<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The day to day functions of Social Media baffle me. I have a Twitter, which I rarely use. I have a Pinterest which I love. I just got Instagram yesterday(follow me on either @Emme1022) to look at pictures of my perfect twin nephews, I (obviously) use blogger, and I use Facebook a lot less than I used to. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This morning one of my girlfriends texted me regarding a recent conversation we had about a guy she's worked with on a couple projects. They communicate via email, in meetings, and the occasional work related text message. She asked whether she could add on Facebook him without being 'creepy.' (I'm assuming she texted me because I'm a huge enabler). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My response was standard...she could only add him if she asked him to make-out when she added him...When she said no, I changed my conditions...she could only add him if she emailed him, texted him, and facebooked him simultaneously. Cause that wouldn't be weird at all. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This got me to thinking as to why certain aspects of Social Media have become such a game, or require such an analytic thought process about pushing a button. My theory about social media is similar to my (slightly naive) theory on real life: you can never have too many friends. It shouldn't be a chess match or a cat and mouse game when adding or for that matter deleting someone. It shouldn't be thought of as weird or creepy to add someone you know (and have met more than once). In fact it shouldn't be a game at all, and it's too bad that's what it's turned into.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> Due to the large accumulation of snow, coupled with house/pet/kid sitting, along with my desire to stay off the roads... I'm working from "home" today, while Bella the snow bunny frolics outdoors.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm drinking Hot Cocoa out of a pretty mug instead of my normal black flavored coffee in a (boring) stainless steel tumbler that comes with me to work everyday.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I just emailed one project to an attorney, and am about to start on my second...and hopefully make a dent on a third by the end of my snow day. I'm wearing denim, flannel, and driving shoes, on a Monday. I guess this snow day thing isn't so bad.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I was cranky yesterday. I tried to focus on the positive, and my day did get much better... I kept repeating to myself one of my favorite mantras: "<b>I pick pretty</b>." Today is no different. Here are some "pretty" things I'm wishing for today:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I read <a href="http://www.omaha.com/article/20130301/NEWS/703029983/1685#driver-flings-ninja-stars-in-fit-of-road-rage">an article</a> this weekend about a man who in a fit of road rage followed another driver into a parking lot... Told him something along the lines of "Prepare to Meet Your Doom..." and started throwing Ninja Stars. He has yet to be apprehended, which leads to the obvious conclusion that my city has a secret sect of Ninjas. Awesome. (It also leads me to ponder the obvious faux pas of their sect...why am I not a secret Ninja)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg27ncBukVFwzM-CKG3kQGkYCb7aIuYhLM4gJIBOkMiR4O3Kc1WPVnUpxRqYNycKwt2tm2ZdMYwaGxJT_hFvJ8DBNF_OIPyXz5cKDGIfkXj_E7gVVIZKW2fKsYVVfJau-tastsOu-Odawg/s1600/1331929316415_6541990.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="224" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg27ncBukVFwzM-CKG3kQGkYCb7aIuYhLM4gJIBOkMiR4O3Kc1WPVnUpxRqYNycKwt2tm2ZdMYwaGxJT_hFvJ8DBNF_OIPyXz5cKDGIfkXj_E7gVVIZKW2fKsYVVfJau-tastsOu-Odawg/s320/1331929316415_6541990.png" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In all honesty, I'm in the type of mood that would lend to <strike>making it rain</strike> throwing Ninja Stars this morning. When walking to work, all I could think about was how I hated the sweater I put on over my button down, and maybe I should have worn wedges instead of heels...the fact my coffee was decaf instead of regular (not by choice)...the ridges in my hair from wearing a bun directly on the top of my head that my straightener wouldn't take out....and Pandora shuffle is just killing me... #firstworldproblems, I get it. Plus, like we discussed above: I'm still not a Ninja. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On the <b>bright </b>side:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1) I have the walk through on my house today.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2) I'm meeting a girlfriend for drinks tonight, at a place that has the <i>best </i>spinart dip.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3) My $1.99 Wet and Wild Nail Polish hasn't chipped since I painted my nails on Saturday.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">4) I've worked out 3 days in a row this week (after a 2ish month hiatus that's good)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">5) I saw Silver Linings this weekend, and am still giggling about some of the lines....and day dreaming about Bradley Cooper. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Thanks for Reading...and keep an eye out for Ninjas!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I was the subject of a fashion intervention last Sunday.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It was our quarterly meeting at Ann, and I made the comment that Black, Navy, Gray, and an occasional white/cream are my colors. Aside from a general sense of shock and terror, I was then dressed and styled by a few friends I work with incorporating patterns and color. Really really bright colors. I demurred from purchasing anything at that point, but when I worked last night...I bought a few fun pieces:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm kinda second guessing these pants, but at the same time, I'm kinda obsessed them. My mom's suggestion was a denim shirt on top. I was thinking a white v-neck and blazer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Any suggestions on how to wear these without looking <i>too </i>puffy?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I also bought this...and I'm wearing it today. I love necklaces. This is no exception.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">*I took this picture to send it to a couple girls I work with to prove that I'm wearing the necklace...and bright lipstick. Please disregard the ponytail and no face makeup aside from mascara*</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I also bought a couple dresses (they're both black, although one is patterned). One, I just noticed Kate Hudson is wearing on the Spring 2012 Ann mailing... Clearly I wear it better. (ha) With all this being said, it's glaringly apparent why I never take home a paycheck from working at AT. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I came <i>this</i> close to a meltdown on Saturday Morning. I was in my new home, cleaning prior to closing (because I'm type a, and want everything to be sparkly and stuff before I move...and yes, I'll probably clean with the exact same routine once I move in, and prior to unpacking). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
I was wiping down the cabinets, cleaning the dishwasher, and jammin' to Pandora when I heard a rhythmic sound that was <i>not</i> part of the song. The washing machine (I was running a cycle without clothes) had flooded...that dripping noise--water coming through the ceiling to the main level (and into the garage). I turned off the water, started taking pictures, videos, and thought about crying. I didn't. Instead, I kept smiling, and learned where I hold my tension...lower neck and shoulders. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Within minutes, I had called, texted, and emailed my real estate agent...called and texted my mother...called my dad (who thankfully picked up, and headed over to save the day)....and texted one of my best friends. Within a few hours, my frantic state had subsided and a plummer assessed the situation. It's not the pipes, or the washer, or the hose... Well it's kinda the hose... the hose that wasn't in the drain, but on the floor. So after putting the hose in the correct place, I should be able to wash clothes without wondering if I should build an ark. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Once I got to thinking about everything logically, I'm so glad this happened prior to closing, and when so many people were available to help me...I'm also happy the carpet got a nice shampoo (kidding). I'm stressed about any damage to the carpets, ceilings, walls (which I should know more about by Monday). In all honesty, I need a massage to try and get some of the painful tension out of my neck and shoulders...however since I'm on a saving money kick, I'll probably paint my nails and grab a glass of vino...or two.</span>Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09886011024949671216noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1375895209620305461.post-14521889267410228492013-02-27T22:05:00.000-06:002013-02-28T07:17:29.141-06:00My Bad<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigPWoZBQZG8c07Syj8ZkRew1UtnQVppttCbwiyyyXBz-DkvL7QZ_-WRmCcTLao_gmgPX8Qog1agg5gfdB3gCuiawPeJ3tycWVcslRNAhaJQ2HxpDlI433P4FxND1olQakOBk8nSVZ0FlI/s1600/katespadequote.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="367" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigPWoZBQZG8c07Syj8ZkRew1UtnQVppttCbwiyyyXBz-DkvL7QZ_-WRmCcTLao_gmgPX8Qog1agg5gfdB3gCuiawPeJ3tycWVcslRNAhaJQ2HxpDlI433P4FxND1olQakOBk8nSVZ0FlI/s400/katespadequote.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

