Well, I've been sick + Half The Sky Organization

I haven't been deathly sick or anything, although since I continued to work I felt like I might die (I hate serving when I'm not on top of my game). Needless to say, every aspect of my "From Hot Mess to Organized Challenge" has fallen apart and I need the motivation to jump back on my organized / not hot mess life. Anyone want to give me some extra hours in the day to do this??

I hope you've all done better than I have. Did I mention that in the midst of my sickness and still working delerium I went to a job interview and I have a second one today for the same company. At least my blog hiatus wasn't out of laziness [which it has been in the past]. But blogging makes me feel better, I need to remember that. 

Today's going to be a short one, and a rambling one, like my blogs of the past. 

I stumbled across this image in an email this morning and had to share it and the link to its movement - Half The Sky. 

Happy thinking, Warrior Queens! 

P.s. Ariana is going to be partaking in Live Below the Line again and will be guest blogging! Keep your eye out :)

From Hot Mess to Organized Challenge: Week 4

Originally, I was going to post a recap on this challenge and miraculously show you how my life is organized in just one month. Then I realized that no amount of effort is going to take away the fact that I am a hot mess. I need to just embrace it. I simply enjoy doing and thinking so many things at the same time that I will always be a little bit of a hot mess.

However, I have made some major improvements in my organization that will hopefully stick. So instead of feeling bad that I'm a hot mess [which I was], I am now embracing the fact that I am a hot mess, but also embracing the part of me that loves to have things organized.

From Hot Mess to Organized Challenge: Week 3

I hope you have had better luck keeping your car clean than I have. It technically is an accomplishment since there is not very much in my car, and no trash but there still is a slight mess. My big problem is that I work 6 days a week and keep my work clothes in the car. Often I change in the car too, so I have about two outfits in my car. That's better than before!

This week, I wanted to tell you about how I keep my eating habits organized / healthy-ish, considering I work at a restaurant who mostly sells wings and other bar foods. The trick [for me] is to eat something healthy for breakfast.

From Hot Mess to Organized Challenge: Week 2

The weekend before last, the fiance and I took what we called our "One Last Big Adventure" before spending all of our money on wedding stuff. While we were gone his dad decided to give my car, Daisy, some TLC. 

I call this part "Being Forced into Keeping My Car Clean and Looking Less Like a Hot Mess."

I always try my best to take care of Daisy mechanically speaking. I get the tires rotated and change my oil and filters when they're due, etc. But I am horrible at keeping my poor Daisy clean - interior included. Let's just say that my car is a mini example of my bedroom.

While my messiness may be a bit extreme in my car, I know I am not the only one with a messy car problem.   Under duress [aka guilt that my future father in law saw my messy car and cleaned it], I have come up with a system for keeping my car clutter-free.
