Day 77 - 2012 Crazy town

This week has been a week that feels like I have been in Crazy Town ALL week, with a bunch of people who have either lost their minds, are stressed beyond seeing other sides of things, over worked, under appreciated, demanding, unrealistic and I could go on but you get the picture right?

Wow this week has been draining and has flown by.   I started this post 1  2    3 days ago.  3... wow  and just now getting back to it, yet not for long.  More crazy things are popping up.   Even today, it seems things just cannot slow down for me to finish. At least things are never boring right?

Day 76- 2012 Contemplation

So this weekend I was able to get a lot of me time.  Which meant a lot of thinking.  Thinking about different things.  It is funny how with friends, well at least with me and my friends, I do not have a "set" of criteria.  Really I do not care what you look like, what you do for a job, as long as you are a nice person who has a good aura or is just a good person on the wrong path.  As long as there is good, I am willing to give a friendship a go. Now with a significant other.  I have some set criteria, though even those are subject to change. My wants change with my mood. I do know that I need someone who is multi-versatile... More on this a later day. Sorry to keep you hanging

Day 75-2012 Beautiful Day

Wow today is gorgeous! The sun is shining it is in the 70's. Nice breeze. It was a fabulous day for a run and bike ride. Good people watching too! I love seeing coupled flirting with each other. One or both acting coy. So refreshing and innocent. Great day. Hope you enjoyed it too!

Day 74-2012 Holly the homemaker on a rainy day

Today I woke up late but made up for that quickly. I worked out showered made breakfast than decided to make a almond marble pound cake. Well it started our oatmeal cookies and then I decided that could wait so then I decided on a lemon pound cake to deciding chocolate would be good soooooo I changed lemon to almond. And make my pound cake the. Added a cocoa cream cheese mixture and made this quite yummy marble pound cake


Then I started making a veggie dish with Indian spices for dinner and decided bread would be yummy. So I made homemade French bread. Two loaves. Not to shabby for my first attempt as long as you put butter or some kind of jam/syrup. All in All not bad and I made it. All me from scratch. I think this recipe would have made a yummy pizza crust. May have to try to make that tomorrow hmmmmm

Day 73 - 2012 Thankful and Frisky

Today I am very thankful.  Thankful for a roof over my head, a car to drive, fabulous friends and amazing  family.  I am also very frisky (and thankful)  thanks to my wonderful book club books read this month. Fifty Shades of Grey.  Wow this book is intense. I feel naughty and dirty, yet at the same time, intrigued with where this story is going.  I feel as though I am like the main character in a way.  The book delves into a realm of sex I have never entered, well not really,  but that has always caught my curiosity.   I can see the main characters internal dialogue, as one I would have with myself.  In some ways, I think this guy is one of the men in my dreams.  He is strong, he is sexy, he has a sense of authority about him and demands attention.  I tend me to drawn to men like this. Though as I am reading, I actual contemplate, whether I could do some of the things he is proposing.  I want to keep reading because I want to find out more. I want to know what all he is into and in a way how far am I willing to admit I would like to go. It fascinates me, I want to know more, I want to keep reading.  This book sucks you in, you feel one with the main character.  Your breath races as her does. You get wet as she does. It is really an intense book.  I am super excited to finish it and to know that there are 2 more following it. It is like a Harlequin novel, but different, more real, more intense.  More me.  More of what I would see me doing if I was her.  I can feel the excitement and eagerness, with the hesitations and concerns, she feels.  Very good read so far! Cannot wait to discuss with friends!.   Love this quote because I feel like this book is helping me reawaken some things I had forgotten about and opening me up to a whole new world.  Exciting and scary all at once.  Have a fabulous day!!

" We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aid, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn." Henry David Thoreau

Day 72 - 2012 Happy Day

Today has started off a happy day.  No clue why either.  I do not like my clothes I am wearing, was not happy with the weight I weighed in at (but trying to remember I am building a lot of muscle lately)  I may just need to step up my cardio to an hour a day instead of 30 mins, had to stop for gas, yet I am still smiling.  This is a happy day even if I have to eat oats for breakfast :( boo yuck... But it is good for  me :)  A day where a meeting, ALMOST got me in a bad mood.  I can handle some bitching, and negative comments, but after awhile it gets to me.  Today though, I did not.  Today I am smiling and keeping it up.

Today's quote (since I have been slacking a bit)


"There's only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self." ...Aldous Huxley

and (oh yeah you get two)

"People spend a lifetime searching for happiness; looking for peace. They chase idle dreams, addictions, religions, even other people, hoping to fill the emptiness that plagues them. The irony is the only place they ever needed to search was within." ... Ramona L. Anderson

They both fall under today's topic kind of.  Be yourself, make yourself happy (it is a hard long road) but keep doing it and "fake it until you make it baby"  That is my fave quote.  It is all about faking until you make it. So keep that smile on, do your best to grit your teeth through the idiocracy that is out there, find what makes you happy, and all else really will fall into place. Have a happy day!

Day 71 - 2012 I See Stupid People

I see Stupid silly people everywhere.  They cannot drive properly, they ask questions that make you go, HUH?.  They keep doing the same action over and over that causes them grief but hope things will change. I know I am not perfect.  I am one of those stupid silly people at times.  It just seems that lately there are a lot of repeat offenders. It is like they cannot learn from their mistakes or are so used to people just covering them that they cannot do anything for themselves or change their very annoying behavior.  I am an idiot some days and am the first to admit it.  But some of these people, I really really would love to fail trying to teach them to breathe under water. Those are the people that will surely go first in a Zombie apocalypse (like how I threw that in there?).  They must right? Or they will be the person that gets the rest of us killed due to their stupid silly action.  So I equate any given day to dodging zombies aka stupid silly people.  I dodge their attitudes so they do not effect me, I dodge their same exact questions over and over again, I do my best to keep a smile on my face and sometimes do let out the words, "Bless your heart." and that makes me smile.

The day ended with me curled up with my favorite little kitty reading a book, no stupid silly people in sight.  It was a nice end to a very frustrating day.