We've gotten used to the fact that we see each other a few times a year (usually during the summer/holiday season when she visits home), and then at least once when I go visit her in wine country. Thanks to text messaging, FaceTime, and hand written (gasp) letters our friendship hasn't changed in the slightest.</span></b></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm buying new tires today. (In all honesty, that may be the most depressing opening sentence to a blog I've ever written). My conversation with the owner of the tire place went like this: "You realize I could buy something really pretty with this money...like a purse, or a margarita machine, or a raincoat I've been coveting..." "You realize none of those things will save your life?" So here's what I'm wishing I was purchasing instead of tires today:</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I found the above quote on Pinterest the other day. It's <b>Perfect</b>. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2012 was NOT my year...Especially the last quarter.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've begun this post over and over again, and I'm finally to a point where I'm ready to share...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2 days prior to the beginning of finals I had my first (and hopefully last) broken heart. I still have a text I sent to my older brother right after everything happened stating: <b>"I didn't know I could hurt so big..."</b> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I think all my friends were waiting (some still are) for a meltdown, heartache, or sadness. I was sad. I gave myself <b>one day</b> to be sad. Instead of studying for finals, I cried. I had a massage--which I cried through, I went shopping with my dad, went on a long run--cried during that (which is pretty impressive), went to church, ate Ben and Jerrys while watching Lifetime (and crying)...and went to bed.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The next day I woke up, and life went on. I'm not saying I didn't hurt any less, or that I didn't still have hope, but <b>I made a conscious decision that I wasn't willing for something which was now the past (instead of the future as I hoped) to have any negative effect on my future</b>. As Olivia Pope said on <i>Scandal</i>: "Work helps. So does exercise. Stuff that numbs you, keeps you from thinking too much. Dating also helps, but it also helps to remember that he hates you and it helps to try to hate him too..." A little melodramatic, but I agree with the premise of that quote.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Not only did life go on, but astonishing things have happened. I'm back to being my "old self" as so many have reminded me. I'm ambitious, confident, happy, comfortable in my own skin, outgoing, driven... I've remembered so many reasons of why it is important to love myself, and how to do so. And with this 'new' state of mind, my 2013 so far has been a helluva ride.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I've bought a house. I had dinner with a Supreme Court Justice (more on this once I get the pictures back). I argued in front of an attorney from the International Court of Justice...and she liked me. I'm busier than I've ever been, working more hours than I ever have, I'm surrounded by incredible people, and coming into so many amazing opportunities. I honestly wouldn't trade this part of my life for anything. Life is good. Actually, life is beautiful. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So like the quote says...Hang in there, and astonishing things will happen... <b>I can't wait to see what's next.</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It may seem goofy or naive of me to feel this way about today (especially for those of you who know me in real life). A month or two ago I wouldn't have been so gung-ho about the idea of love. I'm more jaded this year than I was last year...but I don't have any less love in my heart, in fact I think I have more. Maybe it's because I've been in love, and been loved back by that person...and know how indescribable that feels. Regardless of the why...I'm even more in love with my idea of what today is about than ever.</span></b></div>

Happy Friday, TGIF, and all that good stuff!!! I've been a terrible blogger this week. I've been overwhelmed with school, work, Jessup (which is over the day before President's Day)...and by the time I get home most evenings I am completely underwhelmed with any sort of extracurricular (even watching my tv shows). I'll be better next week, promise!</div>

As in I've been lusting after a monogrammed case for months.</span></div>
