The Balancing Act

I’m having one of those weeks where the world, as I know it, is starting to spiral out of control. It’s all me. I know this. I do not feel complete unless I have a million different things going on. I honestly do not know why I do this to myself. However, even I have a breaking point and it’s coming. I tell ya, I feel it coming!

I’m working on several projects at work and I know this is probably what it is going to push me over the edge. I am moving on them, but my superiors? Well, they aren’t moving as quickly and there are decisions to be made which directly affect how these projects go. I was in “go go” mode earlier this week and now I am in limbo waiting for direction.

When my work life is crazy, then I am not able to enjoy the distractions that in fact keep me sane. For example, my reading has continued, but I am reading several books at once either due to a commitment or just me wanting to finish the book. I also have several books on the back burner waiting for their time in the limelight. I know this is a problem for a lot of us… so many books blah blah.

I know that I will be able to catch-up this weekend and things won’t feel so out of control but man, the weekend can’t come soon enough.

Confessions Of A Shopaholic: The Movie

The spa party that I was so looking forward to yesterday was cancelled so I was able to catch a bit of the red carpet action and all I have to say is that some of those dresses were just gorgeous. I didn’t see any outrageous ones this time around. I always wonder about those outrageous outfits I mean, someone has got to tell them that they look ridiculous before the head out of the house, right?

I did not see the actual award show because I went to dinner and a movie with one of my girlfriends. We saw Confessions of a Shopaholic which is based on the book by Sophie Kinsella.

I knew the movie would be cute but I expected it to be sort of silly but you know what? It was pretty good. I thought it was very well done and I love Isla Fisher and Hugh Dancy. I haven’t read any of the books in the series but it was a fun, girly movie and looking at Hugh Dancy for a couple of hours wasn’t bad either.

If you haven’t seen it yet, take a girlfriend and go see it!
