If you've been alive long enough, you've definitely experienced the "I've got more/better than you do" attitude from someone.Sometimes it's funny because we don't really care about whatever they are focusing on. If they happen to stumble upon a sore point though, their jabs can ...
Mean Girls If you've been alive long enough, you've definitely experienced the "I've got more/better than you do" attitude from someone. Perhaps it is because I never went through high school (I went from the first semester of 9th grade to college LOL). Perhaps it is because ...
Last night I ran across an awesome YouTube video. It's in the style of my "Anatomy of a Hater" post from the other day and is really inspirational.It takes a little while to get to the "good" stuff, the actual advice part, but hearing her story definitely helps.[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgOiSu4k9tM&w=460&h=345]Do ...

As ironic as it seems, I'm attending a full day, online seminar today. Ironic because I've posted more today than I have in a while.The key to this has been time, or lack thereof.Knowing I had 5 minutes here, 15 minutes there has helped me to condense everything I need to do. Strangely, ...
The Stir posted an entry that spoke to my very soul. It also made me feel normal and giggle in commiseration with the women who contributed. This is my version of their 8 point list. I've included a link to the original post at the bottom of this entry. 1. Potty Time No longer a solitary activity, Potty Time is now a spectator sport.

It was supposed to be a weekend thing but somehow turned into a day-trip thing. 11 hours one way. Oh my aching booty! Yep. I was told to pack for 3-5 days.
