Words of Inspiration: Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others, cannot keep it from themselves ~ James Matthew Barrie

I love this quote.....this is is a perfect example of how I am living my life. To illuminate positive emotions and vibes to others, will equally shine in my own life......

Another quote that I find solace in is:

"When life's problems seem overwhelming, look around and see what other people are coping with. You may consider yourself fortunate." - Ann Landers

It's so easy to fall into the depressed and bleak time we are living in......sometimes I have looked around thinking, "Man, I don't have this yet or I should have gotten that or my daughter doesn't have...this bill is overdue, I don't have the money for that......yada, yada, yada....

But, I am very humble to realize that I am doing ALRIGHT!!! There are SO many people that have it much worse than I. It's too easy to slip into what I call, the "I" syndrome......this quote by Ann Landers puts things in perspective and keeps my mind grounded.

Relief is on the way!

After consulting with my OB GYN, we both decided that the Endromentrial Abalation procedure would be perfect for me. There are 3 different process for this procedure and the one I'm doing is the Novasure process!

She scheduled me for the procedure on Friday, April 24th. Its just day surgery and the whole procedure will last an hour or so.  The prospect of having NO MORE PAIN OR HEAVY BLEEDING is so overwhelming.  I have lived with abnormal period most of my teenage life and after I had my daughter! To not have worry or have anixety about my periods each month will be wonderful!

This condition has dominated my life for so long and it was becoming disabiliting. No life for 3 to 4 days!  This procedure will give my life back!

Act like a Woman, Think like a Man by Steve Harvey

I just received this book PDF (THANK GOD) and I am eagar to sit down and read this. I want to quench my curosity about his thoughts on Men, Women and relationships. Though, a part of me is a little apprehensive because I might see some of the things that lead to my failed relationships.

Not that Steve Havey's opinion is GOSPEL, but I think he bring a "slap in your face reality" on how men truly think. I think we women, want men to be the way WE want them and not be open enough to take them as they are.

But I also believe, there's a "Woman's side" of a relationship that men need to adhere to.....as much as we need to have an understanding how men think, men need to have an understand how women think as well.

So, with that said, I am sure this will be a interesting read.

It's Good Friday!

I am thankful for Jesus, giving his life, so that we can have a "life".....I don't know what the world would be like. Though I am not "actively" in church, I do pray all the time and thank God for the MANY blessings I have in my life.

Today is a day of reflection and knowing the TRUE meaning of what Jesus has done for us. Without his sacifice, we would be NOTHING!! He died, so that our sins can be forgiven over and over and over. Lord, knows I am work in progress.

His love is truly unconditional and never ending. There is no love like the love of GOD!

Open Toe Shoe Pledge

Okay....IT's that time of the year ladies......time to take the "OPEN TOE SHOE PLEDGE".......so stop what you are doing right now, raise your big RIGHT toe and say with me:

As a member of the Cute Girl Sisterhood, I pledge to follow the Rules when wearing sandals and other open-toe shoes:

I promise to always wear sandals that fit. My toes will not hang over and touch the ground, nor will my heels spill over the backs. And the sides and tops of my feet will not pudge out between the straps.

I will go polish-free or vow to keep the polish fresh, intact and chip-free.

I will not cheat and just touch up my big toe. I will sand down any mounds of skin before they turn hard and yellow. I will shave the hairs off my big toe.

I won't wear pantyhose even if my misinformed girlfriend, coworker, mother, sister tells me the toe seam really will stay under my toes if I tuck it there. If a strap breaks, I won't duct-tape, pin, glue or tuck it back into place hoping it will stay put. I will get my shoe fixed or toss it.

I will not live in corn denial; rather I will lean on my good friend Dr. Scholl's if my feet need him.

I will resist the urge to buy jelly shoes at Payless for the low, low price of $4.99 even if my feet are small enough to fit into the kids' sizes. This is out of concern for my safety, and the safety of others. No one can walk properly when standing in a pool of sweat and I would hate to take someone down with me as I fall and break my ankle.

I will take my toe ring off toward the end of the day if my toes swell and begin to look like Vienna sausages.

I will be brutally honest with my girlfriend/sister/coworker when she asks me if her feet are too ugly to wear sandals. Someone has to tell her that her toes are as long as my fingers and no sandal makes creepy feet look good.

I will promise if I wear flip flops that I will ensure that they actually flip and flop, making the correct noise while walking and I will swear NOT to slide or drag my feet while wearing them.

I will promise to go to my local nail salon at least once per season and have a real pedicure (they are about $15 or 20 and worth EVERY penny).

I will promise to throw away any white/off-white sandals that show signs of wear... nothing is tackier than dirty white sandals.

Any violators will be prosecuted to the FULL extend of the law!!

We must adhere to this pledge or our cute, divalicious sistas heels to look like this: (see picture above).

It's official ~ I am going to have a nervous breakdown!

I can't believe that I spent the last TWO days diligently entering information into a spreadsheets, only to realize half way through, I have been entering the WRONG information!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All I could do, was pinch the bridge of my nose, count to 1000 and sigh!!! What I really wanted to do, was lay my head down my desk and WAIL at the top of my lungs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe this happened!!

As much as I wish I could have the much needed breakdown I deserve, there is work has to be done.........
