Pretty Little Mistakes
Pretty Little Mistakes is the new book I bought yesterday. It is written by Heather McElhatton and published by Harper Collins. Do you remember those choose your own adventure books you read when you were a kid? This book is it, for adults. So far, I have died of a heart attack in a courtroom, started a cancer charity, and traveled with drug dealers in Europe. It is quick to read one story, and then you can go back and make different choices and have a whole other story. very cool. I recommend checking it out!
driving…
me crazy this week are:
People who ignore the express lane signs.
People who ignore the fact that while i am ringing up and packing their groceries for them, all of the bags on the carosel are full. seriously, please just put them in your cart.
People who get irritated with me when: their credit card is declined, they don’t have enough money on their food stamp card to pay for all of their groceries, and when I hand them back their checks, since we do checks electronically. I can understand once, but really, there is nothing i can do about it. all of these things are out of my control.
People who have their kids, little kids, at the store past 10 at night, feeding them highly caffinated soft drinks…no wonder they are crabby, ADD, sleepy during the day. People, kids thrive when they have structure and schedule. Stop trying to be their best friend and be a PARENT. they are only 4 years old, they can handle it. and if not, that is what therapists are for later in life.
oh, the joy of working memorial day weekend.
Lucy the Lobelia
lucy. I decided that is the name of my new Lobelia hanging plant that I planted today. My first real foray into gardening. It is purple and blue and I am hoping it looks real pretty in a couple of weeks. right now, it is looking kind of peaked. i should post a picture of it, i just don’t have the energy right now.
I had a job interview today! cross your fingers and pray to whatever God you pray to that I get this job. I really, really want it. its at a bank, which means great hours. I think the interview went really well. So here’s hoping! i find out at the end of next week.
Ok, off to ice my ankle for awhile before I have to go to an open house then work tonight.
Lost-Season Finale
Ok, I am going to just empty my brain here about everything I just saw on the Lost season Finale.
Desmond, Charlie and the Looking Glass: Say It isn’t so! if Charlie is dead, I am so sad. actually, i did start to cry. Desmond, the spear gun rocked! Mikhail-i will get to him later. The Good Vibrations tune…does that have any significance? You know, in this show, it all does. So i am guessing we will hear more about that later. and so Desmond is now in the Looking Glass alone. Does he dare try to leave? Because Mikhail is up on the surface somewhere…
Mikhail-is he invinceable? I mean, first the sonic fence, then the spear gun, and really, the man had to lose his eye somehow. Something to ponder.
Flashforwards-shocked me! So, whose funeral was it? my guess is it is someone who wasn’t considered a friend by anyone, so maybe Ben (but would he ever leave his precious island?) or Locke, but i don’t see him leaving the island either, something I just realized as I typed this. So, any ideas?
The purpose of the island- Now, From what I heard I was going to find this out. I didn’t. though we know that they are able to be rescued. My guess is, with everything we know about the island, that it has some kind of healing property, and everyone who was on flight 815 had something that needed to be healed. and some of them have found that healing, some have not yet. Almost like they can’t die until they find that healing. for example, Charlie, no longer heroin addicted, Eko, felt at peace again about his brother’s death, i could probably go on and on.
Jack’s father-possibly still alive? i dont’ know, i have to watch that part again, thank God for DVR.
Naomi-Ok, is she a “bad guy.” what do the “bad guys” want with the island?
Kate-is she married to Sawyer now? or who could be the “he” she refered to?
I am going to watch this again tomorrow I think.
They told me we would have answers, I just feel like I have more questions.
I would love to hear what the rest of you thought, and if you have any possible theories or answers! Please!
Mama Mia!
| You Are Totally Like Your Mom |
 You and your mom are practically clones. You think alike, and you even seem to read each other’s minds. You’re definitely you’re mother’s child… and that’s just fine with you. |
Really, I could have told you the answer to this. The other day we were shopping in Wal-mart, and said at the exact same time, “we should buy a wrench.” WHO SAYS THAT NORMALLY?!?!? We had talked about borrowing one from my brother a couple of days ago…So strange. And me living in the same house with her, just compounds the same-ness. But i love her! I have to, I am just like her!
Dear Fellow Quarter Life Crisisers…
Yeah, so I don’t think “Crisisers” is a word, but get over it.
I have had so many hits on my site for people looking for quarter life crisis, or depressed, or quarter life crisis advice. I hope you come back. I hope you email me your stories. maybe we can find some comfort and direction in hearing the stories of others, and sharing our expectations of where we had hoped to be at 25, and how that differs where we really are.
Some day, I want to write a book geared at young to mid-twentysomethings. I have talked to so many people about how hard this time of their life is for them. How is it that we didn’t expect this at all? There there is serious unhappiness in one or all areas of their lives. Were there things our parents, teachers, and mentors should have told us or taught us? Or is it because those people had a different expirence in their twenties? (my parents were married and having kids.) Or is it becuase hard times can be easily forgotten?
so, share your stories please, it is not hard to leave me a comment or drop me an email. Peace!
here’s a new one
So, someone found my site today by searching, “how old do you need to be to buy condoms out o…” it cuts off there.
Here is my advice. If you have to ask, then you are too young to be buying them.
But i don’t really think there is an age restriction…but still!
Peace!
10 Weeks Later
Since they are less gross now, I thought some of you might be interested in seeing what I did to myself 10 weeks ago tomorrow!
The first picture is of my ankle, on the inside of my right leg. there I have a screw and a pin. When my ankle broke, part of it came off and sat on my heel until surgery.
This is a picture of the outside of my right leg. There is a metal plate and 6 screws in my leg. but they didn’t have to cut through my tatoo! I broke my fibula.
My next goal is going to be trying to get a copy of my x-rays, because i think that would be very cool!
I am still trying to figure out how to put pictures in my blogs. If you have any advice how to make it easier, I would love to hear it!
Peace!
Dear Mom,
Happy Mother’s Day. Do you realize this is your 25th year of mother’s day? Well, unless you count when you were pregnant with me, then it would be 26. I know there is no way I can sum up 25 years. Thanks for being such an amazing mother.
Thanks for being such a good sport about things. You always make me laugh, if it is teaching you how to text message, or arguing about the color of my bedroom. (its GRAY) I am so thankful that in you I not only have a mom, but a best friend and an inspiration.
Thank you for being here for me during one of the toughest seasons in my life. I am hoping it is going to wrap up soon, but I appreciate your support more than I can say.
You have three children with very different personalities, and you have managed to understand us all extremely well, and spend an amazing amount of time explaining one of us to the other.
Happy Mother’s Day. I love you!
Foundation Frenzy
I hate trying to find a foundation that matches my color. I also want one that has SPF. look at my new favorite product! Great light cover that lasts all day. Almay, I love you!
