Day 32: The Pretty Girl Blues

I'm choosing to rock my list of gratefulness in paragraph form today. Below are the things I am grateful for.

• Music: I always mention bands or specific songs that I'm grateful for on any given day, but today there are too many. As I was getting ready for my interview today, I played Kerrigan & Lowdermilk, a little Duffy, some Lady Antebellum and some other random musical theatre tidbits. I love rocking out. It's the best way to calm my nerves or forget about something or even remember something. I remember one of my college professors saying that he believes good poetry can save lives. I totally believe it. Good lyrics, which are good poetry, can find a place in your soul and bring something out of you. Today, the music brought the best out of me. So tomorrow,I will continue to rock on.
• The Return of "Career Bitch" Mode: Okay, laugh all you want, but I love putting on a suit, straightening my hair, throwing on my "work make up" and being a total career bitch. I really do enjoy working. Even if I won the lottery, I would be the crazy bitch who still worked because I love buying nice things with money I earned. Getting ready for today's interview reminded me of that mode. I slipped right back into it. I can't wait to get back into a real job where I get to bust my ass and fall into bed at night. Plus, if I work hard, I get to play even harder!
• Ballet Flats: My toe is still freaking killing me, so, sadly, my favorite power heels were not an option today. (Yes, I have power heels.) But my silver ballet flats were there to save the day, keeping my professional and not making me want to saw my foot off. Until the return of the power heels, those ballet flats are my new favorite shoes.
• Zachary Levi: He's the guy who plays Chuck on, well, Chuck. He's gorgeous and funny, and he's a talented actor. I appreciate all of that. Very much. Plus, he sky dives and broke his hand playing Wii tennis. He's the ultimate kick ass nerd. Which I also appreciate. Very Much.
• Self-Confidence: Career Bitch Sam is probably the most confident version of me that exists. (I'll even admit that there's only a fine line between Career Bitch Sam and just plain bitch.) The business world is a world that I know I can take on, and none of my personal junk matters when I'm in the business world. I stop being the anorexic girl and start being the woman in control. And I love it. I re-found my self-confidence today. I remembered exactly what I'm capable of, and that's a feeling I've really missed.
