Leaving it Behind

I’m sorry I couldn’t handle it,
I’m sorry I don’t like lies.
I’m sorry you couldn’t see it, before you made me cry.

If you could take back all those things you said,
It wouldn’t change a thing.
For a short while, you did make my heart sing.

Then you said more words that only covered up the truth,
Confirming my opinion of your way with girls…
Uncouth.

So take your filthy lies and cover your silly face,
And I’ll go on with what’s left of my dignity,
Walking forward with grace.

Wishing & Hoping & Planning & Dreaming

So I’ve been told some news… good or bad for me I have yet to determine. Hoping, wishing and praying that it is good; I sit here and ponder…. If it is bad, I will have to change my lifestyle more than I already have and learn to deal with what is. If it be good, I will be able to gain some needed material things that would only make my life easier. So, here I am: fingers, toes, eyes (when able), legs, arms and hairs crossed…. Curled up in a fetal position, praying this will all turn out okay.

Giggle Fits

So just have to share:

I was walking down the hall at work today (carrying on with my job as usual) and I was stopped by a guy from correspondent. He asks, "Did you grow up on a farm?" I was like, "What?!?!" I was flattered, yet in the same breath super confused!! Why on earth would he think that I grew up on a farm?? As you all well know, I don't dress like a farmer or talk like one.... So I asked... The response? "Well, you carry a lot of files and most of the girls around here only carry four and act like they are going to die.... or they cart around one!" I laughed... Coming from a family of girls has only made each of us have a "get down & dirty" and "git r done" side! So thanks to Mum & Pops for raising us right! ;)


Secondly.... Some of you know that my driver's side window in my van is stuck open... Recently, the conversation about my window has moved to the "what if you were attacked" level. Even if I was, it wouldn't do me any good to run to my van! So, as I'm leaving work today, I walked out with a coworker, Jeff. He thought he had parked his truck on the 3rd level and took the stairs, while I walked out to my van on the 2nd level. I get in the van and get settled with my back to my door. Then, someone grabbed my arm and said, "HEY!!" Needless to say, I about piddled my pants and had a coronary while letting out a quite girlish screech!! I turned and pulled away and saw Jeff bent over laughing... He stupidly forgot which floor he was parked on and ended up parking a few cars away from me. He also knew about my window and saw the perfect opportunity. While it could be scary, it is also quite funny!!

This concludes my giggle fits for today!

Warm Fuzzy Day

So today my boss asked me what my deal was... I responded with a "Huh?". He said... "You have changed!" At this point I got a little nervous. I said "What?". He replied with, "You are just happy all the time... It's a good change!"
I've been thinking the rest of the afternoon what or when or why or how this change took place. I have come to the conclusion that whoever sent me the email on Ducks vs. Eagles deserves a big hug and a gold star. I have not been able to forget it.... and yes, I will admit it has changed my thinking....
The email goes something like this: ducks sit around and quack and quack and complain while eagles soar above the crowd. #1... Ducks are not my favorite animal. The only way I like them are stuffed on the wall... and even then, they collect dust and make me sneeze. In short... I just don't like them. #2... After reading that email and realizing I was becoming or already was a duck, really made me like ducks even LESS!! #3... I do not want to be a duck or anything like a duck.
So, my conclusion is that this email has helped me change my outlook on life in general. One big thanks to whoever that may have been!

My Birthday!





























So I guess I live around some pretty cool people... My sister surprised me with a cake the Friday before my birthday (to which I was sorely against). Then on my birthday, Joanne took me to the art garden downtown (and Karissa came too) and we finished off the evening by meeting the boys for dinner at Figlios & onto Zenos for dessert! Here are a few photos.....
