I have always dreamed of being an author.
To be like Danielle Steel. To have a lot of cash. A big house.
And write a million books.
To go to author signings
To be popular.
I don’t know why I remembered this today, but I did.
Isn’t that scary? Not in a bad way, but in a good way.
I think I know why.
In a couple of days, after I have time to think about this, I’ll share my thoughts.
Today I dropped off 24 books at the bookstore where I get credit towards future purchases.
Like I need anymore books right?
I dropped off 9 at the EBay store. I hope they sell. I didn’t take a picture. These were 9 of my favorite books. They were part of the Elf Help series. I loved these books. A cute take from elves on self help. I wanted to keep them, but there are other books I want to keep more.
If they don’t sell……I’ll deal with that when it happens. I’ll probably keep them.
I don’t know what the total to let go of is, but I’m getting there.
And it feels great not to have these books in my office floor.
I’ll start thinking about the next batch in a couple days.
The more I let go of the harder it is to let go more.
839 days til retirement.
Not that I’m counting……
We had two people retire recently so it’s been on my mind.
More about this in another post.
My break is over.
I have to go back to work.
I shredded a couple of journals.
A couple of weeks ago I decided I would just shread my journals
I didn’t have to read through all of them.
I am done with them. I don’t have save them.
I think I have worked through the issues in the journals.
I emptied the shredder into a garbage bag.
Here’s what I have so far.
What a nice way to start 2025.
I hope your 2025 is happy, prosperous and full of love!!
In 2024 I became more of my true self.
In 2025 I would like to learn and grow and continue to be more of my true self.
Happy New Year.
Cheers to all of us becoming more of our true selves
I went to Target yesterday to see Christmas cards being replaced with Valentine’s Day cards.
WTF?
It’s not even 48 hours since Christmas.
Why are they cramming Valentine’s Day down our throats already?
Can’t we relax and enjoy the Christmas season for a little while longer?
Be thankful for family and friends. look at our gifts under the tree. Enjoy our tree and decorations.
Maybe just relax after Christmas.
No. Instead we have to rush into the next holiday.
Which is total crap and ot totally pisses me off.
Valentine’s Day needs to wait til after New Years Day to come out.
I hope you enjoyed Christmas because we are by passing New Year’s Eve and jumping right into Valentine’s Day
Life is good.
We’ve been here for 2 days and going home tomorrow.
The weather is perfect. 60s.
Just relaxing and taking it easy.
Yes that is me in the picture!
The windows need to be cleaned for sure!!
Have a great day!
My sister in law told me to stop acting helpless when we were in Vegas awhile ago.
It took me by surprise. She has never spoken to me like that before.
She’s always been good to me.
Until our trip
Here’s what happened.
We were on the people mover on front of the Venetian hotel. We were almost at the end when I noticed there was a guy trying to push a motorized scooter off the people mover that was stuck on the metal strip. All I could think of is that I was going to crash into the scooter so I turned and started walking in the other direction.
Five seconds later my husband grabbed my arm and told me to turn around. The scooter was unstuck.
When I stepped off of the people mover I stood next to my sister in law.
That’s when she said “You could have jumped over the wall. Quit acting so helpless.
I walked away.
Is panicking acting helpless?
Is this the way she sees me? Is this the way people see me?
Do I act helpless in other situations?
What the fuck was going on?
She was half tanked when she said it.
She never used to drink alot until she started hanging around with her sister in law. They drank every weekend at the trailer this summer. They want me to drink with them, but my drinking days are long gone.
The first night we were in Vegas they bought a 1.75 bottle of Malibu from Wal-Mart. An hour later they were drunk when they met us at the restuarant for dinner. I sat at the other end of the table. I didn’t want anything to do with it.
I don’t like drunk people. I don’t like drunk people who are loud and saying inappropriate stuff.
They had more alcohol with dinner.
The trip went downhill from there.
Let’s get back to me being helpless.
Yes, I could have jumped over the wall. It was only two and a half feet high, but I didn’t think about it.
All I could think about was not crashing into the scooter which was not suppose to be on the people mover to begin with in.
I totally admit that I panicked.
But she didn’t have to say that. She could have been nice about it.
She could have told me to jump over the wall.
It wasn’t a good trip and I don’t think we’ll be going back to Vegas with her anytime soon.
This idea has been floating around my head for the last week or so.
I think it is important people to have off to vote.
To spend time with their families and explain the voting process and history.
To watch the election coverage and be a part of what is going on.
To have time to vote.
I took off today because I think this day is very important and I like seeing the results come in. It’s very interesting.
What are your thoughts?
