Ghosts, Goblins and Witches....Halloween Costumes

Ever since  I was a kid, I loved Halloween. The idea of dressing up and being something totally different was always so much fun. I still love dressing up even today. As a kid, these are my Halloween Favorites:

Five Things That Happened Today:

1. We were CRAZY busy today. My office is one of the busiest, i totally understand that but today the people that were coming in, were CRAZY. We were short staffed and I had a headache the size of Montana today which means its the perfect recipe for craziness. We got through the day, with only a few hiccups but I can only be thankful for having a job and being happy to go to my job. (My Photo of the day: Curious George kept reminding me to breathe and just take your time. People were thankful that I was so pleasant to them even if i didn't feel well. )
2. I don't know if anyone else noticed but it's SEPTEMBER and its HUMID and HOT out. Me no gusto! I decided to forgo my lunchtime walk because of the weather. Stepping outside at 5pm to walk to the parking garage with C, I was over come with the humidity that was waiting for us outside.Tomorrow is supposed to be even HOTTER! EEK, Mother Nature can you cool the weather off because I have some cute fall outfits to wear!
3. Since I eat Gluten Free, my tastes change probably weekly- I will eat something one week and fall completely in love with it and eat it for the rest of the week and then the next week will come and I hate it. My mother especially hates this due to the fact that she doesn't like seeing me not being able to eat a lot so when I do find something that I show some interest in, she likes to stock up. Luckily I will re-like the same item again in a week. Its odd and I cannot explain it to anyone who doesn't eat gluten free for allergy reasons. The whole point of my story is that I found such good fruit snacks. They just so happen to be Kellogg's Disney Princess ones too! I probably will hate them in a week but for now, they make me happy.
4. On my sorta relaxing lunch break, I decided to finally dive into the Ladies Home Journal Magazine that I received in the mail the other day. One of the articles was entitled: "All By Myself: Why Alone Time is Good For You" I was so excited to read this because I try to tell people about this ALL the time! Since being an only child, I am used to being alone and occupying myself.As I've grown up, I feel like I have become more independent in the sense of going places by myself, eating lunch or dinner alone in public, exploring new things and my favorite, people watching. You should try it sometime, being alone and being alone means without your smart phone too!
5. I am thinking about September 11th a lot lately and since tomorrow is September 11th, I will have a heavy heart for all that lost their lives in the heartless attacks on America.I cannot believe its been 12 years already!

XX,

the everyday jersey girl 

ps. While I was typing this, I was multitasking and I finally painted my nails- white- I like to mix things up. =D

My oh My!

My oh my, what a week this has been.....

I am happy that the week is over and grateful for a new week to start. 

I have found my creativity again, which makes me happy and sad. 

I am happy I can be creative, painting, doodling, baking, jewelry making- I even opened my open Etsy shop too: Handmade by Gabrielle7!

The sad part is that it always takes a boyfriend breaking up with me, to find my creativity. I had high hopes for this boy too but alas, he ended it, and I was left crushed, heartbroken and with a bunch of unanswered questions that he would never answer. I am a strong person and I will get through this little hiccup in my life, as I always do. 

I am eager for this week to start, I have some plans, some ideas and new projects I would like to start this week. 

My to-do list this weekend was pretty packed solid, and I was happy to finish most of it, some of the things (reorganizing my extra closet in my room or cleaning out my nightstand) were just too large for this weekend, and I wanted to enjoy some of the beautiful weather.

New Jersey sure has been trying to hold on to the summer still- with it being so hot out! 

Goals for the week:
*Get to the gym twice
*Dinner and Catch up with Emily
*Read each night
*Try a new craft

Breathe.You can accomplish anything you set your mind to.
