There are reasons we have men!!!

Well firstly, I will be the first to admit that I am a little on the FEMINIST side. I believe that woman are very well capable of doing the same things that men can!!! But sometimes there are reasons we have men around

For instance, tonight... I had a lovely girls night in the wilderness... So there we (7 girls) are for over an hour trying to set up a tent... with not stakes to anchor it (so we substituted large rocks that wouldn't stay on the tent to anchor it), and absolutely no idea as to where the poles go (red dotted ones, whited dotted ones, and yellow dotted ones), and how it's meant to hold up the tent!

So i have provided a picture for you so you may actually see, how the tent looked in the end... but let me give you description because the picture makes it look fine!! Firstly it's placed on the rockiest place. Secondly the first bar that you see, is leaning ever so nicely on the middle bar, not anchored or anything, and there is one in the back of the tent just leaning as nicely as ever also... and the the tent isn't even center on the middle bar... it's a good 5 inches to far to the right and completely bent down the side!!!

so that is why we have men... to Put up our tents... because heaven knows that girls were not meant to do it!!! but We did have any awesome fire thanks to yours truly!!!

The Art of Being Single

Well I have been in a relationship for roughly 2 YEARS... Well just recently the relationship ended. And can I just tell you what an adjustment that is. It's the small stuff that you miss the most, or are the hardest not to do. So many things have to change now...

I don't have someone to text constantly
I have to drive everywhere
No more good night calls, or good morning texts
No more plans after work every night.
No one to stay up late and discover cool shows with.
Not to mention the hugging and kissing that doesn't happen
You don't have a best friend anymore...

I mean the list goes on and on... Being single has it's perks! Like girls nights anytime, and the option to date around (although I'm not nearly ready for that) Just take a moment and think how you're life would change if you became single... It's interesting, and makes you take for granted the small stuff!

Life in the fast Lane

So many times people get caught up in the "fast lane" mode. They are constantly going going going, rushing to work, back home to do bills, back to school, then home for some homework. Not often these days do people slow down. They speed through life forgetting to look around.

This weekend I have the opportunity to spend it with my Great Aunt Delores, and my Grandmother's Husband Claire. Both of which are in their 80's and still very alive, but life moves slower for them. Today I help cook a dinner. I haven't done that in ages. I also sat down to read a frivolous book. One that wasn't required for work or school. I even took a cat nap. At first it was frustrating to slow down, to not have anything to do, but then with a different look I'm learning to love it. I can't wait for the relaxation and adventures that are to come over the next couple of days. Because life needs a refresher course and this is mine!

MOM

HAPPY MOM'S DAY

My mom is better than all of yours

My Attitude.

I know that I have an attitude. It is something that I have always had and I don't see going away anytime soon. I also believe in standing up for what I believe in; and one thing I believe in is ME. I know how to take constructive criticism, But DO NOT throw me under the bus....

Some things people should know when confronting me.

... Don't throw me under the bus...
... Do Not expect me to react in a certain way...
... Don't ever tell me that i can't do something...
... Be logical...
...Don't get emotional, Keep this professional, I am...
... Don't tell me that my moral beliefs are wrong (i.e. I believe in standing up for my staff and their rights regardless of if they made a mistake, because we all make mistakes and learn from them; so don't ask me to throw them under the bus)
... Do Not tell me to be like somebody else, because I am nobody but MYSELF...

And

... Don't try and sell me some SELF HELP program that cost thousands of dollars...

I believe that i can be pretty reasonable. I also believe that i can make a difference, and any task that I'm given can be done 150% of what is expected. I have an attitude and I like to keep it positive. If there is a problem show me. But until you can show me, don't attack me! I don't appreciate it.

Blogging

It seems that everyone these days are blogging. I love to read peoples blogs, I find them quite entertaining to see how people want the world to perceive them. So I have decided to start blogging. I am curious to see if there will be a theme in my posts... for now I have no idea why I am doing this, but it could be fun. Who knows maybe this will just turn into a rather public diary!! We'll see
