Awwww you guys! I miss you! It’s so freaking bizarre how much I miss blogging, and it’s only been a few days! Just a busy week and life trumped le blog. Boo being busy, you’re a mean muggin whore with bad hair and ugly shoes! I wish I could share more about what I’m doing but my blog is not exactly anonymous and I can’t be too specific…Things should settle down next week so I’ll be back to my usual daily stalkage.

{This is me…stalkin outside your window. So I creep, yeahhh…}
This week has been tough. The industry I’m in, by definition, while fun and fabulous, is TOUGH. I am battling old demons, but I’m going to be a badass and rock it out…and reward myself with some LOUBIES soon! I’m beating myself up because I haven’t worked out all week, but then again, I’ve barely eaten. (I don’t condone this AT ALL, I’m just saying.) I am a perfectionist and pleaser, working on a project that will never be perfect and nobody will ever be pleased=anxiety city.

Nothing will ever be good enough for them, so it’s just going to have to be good enough for me, with my new shoes and my (soon) new blonde hair. Appt has been made, I’m dragging Hanako along to perhaps film a Vlog or as she said, a “documentary”-”When Liz goes batshit crazy and dyes her hair platinum”…it could be the beginning of a series…”When Liz goes batshit crazy and …” I’ve got material for days, srsly.

But I digress.

I’m sorry to come back and write a post that is more for me than anyone else. I NEED to remind myself tonight, as the week is coming to an end, that next week will be better. That yes, this mess I was hired to clean up is worse than I ever could have imagined, the pressure is palpable but every day, I DO make it better. I was hired for a reason. And I’m getting a damn good name to put on my resume!
Chin up! Heels on! Tosses weave! Stress can suck it DRY!

{Game Face ON! Uh, I wish that was my face. lol.}
Happy Friday my loves! What are you doing this weekend? I want to drink a lot and shake my money maker with the girls! And of course read your blogs while trying an eggnog latte from Starbucks…are they good? I keep hearing about them, but I’m not an eggnog fan usually. Ummm, cool now we’re talking about eggnog here? Super. :)
XOXO,
Liz

P.S. Well, color me a jackass bloggy buddy. Totes didn’t announce the fabulous Ciao, Chessa giveaway winner! So lucky you…I’m extending it til Monday cuz mama is too lazy to count all the entries!!

Hi! Honey!

I missed you soo much. You're right being busy sucks…no time to blog and even less sleep than before. But the coffee oh the coffee, my salvation!

Kisses

2 Marta November 5, 2009 at 8:27 pm

3 E November 5, 2009 at 8:27 pm

Not an eggnog fan myself :)

I am glad you took a moment to blog. But I know how it can be when life just makes it difficult to get to the bloggy-blog!

Besitos :*

4 bananas. November 5, 2009 at 8:28 pm

HONEYYYYY!!!!

i've missed your face, blog, gchats, text messages (well the half that aren't coming, not the ones i'm getting), etc. etc.

i hate that life is so crazy right now…taking away my ladies and what not…but BIG NAMES bring BIG BUCKS…and that leads to LOUBIES!!! oh yes! maybe we can find them TOGETHER, since i may be returning the shimmer pumps soon (so sad).

as for the eggnog. hate it. never drink the stuff but literally…LIT-RILLY…TWO SECONDS ago, dave said he had one today and he liked it. and i quote…"and i got a fuckin venti!". he just said that. LOL!

TEXT YA IN A BIT! BOOYA!

5 mommywonderland November 5, 2009 at 8:38 pm

Sorry for busy moments my love!!! Eggnog latte? No, its not time to move on from Pumpkin Spice yet!! (let me know when you try)

6 Rasha @ and this is what she said... November 5, 2009 at 8:54 pm

I miss you, as well as everyone else :)

I wish that was my face too, but yes, you CAN do this, and you will :)

7 The Socialite November 5, 2009 at 9:07 pm

Yay on your new venture! Can't wait to see the new hair! This weekend I will be spending at mama's house and her amazin Mexican food! Can't wait!

8 ♥Aubrey November 5, 2009 at 9:18 pm

Miss you to pieces girl!!! Be the busy bee and fill up that resume of yours with NAMES galore. You'll rock this project and have much to gain because of it i'm sure.

