Friends, Family, and Pets #5

Haha ... well one thing off my list! I would feel like I was cheating, except that I'm so relieved. For a couple months Bandit had a "mole" on his chest. I was depressed and sure he had cancer and just didn't want to know the truth....
LOL ... that "mole" is gone and must have just been a pimple! WHEW! I may not have done anything to get it off my list, but I sure am glad it's gone!

Good News! // New Item to List!

First of all ... the joyous news!! Honda called and gave my life a sunny new outlook. My $4000 transmission job had jumped up to $5800 because it turns out the seatbelt censor was cracked and the seatbelts weren't locking and all this caused 2 motor mounts to break (read: driving death machine -- remember, the transmission was falling into reverse while I was going 50mph. This goes well with no airbags or seatbelts and a engine about to fall out of the car). Anywho, the GOOD NEWS is this it ALL ... as in every stinkin' penny, covered under warrenty. As in it will be **FREE** Honda could teach Toyota a thing or two! We'll leave my Toyota sucks rant for another day.

I LOVE HONDA!

And I just thought of something else for the list. Having almost broken my elbow last night during a PMS rant ... I will start trying natural/herbal/organic remedies to ease PMS. Chris will like this one. I think I'll put it under the Friends and Family catagory, LOL.

New item to the list: "Get over CHAOS (Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome). Hehe I got this from flylady.org - I LOVE this site, you must check it out!

Downstairs was almost finished, then I had a party (which was great), so I had to start over. Now I'm back to almost having downstairs finished and I can start on the rest of the house!

Emberassing Moment

I was preparing for me week of getting up on time ... but then I stayed up until after midnight. However, I WAS going to be to work on time again today until disaster struck.

Right as I'm getting off the elevator at work -- my caboodle breaks and everything inside went flying everywhere! And of course in a super high traffic area. Yah, and I thought nothing could be more emberassing than taking a pink caboodle to work. WRONG.

A Woman Should Have

"A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...
enough money within her control to move out and rent a place of her own, even if she never wants to or needs to...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...
something perfect to wear if the employer, or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .
a youth she's content to leave behind....

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ..
a past juicy enough that she's looking forward to retelling it in her old age....

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...
a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ..
one friend who always makes her laugh.. and one who lets her cry...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...
a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ..
eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems, and a recipe for a meal, that will make her guests feel honored...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ..
a feeling of control over her destiny..

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
how to fall in love without losing herself..

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
how to quit a job, break up with a lover, and confront a friend without; ruining the friendship...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
when to try harder... and WHEN TO WALK AWAY...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
that she can't change the length of her calves, the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents..

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
that her childhood may not have been perfect...but it's over...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
what she would and wouldn't do for love or more...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW.... how to live alone... even if she doesn't like it...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW.. .
whom she can trust, whom she can't, and why she shouldn't take it personally...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
where to go... be it to her best friend's kitchen table.. or a charming Inn in the woods.... when her soul needs soothing...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW..
What she can and can't accomplish in a day... a month...and a year...

The YooHoo Sisters"

My wonderful friend Lacie sent this too me this morning. I literally got goosebumps reading it. While I am proud to say that many, if not most, of the things in this poem are true, it has inspired me to work on some others. Maybe inspire something to add to my list??
