Think about it for a minute???

2007-06-17T09:03:00.000-06:00

I found this online this morning. Thought it was quite interesting. Just had to share.

Written by Adrian Savage
1.Stop taking so much notice of how you feel. How you feel is how you feel. It’ll pass soon. What you’re thinking is what you’re thinking. It’ll go too. Tell yourself that whatever you feel, you feel; whatever you think, you think. Since you can’t stop yourself thinking, or prevent emotions from arising in your mind, it makes no sense to be proud or ashamed of either. You didn’t cause them. Only your actions are directly under your control. They’re the only proper cause of pleasure or shame.

2.Let go of worrying. It often makes things worse. The more you think about something bad, the more likely it is to happen. When you’re hair-trigger primed to notice the first sign of trouble, you’ll surely find something close enough to convince yourself it’s come.

3.Ease up on the internal life commentary. If you want to be happy, stop telling yourself you’re miserable. People are always telling themselves how they feel, what they’re thinking, what others feel about them, what this or that event really means. Most of it’s imagination. The rest is equal parts lies and misunderstandings. You have only the most limited understanding of what others feel about you. Usually they’re no better informed on the subject; and they care about it far less than you do. You have no way of knowing what this or that event really means. Whatever you tell yourself will be make-believe.

4.Take no notice of your inner critic. Judging yourself is pointless. Judging others is half-witted. Whatever you achieve, someone else will always do better. However bad you are, others are worse. Since you can tell neither what’s best nor what’s worst, how can you place yourself correctly between them? Judging others is foolish since you cannot know all the facts, cannot create a reliable or objective scale, have no means of knowing whether your criteria match anyone else’s, and cannot have more than a limited and extremely partial view of the other person. Who cares about your opinion anyway.

5.Give up on feeling guilty. Guilt changes nothing. It may make you feel you’re accepting responsibility, but it can’t produce anything new in your life. If you feel guilty about something you’ve done, either do something to put it right or accept you screwed up and try not to do so again. Then let it go. If you’re feeling guilty about what someone else did, see a psychiatrist. That’s insane.

6.Stop being concerned what the rest of the world says about you. Nasty people can’t make you mad. Nice people can’t make you happy. Events or people are simply events or people. They can’t make you anything. You have to do that for yourself. Whatever emotions arise in you as a result of external events, they’re powerless until you pick them up and decide to act on them. Besides, most people are far too busy thinking about themselves (and worry what you are are thinking and saying about them) to be concerned about you.

7.Stop keeping score. Numbers are just numbers. They don’t have mystical powers. Because something is expressed as a number, a ratio or any other numerical pattern doesn’t mean it’s true. Plenty of lovingly calculated business indicators are irrelevant, gibberish, nonsensical, or just plain wrong. If you don’t understand it, or it’s telling you something bizarre, ignore it. There’s nothing scientific about relying on false data. Nor anything useful about charting your life by numbers that were silly in the first place.

8.Don’t be concerned that your life and career aren’t working out the way you planned. The closer you stick to any plan, the quicker you’ll go wrong. The world changes constantly. However carefully you analyzed the situation when you made the plan, if it’s more than a few days old, things will already be different. After a month, they’ll be very different. After a year, virtually nothing will be the same as it was when you started. Planning is only useful as a discipline to force people to think carefully about what they know and what they don’t. Once you start, throw the plan away and keep your eyes on reality.

9.Don’t let others use you to avoid being responsible for their own decisions. To hold yourself responsible for someone else’s success and happiness demeans them and proves you’ve lost the plot. It’s their life. They have to live it. You can’t do it for them; nor can you stop them from messing it up if they’re determined to do so. The job of a supervisor is to help and supervise. Only control-freaks and some others with a less serious mental disability fail to understand this.

10.Don’t worry about about your personality. You don’t really have one. Personality, like ego, is a concept invented by your mind. It doesn’t exist in the real world. Personality is a word for the general impression that you give through your words and actions. If your personality isn’t likeable today, don’t worry. You can always change it, so long as you allow yourself to do so. What fixes someone’s personality in one place is a determined effort on their part-usually through continually telling themselves they’re this or that kind of person and acting on what they say. If you don’t like the way you are, make yourself different. You’re the only person who’s standing in your way.

S.H.I.T. DAY

2007-06-05T13:19:00.000-06:00

Well, it has been a crazy couple of months here. No time to rest, relax, go to the bathroom. Our house is very busy. If were not having a cookout then we are out, if we are not out then we are renovating.