Ummm…eggnog…ok i think i just puked!!! No eggs in my drink. You've got to try the "Apple Spice" luvee…it's delish. Think warm apple juice with caramel and whip cream. YUMMO :) -

9 Melanie's Randomness November 5, 2009 at 9:22 pm

Oh a drink would be absolutely amazing right now!! Good luck on this project. Your so motivated with your work and that's awesome & inspirational. Hope you get some relaxing time this weekend!!!

10 Summer November 5, 2009 at 9:27 pm

I am just so proud of you, and you are rockin this thang out.

Go girl, and be your bad self.

Just don't forget the rest of us when you all famous and shizz.

=)

Muah mama!

11 WendyB November 5, 2009 at 9:42 pm

12 Shop N' Chomp November 5, 2009 at 9:44 pm

*Tries to imagine u with blonde tresses* I think you will look as you always do…FAB.

13 Nicole Leigh November 5, 2009 at 9:57 pm

you need a drink…WITH NICOLE!!!! I'm beginning to think you hate meee
seriously so happy for you though :)
egg nog lattes are pretty good but I can't drink more than a tall.

14 Elizabeth Marie November 5, 2009 at 9:59 pm

Nicole!! I don't hate you!! I adore you lady, I'll call you this weekend!!

15 MizzJ November 5, 2009 at 11:09 pm

hope your work situation gets better soon!! I know how you feel when you feel put upon and can't do much but deal. You'll get through it and rock it!

Mmm I wish the eggnog lattes came in a shot size cuz that's really all I can take of them, they're too creamy to drink a full cup of.

16 jasmine November 6, 2009 at 12:20 am

hang in there, liz, and keep working hard! the weekend is alllllmost here.

17 my so called fab kelly November 6, 2009 at 1:12 am

TOTALLY HALLMARK! i should trademark it. LOVE YOU BITCH you knew i couldn't stay sentimental for long. i have an image to uphold

19 Lisa November 6, 2009 at 2:32 am

I CANNOT WAIT until your hair is done…dying to see how it turns out! Hope you have a lovely Friday/weekend! Have a drink..you DEF deserve it!! :)

20 Sara November 6, 2009 at 3:09 am

I can't wait to see your hair!! I have a midterm I hate the day I decided to do my masters!

21 Dustjacket Attic November 6, 2009 at 3:52 am

Hey babe, hand in there and keep going strong. Sounds like you have your hands full.

Soooo want to see a Vlog/doco of hair happenings. Too funny.
xxx

22 Marjorie November 6, 2009 at 5:42 am

I was wondering where you'd gotten off to. I've missed you! Nice to know you're out there building your business and kickin some PR ass!

I'd probably vote no on the eggnog, but I guess it could surprise me. Our Starbucks didn't survive the Great Starbucks Shutdown last year, so no more lattes for me unless I go to Barnes and Noble. :(

23 Erika November 6, 2009 at 5:55 am

If it weren't for about 96oz. of coffee a day, I would truly cease to exist. And yes, I do drink that much per day – I'm sure it will kill me eventually; but for now, it gets me through all this busy-ness!

Let me know how the Eggnog Latte is. I have a fear of Eggnog after a horrifying experience with absolutely disgusting eggnog fro-yo; but I'd be willing to give a treat from Starbucks a whirl if I know it's yummy! :)

24 E.K. November 6, 2009 at 5:55 am

Sounds like you have a plan this weekend! I'm working on directing a new music video for a friend in New Mexico so it should be a fun weekend.

25 Mrs EyeCanSee November 6, 2009 at 6:11 am

Ah! I've missed you too, I had to double check my blogroll to make sure I hadn't missed something! I hate being super busy, but at least you're too busy to notice that a whole week has gone by and it's Friday! YAY! Oh! And the eggnog latte….delish!

26 MuLtI-CoLoReD SPRINKLES November 6, 2009 at 6:13 am

Girl I have faith in you! You can get your job done and do it perfectly oh yeah and look fabulous at the same time! I know you will be kicking some major ass! Ps blonde SO the way to go! I am stoked I went back that way altho it is taking sometime for me to get back platinum I cant wait to see your dark locks all pretty and blonde! Love ya!

