30 Days about Me:Day 8

Day 8- Something You Hate

I am really trying not to HATE anything. I dislike cooked spinach, I dislike my weight. But I can/am change/changing the weight.

I also dislike people who make everything an emergency. They forgot the deadline until it is 2 hours from now. Call me in a panic, "Can you get it done?" Most of the time, I can if . . . IF I drop everything I am doing now, and you have it to me NOW. UNLESS there are 13 others who like you forgot even after I sent you a reminder, after I called you to say it is due next week. Most of the time I will even try to help you organize if there is time before the deadline.

Is that being to nice? I am feeling lately that it is. I am wondering if they don't take what I do seriously. It does take brains, and time to sort through all the information they have. It takes paper, ink, printers, computers, printers talking to computers, computer programs, and NO virus's or other bad mojo happening to my equipment to make it possible. It takes the power not going out at a key moment when I haven't saved! It also takes a puppies with a short attention spans to STAY in OUR yard when out for a potty break!

So yes, I will help if I can. I just wish people were conscious enough of the time it takes to do the work. It takes them 3 to 4 hours just to organize, why would I be able to go through their information in 10 minutes?

Another thing I dislike - people with moods that flip from happy to depression in less than the blink of an eye and all I did was smile at them! Sorry to you for having such a crummy life that you have to scowl back when I am smiling at you. AND - just because I smile at you guys - you know who you are - I AM NOT HITTING ON YOU! Tell your wife she wants you, and go HOME!

Got off on a tangent there, sorry.

30 Days about Me:Day 6

30 Days about Me:Day 6 - Most Treasured Item - This one is easy for me - My Wedding ring. This rings story took 20 years to write. The three colored stones are children (mirrored on each side) my hubby's birthday is April, so the diamond in the middle. I have had this ring for 2 years now.

The other ring is the one Mark gave me when we got engaged. Turquoise and silver. He picked it up when he was 8.

30 Days about Me:Day 5

30 Days about Me:Day 5 - So far, I am doing pretty good I think about staying on a schedule here. Trying to decide if I should get caught up on my days, or just stay doing them in order. (By my count you should have two more than you do.) - You get them caught up! Yay me!


Day 5- Favorite Quote - I can't decide which one of these is actually my favorite. I will share them all.

30 Days about Me:Day 4

Day 4- Favorite Book - I really have been reading, but boring things like Tax code, and self help books like Being Happy. I just started Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery. Loved the show on PBS, so thought I should read the book.

Day 3- Favorite Television Show - Last year, I would have asked what shows were still out there to choose from. I was working a bit much.

I have been watching a few shows lately like:Army Wives, Drop Dead Diva, Biggest Looser, Criminal Minds, and The Mentalist. I have one that I can only find on Hulu - Being Erica - I am REALLY liking it! There are 3 seasons so far, and they were originally on Soap Net.