The renovations are coming along well I must say. We just had a brand new furnace and hot water tank installed yesterday. I can actually have a 45 minute shower now without running out of hot water within the first 5 minutes. I can actually shave and get the shampoo out of my hair before the water goes cold. What a blessing!!! Now, I think this week we will get a new set of stairs ordered and the window well dug. We need to have the concrete cutter come in and cut a ~~shitload~~tonne of concrete. Yikes... I can just imagine what that will cost~~our first born or second or third~~.

The girls are doing awesome. They are excited ~~and sad~~ for school to finish. Hubby is doing awesome too... He is really busy with work as well. I am doing good too... My job wraps up at the end of june for summer break. Still trying to decide if I want to work during the summer or ~~not~~. It is kinda hard for me to find something with the 3 girls home all summer and not have to pay a fortune in childcare. I know that I will probably be driving the odd time during the summer anyways.

Well off to do my hair for the afternoon.
Cause you know I do have some problems like Miss Sassy with the hair issues... Not necessarily the toilet thing!
Hopefully I can get on here a bit more
Hugs

**S.H.I.T. Day is "So happy it's Tuesday!"**

More Reno done.

We have the basement 85% gutted... We only left one bedroom downstairs cause my sil needs somewhere to sleep. Here are some photos of the progress thus far. I will post some more pictures later. This weekend will be full of work again, getting rid of the rest of the debris and cleaning the concrete. What a mess this was. The plumbing was the shits. The electrical is a mess. There was 4 foot by 6 inch strips of glass hidden up in the ceiling. Nice.

This was the family room... The kitchen was to the right of this photo...
The demo has been started here....

This was the kitchen.... We found alot of abandoned mouse nests in here... that window needs to be replaced... We do have to have the concrete cored... More money... But well worth it...

This was where the shower was... They put the shower right over top of the hole they dug for the plumbing... Not even filling it in... So needless to say there was alot of mold on the drywall here... The hole is about 6 inches deep... We will be digging up the plumbing in the concrete and replacing all of it... Then putting back everything the right way...

This was the bathroom downstairs...
Now it is gone

This was the kitchen downstairs...
Now that is gone....

Well Hello There

2007-02-08T13:24:00.000-07:00

Well I have been pretty busy with work and life in general. Not much time for sitting on my ass as of late. Hopefully I can back here a little more regular now. There is so much going on here. We are starting a major demo of our basement. Everything old has to come out, right down to the framing. A little re-design and some new walls and doors and paint. I will post some pics here later on of our progress. The guys are coming tomorrow to start taking it all down. Yay, I cannot wait. Chow for now

Girlfriends Summer 2006

2006-08-18T13:54:00.000-06:00

Well it has been a wonderful summer thus far. The Girls came out west from Ontario and spent a week. It was a BLAST! This was the first time we all were together. It has been a few years of chatting on the phone, chatting on-line, e-mailing, but that just does not cut it. What a wonderful experience we all had. From just lounging to going out to BBQ's to Dressing up and going out in public to doing each others make-up to not having to say a thing and just laughing. It was a great week. Not too many women experience that, I am grateful totally honoured and just plain happy to have friends like you girls.

Thanks for the laughs!

On To A New Do!

2006-06-11T19:10:00.000-06:00

Just found this and thought I would share....

