Sometimes, These things Happen

Sometimes, there are things that just happen. 

Like accidentally getting your shirt stuck in the seat belt buckle in your car on your drive to work. 

Yes. One of those things happened to me this morning. After some slight panic it was really quite amusing. Shall I explain?

I'm one of those people that doesn't buckle their seat belt until after I've backed out of the driveway and turned whichever I'm going. Not the best I know. Especially since it causes you to do it one handed. Well, my shirt was a little longer than normal this morning and apparently was right over the buckle as I pushed in my seat belt, which would not go in. It took me a few minutes to actually realize that I was quite literally stuck. The first thought was "Seriously? I don't have time to go home!!" Then "And I really like this shirt!" After about 5 minutes of tugging with no success I called Anne. Who laughed when I told her why she might have to go get scissors. But after hanging up with her I gave one more yank and my shirt came free 5 minutes away from work. I was able to finally buckle my seat belt and make my car stop beeping at me. 

So my morning was a little rough but in the end was a funny story to tell at work. All in all I'm very glad that I have a day off this week! 

Just wondering...

I'm just wondering...but when did my christian life and walk with God become about how it makes you look?? 

I have never been so ashamed of "christians" as I am today. 

A 2 left shoe day

That's what my Monday was. (I know I'm posting this on Tuesday.) I decided to wear slippers (that's local Hawaiian for flip flops) to work since it was pouring rain. I brought my work shoes in a seperate bag. Well I thought I did. I got to work and discovered I had two different color brown shoes. At first I was like hey that's not so bad, I'll be ghetto, no big deal. Until I saw that they were both left shoes.

Yep, a two left shoe day. Thankfully my amazing co-worker keeps a spare set of shoes at work that I was able to wear. 

Hope you don't ever have a 2 left shoe day! 

P.S. these aren't my shoes, I was too annoyed at the time to photograph my humiliation! 

Just a Side Note

There is a pigs head on our dining room table. (Actually it's a boars head) But it's still a head sitting on the table and it startles me every time I walk into the room. I have no clue why it was put there or why it is still there. 

That is all. 

Curse the cold and other things

I have a summer cold and I strongly dislike it. And when I say strongly I mean I am cursing the cold. (I want to yell it like "curse you Perry the Platypus but it just doesn't have the same ring to it)  Along with cursing the cold it has also made me extremely irritable today. If you would like confirmation I can give you a list of coworkers who heard, felt, and witnessed my irritation today. Speaking of irritation I don't know what was with people this week. I dealt with a TON of attitude this week that I did not appreciate on top of this cursed cold. (Now that sounds good. Cursed cold. It flows.)   

Now for the other things.

I worked on some fun projects last night. I will tell you about them when I get decent pictures. They didn't turn out exactly as I imagined but I like 'em.

I want to change up my blog. Make it exciting, easy to use, nice, and just change it up. I added a new background if you didn't notice. But the other stuff is a little more difficult to figure out.

I've decided I need to get out of my comfort zone. Not sure how I will do that yet but....it's in the works. I'm very much stuck in my rut and realized it isn't good. Are you stuck in your routine and normal stuff? Ever tried to change it up? What did you do? I'm open to suggestions. (That aren't outlandish or freak me out) 

My last other thing is an announcement. I'm working on a top secret project! Very very top secret. You can't know anything about it until the appropriate time. Which cannot be explained because of what it could give away. All I can say it is brilliant and those that know about it LOVE it! (Don't let the anticipation kill you please! 

That is a wrap up of my other things. Now back to nursing my cursed cold...

The Storybook Life

Do you have a favorite book, story, or fairytale? One that you will read over and over again then daydream about wishing your life was like that? Or are you someone that loves reading fiction (like me)  and think about how fun it would be if your life was like that story. 

I read for the escape it offers. The more I have going on in my life, the more stress I feel, or the more upset I am the more I read. It lets me escape to different worlds, experience different things, and in a sense "live" someone elses life.

I had a conversation with my work buddy today that made me think about that though. I like to say "how nice it would be or how I want that storybook situation/life." Yes, I think we all want that in our lives but it rarely if ever happens. But I wonder if I focus so much on wanting my storybook life that I forget that there is a reality much different. Or I forget to allow for reality. (Does that make sense to you?)  I or we get an idea in our mind and nothing is okay until it all fits into place. I think sometimes women do this even more because of our romantic sides and dream of being the "princess".  

I need to remember that I'm most likely not going to get my perfect storybook life. While I'm not going to settle for anything less that fantastic I need to make sure I don't forget about the reality around me. I'm not sure if all of this made sense but I have a lot on my mind and sometimes the thoughts within don't flow very well into words for me. 

L. O. V. E.

Love, l.o.v.e. I really feel loved right now. I have so many people close to me that love me a lot and unconditionally. They care and will give opinions but they respect me and support me with whatever I do. It means a lot and has really touched me. I've obviously known I was loved before but certain things have really pointed it out to me recently. I had two people tell me they were glad I hadn't made a specific decision (it would have been beyond stupid if I had) but also tell me they would have understood if I had. First, I felt so stinkin' proud of myself for not making a stupid decision. Secondly, I felt so loved and blessed that I was so completely loved. For awhile I forgot about how much I was loved but I remember now and don't plan on forgetting again.

I am blessed and loved completely for who I am. It's a beautiful, wonderful, and marvelous feeling. Why don't you try sharing it around yourself?
