Meeting Notes

I just had to share this before I went to bed this very early morning:  I had a meeting at work the other day.  I had taken real notes.....Before this meeting our department had a super huge lunch and everyone was stuffed....without further ado...Here is a portion of my notes....

WOW! I NEED TO KEEP WRITING SO THAT I WILL STAY AWAKE.  WHERE IS THE CAFFEINE! I NEED SOMETHING.  I'M GONNA' PASS OUT.  WHEW! EVERY TIME I BLINK MY EYES THEY STICK! WONDER IF MY HEAD BANGS THE TABLE.  THAT WOULD HURT. GEE WHIZ! DR PEPPER, COKE, PEPSI AT THIS POINT I'LL SETTLE FOR A MOUNTAIN DEW.  MAYBE CHERRY COKE/COLA GENERIC - RED HOTS, LEMON DROPS, GUM...MY FAVORITE!

Yes, I really wrote this down!  I believed that if I just kept writing, no matter what I wrote, I would not fall asleep.  I did blink once and I think I did doze off for a half second. I really wondered if I would conk my head on the table I was sitting at.  I don't know if my head bopped or not but it felt like it.  As far as Mountain Dew goes, if I say I would drink it that means I was really desperate.  I haven't drank that since I was a kid and drank myself sick.

Good Morning!

Okay, it is 1:47 a.m. and I'm so tired I can barely keep my eyes open.  I wanted to come home, I was out visiting with friends, and finish downloading some stuff onto my iTunes.....Of course, I can't sit still and wait so I had to get on my Etsy website to see if I had anyone convo me or even better, actually buy something....Then after Etsy, Oh, I forgot........Before Etsy I entered the Dream Home Sweepstakes.....then after Etsy, I logged into my e-mail, saw e-mails from Facebook posts and had to get on there for a minute....Now I'm just waiting for my downloads to finish and then I'm in bed......

Today has been a long..........DAY!

So tired but can't quit typing!

I'm up and playing on the computer.  What I'm supposed to be doing is editing my pictures so that I can put them on Etsy.  I was actually hoping to be done with this earlier and have at least 5 to 10 different items listed on Etsy before I went to bed.

But......I had to pick up Michael down the street so I had to wait for the kid down the street to finish shoveling out my driveway.....Yes, I could do it myself, but I'm not supposed to because of my bad shoulder.....anyway, he was a cute kid that was looking to make an extra couple of bucks and he did a really good job on the driveway.  Then I pick him up and I'm trying to get back home to get back on the computer to finish fixing the pictures and then the phone rings.  So while I'm chit chatting on the phone, I decided to play Zuma....Because you know, I can't do just one thing!  I have to always be entertaining myself!

Then I checked my e-mail.  Saw a couple of mails from a friend.  So I had to e-mail her back then we were chit chatting with each other via e-mail.  Then I finally had to go with her and then I saw some updates from Facebook, so I had to log onto that.  Then I was visiting a friend's wall and saw she had FamilyLink so that tripped my trigger so then I had to log onto that...............WHEW!   and now I'm back doing my pictures because as soon as I finish editing them I'm taking my CAKES to bed!

Oh and did I mention that it took me 1/2 of the daylight hours to take the pictures of the almost 40 craft items.......This is hard work!

Okay, I'm done talking...........at least for the moment.  Can you tell I've had too much caffeine today!

Good Night!

Tomorrow

Just checking out my blog.  I need to take some pictures tomorrow and get some stuff posted on ETSY.  Vacation is OVER!  Also, I realized, I don't have that many pictures of my Mom.  Probably need to take a couple more of her.  

Playing on Facebook!  I love catching up with friends, it is so much nicer than being on the phone all day everyday or trying to write snail mail.  Even though I'll be the first one to say I really don't mind it all that much and I really enjoy getting it when it's not bills or unsolicited mail.

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, To aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on. Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.. Believe it. It is real. But only for a season. LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant. Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.

 

January 1, 2010

I woke up early today.  I heard a lot of clanging going on in the kitchen.  I believe Brandy, my dog, whined before I heard all the noise but I was trying to ignore her so that I could sleep in a little bit.  Funny, no one let the dog out or cooked me breakfast................whine......

I should have went back to bed, but I didn't.  I went into the living room, snuggled up on the loveseat, while my Mom and her boyfriend, Michael, watched the classic Looney Tunes.  I guess there was a marathon on today.  After they watched two cartoons, Mom went back to bed because she still isn't feeling well and about 10 minutes after that Michael also went to lay back down.  I stayed in the living room with Brandy and pulled out some of my Organizing books.  Yes, I decided I'm going to bring the New Year in right!  (lol)

I read and I watched some HGTV.  I started to get a little bored with it after Candice Olson went off.  She's my favorite designer.  I have not disliked one makeover she has done.  If I had the money to buy the house of my dreams I would hire her to do all the decorating!  After she went off, I kind of ignored the TV for awhile and did some reading.  I tried to watch this show on NatGeo about how the earth was formed, but it got boring so I did some channel surfing.  I found Criminal Minds, which I assume was another marathon and watched it for a couple of shows before I gave up and came into my craft room to get on the computer.  And here I've been off and on all day.

I watched most of the Rose Parade.  I did miss the Marching Band for the Blind School that is located here in Columbus.  I really wanted to see them as this is the first big parade that they have been invited to, or so my sources say.  I did get to see the Ohio State Marching Band, The Ohio U Marching Band and the Pickerington HS Marching Band - Congrats to all, you were fabulous! 

Since then, I've watched more HGTV, The Buckeyes win the Rose Bowl! Can I get an Amen! and read some more.  I'm watching The Outside Room with Jamie Durie right now.  He is a cutie pie!  And I love men with Aussie Accents.  Whew Hew!

I'm out...........I think I'm going to bed soon.  Too tired to even try and stay up.  Maybe I'll get up early tomorrow and do something more productive.  Right now, I'm just enjoying not being at work and it being a very laid back day.

Good Night!  Happy New Year!
