If today had a hash tag, it would be #boom

I may have just tweeted that.

Why?

B/c my project I referred to in my last post launched at 4:58 p.m. to all of our eight states and five thousand employees!

Over a year of work plus countless hours in recent weeks by not just me, but the whole Corporate Communications team. I mean.. there are only 6 of us, so it's not an army... which is what makes it even more monumental. :) I'm pretty sure I owe them all some serious wine for putting up with my insanity lately.

Anyway, after the project launched, I did a little cheer at my desk, quickly changed clothes in the bathroom and went to Crossfit to take out some of stress/pent-up energy! I wanted to go to Crossfit so badly to just work some of the stress out that I RAN to my car (I park far from my building) so I could make it...haha... I don't run anywhere, friends...especially to get to a gym. I think I needed to just get it out...

I'm now having a very large glass of wine, taking a deep breath, and settling in to read my New York Times bestselling porn novel.. er... I mean 50 Shades of Grey. Have you read that? I have to admit I bought it to see what all the fuss was about taking over magazine covers, blogs, etc. And I was trying to read something before bed to take my mind off work.

And um.. this book SUCKS YOU IN. And yeah, it's a little steamy, so there's that. But, it's not gratuitous if that makes sense. It's not smut. It's really well-written. I'm at Chapter 7 and I think things are about to get prettttty interesting...

Anyway... my project isn't over. There's going to be some troubleshooting tomorrow I'm sure. And there are still a couple hurdles to overcome. But, today was pretty much the most exciting thing I've done since I started at the company almost two years ago. :) Now let's hope people get to work tomorrow and like what we've done... Cross your fingers, friends. Hoping my celebratory wine isn't overly presumptuous..haha..

With all the sitting at the computer lately, I've actually found a few songs I end up playing on repeat. I do that a lot- find something I like and play it over and over until I'm over it. Anyway, thought I'd share with ya if you're looking for some different tuuuuuuuunes. ;)

Fun. - Some Nights (I'm actually loving everything by Fun right now).
Alex Clare- Too Close (heard this on a commercial and immediately downloaded).
Maroon 5 Ft. Wiz Khalifa- Payphone

( I just realized all those songs have some reference to a relationship gone wrong or some other comparison.. haha.. I just like the beats. I promise there's not some subtlety in there about Eric and me. We're rocking and rolling. :) Pretty funny though. )

Looking forward to being back to normal soon and catching up with y'all!

Oh, and I may have bought myself a celebratory lip gloss tonight at Ulta. It's what I do.

Happy Tuesday!
