Sleeping Angels

So the little munchking was being a sleepy head all day today and yesterday. I think she might be coming down with something. I don't want her getting sick.



Everyone at her school has come down with something or other... And she *just* got better from the flu. I don't want her getting sick again. She's already been sick 4 times this winter season.



Anyways. I just don't want her getting sick, yet again.



:(

Wordpress/LiveJournal Cross Posts?

So I finally got around to to fixing the cross-posting feature on my personal blog and LiveJournal.  Now I won't have to go back and forth!!! No more missed posts, or blah blah stuff like that. 



I'm so excited.  I know- I know- it doesn't take much these days to make me happy.



On to life events...



So I've been playing Guitar Hero World Tour like crazy.  My little munchkin has gotten a real kick at watching mommy strum her stuff.  Its fun, but I think she just likes the noise though, and watching mommy make a fool of herself.  But it's hilarious to watch.  I still suck though, I just don't have enough time to play like I want to.  I'll never be any good at this rate.  I so wanna play against my friends online. HA!  [loves PS3 just for that reason].



Work has been hectic as always.  My desk is back to looking like national disaster zone.  At least I am not sick, like everyone else seems to be *knocks on wood*.  It's like bio-warfare here at the office.  Everyone's desk is a biohazard zone.



In other news, I did end up getting my 'WTF?' stamp.  HA!  Lots of people got a kick on that one.  Now, every time I get some B.S. document that makes no sense to me at all... I send it back with a 'WTF?' stamp.  Everyone wants one now.  I think I started a trend.



OMG!  And what's with everyone using 'meh' these days?  That's like my word!!!! LOLS!  I use that more than I really should.  I know it's not really a word and what not, but heck, it's fun to use when there is really no comment or I just feel like whatever.  And while we're on the subject of words... you should check out this post (Friday Fun Meme) on my blog.   It's a little word play deal.  It's fun.



Personal life has been good so far.  Health wise, it was a bad year for me last year.  I had to deal with a lot of issues that had set me back not only emotionally but also physically (damn that weight!), but after finishing physical therapy (not to mention countless chiropractor visits) I got the clear from my doctor to go back to the gym.  I start next week.  So I'm excited.  The people that are in the 'know' have been very supportive and I will forever be grateful to them.  Had to quit Japanese class unfortunately because of this, but I've been keeping up with it.  I got to Japanese Meetups and the whole nine!  Its really quite funny... yes indeedy.



I've been also hanging out a lot with my friends.  In fact, we went to a karaoke bar a while back, went ice skating (which I should have NEVER done), movies, bars, Hollywood, and this Friday my gal-friends and I are hosting a tea party/wine tasting/cheese tasting party.  Yes, I know, we are corny, but heck- it's fun.  We had a movie night last time, we had to do something different this time. (Dana-chan!  Frenchanine!  I love you :D)



So all and all, things have been good so far.  I guess I should have seen this post coming.  I didn't post anything for a while and I had been itching to talk about what had been going on in my life.  So there you have it folks.  That's my story...  so far.

Nifty... thought I'd share.

Lyrics: "Bus Stop" by The Hollies

Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say,
"Please share my umbrella."
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
under my umbrella.



All that summer we enjoyed it,
wind and rain and shine.
That umbrella we employed it.
By August, she was mine.



Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop.
Sometimes she'd shop,
and she would show me what she'd bought.
All the people stared as if we were both quite insane.
Someday my name and hers are going to be the same.



That's the way the whole thing started.
Silly, but it's true.
Thinking of a sweet romance
beginning in a queue.



Came the sun the ice was melting,
no more sheltering now.
Nice to think that that umbrella
led me to a vow.

A Few Random Quotes

Here are a few radom quotes I found, they are meaningful... to me.



"Reasonable people adapt to the world. Unreasonable people persist in trying to adapt the world to themselves. Therefore, all progress depends on unreasonable people." --George Bernard Shaw



"Personally, I prefer a politician who is curious enough to have smoked pot and tried cocaine or LSD. It is a small mind indeed that's afraid to try something new or unknown."



"I don't know the secret of success, but the secret of failure is to try to please everybody." --Bill Cosby



"Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people." --Admiral Hyman G. Rickover



"Work like you don't need money, Love like you've never been hurt, and Dance like no one's watching."



The last quote is the most meaningful to me, and I'll tell you why:



On work:  I work my ass off, and have some really, bad-blah-urk, and horrible days at work, but I can honestly say that I love my job... And yes, I could't tell you how much money I make an hour (or per year... you'll have to ask my husband that question), and I really forget when payday is cuz I hardly ever pay attention, and all of this because I love my job. I  love the people that I work with and my bosses are great people.  How many poeple can truly say they love their job?  And, seriously, the corporate world can be a harsh place at times, but heck, we have fun too. 



On love: Once upon a time I was young and naive.  I trusted blindly and I was insecure and I was hurt, not once but twice by people I loved.  I was betrayed by people who I considered my friends.  For a while there I had lost myself, I had become distant and a bit cold, but somehow I found my way back again.  I found that I could still love and that those who hurt me before weren't worth the trouble or my tears.  Love found me again, old wounds healed and the guy who had hurt me the most was able to mend the broken pieces of my heart somehow.  Maybe he was trying to find himself too.  I'm still somewhat naive, I'm a dork and I act like a teen (a very mature, cute and intelligent teen), but that's just part of who I am... my charm I guess.



On dancing?:  hey!  I'm young, and even if I was 90, I would still try and have fun.  I mean come one, I've only got one life to live here, why waste it when I can make wonderful memores for myself, family and friends?  HA!  Yeah yeah, we should all play Guitar Hero World tour together, you'll really see me getting jiggy with it... I'll show you my groove.  You'll like it.