27 Marian November 6, 2009 at 6:19 am

You creep in some hot shoes…but I wouldn't expect anything less;)

Ahh, a nice pair of Loubies is the only way to award yourself after a job well done, which I'm sure it will be my love.

And I can't wait to see this blonde hair. I've been dying.

Hope you have a fabulous weekend and shake your tail feather. haven't tried the eggnog yet, but I'm all about Starbucks Holiday flavors.

xoxoxo

28 SG November 6, 2009 at 6:21 am

I've MIIIIIIISSSSSSED you! Sorry you having such a crazy work week, I feel your pain. This is our busy season and all I want to do is go home and sleep. But you're a rockstar and I'm sure whatever you're working on will be AH-MAZ-ING just like you. Have a Fab weekend my love!

29 Yamila November 6, 2009 at 6:37 am

Hi Doll! My crazy girl!

33 Jaime November 6, 2009 at 7:26 am

Glad you're back!

Loove the eggnog latte from Sbux- def a treat! :)

Enjoy your weekend!

34 Summer November 6, 2009 at 7:27 am

Sounds like you've got a LOT going on girlie!!! Remember to take some time for yourself…you deserve it!

I'll be heading to Austin this weekend with some girlfriends to go to the UT football game! WOO HOO college football! (young, hottie college boys, streets of fun bars and dance clubs, sexy dresses, high heels and perhaps a little vodka) Can't beat that!!! :)

35 missy. November 6, 2009 at 7:49 am

girl you kick ass. this will be a walk in the park for you and before you know it it will be over and done with and you'll think "what was i stressing over..? i am just that good."

i heard the eggnog latte isn't so good. let me know what you think though, i def trust your judgment.

friday night = date night for me. saturday = crazy outta control girls night out to shake our money makers night.

i hope you enjoy yourself lady. it sounds like you need a relaxing weekend. MISS YOU, come back to me soon.

36 -city-love- November 6, 2009 at 8:00 am

eggnog lattes=just 'meh' …they're ok, but i didn't taste much of the whole eggnog thing..but still good :D

37 Kellie November 6, 2009 at 8:11 am

We've missed you doll face! Eggnog lattes sounds disgusting, but that is just me. Let us know if you try one. :)

Keep your chin up! Have some sangria (or beer, wine, champagne, whatever your fancy)! You deserve it sweetums! Happy Friday luv!

xoxo

38 Summer B. November 6, 2009 at 8:16 am

My SIZ! Each time I say that, it makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. You inspire me on a daily basis, you know that?

OK, um. I like eggnog but hate eggs. I mean am I drinking eggs? GOOO.

I LOVE YOU!

39 nicole addison November 6, 2009 at 8:22 am

43 Allison November 6, 2009 at 9:39 am

Liz, I'm sorry you're feeling so stressed…I know how just exhausting it all feels. I really do applaud you for maintaining a positive attitude (never an easy thing) through all the ups and downs.
I hope that this weekend you get to kick back and just relax (with 2 or 8 drinks) with your girlfriends! Wish I could be there when you let loose! ;)
Love you sweetie.

44 Aritza, Goddess of .. November 6, 2009 at 9:39 am

45 Allison November 6, 2009 at 9:40 am

Oh, and I'm a bigger fan of the pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks (aka what I've been getting every day). OR if you have an "It's a Grind" they have an apple pie spiced chai latte that I am CRAVING (and making J drive 20 minutes today to take me to get one!). =)
Love youuu.

46 Michelle November 6, 2009 at 9:42 am

LOL my boyfriend read your comment on my blog and goes "BBM…what the hell does that mean? Big beautiful men?! YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO BIG BEAUTIFUL MEN EACH OTHER?!?"

I'll DM you my PIN, btdubs.

47 Deana November 6, 2009 at 9:50 am

OMG I can't wait to see your hair! I feel at a total stand still with my own…since I dyed it in August, its not growing out and I feel like I am just don't know what to do. I want to feed you a cupcake right now sicne you are not eating:)
It is so great to hear from you pretty lady. I can't wait to see your shoes that you are going to buy.

48 Hanako66 November 6, 2009 at 10:45 am

kel is totally the new writer for hallmark

this is a GOOD BUSY, and you will rock their socks off…BUT I'm missing you and need a lizzy fix just about as much as my eggnog latte fix…even if you hate it, don't HATE ON MY LATTE!

