8.31.2011: Talking with Alexa, and knowing she's doing okay. She is such an incredibly strong person.
8.30.2011: Eating Goode's barbeque. I think barbeque just might be my absolute favorite food.
8.29.2011: Giggling watching people react to photocopier.
8.28.2011: Reading daddy's text. "You are a gem. You shine. I love you."
8.27.2011: Sitting with Mamaw and chatting away while she was doing her breathing. Just being there with her.
8.26.2011: Peeing in my pants with Nick watching Millionaire Matchmaker.
8.25.2011: Catching up with Kreena and figuring out when to see each other. It's really sad that we've never really had the chance to live together in the same city after school.
8.24.2011: Watching him walk with his messenger bag as he's lost in his world. He had a million things going through his mind, but he just held my hand.
8.23.2011: Discovering new uses for Vicks VapoRub.
8.22.2011: Laying my head on the pillow that he laid down for me, just looking at him.
8.21.2011: Laughing with Dave. I still giggle about the idea of my carwash and him being a complete smartass.
8.20.2011: Dancing with glowsticks. Disappeared in the moment.
8.19.2011: Running into Morgan. I don't know how I knew to say what I did or knew that he and Liz were having trouble, but I did.
8.18.2011: Winning 3 Catalysts with my Charmin team. We are pretty awesome. Incredible what rigor will do for a business.
8.17.2011: Losing myself at the My Morning Jacket show. So unbelievably, ridiculously awesome.
8.16.2011: Helping Brittani revise her final presentation. I just wish I could help her figure out what she wants too, not what her parents want.
8.15.2011: Catching up with Christopher. To this day, we still just get each other. That's when you know a friendship is real. When you can just be yourself. I'm very lucky to have friends like him - few and far between - but all people who I admire and love.
8.14.2011: Kicking ass climbing. I was just in the mode today. We all were.
8.13.2011: Feeling the ice breaking, and everything feeling like all is right.
8.12.2011: Congratulating Vannie for getting her offer. I am so, so proud of her.
8.11.2011: Running an awesome run on a beautiful night. I hope it stays cool the rest of the summer.
8.10.2011: Watching Selina silently mouth to me that Vannie is getting an offer. Recruiting is the most important thing we do in the company.
8.9.2011: Building trust. Time to open up the bottle of champagne!
8.8.2011: Giving Vannie a hug. That moment is when you know that you've made a difference in someone's life.
8.7.2011: Sitting in the car listening to Rent. Funny how a simple moment can be so incredible.
8.6.2011: Learning how to make a kaleidoscope. I've always loved them growing up. Probably the coolest thing I've done in awhile.
8.5.2011: Eating lunch with my Puffs friends. I do miss Griffith and the closeness of a small team.
8.4.2011: Getting stopped by Mautz in the hallway to tell me I kicked ass today.
8.3.2011: Giving a little bit of ourselves away at happy hour.
8.2.2011: Peeing in my pants laughing when we're together. I like it. Perhaps because we both just say such ridiculous things.
8.1.2011: Starting off the week with a great morning of being lazy in bed.
Monday, August 1, 2011
i want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life - august 2011
8.31.2011: Being needed - I think this is really the first time I've been out of the office for a few days, and I felt like I was desperately needed the moment I walked in the door. It would've been nice to have a few bathroom breaks though ;).
8.30.2011: Navin - Apologies are better later than never, even if you've already forgiven someone.
8.29.2011: Too much - People loved our best one most.
8.28.2011: Health - I watched Mamaw wet her pants today. Someday that'll be me too. Until then I'll stay active to maintain my health as much as possible. Looking at mom's hands also made me realize the importance of staying active.
8.27.2011: Family visits - It was awesome to see Mamaw, Papaw, Mary, Roger, Beth and mom this weekend. Visiting family is always special. I'm glad I can do it with almost everyone at least once a year beyond the holidays.
8.26.2011: Luck - What are the chances that I picked up my phone at the exact time that Dave texted me? Literally, I had picked up my phone to see what time it was, and it vibrated in my hand. I would've missed seeing him for over a week if someone up there didn't like me.
8.25.2011: Sam - Switching out my deck. It's easy to present when you're confident your slides like good and you know your stuff.
8.24.2011: Making it through the day - Sometimes that's all we can ask for.
8.23.2011: Courage - Better sooner than later. Even better just to start with in the first place.
8.22.2011: My mom - She always knows what to say.
8.21.2011: Sales - Sometimes I wonder if I'd have any clothes if there weren't sales.
8.20.2011: Micah & Ayumi - They were both so welcoming into their home. Good people. Dave has some good friends. I hope they always have his back, like he has theirs.
8.19.2011: Lelei - I am so lucky to have had her become part of my life. I'm glad she didn't make a scene tonight too.
8.18.2011: P&G - The video Seitz put together made me proud to be a part of this company. I'm coming home.
8.17.2011: Alexa - She'll always be my best friend through anything. I'll be there for her always.
8.16.2011: Growing up without TV at dinner - I think it's important. Really important.
8.15.2011: Being financially stable - I just dropped a few hundred on new rotors and break pads. I'm incredibly lucky that I don't have to worry about things like this.
8.14.2011: Dave - I had a fantastic weekend with him. The simple, everyday can be enjoyable.
8.13.2011: Tom - Going to the Nebraska game thanks to Tom. So excited for football season to begin!
