A blog about nothing, and everything

I have not been on my blog in a very long time, and you may be wondering if I am still alive. Well, you probably aren't wondering that because the only people who read this are family, and since we seem to email each other 5 million times a day, you know I'm alive. Anywho, I thought I would jump on here and blog it up.. or something.

There's really not much to report. School is still going. I'm thinking about taking 11 credits starting in March. I am not quite sure that I can handle that much school and work. But, I am working on this great project for my psychology class that is making me think I might be able to work it out. So the project is a self improvement essay. I know what you're thinking... "Valeri is perfect, what could she possibly have to improve??" I have realized lately that my life is very stressful, or rather I feel stress quite often and it is affecting every aspect of my life. In the short amount of time I have been researching stress, I have learned that if I put myself if a schedule and give myself specific goals, I can improve my mental and physical state of being. Procrastination, apparently, is a side effect of stress. I seem to procrastinate a LOT. I always thought that procrastination caused stress, not the other way around. I also learned that I need to eat a well balanced diet, which I definitely don't do. It is difficult to juggle everything, or so I think. I am pretty sure it is just me trying to justify the things I don't do that I should. 

Enough about that... let's talk about work! Work has been amazing lately. I have felt more confident, and I have implemented some new practices that seem to be catching on pretty well. I made these nifty folders to help customers keep information, which helps them remember what we talk about. There's a lot to know about TVs, and people can't always remember everything. Needless to say, the folders make it easy for customers to come back and know exactly what was discussed, and easily decide which solution they want. I love it! The other awesome thing about work is that I only work 1 more day in the old store!!!! We are moving!!! I can't wait!!! Thursday is my last day in the old 260, selling at least. The move has snuck up on us so quickly! The store is such a ghost town when it comes to product. It has helped uncover dust bunnies that have been multiplying under stands and boxes. 

Oh yeah, then there's vacation!!! I can't wait to spend the weekend with my family in sunny california, and celebrate 100 years of life! Not my life though, obviously I am not 100... Although I would look amazing if I were! I am going to purdy myself up for the party! I can't wait. I went out and bought makeup... what?! MAKEUP?! Yeah I know... I'm super weird. And, I bought a new curling iron... AND I already burned my forehead with it. Go me! My hair does not like to curl... even though it is naturally curly. But I won't get into that, I'm not that girly yet....

Well, There's my super boring blog!! Hope you're still awake...
