I am sitting at my desk reading blogs because I'm not doing any work today.
And when I say not doing ANY work, I really mean not.doing.any.work.
Yeah, I signed off payroll approval today and I responded to two emails, but that's it.
I could really so NOT be here today. The only reason I am here is because I didn't have anything else to do.
Normally, I am on a mission to take over the world. I am usually dreaming up ways to jumpstart my motivational speaking career, bring in more resume clients, upholding my personal standards of excellence in all areas, planning to work out, and figuring out ways to double my income by my self-imposed May 20, 2009 deadline.
Today, eh...not so much.
Today, I'm just concentrating on holding up my chair and breathing.
"The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself." we all know i gave up on perfect LONG ago...

Month Lost
ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm....What in da hell happened to the first month of the year?
Dammit - My year is already 1/12 of the way over and it really feels like it slid away into a mesh of nothingness.
Well, actually, that's not quite true.
1. I found FACEBOOK. I'm addicted. Enough said.
2. I took a leadership class at one of those Rockhurst University seminars. Those classes rock!!! For about two weeks, I was super motivated. Then, life took over again.
3. I met a really cool guy at the seminar. Two weeks later, I find out he snores like a buzzsaw. Needless to say, that shut down all dreams of having babies that looked like the best of the two of us. (I'm sure he's wondering why I don't call him anymore.)
4. I found my cousin that I hadn't talked to in almost 20 years on FaceBook. She came to visit that very weekend. I was going to feed her bacon and eggs, but the bacon that I had was a month old and the fry daddy grease that I dropped it in was even older. Needless to say, that was a no go. I ended up calling I.HOP for carryout.
5. Met David at I.HOP. He's a doctor. We're a couple already. Met him on the 17th. That was three weeks ago.
6. Work has been really crazy. For the first time in a LONG, LONG time, there is just a bit of trepidation about not getting it all done, not meeting all of the deadlines, not working to my usual standard of excellence, of falling flat on my fcuking face. (Not a good feeling.)
7. I worked out like a champion for the first five weeks of the year. This past week, I have done nothing.
8. My money is really funny right now. I've decided to join Frugalista's No Buy Month after tomorrow. (I have to buy some lotion and my slippers are about to fall apart.)
9. I bought groceries today for the first time in almost a month. The last couple of days I had to get really creative with my meals.
10. Writing my brother, who is in prison, is something that I do out of obligation and because I believe that he needs someone to support him. Getting his letters back is depressing as fuck. I almost want to write him and tell him that he does not have to write AT ALL.
That's the quick and dirty run down on the first 1/12th of my year.
You'll see me around more often. I promise.
