Sometimes I wish

I wish I had a crystal ball where I could have seen my future if I made certain choices so that life would be easier.

I know, I know life is not meant to be easy or fair...but sometimes I wish and that's ok right?

I had a hell of a week..yes I said hell and trust me that is not a potty mouth.

I was looking forward to hard 4 day work week so I could spend some time with my family in Newport Beach today. However, that was not in the cards for me.

Tuesday I had an employee relations issue...Wednesday I arrived at work to deal with another employee relation matter only to learn the employee didn't come to work the night before...finished my documentation for Tuesdays events and thought oh lunch time and then time to get busy only to hear the fire alarm go off. Dealt with a small fire everything went back to normal and left work at 5:45pm oh yeah I forgot to take lunch. Did laundry and went to bed at midnight. Thursday I finally had a chance to work on the employee relation issue from the day before but it was crazy busy since some documents I needed did not arrive and I had to wait until today. That's when I knew I had to cancel my vacation plans. Friday well I decided I need to evaluate my work situation for the next few days and make a list of all the items I am waiting on from other people to complete certain tasks.

The one thing that kind of bothers me most is that what I was looking forward to the most this week didn't happen - spending time with my family. I cancelled to do my job and took a few punches and kind of feel as though I am a failure. The upside is as I walked out on the shop floor I realized that there are good people at my company. They work hard because they have families too and they appreciate the work and help that I do for them. So to those people who say I sneak around trying to catch them doing things well yeah you got to me today but I will get strong this weekend.

Latin Skill are in tune

So today as I was waiting for the light to change as I was approaching my office I saw this on a bumper sticker on a rear window of the car in front of me: "Existimo ergo Deus non est". I read it and thought and then started translating using latin mad skills. I of course translated incorrectly to Because I exist, God does not. Then I looked it up and I was fairly close the translation is Because I think; God does not exist. Which of course made me very sad.

How sad that people feel that way. I respect their view but I don't understand it and it makes me sad.

On the upside I purchased my ticket to UT early this morning I still haven't received my approval for the timeoff but I am going. I want to see my dear friends that Do think; and know that God exists and have been such a great influences in my life.

Day Three of no FB Challenge

I am about to cave in and ask for my password for FB.

I wonder did I miss an important message? Am I supposed to be at an event and forgot? Is someone getting married, having a baby or passed away? I miss those important things.

I do not miss the harsh political comments, the dramatic posts, the comments that are taken so seriously.

Oh what am I to do? In some ways I like the quiet and peace of no FB and in other ways I feel very secluded. Do I go back for the chaos or do I sit still and enjoy?

Facebook Challenge Day 1

So I gave myself a Facebook challenge to not be on it for a week. I knew this was going to be impossible so I enlisted the help of my beautiful niece Nat. She changed my password and I no longer have access to FB. It has almost been a full day and I kind of feel like I miss it and want to know what everyone is doing and posting and then again I kind of like being denied access to my FB account.
I think my favorite text dialogue today has been the following:

"Heehee :) I love your new password :)" to which I responded
"I have a feeling it has something to do with my favorite....niece Laura LOL".
The response I received later "You will never know"

Who knows maybe now I will be more diligent to the world of blogging.

Weekend Summary - Sizzle, Magic Kingdom and late night phone calls

So last weekend was fantastic. Friday night I was able to have dinner with my friend Monica and it was fun although we have officially decided that we need to go to Sizzler in Vista or that other town the name escapes me at this moment. (Ramona - just remembered as I was proofreading).
I texted back and forth with Mr. Cook that night and eventually went to sleep.
Saturday I headed up to the Magic Kingdom with Shannon to join our friend Marnie. I did it, I purchased an annual pass. The weather was perfect and minimal lines unless you wanted to be in CarsLand.
Sunday was church and I was called to be back in the FHE committee. I love it get released - get a new calling - get called back to your previous committee. I am actually looking forward to this as my friend Ehulani is in charge and she has done an amazing job so I am more than happy to support her. This sunday was Fast Sunday and with me being at Disneyland I had a crazy thought during Relief Society - "What am I going to eat, I am not prepared". I then remembered I had some chicken breasts and some mole and I looked around for my friend Andrea to invite her over right after RS. Then on my way out I saw another friend and told her about it and then I texted another friend. Everyone contributed some yumminess to last minute meal.
After my guests left I spoke with Perri and then stayed up later than usual by texting and eventually talking with Mr. Cook; only to be followed by a midnight call with a dear friend. Good thing my workweek is only two days.
