Productivity at an all time LOW
In this episode of Today at Work (last hours before 9 days off EDITION), I have done the following:
- touched up my nails.
- trimmed the dead ends off my hair with office scissors.
- listened to various Boyz II Men tracks (circa 1992).
- decided Wayna is my favorite.
- practiced signing my autograph. may or may not have thrown a couple Mrs. Leah Bacons in there for good measure.

Tumblr Buddy, will you MARRY ME?!
Getting my package last night made my day! Thanks for EVERYTHING! You’re SO sweet! (I am sorry that I forgot to take photos until I got to work this morning so PLEASE excuse the fact that they are IN my car and with a camera phone….I was eager to get them up TODAY!)
I can not WAIT to use my bath salts every, single, DAY over the holidays! And I’m literally eating my sour...

CHRISTMAS CARDS
Dear IRL Friends,
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed receiving all the mail with photos of you and your “hubs”, or you and your puppy, especially the ones with the kids on the front stoop. HOWEVER, I’m feeling a little left out as I am dating anything with a pulse single, and thank Jesus still able to drink for the next 9 months sans-offspring.
So, in order to even the playing...

(Good) Crying at Work
Who knew things like that exist?!
A little known secret about me: I’m not actually 100% stone cold bitch. A solid 4% of me is such a sap that she cries when she’s happy.
So, I just got Christmas cards from several coworkers today, including my Manager and my Director. I’m BLOWN AWAY by what they wrote…to the point that now I’m all teary. I know I work at this...

A little bit country, a little bit rock n' roll.
It’s true. I’m a little bit country and a little bit rock n’ roll. When it comes to music I listen to it ALL.
But today, today I’m all Wranglers and Boots cause I just procured my FLOOR SEATS to the “Brothers of the Sun” Tour.
That’s Kenny Chesney AND Tim McGraw!
To make it even better, I’m going with one of my favorites. The girl who grew my...

Tick Tock
I’ve never been a “watch person”. They tend to give out on me and I probably haven’t donned one in 10+ years. Lately they’ve caught my eye more and more and I’m thinking of giving them another shot. These are my two “maybe” pieces.
1- (the favorite) I know the white watch thing is WOAH overdone….but this one is different. I love it.

True Confession(s) Tuesday
- I can fall for someone based on their taste in music alone.
- I actually yelled spoke to the alarm clock this morning. It went a little like this: “ALRIGHT! Alright. I’m up. Are you happy?!”
- I’m about to go down to our cafe’ in 20 minutes and eat all of the a generous portion of eggs and potatoes slathered topped in Texas Pete.

Work Convo
Setting the stage: Sitting at my desk at work, touching up my make up....male co-worker walks up and catches me MID-Eyelash-curl...
Co-Worker: What in the hell is that? And what are you doing to your EYE?
Me: It's an eye lash curler. And I'm touching up my make up.
Co-Worker: Why??? It's almost 5pm.
Me: Because I'm a 6 and I'm having drinks with an 8.5 tonight.
Co-Worker: *shakes head and walks away*

Dear Male Co-Workers,
Two words. PRIVACY CONTROLS.
If you want to be friends on The Facebook, cool. However, I don’t need to see excessive photos of you half-naked at the pool. Then the lake. Then the beach.
We WORK together, yick!
XXOO,
Greener
PS- I am NOT talking about you Will. ;)

FACT.
They words “Hello Gorgeous” WILL make your day. I don’t care who you are.
I’ll take it from a boyfriend, your grandpa, or the blind dude on the corner.
Anonymous asked: Hey Leah! A package is on it's way to you. The people at the post office said delivery would most likely be Wednesday. And, I made sure the address was correct this time round. I hope the water is divine today. Rehydration is the best. Have a most fantastic week before Christmas! Much love, tb

THIS is where I get all judgy...
I’m sorry…but books on tape…DON’T COUNT.
I think they are brilliant…a great way to use your morning commute, or lull yourself to sleep, or even STUDY.
However, they are NOT “reading”. Rather, they are listening.
Listening to the inflection in someone ELSE’S voice evoke feeling and narrate FOR you. Where as reading empowers your imagination to...

“I can’t believe I’m using this phone in public. I’m in front...”

Yes!
heyheyamber:
I danced to Mariah Carey, Abba, and OutKast in a tutu at The Goat Bar’s Christmas party. Tried a $500 tequila (still tastes like tequila to me), took pictures with EVERYONE, then danced some more. It was a blast. Hey Leah, we should just leave those tutus in our cars just in case the mood hits us to declare once again that IT’S TUTU TIMMMMME!

Drunk Day --- Pulling out the BIG GUNS
Guys…I didn’t want to have to do this…but….
this was right AFTER making it down the hill.
then there was the valentines day we thought we’d crimp our hair and drink WILD IRISH ROSE cause nothing says “Fuck a man” like Bum Wine and 80’s flare.
Or the time we bought actual Vintage outfits from the 70’s…wore frosted...

TFLN (Close Call)
scene: My brother phones me at work, early Wednesday morning.
Trey (brother): Uhm, have you looked at Texts From Last Night (www.textsfromlastnight.com) yet, today?
Me: Nope, they block that internet site here.
Trey: Oh, I was hoping you saw the first one posted today. When I read it, had it not been the wrong Area Code, I would have bet ANYTHING it was from you.
Me: Why? What did it say?
Trey: "(304): I love you more than champagne and correct grammar".
Me: Hahah, touche. But if it had been me there would have been SOME mention of Kevin Bacon in there.
Trey: True.

Wine and Design
Last night I went to a “Paint Your Pet” class at Wine and Design, with the lovely Laura!
Not only was it delightful company…but she knows me well and showed up with Prosecco! Win.
We spent the next few hours painting our pups we love so dearly!
Here’s how my Murphy Belle turned out:
And here’s Laura’s post with her masterpiece of Bailey!
Can’t wait...
Woot.

Called Out
Set the scene: My desk at work, a co-worker is flipping through my new Erin Condren planner. I am paying ZERO attention.
Co-Worker: HAH! Those aren't going to last long.
Me: Say what? Huh? What are you doing?
Co-Worker: *points to stickers that come with planner that say "party!"*
Those...they aren't going to last long. I'll be surprised if they make it through next week.
Me: *closes planner ON his hand*
*mumbling* .....but i'm a good girl......grumble.....grumble....

Obsessing over: SOMETHING that must have made me nervous this weekend…because I had fingernails Friday…Monday…no such luck. Nubs.

This Weekend, Included (but was not limited to):

Captain Awesome
In a great mood for the simplest of reasons:
1- I have on a plaid oxford under a RL cable knit. Preppy is so refreshing, I don’t care who you are. Classic forever.
2- I went to bed at 8:30pm.
3- I just OWNED my Erin Condren planner. Every birthday, coded. Every pay day, color coded. Christmas parties, date nights, events for the rest of the month…CODED. Feels SOOOO good. (I...
