Need a chuckle?

today is probably one of the hardest days of my life ... but I will get thru this as I have with other things in my life...

My boss sent this to me and it gave me the smile I needed...

Words for Women to Live By
1. Aspire to be Barbie - the bitch has everything.
2. If the shoe fits - buy them in every color.
3. Take life with a pinch of salt... A wedge of lime, and a shot of tequila.
4. In need of a support group? - Cocktail hour with the girls!
5. Go on the 30 day diet. (I'm on it and so far I've lost 15 days).
6. When life gets you down - just put on your big girl panties and deal with it.
7. Let your greatest fear be that there is no PMS and this is just your personality.
8. I know I'm in my own little world, but it's ok. They know me here.
9 Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself.
10. Don't get your knickers in a knot; it solves nothing and makes you walk funny.
11. When life gives you lemons - buy some Coronas.
12. Forget about the perfect man - he's living in San Fran with his boyfriend.
13. Keep your chin up, only the first 40 years of parenthood are the hardest.
14. If it has tires or testicles it's gonna give you trouble.
15. By the time a women realizes her mother was right, she has a daughter who thinks she's wrong.
'Good friends are like stars... You don't always see them, but you know they are always there' 'Remember yesterday, dream about tomorrow, but live for today'. Now smile and send to any girl wasting time at work, suffering from a hangover, or just suffering from life , they might need a reason to smile!

Reflecting a bit on who I am....

Now that I'm 40 (something)... and finding myself at a new stage in my life - I'm faced with the thought of "who am I?"...

I've always been quite the individual but I seem to also be drawn in by people and their hobbies, lives, etc. and picked up bits and pieces for myself... but nothing ever is totally me ... or gets taken on by me wholly (had to spell check that word!)

What do I mean - sometimes I feel like a poser to some extent... I own a bus that I can kinda drive but not fix ... I own material that I would like to sew with but never find the time or energy, I own yarn that I end up giving to Grandma to knit, etc.

All of these are things I want to learn more about and need to learn more about if I plan on growing and learning. 2011 is going to be a year of completing things and learning new ways to do it! I've got a house that needs to be worked on as well so I'll be learning some skills there too I guess ... and gardening - oi the list goes on and on.

I guess this year my goal is to figure out me - learn about me - watch me grow (with abilities and mentally - not bigger LOL!)

Happy 2011

I'm starting another photo 365 this year ... Hoping I am more successful than last year!

Was a quiet night last night with some vino at my friend Judy's ... and some yummy leftover food ... always a foodie adventure at Judy's...

Today it's warm and mild out - raining - evening had thunder last night! Another year of no snow on New Years Day - all washed away!

Kids are all still in their jammies and doing something quiet ... me - just setting up my photo 365!

Hope you 2011 is a Happy and Healthy one... mine will be a year of focusing on my blessings and making it my best year yet!
