For me.
Sometimes, you need to do something for you. Here we are, approaching the end of Summer Camp Houston 2012. It’s been a pretty wild ride filled with dancing, eating, learning, playing, eating, not sleeping, drinking lots of coffee, not exercising (at least by my standards), and eating. At this point, I’m wearing a figure flattering…

Big Moment.
Big moment: I just got my first “so I’ve been reading your blogs and you’ve motivated me to get the ole butt in shape” comment. I don’t know if you know how tremendous this is for me. Particularly because the more people I feel rely on me (in a sense), the more pressure I feel…

Exercise Updates
I’m starting this morning off right. I slept in until 5:45, did sunrise yoga on the deck while listening to the surprisingly soothing sounds of the golf course, and am tackling a healthy, balanced, high calorie breakfast. My body is so out of whack from all the food they provide, my sleep schedule is off,…

ConocoPhillips
Alright, guys, I finished my first “week” of work. Two days of tours, seminars, food, and presentations and I’m feeling pretty comfortable with the idea of being here. I have a “New Hire” class and we’re divided into two groups of twenty or so. Half of us are CoP and the other half are Phillips…

June 6.
The day before June 7th, the infamous day that’s loomed over me since November as “the first day of work.” I can’t even begin to believe it’s here or that I’m here in Bartlesville already. Where does the time go? I’m wasting some now in the parking lot of the DMV waiting on them to…

Be kind!
Let’s be honest: I could totally benefit from having this as a poster. I’m pretty bad about giving myself a harder time than is necessary even though I’m actually very comfortable with my body shape and size (special thanks Marilyn Monroe for starting the trend and to other curvy ladies like Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez, the…

Ok.
So day 1 & 2 went swimmingly. I met the couple I’m going to be living with this summer. Not only are they adorable, but their house is as well. My room is a pleasant and calming shade of blue, complete with a full/queen bed adorned with camel, white, and pale blue accents. Camel colored…

Onward, ho!
“The time has come,” the Walrus said…” …to move to Oklahoma. Last night, I spent my last night “living” at my parents house for the foreseeable future. We loaded up my car, again, and got everything ready for the big trip. I saw Erica, Callie, Sigi, her boyfriend (Daniel), and Chance before I left, kissed…
