out of practice with sewing). |
 |
| The closet! Double doors! More like craft and seasonal storage. |
 |
| More of the closet and a few of my obsessions! Shoes and Vera Bradley! |

When did playing make believe become not okay?
When did playing make believe become not okay?
Seriously!? What is wrong with grown-ups playing dress up and indugling in their daydreams by dressing up and acting them out?
I loved playing dress-up and make-believe! And I feel that college took away my ability to think creativitly. The sad thing is, is that I majored in ag communications with the dream of becoming an advertising creative! My mom has said that when I would play by myself (which rarely happened) she couldn't tell how many kids were in the basement though she knew I was the only one, because my older brothers and sisters were at school. I used to be able to carry on several different storylines in my head and play them out, granted with no one watching, either with my fingers, my own body or with Barbies! I loved playing with Barbies (I had Barbie before she tried to go all Bratz Doll and got all creepy looking! That is a whole other ranting that will most likely come out), I remember in High School, my girlfriends loved spending the night at my house because I still had all my Barbie stuff out for my nieces and nephews to play with. We would be up until late at night playing with Barbie's at 17-years old!
I think that as we age we lose our ability to daydream and make-believe that all things are possible in our minds. And they don't need to be the same daydreams or make-believe stories we had as children but we need to allow ourselves to indulge and act like the children we wish we still are!
Hopefully, I will be able to regain my creativity! Life and reality can be stressful and sometimes we need to escape to a place where no one find us...like our own Neverlands!
