I told my mother about Elf on the Shelf and she went through her decorations and found these two elves from her childhood. They are over 50 years old! Mum said my sister and I could have one. :)

Day 15 - Something Different
Unlike most years, I waited until the last minute to wrap gifts. I was up very late on Friday night wrapping presents. Yeah, will remember next year to not wait until the last minute.

Day 16 - Something Different
On Thursday I actually stayed up late and watched the Tonight Show. I rarely watch TV especially late night TV. It was fun to relax after work and watch some television with my roommate.

Day 17- Something Different
Today I went out to eat with my coworkers and ordered whatever I wanted on the menu. Shrimp with mashed potatoes, baked mac and cheese and broccoli. And I got a cupcake for dessert. I think its nice sometimes to order something different on the menu.

Day 23 - Something Different
Today I got to see gingerbread houses that were made at work. I liked this one a lot.
Have you ever seen a gingerbread house that resembled a scene out of Back to the Future?
So on Wednesday my coworker Shawn left this dog on my desk. His reasoning is that he wants to convert me to a dog person. Mind you, he is the same person that keeps telling everyone at work that I am a crazy cat lady. I left a cat on his desk weeks ago and he said we could petsit for each other....I think people at work think we are both weird...
Day 24 - Something Different
I tend to be shy and quiet and I try to not be that way. If I am comfortable I can chatter on for hours if someone lets me. Wednesday I spoke honestly at a meeting in front of a group of people how I felt. I didn't hold back and it did feel good to let out my frustrations and be honest. I feel like if something is bothering you don't hide it or complain about it constantly. It felt good to get it off of my shoulders and to move ahead. I feel like you should be yourself and if someone doesn't like you then its their loss to not have you in their life. I am happy to say I do have people in my life that do make me smile and inquire how I am doing on a regular basis.
I liked this quote that I read that reminded me of how I want to be, more confident, especially at work to achieve my career goals and personally in my life outside of work.
"Be confident. And even if you don't feel confident, fake it."
