Stress Management

A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked, "How heavy is this glass of water?"

Answers called out ranged from 7oz. to 17.5 oz.. The lecturer replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it.

"If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance. In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."

He continued, "And that's the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on.

"As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden.

"So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can. Relax-- pick them up later after you've rested. Life is short. Enjoy it!"

Dude is thinking with the wronge head

Ok, just gotta blow some steam .....

-First of all, when you know a girls' gotta man, don't keep hittin' on her and telling her you're " the best thing " for her. Then don't rub it in her face about her ex and that you were right about him.

-Second , when you've been trying to get with her for almost a year and a half ....even while she was ...and is currently in a relationship.....and she STILL doesn't wanna get with ya, just give up. Just let it go.

-Third, if she's got a new man, that doesn't mean you can still keep asking her out just cause the current relationship is still " new " as in months and not years .

-Fourth, cheaters......... are fucking morons. Don't chase after a girl you'll never get all the while you have your own girl waiting for you at home whose under the impression you're a great guy.

Overall, I've come to the conclusion that most men are fucking assholes and only think with thier dicks.

As for my day, it pretty much consisted of all that crap I just bitched about. Got lots of compliments on my blazer/ corset outfit and my co-workers are diggin my new look which is pretty cool. I never really figured people paid all that much attention to me, but I guess so. Later on next month I guess I'm supposed to get some award from Tag Heuer, which is cool... maybe I'll get a watch or something ( I wish ). I just really want it to be Wednesday already so I can go on vacation and get out of town .....spend some time with my midget and fuzzball. Gotta head over to the Yamaha shop while I'm in SLO and check out some motorcycles :D YAY!!! I wanna get some info on the YZF-R1, but Nick thinks I'm completely insane for even wanting that bike. If anything, I should rock the YZF-R6. Meh. He's right though, I'd probably kill myself on the R1. Out of all the colors, I'd probably end up with Blue... how original hunh? Everyone and their mother has that color. I'd rather have a pearl white, but beggers can't be choosers....not mention it doesnt even come in that color. Fuzzy, you should really think about getting a motorcycle too.

Tomorrows agenda.... it's Davids birthday tomorrow!! :-D Gonna stop by and cheer him up since he's gotta work on his birthday, drop off a little baby chocolate cake :)

You brave.....stupid bastard.

Wee Hours

Ok, so Casino Night was pretty fun, went over to Midgits house early in the afternoon and just lounged around till it was time to start getting ready. Her boss, Tom, apparently trashed the company lap top so it wasn't working...so Stef has me ask my good ol' boyfriend to fix it since he's mister computer wiz. Drive back to SLO, drop it off then run back to Grover... and start the whole " getting all dressed up " ritual before hittin' the road. I rocked the blue cross over top with a black flare skirt with 3 inch black heels ( hot ) while Stef rocked the white top, black skirt, black tall sandals and jean jacket. "It's a crime to look this good "-Stef. Oh yea...best Stef line for the night regaurding Landon, "I don't blame him for hating me, I'd hate me too".

Headed on out to Santa Maria and visited her friend Cam who was really really nice. Apparently he was checkin' me out cause Stef caught him looking, LOL. From there we went to Applebee's and had the biggest margaritas I think I've ever seen...had some appetizers since we both didn't wanna have huge meals. She spotted this dude, Adam, and I guess they're gambling buddies... so right when we were getting ready to leave she calls him on his cell and invites him to the casino. It's all good, the guy was actually pretty entertaining.....especially since he was telling us on the way to the casino that he just paid off $9k in gambling debt by selling his car. Geez, lets take a compulsive gambler to a casino. So we're driving there and he mentions this is the first time he's going to the casino SOBER.... has us pull over at a Chevron and gets himself a beer and drinks it all the way to the casino while Stefs driving. LOL. I can only imagine what the valet guy thought when he got into the car cause you could really smell the beer ( No, Stef and I were not drinking the beer ).

Run on into the casino and Stef has me get a Chumash Card, I guess it earns me points or something when I play..... I probably won't get much use outta it since I'm really tight with my money now. It's pretty though, lol. Sat down and started playing 21 with her and Adam...overall.... I lost $30, Stef lost $100 and I believe Adam lost $75....? It was pretty interesting though cause Stef got down to $25 at one point, ran over to the $25 a hand table, won $125 back in 3 minutes then ran back over to the $10 and played some more. You go girl, but ya still lost it all, lol.

I only lost $30 and that was plenty for me. Cam actually showed up and hung out with me for a bit since he could tell I wasnt wanting to lose my money, lol. Right on. Real cool guy, pretty interesting since he's Hawiian and all that jazz. Overall, had a great night with my girl and ended up crawlin' into bed with Rob at 4am. LOL. Poor guy, he was worried about me all night....stayed up till 1:30....woke up at 3 and waited for me to come home. AWWWWW. Not to mention he had to work at 7am that morning, geezo. I on other hand slept in till 11:45 :D

I found the COOLEST thing at PetCo. It's a Purple Lobster. It's so cool, like a floresent purple. I want it so bad and name him Pinchy, teach him how to do the cha cha with his little claws. Steve actually asked if he'll grow big enough to eat ::GASP::

Rockin' those skirts and high heels

Tomorrows debauchory should be rather entertaining....best friend....casino.....booze..... evil plotting..... my oh my.