52 Ams November 6, 2009 at 12:01 pm

Happy Friday! Busy is stressful, but can be good too right?!
Hang in there lovely lady… next week will be far better.
Have a drink and put your feet up tonight. You deserve it *muah*

53 ~KS November 6, 2009 at 12:38 pm

Blonde hair?!?!?! I cannot wait to see your new look… no doubt will look crazy beautiful!!!

54 nifer November 6, 2009 at 12:53 pm

I miss you my love! Good luck with your super-mysterious, high-pressure project! You're on it, so it's going to turn out FABULOUS (cuz that's what you are)!

Can't wait to see the platinum hair… just don't tell Brooke! LOL

Have a de-stress weekend! It's been a long time since I've had an eggnog latte, but I think they were ok. Read "ok" = not my fav. But I could be wrong on that.

This weekend… well tomorrow night going out to celebrate a friend's birthday, small town style! LOL Should be good. That's about it luuuuuv.

~ Jen

55 The Haute-Shopper November 6, 2009 at 1:20 pm

Ahh lady, I missed you! Don't let job stuff stress you, although, actually stress can be a good thing. But what always helped me, when I was working on campaigns that were more or less doomed to go wrong – I took a step back and reminded myself that the industry I'm in is actually completely banal and unimportant. It's not like we're performing heart surgery… no one is going to die if a few things go wrong. And all the clients that have gone completely mad before, would forget all about it by the next week anyway… haha. I just kept telling myself that I"m not going to get worked up about a TV ad that is promoting wrinkle cream. I mean seriously, if people in Africa are worried whether or not they'll have a next meal, I think it's stupid for me to worry about the outcome of a silly commercial ;-)

Have a fantastic weekend!

56 carma November 6, 2009 at 1:22 pm

It's worth it if you are getting a good line item for the resume :-) Hang in there and I hope they appreciate you soon!!

57 Tights Lover November 6, 2009 at 1:49 pm

Glad you got a chance to drop a post. Hope you have a great weekend!!

58 thefatandskinnyonfashion November 6, 2009 at 2:41 pm

Can;t wait to see pics of your hair and your new shoes!

59 Brunch at Saks November 6, 2009 at 3:37 pm

Hi lovey! So excited about your new blonde locks! I'm going to DM you on Twitter right now about something, but I may need to email you instead cause it those dang Twit boxes dont allow for enough convo! Love youuuuu! XO

60 Brown Girl November 6, 2009 at 4:13 pm

I miss being able to read blogs and post. Work sucks being weenie sometimes. Ugh. Miss g-stalking you! ;) Have a lovely weekend

61 Closet Cravings November 6, 2009 at 4:17 pm

I love your photo caption. Mad me laugh.

If you reward yourself with some Loubies, I wan to see a picture of them. I'll vicariously reward myself too. =)

62 eQ November 6, 2009 at 4:28 pm

Yay for new loubies! Enjoy your weekend, you've earned it :)

63 Keith November 6, 2009 at 7:38 pm

Good luck. I wish you the best. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope it all works out. Take care. Enjoy the weekend. Cheers!

64 Chef Green November 6, 2009 at 8:25 pm

Girl, that "mean muggin whore" comment had me howling with the first f'ing line! You are a goddess of all things delish.

You need a drink? I gotta drink. I'm drinking now. Just for you. And my innate alcoholism.

Hey, you never sent me your number, so I can't give you that call you insist upon! Or if you did, I'm super smart and lost it: so try again LOL

best of luck with all of your glamourous but difficult undertakings!

65 siovhan November 6, 2009 at 8:34 pm

"so i creep…yeah"
you are hysterical miss lizzy.
i hope today was fabulous and that you know you're a huge asset to your job. i know they couldn't do it without you.
big cyber hugs. xoxo.

66 ema.leigh November 6, 2009 at 9:57 pm

"you're a mean muggin whore with bad hair and ugly shoes!"

this is my new favorite quote. I will use this tomorrow, that is a promise. thanks for the laugh. ;)

67 Diana November 6, 2009 at 10:07 pm

i love hearing about your being busy! i need the inspiration, lol!
i love reading on your road to success!

btw, maybe your next post you can have a tutorial on heels!

