Margo's got Moxie ! : the diary of miss red high heels

Working with two guys on a data management team is something else entirely. I am seriously learning to not be so stressed out, and forgive myself for mistakes I have made. They surprisingly not only help with work, but one of the guys is cool to talk to about life in general. I thought they would end up being jerks and the training would be horrendous. Both are laid back, understanding individuals who make it happen. We get tasks done, and try not to make a big deal or at least they don't ;). I noticed on this team, I am the early bird though. I get to work super early and the other two stroll in around 8 and 9. The tough part is being able to not try to be mother hen and check in on them so much and also ask for work. I can sense it annoys them and I try to do my best not to make it so or say sorry a lot. At my last job, I was able to come by and ask questions and be helped even if I had a lot to ask. Not sure here if walking on eggshells or reading into much into things. Which,...

When I was back at home in Norcal I used to wear makeup at work and after work, heck, a lot. I read magazines and became enthused with how your eyes, face, lips etc should look. I never seemed to get it right with how it was supposed to appear on a celeb, a model or someone fresh from a cover shoot or a salon. I love the way it looks on a face or even my own. You feel pretty and you feel on top of the world. Sometimes it is just a new lipstick. You feel as if you can conquer the world or get a head turn looking the way you do. Cut check to me moving to southern California and people are whoa beautiful down here. I mean pretty. Sure it is not Hollywood, like calm down Vidge, it is San Diego but still. I worried maybe that was how I would meet friends, was I should probably wear makeup to the gym. No! My face has a chance to breathe without makeup and I like myself without it. Although those eyes of mine look more defined and amazing with liner and mascara, I don't want to depend...

I have been so very blessed and lucky to have such great siblings who have listened to me call them constantly while missing home and such. Last weekend, my brother from Costa Mesa and his wonderful girlfriend came out to my place, and pretty much transformed my home. We put up paintings, cleaned odd areas, placed hooks where they needed to be, tables, cords, room lighting and I bought some cute outdoor patio furniture; all made possible with two target runs !They spent quality time with Mia and I, and I treated them to delicious mexican dinner at Jalapeno. I can truly say I have not been easy on myself.    The transition itself was a lot, but I made it feel like a lot too. I found a great church Rancho Bernardo Presbyterian. I am slowly trying to meet friends. The apartment feels like home now er is starting too so much.I am sleeping better and Mia already senses my feelings and is happy herself. I am learning a ton about myself and others. I find I am so quickly frustrated...
