i'm a weird. yes, a. weird. not in the cool, quirky, mysterious indie movie way and not in the a&e primetime special kind of way. just in the little cant-put-your-finger on it kind of way. and its so so so much fun.
2012…you’re here!
2011
to quote my sister, quoting Zora Neal Hurston, “There are years that ask questions and years that answer”
i’m going to allow 2010 to be the year of questions. A lot of “whys” and “hows”. So many endings of things I thought I started for a reason. A lot of coming to terms with the difference between failure and just a simple change of course. 2010 was definitely a year of battling my heart and my logic. Sadly, I feel that battle will never be over. Thankfully, I have matured and have learned to not allow myself to be drained from every battle. I have learned that I’ll never be happy with mediocrity, but that I have to sit still long enough to turn what I have into something more. So that’s where I am. I’m hoping this is the year of answers. I will not look back. Nothing good comes of that. I am where I am for a reason and I must take full advantage of it in order to really live in the present.
so…I said the above in 2011. And now its 2012. 2011 was one hell of a year. Full of answers. Some answers that were hard to accept as answers…but that they were, nonetheless.
So what is 2012? The year of change. Yup. I’m on the cusp of being really great, but I let my demons and insecurities hold me back. Some people don’t even know that, because I”m so good at hiding it half the time. However, there are those who see the glimpses of what I could be and what I am and feel a sadness for the lack of connection. So here we go, 2012. I have some finishing up to do on the goals I’ve set for myself as I’ve played it safe. For the act of just making sure I follow through on something for once, I will succeed and prosper in these “safe” goals. But then my expections will change and grow and I will continue to demand more. Never settling.
And another thing—-I missed autumn of 2011. My favorite season and I was too busy to enjoy the leaves. That’s gotta change, too. Yup. Add that one to the list.

This looks amazing! Definitely going to be making this asap. Thanks, KMH! Of course, you’ll be with me when we try them.Ingredients:
1 oz Vanilla Vodka
1 oz Hazelnut liqueur
1/2 oz Butterscotch Schnapps
2 oz Ginger Beer
Cinnamon stickCombine all ingredients in a shaker and shake over ice. Pour over ice into a rocks glass and garnish with Cinnamon stick.
I want to go to there.
due to an emo dmo liquor run that I made a few weeks ago, I have all of these ingredients already in my apartment bar. I think I will make one of these bad boys as a nightcap.
I’m reblogging this to remind myself how amazing it sounds. Must try.

Darcie poo is pretty much the coolest. Not only did she feed my fatass ferrel barn cat while I was on vacay, but I came home to a lovely lil welcome sign and goodie bag! How did I get such good friends?

Being a creative is all well and good, but the world can only take so many cupcake designers, photographers, and advertising executives. For the rest of us that have this crazy quirky energy, but are stuck with a less flashy job (for now), we have to find joy in the little day-to-days.
CatastropheHRgirl a basically a little mess of the things that I think about as I absorb this whole world of Human Resources that I’ve thrown myself in. Its actually an interesting little industry…because EVERYONE has to deal with HR once in a while..through all stages in a career. So, whether you’re looking to snag the dream job and need a few interviewing or resume tips, in the industry yourself, or just curious about what some random, midwestern, inexperienced yuppy has to say…check it out! thanks!
