Self Diagnosis

I have studied the DSM and am licensed to counsel but when it comes to diagnosing myself I need a little help from my friends- and in this case my friends at Woman's Health. It seems they have defined what I am battling. My disorder is derived from a full social calendar, a demanding work load with a part time job, Junior League, dating, socializing with friends, and a avid hobby of shopping. I am constantly tired and trying to catch up on my sleep, especially after a late Friday or Saturday night (and in some case Thursday as well).

So what is my diagnosis?? SOCIAL JET LAG! It's a real condition my friends! Read up on it in your January/February 2013 issue. No wonder during this break I have been in a constant state of comatose. My VERY social December has my body all out of whack! I though I was doing a good thing by sleeping in on the weekends, when actually I was only intensifying my social jet lag.

The good news is that there is a cure (whew)! It starts with me keeping a set alarm. If you were to look at my IPhone right now, you would see 15 different alarms set, one for each of my post social needs. Tonight I will be deleting those and sticking to one set time *tear.

Here's to distinguishing social jet lag!

Lucky in 2013

How do I know 2013 is MY year? Oh let me count the ways!

1) I have worn red lingerie for the past 48 hours. I'm told (by my mother via the lingerie department at Nordstrom) is good luck.

2) Three of my friends declared this the year of good things for Savvy!

3) My fortune cookies from New Years dinner at Pei Wei

4) I ate my black eyed peas! A southern tradition!

Bring it on 2013, I'm feeling a bit lucky!
