Quick picture recap!

This is the new building I work in. I park across the street and walk by a Panera Bread or as they call it here "St. Louis Bread Co.

 



This is the office I work in. I took this picture on my second interview! eek good thing they didnt catch me in action



This is my swanky needs to be decorated office. I thought I was going to get a cube. I feel overwhelmed with the space, what am I supposed to do with all that wall space and a door that closes??????



This is  by far the BEST part about the job. I get a access card. I have wanted one of theses since the day I was born. (okay not really) But for some reason I feel official and important having one of these on me.



This was taken on a good day, pre job, Its a cool view of the Arch that I have never been to yet. I'll make it there soon!



And this my friends is the weather this poor California girl has to deal with! I could complain about the cold and odd weather for AGES!!!!! but I do not want to keep you here all day!

 

Last rant I swear! ------On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the hardest and stressful and 1 being easy peezy lemon squeezy, My job is a 15! What have I gotten myself into???

Updating Life

It has been a while since I have updated my blog, I know I have been neglecting it but honestly my brain has hit a block. I have had nothing exciting to blog about until today. The last week I have been job hunting like a maniac going into these high profile job interviews where once I walk in I feel like a tiny person in comparison to everyone else. I completely shut down and become intimidated because I am completely out of my element and confort zone. I cannot allow this to happen to me because I wil never grow in life being intimidated. Anywhos, I sucked it up and faked a big confident and landed a job! WOOOOO ME  I now have a job and no longer need to pinch my pennies and can stop stressing about becoming a low life. I am really excited about starting work. Also we finally bought a couch which I cant stop looking at. We purchased it from Restoration Hardware and it is so pretty and large and so freaken comfortable wow!! The apartment is slowly becoming a home finally and it has been snowing here the last few days. I like it from the inside ONLY! once you place me outside I become one freezing complainer. I will also mention that I had to walk 5 blocks in a blistering tundra too. Yeah I will always be a California girl who adores the sunshine and amazing weather. I am sharing with you a picture of flowers Chris got me for landing a job, the before and after of our living room and the new sofa! Hope you guys are having a good weekend!

Ruffing it on a sudsy Monday

Hope you had a happy new year! We have spent the last 3 days unpacking and getting our life in order. The apartment is slowly coming together, we have the bathrooms, the kitchen, the office and part of the living room together. We still have a ridiculous amount of things to still get done and some how we manage to always come home hauling something up to the apartment if we leave to run errands. Tonight is my first time at a laundromat. The apartment charges you to use the wash and dry in the basement and we figured it would be cheaper to go to a laundromat. Let me tell you it is not that much cheaper. We forgot our detergent an had to purchase dinky box ones from the vending machine which left us short change and a load that will have to wait for next time. This task will take a bit to grow on me, I think it's because I have been spoiled with an in-home laundry up until now. I love the idea of being out an about away from all the packing though. It's kind of like a mini field trip. Ohhhh and how can I forget to mention that I made Belgium waffles for the first time ever this morning. I won't lie they were the BEST!!
