Exhausted

6:40 p.m. and I am back at home. Spoke to owner of my company today. Sounds like the last 2 days weren't good. He wants to talk to me about how some of my staff is either going to have to get with the program or get with someone elses program. Oh boy, looks like I am going to get practice sooner rather than later with what I just learned.

Anyone need a new job out there? I am going to be hiring again.

Back At It

Back to my conference I go. I am so stressed even though I had a pretty good nights sleep. Waking up only a few times, which I really dislike but my bladder is thankful for...anyway, I am looking forward to seeing what I learn today. It is so so so interesting and I know this is going to become useful in my life.

Real Time Coaching

Went to my class all day today. My head started to hurt in the middle of the day. Thank goodness to the receiptionist outside who gave me ibprofen and tylenol. I don't know if the headache was from all the information or if I was stressed about work. I had so many calls come in and employees were freaking out. It is so sad. I can't leave for a day without total clapse and craziness. I have trained them and have given support to them and yet it seems, they still rely on me. I have to get out of this role and do things differently.

New Cards

Here are my latest cards. I really wish you could see the lighthouse card because the camera just does not do it justice. (the colors are all messed up..the purple looking dots are actually brown) I did it tonight when I got home from work and before we went out to eat. I think I found what I need to do...I have to buy matching papers. It seems my creativity blooms when I have several papers, which match each other.

Speaking of wishes...Tonight we went to Cancun and mommy and I gave little one some coins to throw into the fountain. Each time, I would say, "Make a wish." First wish, "I wish Bonnie was real." (Bonnie the stuffed rabbit) Second wish, "I wish Aunite was a stuffed animal." Third wish, "I wish I had ten bunk beds." Cute.

3 Cheers for Us

It is off to Archiver's we go!! Just as soon as the calendar comes up we can plan for our southside adventure...(Don't worry Judy, I will make sure we don't schedule it on a day which you will be out on spring break.)

I am excited!

Duh Moment

I can't believe it. I spent almost an hour getting an ad ready to sell on eBay. I finally get everything checked, double checked and submitted my first item. I felt pretty confident. (I may only make a dollar if the item sells but this is a learning experience.) Only when I decided to go look for my item did I see that I spelled the word wrong. Would you buy a pair of sandals from someone who spelled it like sandle?

UPDATE: Okay, I went in and changed the title. I just couldn't in my right mind leave it as is. I am uptight about things like that. So, I believe it might have cost me another 35 cents to correct it, which means I may make 65 cents if the item sells at reserve. LOTS OF LAUGHS!

Couple things I have done

I am very disappointed in how the pictures turned out but I don't want to mess with taking them again.

I made some St Patty's day surprises for my staff at work. I actually made the box the wrong direction so they are skinny instead of fat but, hey, it works...Also, after spending an afternoon finishing the project I realized that I am not even going to be at work on St Patty's day because I have a conference. Oh well...I am sure everyone will enjoy the chocolate in the boxes no matter what day it is.

The picture of the birthday card is one, which I made in the middle of the night last night when I couldn't sleep. YAWN....One of my employees is having a birthday this month and she loves pinks, browns and the retro colors. This girl is really unique in today's early twenty something world. She reminds me being the love child of 2 hippies. She shops from Goodwill for both home and clothing because she wants to, not because she has to. I love that.

Fraking Tired

I was up all night long. It could have been the storm, which raged on like an angry bee, it could have been because my mind wouldn't shut off...No, it was because I drank a glass of tea with my dinner. Now, my stomach is upset and I have a headache...**cry**

Loosen your grip and take a trip

I am going to be putting together a get away. Some place relaxing and enjoyable some place like.............................Greenwood, Indiana. Ah, I can see the place in sight right now... Bright lights, colored paper, ink, chalks, embellishments, magazines, stickers, the newest items money can buy. Yes, yes, can you feel it too? A place called Archiver's.

