No More Boy Toy

Not that he was much of a boy, but Dave and I are splits. The best thing I can say about the relationship is that it showed me that I really would like a "Real" relationship, one where it is actually going somewhere. I'm so tired of bad boys, but when I totally went for the ultimate good boy, it was so darn boring I thought I would cry sometimes. There so has to be some sort of happy medium. Well that is about all that is new on the horizon. If anyone knows someone looking for an obnoxious woman with an adorable kid let me know, I might try for the who enchilada!!!

Life as I see it

A little girl went to her bedroom and pulled a glass jelly jar from its hiding place in the closet. She poured the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Three times, even. The total had to be exactly perfect. No chance here for mistakes. Carefully placing the coins back in the jar and twisting on the cap, she slipped out the back door and made her way 6 blocks to Rexall's Drug Store with the big red Indian Chief sign above the door. She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give her some attention but he was too busy at this moment. Tess twisted her feet to make a scuffing noise. Nothing. She cleared her throat with the most disgusting sound she could muster. No good. Finally she took a quarter from her jar and banged it on the glass counter. That did it! "And what do you want?" the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice. I'm talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven't seen in ages," he said without waiting for a reply to his question. "Well, I want to talk to you about my brother," Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. "He's really, really sick... and I want to buy! a miracle." " I beg your pardon?" said the pharmacist. " His name is Andrew and he has something bad growing inside his head and my Daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?" "We don't sell miracles here, little girl. I'm sorry but I can't help you," the pharmacist said, softening a little. "Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it isn't enough, I will get the rest. Just tell me how much it costs." The pharmacist's brother was a well dressed man. He stooped down and asked the little girl, "What kind of a miracle does your brother need?" " I don't know," Tess replied with her eyes welling up. I just know he's really sick and Mommy says he needs an operation. But my Daddy can't pay for it, so I want to use my money." " How much do you have?" asked the man from Chicago. "One dollar and eleven cents," Tess answered barely audibly. "And it's all the money I have, but I can get some more if I need to." "Well, what a coincidence," smiled the man. "A dollar and eleven cents---the exact price of a miracle for little brothers. " He took her money in one hand and with the other hand he grasped her mitten and said "Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let's see if I have the miracle you need." That well dressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon, specializing in neuro-surgery. The operation was completed free of charge and it wasn't long until Andrew was home again and doing well. Mom and Dad were happily talking about the chain of events that had led them to this place. That surgery," her Mom whispered. "was a real miracle. I wonder how much it would have cost?" Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much a miracle cost...one dollar and eleven cents .. plus the faith of a little child..

Tree Killer

I AM THE MIGHTY TREE KILLER!!!!!!!!

I got to saw down a tree in my yard that keeps dropping mullberry's for my son to walk in. I am so tired of wiping up red foot prints in the summer. It still has some branches, just not right over the walkway. I also planted some flowers and went on a cleaning spree in the bedroom. I think I am ready for spring to, well, um, spring!!!!

At a later date I am going to put in something I need some advice on, but not quite yet. I need to think on it a bit more.

Have a great Easter Weekend Everyone!!!!

Love You All.

New Job

So I'm actually out of class on the new job, and calling customers. Earlier today I had a minor breakdown and had to get a "Snickers" bar. I had like 20 customers that hated their last rep so much they quit ordering from us, and some things we are the only company who sells unless you go to a dealer and pay more!!!! I was so disgusted and I was just kind of Gloomy and so I called my house and spoke to my financial advisor. He told me to invest in candy (And to bring some home to him) so I got the candy bar of the gods (No blasphemy really intended, just sort of marginally). I felt much better this afternoon, so I sold about 14K in product, plus all the other order that came in and were placed by others for my territory. It was a very productive afternoon, and I really like my job, so I guess I'll just have to keep my advisor on retainer. Have a great time people, Life is to damn short to skip a good candy bar now and then :)
