After a loooong Saturday spent volunteering at a Dave Ramsey live event and a loooong day of relaxing on Sunday, today I’m having a doozy of a day. I’m fairly certain it’s foreshadowing a loooong week (and possibly weekend) of craziness. Cue the Headless Chicken!!! This girl’s gonna be a little off by the end […]
Work
It’s Not You, It’s Me. Wait! I Take That Back…
Color me grouchy, but I have reached the end. Listen – I’m busy – so I’m going to make this short and sweet: I don’t think your child is perfect. I’ve met the moppet – there’s still work to be done. I’m tired of reading your 20th “I hardly ever forward these things, but…” email. […]
Good to Keep in Mind!
My team is in the midst of serious planning and strategizing. There’s nothing quite like serious planning and strategizing to simultaneously energize you and drain your brain. Very odd. Anyway, I was catching up on my reading in the hotel last night and read a timely post by leadership coach, Jason Seiden. It was the […]
Umm…Can Someone Help Me?!?!
I had a bit of a disaster the other week. Well, to be more accurate it really should be called a Giant Flaming Disaster. I was late to work, hadn’t eaten, hadn’t had coffee, was talking on my cell phone…you get the picture. I threw an unfrosted brown-sugar cinnamon pop-tart into our ancient office toaster […]
Do You Know What I Mean?
Have you ever gone through a period of time (maybe short, maybe long) where you felt like this? I have!! Then at some point you wake up and wonder why you’ve accepted Worm Status for so long. (Plus your friends wonder why you keep posting “I am a worm” on your Facebook status updates!) So […]
*Gasp!!!*
That’s just me, coming up for air, from what has been an entirely too busy and too drama-filled week. Because I’ve been (overly) busy, I’ve not had time to do any fun projects around the house or cook much of anything. We’re living on creative leftovers and pizza. I am so ashamed. In a week […]
Crafting Bonanza!
An awesome part about working at an architectural firm? Being able to salvage project samples before they get chucked out to use in future Hayley Home craft projects!!!
Pardon Me
I have a friend who’s a sucker for frogs. She has nearly every tchotchke imaginable with a frog on it. While I don’t share her Frog Fondness, I am a sucker for motivational books. I’m always looking for a book that reminds me of basic life principles that I already know, but somehow forgot. At […]
Mmmm-Hmmmm #2
I’m not usually one to make snarky posts, but today I couldn’t help it. Spotted in the office breakroom: Encouraging thoughtfulness? Helpfulness? Yes. And yes. But also ironic. Why? You ask? Because the creator of the sign (not me…no really, not me) is also the same person that poured out a newly-brewed full pot of […]