Looking for 2 (preferably) friends to join sister-in-law and myself for an afternoon of shopping and lunch on a Saturday. Might be after the 15th in April if my renter ever decides to pay me. Hopefully the trip can be scheduled before May. I will look at their calendar for April when they put it up to see what they have going on and then perhaps we can make way and escape for a few hours from our humble homes.

(Side note, I might stop and see parental units **I promise they will not be wearing their clown outfits** for a short visit as well...Or perhaps they could do lunch with us too...How about Steak 'N Ale?? YUMMY!)

Any takers? (Click on title for link to store.)

Close To My Fart

Okay, it is really supposed to say, "Close to my heart" but I wanted to get your attention. Now that you are really grossed out...

Does anyone know if Lori Day is still a consultant?

Fraubyers is having a party, but hasn't heard from her and I haven't heard anything from her. My friends want to party all the time party all the time party all the time....

New Phone

I am thinking about going and getting a new cell phone...one which will take pictures. It is such a difficult decision for me because the phone I will get I must use for 2 WHOLE YEARS! How will I know what I want in a phone next month, let alone next year?! I know, it is a phone, what would you want in a phone except to talk to another person...I want it all. I love technology!

I am going to go have lunch with a friend today. We are going to UNO's and then to Border's for book shopping. I am SO LOOKING forward to it! WHOOT!

Party at Christine's House

We must come up with a plan! Surely, we can find a way to get her OUT of the basement so pictures can be taken! What if when I come in I tell her someone strange looking was outside...(that wouldn't be a lie, it would be me before I came in..) and perhaps she will go upstairs to check it out. You must be quick with taking the pictures and then share them with me. It could work. What else could we do?

Computers are back up!

It is time to celebrate! Our computers at work finally came back up...almost 2 weeks later!!!! Hurray! I rang the bell so loud I bet the people on the 3rd floor above us heard it! Now it should only take me about 60-90 days to dig my way back out from all my work. I started a tunnel to get out today.

Okay, I sent my list to my mentor...now he wants me to put my descriptors in sentence form. I am sure what is coming next is I am going to have to journal the sentences using them as positive affirmations. I just can't wait.

Judy - My mentor is my work coach. I talk to him one time a week about work issues. He really helps me. I only have small breakdowns now instead of full blown ones daily...(HA HA) He is a work therapist...and my company agreed to pay him thousands of dollars for me to talk to him. I am so spoiled like that...(Smiles!) Are you going to Christine's on Thursday?

Met with mentor

I was in such a funk. He asked if I wanted to leave. "No, I want to work it out." I said.

I now have to write my ideal thoughts on what I think being a friend is, a daughter is, a sister is, etc...

I can't skip doing this because I have to EMAIL him with the results. Then my next homework assignment comes after I do this.

UGH! I know it is for a reason to grow and learn but this is going to be painful for me to do.

Wish me luck. Send me white light. Send me prayers or anything you feel good about.

100%

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint it goes like this:

What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:

If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then:

H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

and

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But,

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

And,

B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND, look how far ass kissing will take you.

A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it's the BullshiT and Ass kissing that will put you over the top.

I need to know these answers!

Steph,

Which card are you speaking of?


Judy,

What were you going to buy?


Inquiring mind wants to know! Don't leave me hanging!

Templates I am going to USE!

http://www.bydonovan.com/templates.html

These could work!! You can print them off, paste them to a piece of cardboard and off you go! There are so many to choose from. I am in heaven and they are FREE! You can't beat that!

Good luck! I can't wait to see what you create!

Answer #1 for Judy

Here is one link to purchase domino's on line but I bought mine from Walmart in the toy section.

I am off to search for the question to your next question!

I'll be back...

To Much Work

I think I am working to much. First I must say, I am NOT a drinker. I don't drink much alcohol at all...Not even once a year. But I have been working myself like a dog. Last night when I went to bed, I fell right to sleep. I woke up twice during the night and found each time I woke up that I was dreaming about drinking. Drinking...Why drinking? Should I start drinking? Is this what the dream is telling me?
