Bible.
I've been using that phrase atleast 5 times a day for the past few weeks.
I didn't even realize I was doing it until one of our interns told me I say it, like, ALOT.
Better question - Who says that?
I think it's because I was trying to stop cussing but I don't think there was ever a conscious decision on my part to start using Jesus as a supplement to other profanities.
The point is that I've been a bit stressed out with work.
I know that everyone is busy and reading about how somebody else is also busy isn't the best use of your free time so I won't go into the details.
let me just say I'm very happy "busy season" concluded last Tuesday April 17th.
This. year. was. rough.
A growing year.
I know blogs are supposed to be about life, and lately work has absolutely been my life.

Here are some things I've learned about myself throughout the past 4-ish months:
1. I love T-SWIFT. I listen to her songs all day long on spotify. Favorites of the moment: Long Live & The Story of Us. I feel like she sings my thoughts. Anyone else?
2. I equally love Lil Wayne. I won't share my favorite songs... you'll judge me.
3. I have anxiety. I don't think I've ever really paid attention to the signs in the past but they were hard to miss mid-February. Solution: I'm working on it. I've started on some daily vitamins, I try to get out the office once a day and I'm trying to exercise more often.
4. I'm externally motivated. I had a meltdown, i'll admit that. One very emotional week in January. That's when one of our directors told me that I'm externally motivated. She is too... I like feedback, I want to know if I did good or bad and I need recognition. It all sounds a bit self serving but that's what motivates/drives me. I read about it after she "diagnosed" me and I would totally agree.
5. Less is more. I think it's an admirable trait. I always notice when others can do it well.
I also think it's difficult to do.
6. Goldfish and peanut butter is my favorite snack. I could eat peanut butter by the spoonful.
I used to do that in high school until one day my mom took the jar out of my hand and threw it in the trash. Ha.
7. If I stay at work long enough, Casey will cook dinner,
do the laundry, and feed the dogs:) :)
8. This career thing can be rough and nobody tells you how to do it well.
Some days I feel worn out, some days I feel stupid,
some days I wonder why it has to be so difficult.
but I love the days when I can explain something with confidence,
the days I know I made a difference;
I especially love the days I feel myself growing and learning.
I like to be challenged.
and I think I'm learning more about me in my late 20's than I ever could have imagined.
It's interesting and it's exciting.
When I graduated high school my mom made me a shirt that said
"It's all about me in 2003"
I think she was wrong...
It's all about me in 2012.
I know it doesn't ryme, but it's true.
I also think it's difficult to do.