8.12.2011: Brady - What a fun night tasting MadTree beer. I'm also particularly thankful for him hooking me up. We shall see.
8.11.2011: Amanda, Laura and Marie - It was awesome to see all of them together for the first time in probably 4 years. Crazy. They were my favorite Fabric Care ABMs when I started with the company.
8.10.2011: Alexa - Peeing in my pants laughing talking to her on the phone has made me realize over the years what a best friend is for.
8.9.2011: Kevin - I can't believe how ridiculous he always is. I'm so lucky to have met him in my life. I just hopes he figures out what he wants and makes it happen.
8.8.2011: Lelei - So excited she's back in Cincy. Had an awesome time tonight with her.
8.7.2011: Mom - It's good to always talk to her. She's the most life smart person I know.
8.6.2011: Dave - I know he wasn't feeling good today, but he put on a smile and was really positive about our kaleidoscope class. Most people would've just bailed.
8.5.2011: Caden - It's so fun to teach a child something and watch them in wonderment.
8.4.2011: Dave - Happiness is simply enjoying the moment - there's nowhere you'd rather be, you're not thinking of anything else, it's the now and present.
8.3.2011: Tara - One more person who gives me hope that I can succeed, and I don't have to fit in the Procter box.
8.2.2011: Our 12/13 team - Today wouldn't have been as awesome without each and every one of them.
8.1.2011: Alexa - For some reason, when she tells me good luck it just feels different than anyone else. She really means it.
8.30.2011: Navin - Apologies are better later than never, even if you've already forgiven someone.
8.29.2011: Too much - People loved our best one most.
8.28.2011: Health - I watched Mamaw wet her pants today. Someday that'll be me too. Until then I'll stay active to maintain my health as much as possible. Looking at mom's hands also made me realize the importance of staying active.

learn something new everyday - august 2011
8.31.2011: Create a spending chart for MMM because Nielsen gets all the data from all different places, and it isn't necessarily right.
8.30.2011: People take things very literally. Keep it simple, especially iMedia.
8.29.2011: Be patient Allison. Take things at face value. Yes, actions speak louder than words, but sometimes you don't know what's driving those actions.
8.28.2011: Divide up the work when taking care of your parents. We can't do it alone in the first place, but it also builds your relationships with your siblings.
8.27.2011: ICUs should be on the first floor emergencies, e.g. fires, earthquakes.
8.26.2011: Managing up is not my game. It is something I am committed to learning to do well, but it will never be a game to me.
8.25.2011: When presenting in front of 100+ people, you better leave out your "ums." Charmin showed up really well today.
8.24.2011: Always help out your team. It'll always repay itself, especially with good people. David is for sure one of my favorite ABMs.
8.23.2011: Nielsen Answers for Desktop is a lot like Nitro. Why don't they teach us that first?!
8.22.2011: 20% of pregnancies end in miscarriages.
8.21.2011: I always thought that I couldn't sit still at all. But then I realized maybe that I can't sit still in my home, where something always needs to get done. Today I realized that I think it's just that I can't sit still when I'm alone.
8.20.2011: Angler fish reproduce by a male fusing itself to a female, the female absorbing all of its organs except for its balls, which remain on the outside of the female and produce sperm for her to become pregnant. http://theoatmeal.com/comics/angler
8.19.2011: For many, its worth it to find someone who adores you and will do anything for you. For me, that's not enough. I want to adore them equally.
8.18.2011: A baby's heart is supposed to beat 100+ bpm at 6 weeks.
8.17.2011: Tailor your deck so your AEs can pull directly from it.
8.16.2011: Take it slow. There's no rush.
8.15.2011: Why not? There's nothing to lose.
8.14.2011: The top 1% income earners in the United States pay more taxes in totality than the bottom 75% of income earners.
8.13.2011: Everyone has rough days. Everyone needs time to wind down alone. But what really matters is whether you can get through it together.
8.12.2011: Burning copper turns flames green.
8.11.2011: I'd much rather actually do the work, i.e. paint, than organize the event.
8.10.2011: Value, value, value. Value will always win. Even if it erodes a great idea. Oh P&G. "I'm on a horse" talks nothing of value. Great ideas win big in real life. Value wins in testing, and a little in real life.
8.9.2011: The best way to address an issue that affects the entire team is with the team together. And people always see through it.
8.8.2011: If only managers realized that if they were supportive and inspirational, they could get their people to do absolutely anything.
8.7.2011: People who are acutely aware of their surroundings almost always had to raise themselves growing up.
8.6.2011: Solder is actually a metal that can be melted, not a process or a tool.
8.5.2011: Well, our country's debt got downgraded to an AA+, coincidence that we just raised our debt ceiling? I don't think so. And if our Treasury is dumb enough to hand in financials with a $2 trillion error, we probably should be downgraded anyways. Here we come Europe. We're catching up to you quick.
8.4.2011: Keep it simple stupid. In everything. Especially with the GM.
8.3.2011: Kids are like watching your heart beating walking around you.
8.2.2011: I finally understand the impact of image. I kicked ass today. Keep it up, Yang.
8.1.2011: Always do a final run through with my Marketing Director before a gate. Yes, actually helpful.
8.30.2011: People take things very literally. Keep it simple, especially iMedia.
8.29.2011: Be patient Allison. Take things at face value. Yes, actions speak louder than words, but sometimes you don't know what's driving those actions.
