Activesync Irritation

I am trying to set up the ActiveSync to my Samsung i-760 Smartphone, which I love. It is very useful for work and play. BUT, I am having the hardest time with setting up the ActiveSync to my work computer. IT came up and set it up, and it worked one time, and that was 2 weeks ago and nothing since! I have been "googling" everything, and the consensus is ActiveSync is annoying! So, I am going to keep trying, otherwise I will have to find a new way to keep my calendar! So, if I forget something or don't show up somewhere in the near future, please blame my phone and computer, because they aren't getting along and confusing me!

5K

After much thought, I have decided to begin training for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure this summer. Justin and I have been talking about picking an organization which means a lot to the both of us. In our conversations, we noticed all the events which occur to support the research of various causes, and thought that, instead of just being active in only one, it would be better if we partake in the races/events put on by these organizations. We feel that we will be able to support many of the important causes and get healthy at the same time.

I am very excited about this new goal and am a little nervous. But I feel very good about this decision. It is a good cause and that makes it worth the hard work!

The Skinny Latte





Starbucks has always been a guilty pleasure, but now it does not have to be. I am not a coffee drinker, but enjoy the Chai Lattes, and other yummy mocha and latte calorie filled drinks. But Starbucks has come through and come out with their Skinny Latte's! They are fabulous and quite delicious! You can do various sugar free flavors as well! So, thank you Starbucks for allowing me to get my caffeine fix and not OD on my calories for the day! Now only if the piece of cake in the photo above was skinny as well :)

See Jane Work!


In the midst of learning all the ropes for my new job, I get to organize my office, which is one of my favorite things to do, along with the job of course! The site I have fallen in love with for fun office supplies is See Jane Work. It has practical but fun organizing materials for any office. I have to try and have a little bit of fun with the daily grind, and this has become it for me!

Other than that, I love my job, it is a lot of long hours and I am having to absorb a lot of information in a short time, but I really am enjoying it and think it's going to have a very positive outcome!
