Ok, so the week is 1/2 over. Finally. Ooo and it's 11:11! Make a wish!
So, things are good. I thought I would have more to write ... but it seems like I don't. Just the usual stuff. Happy hour tomorrow ... I promise myself it will be an early night. I can't stay out so late anymore. Not to mention it's getting to be freakin expensive.
I guess .. well, no .. not that either. I was gonna say that my allergies are bothering me today, and that's new, but it's not because they've been bothering me all week.
I'm excited about tomorrow night though. Ken gets home around 7-ish, so I will be home around then too. And then we are having date night! Dinner and a movie possibly. At least dinner and maybe a movie at home. I borrowed a few from my mom.
Hrm .. I am at a total loss of words here. Ok, well instead of babbling on, I will end this here.
I've always wanted to travel. I want to save my money, take 3 months off from work and travel around the world.
I would start by flying to the east coast and visit family. From there I would fly to Europe and go to everywhere I could imagine. Ireland, England, Germany, Netherlands, Poland, Italy, France, Spain ...

From Europe I would travel to Asia. I would see some of the sites in China, Japan, Korea, and wherever else I can think of. 
I would then head to Australia and hang out in the outback. 
From there I would go to Hawaii, because I've always wanted to go there. 
And then I would come back to Arizona.
I would take lots of pictures and keep a journal of places that I enjoyed or didn't enjoy and why.
Of course, it would be a lot more detailed than that. Those are just the main areas.
I love to dream ...
Why?? Cramps! Ugh! If it's not one thing it's another. I hate being anywhere with cramps. It just hurts so much. I'll be going to lunch soon so I will go to the grocery store and get some pain meds (yes!).
Ok, well other than that things are good. Friday was mom's birthday. We had Rigatoni Ala Vodka and fruit custard pie. Saturday was laundry day. Sunday was Easter.
Ken and I went to breakfast again on Sunday (horray!), and I had my usual Corned Beef Hash and Eggs. Yummy. Then went to PC Club and got myself a new Video Card - Nvidia GT 6600. Much better for WoW.
So Ken and I show up at my parents house, and just like every year I got my Easter basket full 'o chocolate, which is now in my freezer at home with a BIG note on it, so if anyone eats it I will personally hurt them. Anywho, dinner consisted of a spiral cut ham with pineapples marinated in prickly pear syrup, sweet potatoes, corn bread, potato-tomato-onion casserole, and canned corn. What an awesome dinner it was! I have some left-overs at home (unless Ken had them this morning). Then for dessert -- Creme Brule! My fav. It was nice to spend time with the fam.
So .. it's Monday. And I'm hungry now talking about all that food. I think I'm going to lunch.
Ugh .. that's it .. I am so done. I feel like crap today. Happy hour was fun, but I am so not even drinking anymore. It's freakin expensive for one thing, and I end up feeling like crap the day after. We went to karoake last night too. I'm sore.
I am nothing but complaints today .. so I'm going to stop. I don't like myself being negative. Makes me feel worse.
On a happier note, I love Ken. He makes me very happy. He knows how to make me smile when I am down. I need to smile. Thinking of him makes me smile. I like that. I look at pictures of us and that makes me happy. I close my eyes and I feel him hold me. ::happy sigh::
I can't wait to see him tonight. I wish i could get up earlier to go to work so I could be home earlier to see him. But noooo I'm a lazy ass :(
Today is mom's birthday. We are going over to have dinner and cake. Next week we're going out to dinner. It's our tradition to go out to a restaraunt for birthdays. I like that. A special treat.
I need a vacation. I want to go to Europe or back to the Bahamas. It was nice there.
I feel a bit better now. Sorry 'bout that.
A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked, "How heavy is this glass of water?"
Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g.
The lecturer replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it. If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance.
In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes." He continued, "And that's the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on."
As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden."
"So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can."
So, my friend, why not take a while to just simply RELAX. Put down anything that may be a burden to you right now. Don't pick it up again until after you've rested a while.
Life is short
Enjoy it
Here are some great ways of dealing with the burdens of life:
* Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue.
* Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.
* Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.
* Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their maker.
* If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
* If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
* It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
* Never buy a car you can't push.
* Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won't have a leg to stand on.
* Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
* Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.
* The second mouse gets the cheese.
* When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
* Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.
* You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.
* Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
* We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names, and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box.
*A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
is that is important.
Don't play games or give guilt trips because you don't want to tell me that.
