Sometimes during times of change and struggle I have trouble keeping things in perspective. I know this isn’t a struggle specific to me…it’s something many people struggle with from time to time.
Over the past few weeks, as my life has changed at a rapid pace, I’ve sometimes had trouble seeing the forest through the trees… [...]

Hmmm…Seems like I need to catch you up…
I arrived in Dallas on Saturday, September 5th. The flights from Anchorage to DFW were uneventful except for a slight delay that made for a rather entertaining mad dash through the Seattle airport. I was greeted at the airport by two really special people and promptly made my way [...]

We all know and love my boss…yes?
A few moments ago we are leaving a meeting and he says to me…
“So what are you doing for lunch today.”
And I say…
“Probably just having a protein bar and running some errands.”
And he says…
“You know what? I miss fat and happy Davita. She liked to do things and go [...]

For a little more history on this situation, please see this post. And this one.
(To paint a picture…I wore my hair down and curly today.)
I see my boss in the hallway this morning and he says…
“When you wear your hair like that it makes you look like Carrie Bradshaw…you know…back before she started fixing her [...]

Did you enjoy this post? If so…you will probably enjoy Part 2 of…random things my boss says to me.
We are sitting in his office discussing carpool plans for a funeral the office is attending this afternoon. (A board member’s wife passed away.)
I say… “I’m glad that I remembered to wear funeral appropriate clothing today.”
And he [...]

I’ve realized some things about myself this week. Lest you think I’m preparing you for a super deep post about personal reflection…I’m so not. Let’s just say that the realizations have been superficial and random at best.
I mutilate paper clips all day at work. If I’m talking to someone or thinking about something intense…I break [...]

I work on a specific report each month at work. The data for this report is generated from an Excel spreadsheet. (Yes, my job really is that exciting.)
Anyway, I find this particular report to be the most boring and mundane part of my job. I’ve switched job titles and offices in the past month and [...]

I’m watching Good Morning America. They are talking about the cold weather and telling people how to prevent frost bite.
It’s almost 50 degrees here. In Alaska.
WEIRD.
The roads are so bad that they cancelled school AGAIN. Double weird.
AND, the winds are blowing at insane speeds. Hurricane force. Literally.
Driving on solid sheets of ice in high wind. [...]
