When my life is run by Law & Order marathons, I know that I hit the lame factor way high.

Apparently very lame people.  Because for the past week or so, I have NOTHING… nothing to blog about. Apparently, my life has decided to take a break from the crazy …

The only think I can come up with, because I keep thinking about them…is that  I need to really take care of the messiest areas in my house right now are:

The office/Laundry room/Art Room:  It’s the only downstairs room that did not get a complete “remodeled” and I just cannot bring myself to finish the room.  My desk? I try. As God is my witness, I try. But I stack. And I fling. And I fail.

My Bedroom: Still has 3 unpacked boxes, that belong in the office downstairs, so see above.  And add that I’m just a lazy bitch right now, and the thought of taking them downstairs – WAYYY to much effort. Plus, its still in the “raw” stages (Meaning no remolded efforts are in the horizon, at least not until the Florida lotto decides to pick my NUMBER and SHOW me the MONEY) which gives me ZERO incentive to get it organized in the first place.

I have a long weekend coming up and I think I need to psych myself up and really tackled them – at least the desk!

Of course this will go down only if the TV gods don’t screw me and hit me with a Law & Order: CI marathon.

Then all bets are off.

Things I learned in order to keep my shit together

Some are mine and some are from others, but mostly all of them are true….

• Age is absolutely the worst predictor of someone’s maturity, intelligence, or general ability to operate with any sort of common sense.
• When you’re happy, people want you to be unhappy. When you’re unhappy, people want to cheer you up (but are probably secretly happy they are happier than you). The only way to actually be happy is to stop using anything external to determine your well-being.
• I need to stop fighting with my sister, it’s never-ending, exhausting and I just need to learn to quit her and stop try to so hard. Which brings me to…
• I’ve learned that no matter how much I care, some people are just assholes.
• Whatever you believe you are, you are.
• Whatever you think you deserve, you’ll get.
• If you learn something necessary. If you grow in the process. If you go on to make something better, more efficient, or useful. Then, you did not fail.
• You can’t have anything unless you let go of it, and there is NO WAY of getting all you want.
• I’ve learned that you shouldn’t compare yourself to others – they are more screwed up that you think.
• The quicker all the “shoulds” get out of your head, the better off you’ll be. The reason most people are unhappy? Terrible expectation management.
• If humor is not the number one thing you look for in the opposite sex, then reevaluate. The only thing that will keep a relationship together (and healthy) is being able to laugh at yourself and each other. It’s not always going to be rainbows, sex romps, and unicorns.
• Loving yourself is, hands down, the only way to universal compassion. When you love yourself, you can’t help but be loving towards others.
• I’ve learned that you can keep vomiting long after you think you’re finished.
• Chocolate cake (our cupcakes) fixes everything.
• A good cry once in a while is necessary to keep one’s shit together.
• Bad things do happen to good people.
• People deserve a second chance, but not a third.
• It’s the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary.

Great Moments

I read this quote today from Kent Nerburn… It hit me in a spot and made me think…

“We’re conditioned to think that our lives revolve around great moments. But great moments often catch us unaware – beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one”

What emotions comes to you when you read these words?
