Stop and Smell the Roses

My friend Tara forwarded this to me today, and I thought I would share it with you. Keep things in perspective...ya know?

READ THIS VERY SLOWLY. . . . . . IT'S PRETTY PROFOUND.
>
>Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because
>they haven't thought about it, don't have it on their schedule, didn't
>know it was coming or are too rigid to depart from their routine.
>
>I got to thinking one day about all those women on the Titanic who
>passed up dessert at dinner that fateful night in an effort to cut back.
>From then on, I've tried to be a little more flexible.
>
>How many women out there will eat at home because their husband didn't
>suggest going out to dinner until after something had been thawed? Does
>the word "refrigeration" mean nothing to you?
>
>How often have your kids dropped in to talk and sat in silence while you
>watched 'Jeopardy' on television?
>
>I cannot count the times I called my sister and said, "How about going
>to lunch in a half hour?" She would gasp and stammer, "I can't. I have
>clothes on the line. My hair is dirty. I wish I had known yesterday, I
>had a late breakfast, It looks like rain." And my personal favorite:
>"It's Monday."
>She died a few years ago. We never did have lunch together.
>
>Because Americans cram so much into their lives, we tend to schedule our
>headaches. We live on a sparse diet of promises we make to ourselves
>when all the conditions are perfect!
>
>We'll go back and visit the grandparents when we get Stevie toilet-trained.
>
>We'll entertain when we replace the living-room carpet.
>
>We'll go on a second honeymoon when we get two more kids out of college.
>
>Life has a way of accelerating as we get older. The days get shorter,
>and the list of promises to ourselves gets longer. One morning, we
>awaken, and all we have to show for our lives is a litany of "I'm going
>to", "I plan on" , and "Someday, when things are settled down a bit."
>
>When anyone calls my 'seize the moment' friend, she is open to adventure
>and available for trips. She keeps an open mind on new ideas. Her
>enthusiasm for life is contagious. You talk with her for five minutes,
>and you're ready to trade your bad feet for a pair of Rollerblades and
>skip an elevator for a bungee cord.
>
>My lips have not touched ice cream in 10 years. I love ice cream. It's
>just that I might as well apply it directly to my stomach with a spatula
>and eliminate the digestive process. The other day, I stopped the car
>and bought a triple-decker. If my car had hit an iceberg on the way
>home, I would have died happy.
>
>Now...go on and have a nice day. Do something you WANT to......not
>something on your SHOULD DO list..
>
>If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could
>make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you
>waiting?
>
>Make sure you read this to the end; you will understand why I sent this
>to you.
>
>Have you ever watched kids playing on a merry go round or listened to
>the rain lapping on the ground? Ever followed a butterfly's erratic
>flight or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
>
>Do you run through each day on the fly? When you ask "How are you?"
>Do you hear the reply?
>
>When the day is done, do you lie in your bed with the next hundred
>chores running through your head?
>
>Ever told your child, "We'll do it tomorrow." And in your haste, not see
>his sorrow?
>
>Ever lost touch? Let a good friendship die? Just call to say "Hi"?
>
>When you worry and hurry through your day! ay, It is like an unopened
>gift....Thrown away... Life is not a race. Take it slower. Hear the
>music before the song is over.
>
>It's National Friendship Week. Show your friends how much you care. Send
>this to everyone you consider a FRIEND. If it comes back to you, then
>you'll know you have a circle of friends.
>
>Thanks for being my friend.

>Make yourself familiar with the angels and behold them frequently in
>spirit...For without being seen, they are present with you.

Friday List
You may be reading this blogger and wondering, "Where does this person work??!"

Well, I actually have two jobs. My main job is in a financial aid office at a sixth-tier university. Talk about insanity. I have never met so many anal people in my life! I've been cussed at, screamed at, obscene jestures pointed my way. One good thing..I haven't been assulted. Yet.

