Senioritis equivalent. Jul 8, 2010
imageI have been working my ass off. I am sitting here right now attempting to remain focused on writing a report for work. It's 10 pm here and I have only 8 days left until vacation. You know how when you are a senior in university or college you get senioritis. Is there an equivalent for vacations from work?

Vacationitis?

Any better ideas about what to call it?

Also how do you motivate yourself I could use some help. Thanks <3

Random Acts of Kindness Jun 29, 2010
imageToday I was at the local convienence store buying a milkshake... (cookies and cream it was sooooo good) anyways, I digress.. I was standing in line and a woman came up to me and asked if I minded if she set her coffee down while waiting in line to pay. I told her she could just go ahead as I had to use my bank card and she had cash and was only getting the coffee. She was surprised and asked if I was sure. Ofcourse I answered and she moved up to the counter a little surprised. She then noticed she was 25 cents short for the coffee and asked if I had a quarter. I said I would check when I got to the counter since I had no hands to open my wallet at the time. The person at the till moved and I stepped up and told the cashier that I would pay for the woman's coffee. She was SHOCKED and insisted that I didn't need to do that. I told her I know I dont need to I want to. I told her to save her money (all change, it was obvious she didn't have much to begin with) for a coffee another day. She did not even know what to say. She shook my hand and told me she would NEVER forget this. Why do we live in a society that it is so shocking that a total stranger would be willing to do something that like for you. Think about it. It such a small thing and impacted that woman so much. I'm not sure anyone had ever been that nice to her. In the town I live there is a big population of less fortunate families and adults with developmental delays. Often people get frustrated when those people get in there way, pay in all pennies, ask for a quarter or simply try to strike up a conversation. You should never take your blessings for granted because you don't know how that person got to be who they are today, maybe a year ago they made more money than you. If you are reading this consider doing a random act of kindness for someone today. Don't accept anything in return. Just wish the person a nice day and carry on.

TWILIGHT Jun 28, 2010
imageAm I the ONLY person in the WORLD who does not give a CRAP about TWILIGHT? There has to be someone else out there that thinks TWILIGHT is the stupidest movie/book/phenomenon (if you can call it that) EVER!!!

Weddings Jun 27, 2010
I went to a wedding last night for friends of my husbands who I had never met, as they moved about 3 or 4 hours away and lost contact over the years. I was a very nice wedding, you know typical vows, bridesmaids in aqua yellow accents. But we get to our seating arrangements and my husband and I are at a table with 7 older people, like a grandparents age. Again fine, just to eat and they were friendly enough, except for this old guy John. He kept INSISTING that I drink more wine more wine, even when I declined and explained politely that I am being the designated driver. He continued to pressure me to drink more while he stared at my clevage throughout the night. My husband thought it was funny and come to think of it so do I. If I brightened that old man's day how harmful could it be. The night progressed well and the groomsmen peeled off layers of clothing (jacket, vest, tie) busting a move on the dance floor. I am honoured to have been asked to share their special day and am looking forward to getting to know them better. Thank you and best wishes Tyler and Lindsay.
