So much radio

Now that I have ventured out of my cubicle to Minnesota, I get to drive around to all different doctors offices. This means that I listen to the radio much more than I normally would. Because I have heard the top 40 songs about 100 times each I will share with you my top five favorite songs at this moment.

In no particular order they are...

1. You Found Me- The Fray
2. Love Story (the fast radio one)-Taylor Swift
3. Feel that Fire- Dierks Bentley
4. My Life Would Suck Without You- Kelly Clarkson (I do love that Kelly is Back)
5. Sweet and Low- Augustana

I also am obsessed with 2 cds at the moment as well. They are:

#1. Fearless:

I have recently become obsessed with Taylor Swift and like her new cd even more than the first one! I would def recommend buying this if you don't already own it.

#2. Jersey Boys Soundtrack

I realize that this is an extremely random choice but lately I just have been loving it. I think because it is so different from all of the music on the radio and a fun break when i am driving.

So there you have it...my current radio faves. Let me know what your favorites are!

BBRRR!

It's cold up here! Every morning when I wake up I check weather.com to determine how many layers of clothes that I am going to wear for the day. When I woke up this morning this is what I saw:
In case you can't read it very well, the actual temperature was -7 but it feels like -18. Let me just say that whoever invented hand warmers is a genius and I am SO lucky my friend Lauren seen me a ton of them!

So Many Movies...

There are so many movies are out or that are soon to be out that I am dying to see. Here is my list of movies that I must see:


#1. New In Town:

I mainly want to see this movie because it is very similar to my life right now! I can definitely relate to the picture above...that is me every morning.

#2. Confessions of a Shopaholic

This is probably last on my list but I still think that it looks cute.

#3. Bride Wars

So, I actually already saw it but I really liked it so I thought it should make my list. Also, the ending is not very predictable which i loved!

#4. Revolutionary Road

Most of you know about my recent obsession with Titanic, so the fact that Kate and Leo are back together in another movie automatically makes me want to see it.


#5. He's Just Not That Into You

This is probably the movie I am looking forward to the most! There is a ton of big names in the cast and the previews just look so good.

So there you have it, my top 5 movies so far in 09. Let me know if you have seen any of the movies that are out and your thoughts on them!

Minnesota

So for those of you who don't know, I am in Minnesota for the next month for work. I got the opportunity to go out and talk to docs in person so here I am!

The weather here is a drastic change from Florida to say the least. Last Thursday was the coldest day Minnesota has had in 5 years...crazy i know! I have never seen so much snow and ice in my life, so this is definitely an experience for me.

The good thing is that the people here are SO nice! I absolutely love all the docs I chat with...it is even better to talk to them in person rather than on the phone. I even made friends with the hotel staff. I chat with them every afternoon about my day and they even sent me a dessert plate to welcome me!

These next couple weeks are going to be an adventure and I will try to keep you all posted. So for now I am signing off from the twin cities!

Christmas, New Years and everything in between

Christmas with my family was a little different this year, but just as good as always. It was my first Christmas to not be in Texas because my whole fam came to Florida. We spent Christmas eve and Christmas day in Jacksonville, but then headed to Orlando to one of my families favorite vacation places in the world...Disney World!

We got to go to all of the Disney Parks and Universal Studios as well. I am proud to admit that I did ride all roller coasters in Disney World (i know that are not that big...but they are still big for me). I am obsessed with the new Toy Story Mania ride too! My fave Disney movie already is Toy Story but this ride is just so cool. It is 3D and you get to shoot things for points!

Disney was packed for the most part but thanks to a little "disney magic" from a certain someone we didn't have to wait in any big lines at magic kingdom! It was spectacular!

I loved getting to see me family for almost 2 weeks and had such a wonderful break!

Best Work Day Ever!

Today could quite possibly be my favorite day of work so far! We had an office potluck and then chinese gift exchange. All of the older people are back in the office so we had a total of 30 people which I love because the office is always busy and there is never a dull moment.

The potluck was AMAZING! It reminded me a little bit of first grade when all the mom's have a christmas party for the kids, except if was in my office and we are old enough to cook for ourselves. Today I ate as much as I did during Thanksgiving and it was glorious.

Then, the best part of the afternoon was the chinese gift exchange. The limit was $20, so some people bought nice gifts and some people bought some really random gifts. Since I work with all sales people, everyone had a comment about every gift and when people didn't love what they got, they tried to sell other people on why they should steal it from them. It got a little intense.

Originally this was the gift I picked:

I figured that nobody would steal this from me but I was pleasantly surprised when the 25th person to pick did! I was SO excited to get rid of the robot and ended up with 4 dvds...best gift by far!

Here are some of my favorite gifts from today:

a leopard comforter

Rock Em Sock Em

$20 worth of toilet paper

To end out the day we all went around to everybody's cubes and played with the games we got...and I was rock em sock em champ when i played :) I love my job!
