Words Of (Stolen) Wisdom

I shamelessly lifted these from Post Secret. I usually find a postcard there that touches on something I've been though. (Sometimes it's scary.) Here are some things that spoke to me, I hope they speak to you.

You can do anything. But not everything.

No matter how low you consider yourself, there is always someone looking up at you wishing they were that high.

The world is speaking to you every day. You just don't always know how to listen.

llegitimus non carborundum - don't let the bastards grind you down.

It''s okay to be afraid, but don't let that fear hold you back. Instead, have it push you forward, breaking through the barrier you thought was there.

Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.

The true test of your character will be in how you treat those you DO NOT have to be nice to.

Feel the pain. Let it engulf you. Then let it go.

Failure isn't falling down -- It's staying down.

The wisdom of Dr. Seuss will always ring true in life.
"Today you are you, that is truer than true. There will never be anyone youer than you."

Find something here to carry you through your day. I'd like to know what speaks to you.

Forgot To Let You Know

I passed my midterm. I didn't do as well as I'd hoped, but I got the 80% of better needed. I need to go back to the way I was doing things before the first midterm, and I'll probably do better on the final.

If I could get the kids to not launch into sibling warfare as soon as my books come out, I'll do really well for the rest of class.

Eating Disorder

I know someone, very dear to me, who has a problem. She eats, eats, and eats. Then she vomits...



And I'm usually the one who steps in it...



I'm going to rename my cat "Bulimia".

Hahahahahaha!

I Think I Can, I Think I Can

I have my second midterm tomorrow in my Pharmacy Tech class. Ugh. I can't get any more into my brain. I am so tired.

New Look

Yes, things have changed. Those in the know will understand the symbolism, those that don't can guess. I'll let you know if you're correct.

I'll get my goodies up and running soon. And post more soon. (At least I'll try!)

I'm Still Here, And Moving Down The Road

Yes, I am still alive, Smith would have let you know if I was gone, I'm sure. I've been busy with kids and class.

One thing I would like to get out is my disgust of boys in hot rods. Yes, sweetie, you do have a fast car. Yes, it is a sweet ride. If you could drive it, I'd be impressed. You see, just because you can go really fast in a straight line doesn't mean you can drive.

Driving is about reading the flow of traffic and being able figure out what the other cars are going to do. Driving is maneuvering through traffic, finding the holes that open up for a moment and give a chance to get away from the guy riding your tail. Or getting away from the woman in the Mercedes talking on her phone with the BMW on her tail because the Beemer can't drive either It's not about flying up on someone's rear bumper and riding a few feet from it. Anyone can do that.

I love maneuvering through traffic. Especially when I have some young punk in a Charger, Mustang, or some other "fast" car behind me. When I am able to spot a place where a hole is going to open up, wait for the right moment, make my move, and leave the guy behind it makes my day. When I see that guy stuck behind the person who was making me nuts because they were going 10 miles under the speed limit after he was riding my tail, I figure he got what he deserved.

But, when that guy had been following me throug the openings I saw, try to pass me and not be able to because he misread the flow and has to get back in behind me I have to say the feeling I have is pure smugness. What makes it even better is that I drive a minivan. Yes, it's a minivan, but I drive it.

So, do you go fast down the road, or do you drive?
