The Yogurt Bar, Camillus NY

I stopped by The Yogurt Bar in Camillus, NY after work on Friday. It's my Friday treat to myself, and they always have new, delicious flavors.
This week they had their S.U. flavors going on, I loved their setup!

I'm all about supporting Local! Especially local yumminess!
 

Feelin' my Pharrell

Happy Weekend!
I had a fantastic week- on Wednesday I received notice that I had gotten the promotion, new position starts Monday. It was the boost of confidence that I seriously needed, and it has renewed my resolve to rise in the company. The next position is when the big bucks start flowing, that's my next target. Now I'm one step closer.
Everyone is happy for me, except for the girl I was up against. She is no longer "chummy" with me, and tries to catch any mistakes I make.
 Last night, A took me out to a delicious steak dinner at Scotch & Sirloin to celebrate. The food was so good, and the alcohol was flowing- my ass passed out about as soon as we had settled back on the couch.
  Life is good. Don't worry, I don't take it for granted, and I say my prayers for it to continue. I am extremely grateful for everything I've been blessed with the last year and a half.
  On to work on the book!

Orange Peels

Good morning. I turn to this blog today in hopes of getting into the writing groove. I have not been working on the novel so much in the last week, I got a lot of hours at work this week, and I have actually been sticking to a workout regime so I'm whooped by like five p.m and don't give a shit 'bout nothing but chillin' the rest of the night. While I have gotten a good deal better at the "just do it" mentality, apparently working, working out, and writing are still too much for my self to juggle. Also, L.K. Hamilton hasn't updated her blog in forever, so I'm lacking on motivation. There are only so many archives to read through, you know?
  I am so loving that I have today off. I'm all about giving myself a mani/pedi, taking an absurdly long shower, and probably a 3 hour "nap". I might leave the house, I might not. On second thought, I know that I will leave the house b/c I have eBay packages (and one from a good friend :D) waiting for pickup at the post office!!!  Yaya!!!  I scored a pair of knee high boots, dress pants, two shirts, and a cardigan for $50. Tell me that's not a hot deal.
  But I need to get major writing done today. I am researching mortuary science and the preparation of dead bodies for a scene, and it's pretty gross stuff. That scene is a large contributor to the fact that I haven't been writing well- when I have editing to do, I buzz right through it, but writing fresh stuff as opposed to fixing, takes a lot more energy. Someday I hope to be able to finish scenes in the same day.
 I finally have my promotion interview tomorrow. Coming down to the wire, there appears to be two other contenders, as opposed to the original four. One of them I think is deserving, but the other- if she gets it, I'm going to question my own abilities. At least I have new eBay clothes to wear for it! :D
