i'm in a weird mood

I know I've been non-existent lately, long story short: Work life is crazy. And has taken over my day. Funny how that works right? I go to work and actually work. Who would have thought ;) <--- Just kidding by the way.

I'm not sure if I've mentioned before that my job is going through a lot lately.  My job, as in the company.  Last year they announced 8,500 layoffs, and yesterday, they just announced 7.500 more. Which brings the grand total to 16,000/  A workforce cut of 20%.  That's pretty scary.  I really can't say much more until it becomes public knowledge (which what I just wrote is at this point).  I am finding out this week how I am effected personally.   I'm not sure what is going to happen when someone says "I'll talk to Lauren Thursday afternoon about her status".  It could mean either I'm getting laid off, or I'm staying with my group...obviously, but it's so nerve wrecking!

So any way, as you can imagine I've been extremely busy and my weekends have been crazy too.

In the beginning of September, I posted about my home-office / 2nd bedroom makeover.  I'm excited to say that it is just about complete, and I consider that goal COMPLETE.  I am planning to take pictures on Saturday, so I have nice lighting from the morning shining in the room.  So I'm hoping (fingers-crossed) to get that up next week!

Hope you all are great, I miss you!

Especially I'd like to give a shout out to Kelly- - thanks girl! Your kind words haven't gone unnoticed on the twitter.

Here are a few pictures from the weekend....because nobody like's reading a post without some pics:
