Drab to Fab!

So yesterday for some reason the tan/cream color of my little cube here at work was starting to get to me....It was drab and really not "me".

Now yes there are articles out there in every business magazine and publication saying that putting personal touches on your work space is a big No-No...however I see my office as not one of those typical business offices.

The boys have a basketball hoop, at any given time there are stress balls being thrown across the room, and we have a Dallas Mavericks flag still proudly displayed after their victory (that or it's just been forgotten to be taken home).

So this morning I started on my "Cube Re-Vamp" and plan to take my work area from Drab to Fab over the next week or two.

Clutter and papers gone! I'm going for the green feel and going all electronic (or at least trying to) and hopefully adding some light pink hues and green to my little area. Here's my progress thus far....

I'll be sure to post updates as I go. Step one will be just finishing the pink and white draping around the front of my cube and then I plan to get some "girly" (pink and green) trays to keep papers rather than the ugly black plastic stacking thing that I have now.

Rene might laugh at my spending of $12 to change things up but I figure I spend the majority of my time here and have had the same surroundings for 3+ years why not change it up right?

Free Breakfast

Be sure to head over to Chick-fil-a for breakfast to reserve your free breakfast item for the week of September 6-10th (the 5th is already sold out).
Who doesn't enjoy a free breakfast?

Enjoy!

THE Wedding of the Year

Since I promised to give a little update on the major event (wedding) Rene and I attended on Saturday here goes. When I say that this was an “event” it really was. The wedding was for friends of ours who live in Dallas and we met through Rene’s job with Deloitte. The husband works at Deloitte as well and the wife owns a small boutique here in Dallas for breast cancer survivors.

The couple are 100% some of the most genuine and fun people that I know so please don’t think that when I tell you about the amazing wedding that they are stuck up or snobbish in any way shape or form!

The wife is from Longview,TX a town of around 80K in east Texas and her family in involved in lumber sales. Apparently the family is very well known in the town and this wedding was the event you wanted a ticket for – Rene and I were lucky enough to get invited.

I only have a couple of pictures because my camera wasn’t doing very well in the dark reception venue but here are a couple of the key points:

Guest count 600+

The church was packed and the reception was held in the Convention Center!

The catering was done by I think every local restaurant so there was something for everyone (Chick fil a, pizza, salmon, Diary Queen, and alcoholic sno-cones!)

It’s the first and only wedding I’ve attended that started on the dot at 7pm and finished up as the clock struck midnight—oh yea with a wonderful firework show as the new Mr. and Mrs. drove away!

An ice sculpture that of course the bartender poured your selected martini down to chill it before serving.

Add to that an amazing wedding cake, and flowers….

On yeah and the grooms cake that was a horn frog (TCU graduates!)

Best wishes to Crystal and Kelly – it really was an amazing wedding!
