thank you for calling USC admission, this is Elise, how can I help you?

E7jvj8I just had a great time out at La Barca with the Admission Staff.  The USC Admission Staff.  Not the counselors, although I love them because they let Robbie in, but the interns.  The kids.  The cool people.

Good times.  Realized that funny stuff occurs in the office.  That really funny stuff occurs.  That as much as I complain it about it, it is probably by far the best job on campus.  That I should work more hours.  That it is going to be a good year next year.

And yes, I said year, not semester.  Maybe if I say it daily, Mom and Dad will forget they were going to save $17,000 if I graduated early.

And yes, they serve alcohol at La Barca.  Solid.

And no, Matt and Pete do not work with me.  But they should.  They generate the phone calls.

My name is Elise Blaha Cripe. I live in San Diego, California with my husband and our two young daughters.

I make stuff like it's my job.

In 2015 I launched GET TO WORK BOOK®, a daily planner + goal-setting journal. In October 2019, my book about getting stuff done, Big Dreams, Daily Joys hit bookstores everywhere. For almost ten years, this blog was where I shared (daily!) general life musings, insight into being a small business owner and the occasional craft project. In 2021, I am sharing again as we prepare to move back home to Northern California and renovate our dream cottage. I have closed comments, but feel free to email me at elise[@]gettoworkbook.com if you have any questions about a post you see here.

If you're new here, I invite you to browse the archives, read my small business story or start with some of my favorite things to write about, DIY home decor & goal-setting. You can also listen to my motivational speech about the power of making bold statements.

Still looking for more content? Listen to my creative podcast, take one of my eCourses or subscribe to my newsletter.

Thank you so much for dropping by.
