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!

Goodbye 2012, Hello 2013!

Happy New Year Y'all!

End of 2012

Life is about taking chances. It's putting yourself out there while you'd rather be in bed. Smile, The Lord has given you this day. Embrace those around you, they lift your praises. Blessed are those who love you, and you love them.

Quote-o- the day

You say I'm lonely. I say I'm fiercely independent. You say I'm unmarried. I say I am unwilling to settle. #Perspective

My END of the year resolution

Let's face it, each year we make all these "resolutions" or promises to ourselves to be a better person or to achieve some lofty goal. We try very hard the first two weeks of January to make it happen, but after a few weeks, we get bored, are tired of the insane amount of people at the gym, and slowly merge back into the flow of our old routine. I have been guilty of this since about kindergarten, which was oh- 25 years ago! 

So after being inspired by some commercial (possibly a car dealership) about making things happen at the end of this year, I decided to write this blog. If you think about it, a End of the Year Resolution is the perfect promise. You have 25 days to make this happen, with very little time to fall off the wagon. Plus this year at midnight on January 31st I will have met a goal and have something to celebrate! 

Now for the fun part, to lay out my resolutions for the next 25 days. 

Resolution #1: Not be so hard on myself during the holidays. I will accept my fabulous single self and not allow society (or my family) to make me feel anything less then the amazing 30 year old woman I am. 

Resolution #2: I will not eat my way through the holidays. I will continue to count my ww points each day AND walk/run at least a mile. I know with holiday cheer comes lots of holiday cheers-ing for me and my friends! I won't be tardy for the party, but I also will not gain any poundage during the fun. 

I'm sure there are many other awesome goals I could make for my End of the Year Resolution, but hey lets face it, I want to be able to actually keep these promises to myself. 

Small, obtainable goals in a short amount of time... Who's with me??? What are your end of the year resolutions? Bring on 2013!!

Things I Am Currently Over!

Things I am currently OVER!

(Yes, this is the opposite of a blog containing things I am currently obsessed with)

 

In no particular order:

• When they play "All the Single Ladies" at a wedding- we get it, I'm single. I don't need the entire wedding crowd acknowledging this.
• My cable not automatically syncing with my tv.
• Unhappy people.
• Ads on Facebook
• The static that was in my dress all day... I can still feel it.
• Stores playing Christmas music before Thanksgiving was over.
• Junk Mail in the form of email and physical mail.
• Taylor Swift acting like she is "shocked" that she won a award.
• Mispaired socks
• Match, Eharmony, and 10 other dating services constantly sending me emails to join.
• Nutella... yes this is a shocker for me too.
• Real Housewives of Miami.
• Feeling cold.
• The neighbor above me...talk about a 10,000 elephant walking on top of your head.
• Groupon...where did all the good deals go? Enough with the massages and facials already!
• People judging other people.
• Eating healthy... lol
• When you actually attempt to go to the gym, and you can't find a parking spot.
• My tv shows taking a hiatus during the holiday season.
• The fact that wine has calories.

That is it for now...
