I have to elaborate on something that Female Barber said in her blog. People live your lives in search of your dreams. Don't miss an opportunity to do the things you want. Always strive to do your best at everything you do, and don't be afraid to take some chances. Yes, sometimes you will be disappointed and sometimes hurt, but always remember to live your lives with no regrets. Life really is very short and we don't get a second chance. Tell people how you feel and always offer a hug and a shoulder. 

Looking forward to a long weekend.  Even if I have some homework at least I'm off work. This morning my husband left on his long bike ride with his brother down into Arkansas, and my family is getting ready to head out and come stay with me. I am really looking forward to the visit because I have not seen them for months. I wish our weather wasn't going to be so hot, but I guess you can't have everything perfect.

I'm not exactly sure why every time that I plan time off from work for vacation it seems like I am working double time in order to take a couple of days. I am sure that the rest of you have experienced this same thing.  I don't understand because your work load should be the same really, right? Maybe others around you freek out that you will not be there so they ask more of you? The one thing I am sure of is that no one is going to do my work while I'm gone. So, why does it just not spread out over a couple of weeks instead it seems like it all falls into the couple of days before the vacation? I guess that must just be the price we pay for taking time off.

I love my family, but sometimes they completely drive me crazy.  I'm not saying that I would trade any of them in  for new ones. :)  This week we are preparing for our finals in this class, I have a mid-term in my Money and Banking class, and my family is coming in from Colorado for the weekend.  It wasn't too bad with it was just my Mom and her dog. It even wasn't bad with it was my Mom, her dog, and my sister. Now it's the entire family, except for my brother-in-law. I was stressed beyond belief until my sister and her family decided to stay in a hotel, and I decided to take some time off work at the end of the week to do my homework. I have been working all week as much ahead as I can so that I will be done. Hopefully, this plan will pay off and I will have a chance to relax and have some fun with them!  Have a great Holiday weekend everyone!  Enjoy your family!

I was reminded this week that things happen to us for a reason. We may not always understand or agree with the things that happen to us, but I believe they all happen for a reason. I also believe there is a master plan for all of us, and when one door closes another opens. It's important to always hold onto hope.

Is anyone into watching the season finale of Grey's? I am pumped! I normally don't watch much TV, but I watched last week and saw the previews for tonight, so I decided to record it and maybe even sit and watch it. I will be glad that several season programs will be over because it makes me feel better when I know I'm not missing anything. :)  Thank goodness for tivo!

It was a crazy day at work today. I know you have all experienced days that you just sat back, watched, and laughed. This was one of those days for me. We all have at least one person that we work with that does nothing but works hard at doing nothing, and complains about being so slammed that they are tied to their desk. It just makes me laugh because the time they spend complaining about it they could have just done the work.
