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.....

Can't stop singing this song....

Boys Like Girls
Lyrics to Heels Over Head :
I got your runaway smile in my piggybank baby
Gonna cash it right in for a new Mercedes
You were worth the hundred thousand miles
But you couldn't stay awhile
I got your little brown shirt in my bottom drawer baby
And your little white socks in the top drawer
You were always leaving your shit around
And gone without a sound
Yeah I'm the first to fall and the last to know
Where'd you go?
Now I'm heels over headI'm hangin' upside down
Thinking how you left me for dead
California bound

I got a first class ticket to a night all alone
And a front row seat up right by the phone
Cause you're always on my mind
And I'm running out of time
I've got your hair on my pillow and your smell in my sheets
And it makes me think about you with the sand in your feet
Is it all you thought it'd be?
You mean everything to me
But I'm the first to fall and the last to know
And where'd you go?
You're burnin' bridges babyBurnin' bridges, making wishesYeah you're burnin' bridges

Chance taker, heartbreaker
Got me wrapped around your
Maybe you'll finally see
And then you'll turn it all around and you'll come back to me

Wandering

Wandering... through the crowded streets,
Just searching for my friend I am to meet.
I stop & scan the sidewalk & shops....
Still no sign of her.
I meander on with my eyes still searching...
Taking in every shop, stand and festival goer.
I catch a glimpse of someone and I have to look again.
It's no one I know, but he stares back at me.
With a charming & disarming curiousity he grins.
I smile & blush & start to walk away.
He calls out to me requesting my name.
I turn & wander away...
Just thinking what would have happened if I had stayed.

Time Will Tell

Haven't updated this in a while due to the lack of internet... All is well here, work is still the same and we're moving to a small house at the end of the month... Will be relieved to be out of the apartments!! Here's a note from last month:

He confuses me, like some silly riddles and rhymes,

But being so close to him makes me want to call him mine.

He looks at me and smiles,

For him, I’d go the extra mile.

Does he know? Does he care? Does he notice when I’m not there?

Time will tell, as it is its claim to fame.

Maybe this boy won’t be so lame.