68 OceanDreams November 7, 2009 at 1:05 am

Hang in there because you are going to rock this project and it will be great for your career and resume, which is so freaking fantastic!! Your blonde locks are going to rock too, and you know it! Hope you have a great weekend and looking forward to having you stalk us again soon! XOXO!

69 Dream Sequins November 7, 2009 at 12:45 pm

I would totally watch that documentary: the journey from brunette to platinum blonde. :) We miss you! Damn!

70 fatima November 7, 2009 at 3:11 pm

Oh my, I feel your pain. I am so happy now though. LOL…Glad I got to catch up on your blog this week and that we are back in touch!

72 Gabbi November 7, 2009 at 3:49 pm

Gorgeous Liz, stopping by to wish you a wonderful weekend (though Saturday is 1/2 way done now) and to tell you that I love your new hair idea! Honestly, if I wasn't so very olivie brown I would've dyed it blonde too, just to give it a go. Can't wait to see how it looks… also, I've never tried an eggnog latte but it does sound intriguing and perfect for the season… ♥

73 Rachel Follett November 7, 2009 at 4:09 pm

It seems like this week has been hard for a lot of us. Hope your having a great weekend!

74 SG November 7, 2009 at 5:04 pm

So I just saw on US Weekly that Taylor is no longer working with Rachel Zoe. Supposedly she was fired. Umm I die. Guess she won't be on next season. So sad.

75 Carissa November 7, 2009 at 6:31 pm

I am often a perfectionist and a pleaser too, and I totally understand how that can lead to anxiety city! hopefully you were able to de-stress and let loose a little today, shaking your money maker perhaps? haha.

I'm so excited to see your new, fabulous blonde look (see how I already know it will be fabulous?) and I am also so jealous that you will be getting some Loubies soon! but, if you post a pic I will live vicariously through you.

oh, and I haven't tried the eggnog latte, I'm not a fan of eggnog, but I did try the gingerbread latte the other day. it was OK, but pumpkin spice is still No. 1 for fall-flavored lattes!

76 E November 8, 2009 at 2:10 am

You have very great blog!

xoxo E

77 Llama November 8, 2009 at 4:25 am

You are hysterical girl! First, love the reference to TLC…damn I miss them LOL! Second, you seem to be doing the right thing at work, even if it sucks now it will pay off in the end! Keep up the good work…hope you have a drink this weekend and ENJOY! :)

78 Chic 'n Cheap Living November 8, 2009 at 7:07 am

Bug *hug* girl. Blonde hair? Oooh, can't wait to see. Hope you had a fab weekend!

79 .:*aMbAr*:. November 8, 2009 at 1:16 pm

Oh Lizzie, Liz I've missed u too!! Please be a creep soon! LOL

I wish that was my face too! And lemme know how the eggnog latte thing goes, I wanna try them, but I'm not a big eggnog fan either.

80 Nicole Marie November 8, 2009 at 1:39 pm

you're awesome lady and all the hard work will pay off. heres to lots of eggnog….and maybe add some extra rum and vodka to it :)

81 LENORENEVERMORE November 8, 2009 at 2:56 pm

Hang in there darling…busy bee get the honey-you are the queen I hope!
Big xo & all the best okie*

82 Meghan November 8, 2009 at 5:46 pm

Take your time and we'll keep reading. Oh and if you're not a fan of eggnog you make like the peppermint mocha lattes better from the 'Bucks :)

83 Margarita November 8, 2009 at 9:59 pm

Darling, we'll always be here, life is fabulous and to blog about it is fabulous – but never feel bad about not blogging. When life gets busy, you get more blogging material anyway!!

I know you'll do great, and I seriously can't wait to see the new do!

84 learnxtoxfly November 9, 2009 at 7:00 am

Don't worry about being busy, as said, we will still always be here for you. =]

And eggnog is amazing IMO, I do want to try that latte.

85 Ela November 10, 2009 at 8:12 am

Kinda, sorta, missed you…a LOT!

I know you are getting in the heart of that mess and straigthening it all out. My Lizzy Whizzy to the rescue because you rock! And sooo excited about that doc – can't wait to see it!

Ewww…I hate eggnog…maybe it's cause it's got the word 'egg' in it but can't do it…
