Finally Friday! (and an award!)

This has been one.long.week. Despite the emotional Tuesday (below), things weren't quite as dramatic the rest of the week, but I'm still pooped! I had 5 campaign kickoffs at my companies this week. (If you just started reading, I'm volunteering two mos as a "loaned exec" at the Un!ted W@y, paid by my regular job though, assigned a division of 150 companies, and help them with their internal campaigns). That means I go and give a presentation and people get to listen to me attempt to either (1) pull at their heartstrings a little and/or (2) give them facts and stats. It totally depends on the audience whether I give them MORE facts and stats and less personal/heartstring stories or vise versa.

Along those lines, what appeals more to you out of curiosity? If you were listening to a volunteer org, would you prefer personalized stories about people who've been helped ooooooooooooor facts and stats? Just curious!

Then, I had three evenings of work activities-two of which were my regular job and then one was last night's UW benefit concert. :) Sheesh! Busy lady=me!

I was kinda sleepy this morning and remembered Jamie over at Jamie Unscripted (life in my twenties) had said she left me something on her blog! I got all excited and went over there and she'd given me the Over the Top award! I seriously did a little yay-squeal-thing in my head! haha! Definitely stop by her blog if you're not already a reader-she's awesome annnnnnd is the one who got me hooked on those Caramel Apple Spice ciders from Starbucks! :) Thank you so much for the award, Jamie!

And in hopes of making some of you do the internal yay-squeal thing I did (haha), I'm passing this on! Jamie passed it to 5 peeps and with my weird odd number aversion, I'm passing it to six! :) Just a few of the chicas who are high-five-blog-rockstars in my book! Love you girlies!

* Aubrey over at Made You Blush!
* Llama over at Llama Tales!
* Tracy over at Then I Got to Thinking!
* Sonja at For the Love of Stilettos!
* Kerry at My Life, My Loves!
* Tatiana at Living Life and Loving it!

I need to add this one and a couple others to my side bar! :)

Whatcha dooooin this weekend? After a busy busy week, I'm looking forward to being low.key. :) Some time with Eric, some time with some girl friends, some time with my dog, some time with my dvr... haha.. We have a smaller, artsty movie theater here that shows more independent films, etc, called Circle Cinema. They're currently showing a movie that's gotten some GREAT reviews about Anna W!ntour called The September issue and a few other things that look really good! Plus, Eric just forwarded me an email full of new local restaurants with awesome reviews
so may be experiencing those too!!

Fall Friday attire: skinny jeans, tall boots, lightweight sweater, and my new scarf from the scarf swap (can't wait to post pics!). Love me some fall clothes!! Have a great weekend, everyone!
