no file number, no water...No Deal!!

This week at work was pretty much crappy. In the morning everything was okay. Then for some reason, in the afternoon, all heck would break loose. There was always some cr*p going on... Like today, the airconditioner brokedown & there wasn't any water, only hot air was blowing through the vents. It had to have been well over 120 degrees on the 3rd floor. For 3 hours, there wasn't any running water in the building, which meant no sinks or toilets.

Take A Free Ride On the Reading Railroad!

Ever feel like life is a game? Sometimes it's funny, then sometimes it's cruel. When I was younger I used to love playing games. Board games like Monopoly, LIFE, backgammon or chess, then Nintendo! I thrived on that stuff, I was addicted!

Lately, my life has been playing out like a game, very surreal but not fun. I feel like every move I make, I get trumped! I'm not referring to any particular aspect of my life, but my life in general.

I live to play and I play to live!!!

Lately, I haven't felt like playing...that sucks...

Ry's poem!

The following is a poem my daughter (9 yrs old) wrote about her sister.

Courtney

I look

up at the

star struck sky.

I wonder

which

one you're on.

The brightest star

by the Big Dipper

or the smallest star

by the moon.

Watch me,

play games.

Somethings you

can't do forever.

But you can

always be my

sister.

And see me

in my dreams.

You smile.

You matter.

I miss you.

She's Back!

The 'puter is fixed and she's back. I know it, I just know it!! Thank you to the Big Guy!

I am so happy that you are back. I missed you..

Love you....

Now I Know 25 Is Not Ancient

When I was 16 years old, I thought 25 was ancient. I thought I would be dead by the time I was 25. When my 25th birthday came around, I hid and stayed home in bed, it was my scariest birthday.

I was so surprised to live passed that day, that now every year I relish my birthday. I actually start talking about my birthday at least 30 days prior. In any random conversation, I will announce there are only so many days until my birthday. I'm not selfish or stuck up, I just think that everyone deserves to have their day & my day is April 17th! And I don't want to share my day, with anyone! (The president of the company I work for has the same birthday, but I don't care, I'm not budging!)

Now I am way over 25 years old but I don't feel ancient. Yes, there are some aches & pains, but even though that is my reality, mentally I think of myself as young. I guess the older I get, the younger every else becomes...
