Day 147 - 2012 Exhasuted

I have been one exhausted girl lately.  Seems life is throwing some curve balls and I am just a batting away.   Some of fun, some not so much.  But all are teaching me valuable lessons.  Life is all about lessons.  Though at the moment I feel like a crazy woman.  I am completely exhausted and would love sleep my life away. Okay not away but for most of the day.  I cannot do that, so I struggle through, make decisions, work hard and try to laugh a lot. Thankful for B. He is sticking beside me though i feel crazy!   Exhausted or not the show must go on!  Have a fun night y'all!  I am going to bed!

Day 146 - 2012 Ideal Life

Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.

Mark Twain

That quote is true in so many ways.

Have a great day!

Day 145- 2012 Tropical Storm Debby

Debby is pelting Florida. We are a hot soggy mess. Houses and streets flooded. Bridges collapsing, streets crumbling, sinkholes forming. Crazy stuff.
 White Springs FL Panacea Fl
 This boat has now sunk from soo much rain  
used to be a dock off of Hwy 98  
What is left of a bridge in Suwanee county 
Hwy 67 in Franklin County
 hwy 90

 This storm is a nice reminder that sometimes mother nature is a b@tch! She just will not let up. We are foretasted for at least 5 more days of this wet wet weather! Let's hope something gives before the state of Florida sinks into the ocean! Hope you guys have a very dry day!

Day 144 - 2012 Dreams

Lately B and I have been dreaming about a lot of things,  dream vacations, dream houses, dream jobs, basically anything you could dream about  It has been nice. It is funny how much we have in common and sometimes how surprised he gets by me liking some of the same things as he does.  For example Eureka.. He never thought I would like that show, yet I do.  I know it is geeky, but it is funny and has mystery to it and well frankly keeps me entertained.

Our dream vacations are the same and we both agree we need to start saving so we can actually go on at least one of them. That or win the lotto, but that requires us to play and we both would rather put that money in savings.

It is nice to dream.. though I am much more of a dreamer than he is.  He is definitely the realist in our relationship.  Always has been.  Though he is coming around to my side.. bwhahahaha :D

Dreaming is good. It is healthy and frankly I love to dream!

Cheers to many more happy dreams!

Day 143- 2012 Waiting tables

Somedays I miss waiting tables. I miss the compradore between the servers and cooks. Instant cash. Fast pace. After work parties. Yummy food. Industry discounts. I really did love being in the service industry. Life was simpler. Money was good. And the biggest stress was getting the order right and out to the table in a timely fashion. Waiting tables rocked! One of the best jobs ever!

Everyone should work in the service industry. It helps you deal with difficult personalities. It teaches you respect. And how to work hard towards your end goal of a good tip. And teaches you to deal with disappointments when that good tip doesn't happen even though you deserved it!

Face life with the zest you would if you worked in the service industry. You might be pleasantly surprised by the results!

Have a fabulous day!

Day 142 - 2012 Treat others nicely!

Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you. Love me and I may be forced to love you.

William Arthur Ward

I love that quote!  Treat others the way you want to be treated.  If you want to be loved, love others, if you want to be treated like crap, then treat others like crap.  Whatever you want, be that.  People, from adults to kids, mimic how they are treated.  If someone smiles at you, you cannot help but smile back. If someone is frowning, you tend to frown.  It is hard to always keep a smile on your face, but it feel so good when you are able too.   I try every day to follow this advice.  Some days I fail but some days, some days I win.  Those days are the best day!

Have a fabulous drama free day!

Day 141 - 2012 Great Group of Core Friends

I have many groups of friends.  All have their use and need in my life.  But I love my core group of friends.  They are an amazing group of women (and some men too) but the women make me happy.  They are there for me, anytime I need them. We bounce ideas,  life's up and downs and more off of each other.  They lift me up with I am down, they make me laugh every time I talk to them.  They love me for me, the whole hot mess that I am.   They love me in spite of me.  They are so excited at any thing good that happens in my life and share the bad times with me.  I am such a lucky girl to have such amazing women in my life!  Not sure if I could get through life without them!

Love you ladies!
