I hope everyone is surviving the insane winter weather that is sweeping the country. I have really enjoyed the few warm days that we have had.
Since my last post, I have changed jobs. Same company, different job. I now work in an area that houses temporary office space for employees that work in other buildings that have to attend meetings at the corporate headquarters. It can be reserved for an hour or all day. I sort of manage the area. I assist people with reservations, visitors, etc. I'm sort of like a concierge. I absolutely love it. It is less stressful than my other job, even when it is extremely busy. I have met so many nice people. I am the first person to have this position. Many people comment that they are glad that I am there.
I don't have to dress as stiff as I use to. I enjoy my cardigans, pants and flats.
I hope everyone has a great Thursday. It is almost the weekend.

I am still trying to recover from last week. Last Tuesday, the weatherman predicted a slight dusting of snow. A slight dusting turned into two inches of snow over a glaze of ice. My employer closed at 11:00 am. It took me about four hours to go just a few miles. I decided to go back to work. When I got back, my boss started organizing volunteers to go to the kitchen of the executive dining room to look for food to serve to those stranded in our building. I had experience with a meat slicer, so I sliced ham and turkey for sandwiches. We found bread, salad fixings, chips and beverages. We put everything out in the dining room. We served over 300 people who were stranded. Everyone seemed to appreciate it. The next day we served breakfast and dinner. I was not able to go home until Thursday at noon. I had to wear the same dress and sweater for 2 1/2 days. It was not fun . I know that folks up north have worse storms, but the south is not prepared. There are also mountains and bridges that we have to navigate.
On a happier note, I was able to go shopping a few weeks ago, I bought a pair of navy Revas, plus some cute jewelry at Kate Spade. I am now searching for some cute blouses to wear to work.
I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.

It is cold down here in Alabama. It is 11 in the Tennessee Valley. And...what do Southern Belles drink when it is cold outside? Why, iced tea, of course. Iced tea is seasonless.
Tomorrow is going to be even colder. It is hard for me to dress for this weather. Most of my work clothes are skirts. I have one nice pair of oants, but they are too big. I'm going to wear them anyway. I can use a belt to hold them up and hide the waist with a blazer. It is expected to get a little bit warmer on Thursday. I know some parts of the country are really having it bad. I really feel for them.
If you live where it is cold, please be careful. Don't go outside unless it is an emergency.
Have a good Tuesday.

I've been trying to get things organized. Last week I helped my mother get her house in order for fall.
Last Sunday, I received a wonderful compliment from a young lady at church. She commented on how stylish I looked. I never think of myself as stylish. I had on a black Pendleton Lana skirt, a camel J Crew Jackie cardigan, pearls, Kate Spade bow earrings, black Tory Burch Revas, and a black Longchamp LePliage. It was sealed when she saw me put away my Kate Spade wallet.
In the past couple of years, I have become challenged in the casual attire department. I either have professional work clothes or extremely casual clothes, such as sweats and turtlenecks. Tonight, I managed a decent casual outfit. I wore LL Bean jeans, a red cotton turtleneck sweater, pearls, a gold heart pendent, red Kate Spade bow earrings, black Tory Burch Revas, black Tory Burch satchel, and my black Burberry quilted jacket. Maybe, I have started to conquer my challenges.
I hope everyone has a good Sunday. I'll try not to stay away so long.
