Crossing things off my list

Hey blog land!  Whew…lot’s of things going on with yours truly!  New job, moving, new beginnings, changes, personal growth, etc…etc…

First thing’s first…30 in 30 bucket list!!  I get to cross two things off my list and I’m so happy!  All smiles right now.

13. Make a career change – not really a career change in itself, but a good move for my career.  More opportunities for growth and development, more things to learn, and soon I’ll be climbing that ladder! I was okay with my previous job, but I was just OKAY…not ecstatic, not overjoyed, but I was somewhat comfortable.  Making this change is big for me, stepping outside of my box, putting myself out there, and it paid off!

30. Move to a new city (fingers crossed on that one) – I did this one and I’m so happy!  I’m totally in love with my new city!  Frankly, Columbia was boring me to death! Now I’m in the Queen City (don’t be stalking Miss. Tootie now kiddies, lol). I’m hoping that this city will be good for Mia and myself – more things to do will mean more fun for us.

So, that’s a wrap for the 30 in 30 bucket list…for now.

Recently, I’ve been tapping into my diva side by wanting to shop more and actually take the time to put my outfits together. The one thing about being overweight is that it’s hard to find clothes to fit me.  This being fat thing is really hindering my Diva status, seriously people…this is like a wet blanket on my fabulous parade. Sooooo…back to they gym I go. I was super excited, then I’m starting to experience NC humidity…oh lawd, I need to make an appointment with my pulmonologist cause I’m going to pass out and die from oxygen deprivation! Shit!!!!  I was in true fat girl mode while walking from the gym, I was breathing like I had a Ho Ho stored in my left cheek.  Having Asthma in the south is no good :(

Anywho, have a good night!

Smooches!!!!!

Checking in with you guys!!

Ask me why I’m smiling…

Because…I got a new job today (pending a background check…sheesh, I hope they don’t pull that little drug charge up – just kidding). I’m super excited for the things that are coming my way. It’s in a new city (well, not so new to me) and a new company – I’m just on cloud nine right now!

Smooches!!!!

I have a bang!!!

I decided not to go so short since I'm on a mission for bra strap length hair. So here it is...







This was me before...being super silly before work.



Smooches!!!

What I’m working on…

Last night, I made some pecan bars for my co-workers (baking is my therapy). They came out sooooo good!!!  I was tempted to eat more than one, but I held off because my little butt has been faithful in the gym.  Then, one of my co-workers told me I need to go into business….hmmmmmm….that was seriously on my mind for a little while as a side hustle.  Somehow, life got into the way and it fell off.  So, I’m starting to take this thing a little more seriously.  Time to dig out my Photoshop!  Please be on the look out for….

This is the logo idea that I have so far.  I have a friend who is a graphics design major and she can help me with the rest!

I’m so excited – I can’t wait to birth this dream into a reality!!!

Smooches!!!

What if's...

Although I'm still pretty sad, I'm staying positive about EVERYTHING!!! I'm focusing on finding the best of me and erasing the what if's out of my life and focusing on what IS. I never imagined that I would be here, but now that I am, this is the best time to discover the things that are real and amazing about me.

-I am the sweetest person you will ever meet; I go above and beyond for my loved ones.
-I'm pretty damn funny, I can crack a good joke.
-I'm artistic and creative, once I get those juices flowing.
-I'm driven to be a successful woman. One day I will wear a hat that VP of something...why stop at VP?
-I have beautiful brown eyes.
-I'm a pretty good kisser if I do say so myself lol!
-I am an awesome mother, I would die for my daughter.
-I want the best things out if life. Not necessarily material things, just the best experience possible.
-and finally, I am me-learning to love a happier and healthier Mitzi.




Smiling a little bit more today than yesterday...

Smooches

And her name is ME…

Hey everyone – to say this has been a busy week is an understatement.  I’ve had doctors appointments, super busy at work, and an interview (please keep your fingers crossed for me). I took my braids out and combed out a ball of hair the size of a miniature poodle O_o – let’s just say I am looking forward to a sexy haircut in my future!
Speaking of future, I had to make a very hard decision about mine. I have decided to focus on my relationship with myself for a while – I just need to take care of me.  When I fall in love, I love HARD; I give my all to the people I love but I’ve neglected myself.  So, I’m taking time out to send some love to the number one lady in my life…ME. With things being up in the air, of course I was a little anxious about how it will turn out; but I’m super positive about the decision I made and very excited about re-discovering my love for me.  Every woman gives her all to everyone and everything, but just taking the time to truly yourself is the best thing in the world.

So, what am I going to do? I don’t know, I’m just going to go with the flow. Take her lead and take my time.  I know what is first – that fabulous hair cut I’m going to get!!!  No more braids for this girl!!!!!
Smooches!!!!!!
