Friday!!!!

I cannot believe it is finally Friday! This week has seemed like the longest week ever. I wanted to do a "Wishful Wednesday" post, but before I knew it, it was Thursday and it no longer seemed applicable. Whatever, I'm going to do it anyway.

I wish.....

I was brave enough to live here:

I fell in love with New York the very first time I visited. The city is so full of life and excitement. I would love to wake up on the weekend in New York, take a walk down the street to get a bagel, and spend the afternoon reading in Central Park. Why is walking so much cooler when it is done in New York? I will drive my car from one store to the next down the street, yet can walk for blocks when in New York. I envy people who will relocate at the drop of a hat. I wish I was brave enough to do that.

Before I sign off for the weekend, I'm going to leave you with a couple of things I learned/was reminded of this week. Enjoy, and have a great Friday!

Life seems better after a cupcake

Good friends are hard to come by, but when found, never let go

Cancer Sucks

Cleaning is therapeutic

I AM capable of being crafty

We will be ok

Dogs in bandannas make me laugh

Patience

I often find myself frustrated with people over small things. Living in Houston, I deal with a lot of crazy drivers. It frustrates me when people don't know where they are going, when they drive 55 in the fast lane, and when they keep their blinker on for miles. I'm talking frustration to the point of tears. I really don't know why this is. It's not like my life depends on the slow driver in front of me. Last night, I was driving in the MD Anderson parking lot, and became really frustrated that the driver in front of me did not know which way to go. After a second of feeling frustrated, my heart sunk realizing what they were there for. They could have been diagnosed with cancer that morning, and were in a daze driving out of the parking lot. They could have a child, parent, or spouse staying in the hospital, and felt lost. They could have been from New York coming down for their first chemotherapy treatment . Point being, we do not know what anyone else is going through. I have decided to make it my goal to be more patient with others. I hope that the next time I'm having an "off" day, I don't have someone yelling at me from the car behind me, or calling me "stupid" for making a mistake at work. Life is too short to hate that much.

Quote of the Day

“How lucky am I to have something that makes saying good-bye so hard”

I wish......

I wish I could wear pajamas to work.

I honestly believe that I would be much more productive if I got to wear pajama pants, and t-shirts to work. I spend a lot of time during the day re-adjusting my skirt, tucking in my shirt, and making sure my top button is buttoned, as to not attract any unwanted attention. If I wore jammie pants, I wouldn't have to worry about any of this! A tshirt is not the least bit revealing! I think my overall mood would be much better. After lunch, I always feel like I want to take off my pants. I sit there, moving around in my chair for a good half hour trying to let the food settle and get comfortable. If i had jammie pants on, the elastic and cotton materials would allow this to be possible in a much timely manner. I do realize, that if we were allowed to wear pajamas to work, some participants would take it to the extreme. I can see some women showing up in fancy pants nightgowns with straps and zippers all over the place. Seriously, we all know that you don't sleep in that. Who would honestly choose straps and zippers over a pair of XXL pajama pants and an old Houston Rockets Championship tshirt (not that this is what I wear to bed.......I trade out the Championship tshirt with my dead dog Willie tshirt).

Until that day comes....I will stick with my uncomfortable too tight pants, coupled with a shirt that does not believe in being tucked.

I'm back!!!...Again!!

Thanks to much convincing and peer pressure from my new BFF, and boredom at work, I have decided to start blogging again! I must say, I have missed it. It provides me with an outlet to blab on and on about nothing, yet feel productive at the same time! Ok, so I'm not sure who all watched the bachelorette, but I am a die hard fan...Anyway, I heard a quote on the bachelorette last night and I loved it.

"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent" - Eleanor Roosevelt

I have previously allowed people into my life, and have kept them in my life even though they made me feel this way on a daily basis. I have cried over it, I have questioned myself as a person, I have fought about it, and I'm done. All along, I was putting the blame on the wrong person. I was the one who was allowing this behavior to continue. I guess I never really thought about it that way until I heard this quote last night. I guess the bachelorette is thought provoking after all!!!

Ok, I guess this was a good back to blogging start. Oh!! Justin Beiber in November!!!
