Real conversations

True Confession Tuesday

I've said - OUT LOUD - at least twenty times this morning, "I really don't want to work today."  I should have just taken a personal day to get caught up on life.  Sigh...

That does it

I'm bringing vests back.  Who's with me?!

It starts

This one brought the sads this morning.  Sigh...

Episode 4

Have you heard Tim McGraw's new song Southern Girls?  I LOVE IT!

hi ya'll!

I haven't posted a picture in awhile.  Just saying hello!

I hate it when that happens

Monday musings

1.  It's cold outside.  I hate the cold.

2.  I got a blast from the past last week and then he showed up in my dream last night.  Coincidence?  Nope.  Just wish he would get out of my head.  haha!

3.  The search for the perfect piano continues.  I found three this weekend but they wanted way too much money for them.  Sigh... isn't there a wealthy benefactor somewhere that just wants to share the gift of music with me?

Yes, he really said that

Dr. Brian said to me this morning :  "Oh my god, Carrie.  That gap is EPIC!"


I couldn't stop giggling the rest of my visit.
(he was referring to my gap in my front teeth, thank you very much.)

True Story

Song lyrics of the day

I see you but I can't believe you're here
I can't believe you're near enough for me to touch
Why you're wanting me so much?

You're back
Back for one more try
But you should realize that things are different now
Ever since you quit

Coming around, bringing me down, I said we were through, now I'm over you

But you could change my mind
Little girl, if you wanted to
When you look at me the way you do
I'm easy, so damn easy
You look so good and you look so fine
Girl, you know
You could change my mind

I hear you but I can't believe what you say
You're the one that got away from me so long ago
Don't act like you don't know

Why I can't make up my mind
I can't give you the time of day 'cause I'm afraid
That you'll just keep

Running away, what can I say, I gotta go, the answer is no

But you could change my mind
Little girl, if you wanted to
When you look at me the way you do
I'm easy, so damn easy
You look so good and you look so fine
Girl, you know
You could change my mind

Take it on home, leave me alone, I'll say it again, this is the end

But you could change my mind
Little girl, if you wanted to
When you look at me the way you do
I'm easy, yeah I'm easy
You look so good and you look so fine
Girl, you know
You could change my mind

You look so good and you so fine
Girl, you know
You could change my mind
Change my mind

-"You could change my mind"  Randy Rogers Band

Really?

If you only have one child, why buy a minivan?

Thank you WiserTogether

Many people ask me if I'm crazy to be working on my MBA while working for a high-growth tech start up.  Most of the time I actually DO think I'm crazy because the stress can be astronomical.  But I think in the back of my mind, I totally knew what I was doing. 

I have had the luxury of using my current situation as a case study for all of the papers I've had to write throughout the course of this program.  And boy were they timely!  From writing a business plan to company mission statements to figuring out a go-to-market strategy for a new product, WiserTogether has been my inspiration. 

So WiserTogether, I dedicate my 4.0 to you!  Thanks for helping me kick ass for the last 3 years and showing me what to do (and often what NOT to do) in the business world.  We're almost there!

The best part...

...of company functions, are the pictures that surface a few days later...

(drinking in the office after hours, with my CEO and about 10 of my partners in crime.  The only cups we had for wine were coffee cups!)