You may wonder how I deal with the insanity. Well, this will be the basis of my first ( all together now) Friday List!!!!!!!!!!!!!
::cue circus music::

Ten Ways to Deal with an Annoying Job

10. Play on the Internet as much as possible. If questioned, tell Employer that you are marketing yourself.
9. Write songs about how much employment sucks. Set them to guitar music and play them at the next Open Mic.
8. Sit on the floor and stretch. Do it often.
7. Sing. Loudly. Extra bonus: You can show off your songs about how much employment sucks.
6. Take pens, rubber bands, and paper clips and make models of the universe. Or design your own house.
5. Each time Employer passes by, burst into giggles. If asked why you are laughing, look at them innocently and say, "Nothing."
4. Give unsolicited fashion advice to everyone who comes in.
3. Make business cards for yourself. Post them on every singles website you know.
2. Picture how Employer would look in a mumu, zoot soot, or any other tacky outfit you can think of.

And, number one.......

1. Make up stupid Friday lists!!!!!!!

June 13, 2002

Well, what have I done today?

--Worked
--Didn't kill anyone
--Went to McDonald's
--Still didn't kill anyone
--Bible study

That's about it. Fascinating, huh?
Last night was cool, though. My roommate had a birthday party at Chelino's, and a bunch of us went. I had a chicken quesidilla, beans and rice, and LOTS of tortilla chips. ::drool:: It took me half an hour for me to decide what I wanted, though. I think the waitress was getting fed up. ;-)

I tend to annoy waitstaff, though, because I tend to make issue out of things that aren't that big a deal. Example: One time, I had a bill of $5.87. I handed the waiter a $10. I only get back $4. Now, anyone else would just not call him on it, but I did. I asked for the rest of my money. I guess an alternative would be to call that his tip. ;-) Evil, huh?

Weird Website of the Week

euh?


Check it out....it's just totally pointless and totally addicting. Basically, it's a bunch of random webpages about nothing. You'll have to go to the site to just understand the wonders of this page.

It even has a Pong game!!!! (I adore old-school games like that....)

Tired

Exhausted. Hungry. Need to use restroom. Cranky.

Get the picture?

Na-than!

Morning has broken....like the first morning.....
Blackbird has spoken....like the first bird....


Early morning for me. I had to be at work at 9 am. Usually I don't go in until 10.

You know, I am not a morning person. I would rather stay up until 2 am than wake up at 6 am. I didn't get home last night until 12:30. I went out with a bunch of my friends. Anyway, we ended up staying until midnight. Us women (Ellen, Misty, Melissa, and I) were talking about Nathan, a HOTTIE who taught our swing dance class last Friday. You know the movie, "Undercover Brother"? Instant cult classic in my set. Anyway, you know how UB keeps saying "So-lid!" with his fist up! Well, we were going "Na-than!" JW (another friend) had the idea to go to the movie dressed in retro gear. You know, like the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Unfortunately, we haven't done that yet. Sigh. I know where we could find medallions, though.

"So-lid!"

Okay....

So I'm back. Again. Hmmmm........

Uhm....nothing to talk about, yet. I am wondering something....how do I publicize my site? Not to be a blog pimp or anything, but I would like people to read this. Even if just to think, "What an idiot this chick is."

I tried to get on Metafilter, but it wouldn' let me in on my old name. I even tried to make a new username, but they aren't taking new members. Hmmmm...any directories for this?

Better run.

Version 2.0?

Welcome to my second attempt at a blogger.

My first attempt, unfortunately, was somewhat of a failure. It failed because I came to the realization that I was trying to be what I was not, and putting up a web persona that wasn't me.

Now, I am pretty much starting over. It has been about a year since I have blogged. Because of this, I may need to relearn the finer things about blogging. For instance, I am trying to figure out just how in the Hades to post my email address on the sidebar. I will figure this out soon, hopefully, so you can send me hate mail. :-) No spam, though. I'll have to personally kill you if you send spam. Or pornography. Trust me--I can.

Okay, end Mean Da.
