I feel like I learn something new literally every day; and that feeling is definitely more than true -- i learn so much daily. Which is a humbling feeling and a wonderful feeling too!
I learn new things about people, relationships, work of course, and other sorts of things ...
I love learning!
Today I'm learning about the new iPhone4 ... stay tuned. I'll share my experiences with pre-ordering at Radio Shack today!
I'm just a little excited.

Women's Hairstyles ... Random, I know!
So I've been thinking ... what is so important about a woman's hair?
Why is it that we feel so inadequate if our hair cut is not the way we want it ... or it isn't fixed the way we expect it to be?
Everyone has different standards and likes/dislikes.
I think it's just all about keeping that sort of thing in perspective: It's fine to care about what you look like and want to present yourself in the best way you can to the community.
BUT
At the end of the day, what matters most?
Always keep that in mind.

Drained
Have you ever noticed how much certain things drain you of energy? For instance, I put so much into my work and it can be so stressful at times, that by the end of my work week I am completely and utterly drained.
So where do you get your energy?
Some people sleep their weekends away and feel rested from that. I've tried it and actually sleeping my whole weekend away, laying around the house and such just leaves me feeling more out of it!
Some folks go crazy busy and plan their whole weekends full of activities. This leaves them feeling like they've accomplished a lot, and in that there is a feeling of worth that gives some people energy to start their new week.
I tend to lean more towards this. However, going going going all the time leaves your body physically taxed which in turn can mess up your psyche. This works well for me often though, because then I'm positive, and adventures that keep me busy tend to give me lots of energy!
This weekend, I have spent a lot of time working, at work and at my apartment, just getting caught up in hopes that next week will then get started off on the right foot. However, I am such an extroverted person, that my lack of interaction with people has left me feeling "blah" LOL! Since I work night shift, I don't see people as much as I'm accustomed to, so on the weekend I enjoy the company of friends and family the most!.
Thankfully my brother is visiting and we've had a great weekend together! We saw the new movie A-Team last night after eating Mexican ... and it was wonderful! After dinner we all just sat in my Camry and "people watched." Most entertaining and hilarious! I think I burned about 9 million calories I laughed so hard. Adrian T. And Alex S. tend to make me do that. Very worthwhile movie though. I think one of my "quiet" weekends is considered "busy" for most people! :) Funny how perspective works.
P.S. Kentucky's allergies are the pits! I am so "clogged up" with my nasal passages swollen and hurting, my throat is sore and I feel so groggy from congestion. I think I made a good decision to take it easy this weekend.
On to Monday!

Encouragement
Ever wondered why it is so much easier for people to discourage you ... rather than encourage? That has always blown me away!
It seems much more difficult for some to smile than to frown! But why? We have so much to be thankful for.
As one of my dear friends Chas G. kept saying to me this morning ... there is always someone who has it much worse off than we do. And that is true!
When I think I have it bad ... or when I think I'm suffering or sad, look around ... there is someone else who needs me to encourage them more!
So my goal for today ... this week ... this month ... this year ... is to just encourage others and to be sympathetic, have mercy and show compassion.
You never ever know what someone could be going through ... unsaid.

What is New
Isn't it funny how fast "new" becomes old?
I've noticed new people, new clothes, new hair styles/cuts, new friends, new pets, new toys/stuff, everything new I can think of gets old ... fast.
However, there are definitely ways that I've personally found to counteract this natural tendency! For instance at my job here at WYMT-TV ... I've found that I challenge myself each day to do at least one specific thing better or faster, more thorough or more positively than the day before.
I know I'm a cheese ball but I have an alarm in my phone that goes off every single day 30 minutes before I go into work that says "be exceptional."
It's just a constant reminder NOT to be ordinary. Ordinary is so ... boring.

Puppy Times
I have a new little baby girl ... my mini dachshund puppy, Vegas!
She keeps me busy, and happy. They say statistics show dogs promote positivity ... I believe it.
She has SO much energy, and that keeps me running which is good for me: being on the overnight shift at WYMT, I need a little buddy like Vegas!
Hopefully soon I will be able to have a "normal schedule" again, but you never know, so I'm just enjoying the opportunities and benefits that come along with working 11pm-7am and counting my blessings, not worrying about my sleep schedule or being awake when the rest of the world is dreaming.
I am thankful for my boyfriend Adrian T. he has been such an encouragement to me through this time!
I'm headed to NC this weekend ... taking Vegas of course, it's Adrian's daddy's surprise birthday bash! He has no clue that we are all meeting up at the Yurt resort getaways on Bear Lake for a weekend of boating, fishing, great food cooked by Darlene T. and friends, laughter and fun.
Many people have never heard of a "Yurt" but it's a "tent" ... well, pictures are worth a thousand words: check it out, most luxurious. And not cheap either! They call it luxury camping, that is what I call camping! http://www.sundogvacationrentals.com/yurts.html
I am so looking forward to seeing everyone. I miss NC a lot, even though I'm enjoying Kentucky life.
It will be great to see Vegas out in the wild, and catch up with Adrian's sis Tiffany, one of my dear friends.
Election coverage for the May Primary is Tuesday ... so resting and relaxing this weekend are a must!
I am missing one of my dear friend's weddings this weekend though, so that is sad :( Sorry Jen T. I will be there with you in spirit! Just can't do everything. And family comes first. All my college buds will be at the wedding though, and I would love to see them and catch up. However one of my best friends Carolyn T. is getting married in June, so we'll all get to be together then, before she moves to Bolivia!
Alrighty, well I'm only one more newscast away from my weekend, and this commercial break is now over ... so its time to wrap up business in the newsroom soon and head to NC!

Constantly moving
Hi world!
Isn't it fun how life changes? Just when you think you're in a routine, someone else leaves, or something else becomes a different 'thing' ...
It's so exciting when life is never dull, but do you ever just crave the control that comes with routine?
I love meeting new people, having new experiences, adventures and being different!
But I miss the same old, same old: what I'm used to sometimes too.
I love the news industry for just this reason: always changes, opportunities to improve, better yourself and learn new things!
