stuff the ticks me off...

Well today was a banner day!! I found out that my dental office is cutting me 1 day a week.. for how long?? no one knows.. WHATEVER!!! HELLO.. you might have wanted to TELL me this.. not me finding out because I was looking ahead at my schedule!! Dentists!!!
Then other stuff that just pisses me off... I had to buy Hannah new pointe shoes.. not that this is bad.. but you know what? when you buy these things... those pretty ribbons that they tie them on with?? well.. you have to sew them on yourself... yup... you read that right... you pay any where from $50-80 a pair and THEN you have to sew on the ribbons!! WTF?? I mean.. come on.. you are told how to sew them on.. everyone sews them the same way.. so why do I get to sew them on??? and then... get this.. Hannah will take these beautiful shoes and break the shank in the sole.. yup.. crack city.. AND.. if I am lucky.. they will last her for a year... IF I am lucky....
And then there is Facebook.. and how Mafia Wars keeps freezing up on me.. and how slow it runs..
Then there is Kohls store.. don't even go there with me.. Just don't even want to go there... let's just say... I HATE the store and the employees... yup.. that is the best... (my blood pressure may be coming down at some point)
AND.. we are lucky enough to be on vacation next week.. we aren't doing anything special.. hanging around here.. which is fine with me.. I actually like that.. but still..
Sorry.. I needed to vent...

Charles Schultz Philosophy...

So Dawn sent me an email.. I just wanted to share with you.. It made me think, and I really liked what I had to think about for this!

Charles Schultz Philosophy

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the

"Peanuts" comic strip.

You don't have to actually answer the questions.

Just read straight through, and you'll get the point.

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.

2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.

3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America Contest.

4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.

5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.

6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.

How did you do?

The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are no

second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause

dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten.

Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.

Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.

2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.

3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.

4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.

5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

Easier?

The lesson:

The people who make a difference in your life are not the

ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are

the ones that care.

"Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow

in Australia."

(Charles Schultz)
