I was all over the place today.  The days and events are starting to blur into one great epic summer event.  So much went on I don’t know where to begin, so I’ll start at the end.  Right now I’m in the back of the Ridgeline listening to great rock and roll.  I wanted to go to Big Music Fest since the day I heard we were totally involved.  Well The Bull and The One are involved.  AM920 not so much!  LOL  Anyway, I had permission from my boss to attend however I thought I should grab hold...

          I don’t normally look at any forwarded e-mails unless I’m home.  I just don’t find the time.  I now have another reason not to look at them until I’m alone.  I’m not going to say who sent this one because I don’t want to put them on the spot, but I had to do some quick thinking to hide the contents from my classmates.  The worst part was that the subject line seemed harmless!!  LOL    I’ll never make that mistake again!!

          My friend Shelly and I lost a good friend today.  He lived much longer than expected for his breed, but it seems the longer a member of your family is with you the harder it is to say goodbye.  I know we did the humane thing by taking him to the vet.  I know it would be selfish of us to keep him around just for our own comfort, but still there is a part of me that will always miss having him greet me when I came to visit.  It didn’t matter where he was, it always seemed like he kn...

          Today marks the start of the Driven to Quit Challenge.  I should have blogged about this earlier but I find the less time I spend thinking about the fact I am quitting the easier it is to forget about cigarettes.  The last smoke I had was Saturday afternoon and that day it was the only one I had.  I have smoked since I was 18 and that would make it 12 years.  I’ve tried to quit before but I think I didn’t really want to.  The key is to want it for my life.  There is just no reas...

       What is wrong with people when the weather turns ugly?  I don’t think anyone knows the answer to this question, but I can tell you this, most people should not be driving in bad weather.  There are so many ways for you to get around and the roads would be much safer without you, out there!  I got cut off 4 times in a 30 minute drive.  I wouldn’t mind so much normally but when I have to slam on my breaks to avoid you and slide in snow, there’s something seriously wrong with the pi...

I was up all night tossing and turning.  I knew I had to be up for an appointment at noon, too.  Man, I just wanted to sleep.  I called in knowing I would be late for 12:00 and left a message.  When I finally arrived, my appointment was for 12:30.  Thank God!  That has never happened to me.  It feels really good to make a mistake like this.

I only have one Grandparent left in my life and sometimes I go weeks without speaking with her.  It’s not that I don’t care about her or that I don’t want to visit her.  It’s just, sometimes I find myself too focused on my own life.  I’ve heard other people say they don’t like spending time with their Grandparents because they always tell the same stories over and over again.  I totally see their point!  However I’ve come up with a solution.  I find that when I visit my Grandm...