2006-05-26T11:32:00.000-06:00

Why do we do it to ourselves... ??? Do ourselves up so much .. just for a few hours... Carefully select our wardrobe for a night out with Hubby... Right down to the underware. First you dig out the fancy undies, usually it being a thong.. No panty lines right..?? we couldn't have that..!! Then the Bra... A push up bra... One that is most definately 2 sizes too small... Suck it in.. We all want cleavage.. I know I have it with out (boobs sag without)the push up bra... But I choose to add just a little more... It seems as though us married women need to prove that we still have it... Your breasts begin to sag after your first child.. the only way they will have any perkiness now is with the push up bra.. the best invention for us women that have given birth and had babies suckin on our boobs... Your breasts will never be the same as they were before you had children... Then comes the pants or skirt... I swear we have to try on every damn piece of clothing out of our closet to see if it still fits... Well I got smart this year... I chose to wear my jeans... Nice Calvin Klien jeans... (Mind you the party was Casual).. so that helped alot... But imagine if I had to go to a formal party... omg... Every piece of clothing I own would be on my bedroom floor right now... Then comes the top/shirt/blouse whatever you want to call it... Well I tell you tonight was my biggest challange with that... I think my entire closet of shirts ended up on my bed tonight... Well I know one thing.. My boobs did get bigger... That's suppose to be a good thing right... Well not really cause my tummy got bigger too... I couldn't even do half the buttons up the top half anyway... So I finally found a tank top and a cross over style top.. BUT the top was cotton.. good thing.. Cause that meant I could breath still.. But still a problem.. The damn tummy rolls .. How was I gonna hide that?? Suit jackets are a gift sent from god.. I could still show cleavage and hide my tummy rolls all at the same time... My wardrobe was saved... at least I was thinking so... You see now I had to find socks.. and shoes... So I went in my dresser and got a pair of socks.. Nice high ones so that the boots I chose to wear did not rub and give me blisters.. I hate blisters on my feet.. they damn well hurt... I did choose my high black boots.. they have a 3 inch heel.. What was I thinking... Well I am all dressed and have my socks on.. I go to put my boots on.. MY feet grew too.. Omg.. what next... My tits, my ass, my belly, who the hell would have thought your feet would grow too.?? I didn't!!!.. So I then remembered that I came across a box today with pantyhose in it... So I took the socks off got the pantyhose (kneehighs) on.. After a little struggle .. I finally got my boots on with the help of my 3 year old... Yahooo.... Now that I am dressed I can get my hair done without worrying about messing it getting dressed... So off I go.. Then it is makeup.. Omg... I remember the day when it only took me 20 minutes to get it on... Well, 1 Hour later... I finally have my makeup on... An extra 40 minutes... NOw I am ready to go.. Hubby is gone to pick up the sitter... I am hoping that he will get here soon so that I don't have to keep going back to check to see if everything is perfect... Well, no... He is 1/2 hour behind... So back and forth to the bathroom I go.. Making sure I get everything right... Finally he gets home and we leave... I am sure everything looks fine... But hubby had to ask me how I was feeling.. He just had to ask... I told him I felt FAT.. yeah thats right... I felt fat... Well, You would too if you had on a push up bra.. A thong ridding up your ass... a pair of jeans that seem to keep getting smaller... A Tank top that is too tight for you over your push up bra and a Cross over shirt that is stretchy cotton that is over your tank top that is over your push up bra .. And boots that you couldn't get on with socks and barely got on with Nylons... All just to prove to yourself mostly that you still have it... Hubby could care less .. He is out to get a buzz on .. and you are once again the designated driver... By the time you are leaving hubby is feeling really good and on the way home falls asleep in the car... Only to get home and he is first to bed... But you know what... Hubby is the one that loves you..
We seem to do this all for ourselves and thinking we do it for hubby.. But No.. It is to prove to ourselves that we still have what it takes to tease the opposite sex... I think if we think we can still bait the opposite sex.. then we still have a strong hold on our hubbies...
But what I have realized in my short life is that my husband is there for me whether I am fat, thin, pretty, or homely(pmsl).... I know I have someone that loves for me the way I am... So think about the next time you get dressed up to go out... Is it really worth the stress of sucking your belly in or wearing that push up bra (mandatory after kids)... No its not.... But we will continue to put ourselves through the stress of it all... I know that next year it will be the same thing all over again... Just hoping that I weigh 30 pounds less... But, It will be one day of stress then back to my life... I have a family that loves me and a Husband that will take me anyway.. He loves me and only me...

Bare with me here... I must say it has been a beautiful week here with the exception of my lovely auntie showing up. The kids were great with the exception of the tempertantrums (not my own kid). Gracie loves to eat Crap Dinner at Jane's house as she put it, technically Kraft dinner! I nearly pissed myself laughing at that one. Miss Bella was mad last night cause Mamma wouldn't give her anything else to eat-5 mins after dinner was finished up and put away. She was also not impressed that she had to have a shower too (for her a shower is a good thing, she hates baths). She certainly told her dad off about the shower, 10 minutes later she was fast asleep, snoring louder than the growl of a chainsaw. Miss Hanna seems to think that the phone held up to Mamma's ear is an open invitation to tell me the entirety of her life in 1 second flat. I am gonna have to ask her what she said again. I am declaring that today (Friday) is officially ASS wiping day. My 6,5,3 year olds think it is gross to wipe their butts. They are way too girlie for that

Well Saturday I stayed home... And for good reason, Hubby did not give me enough notice that he wanted to go away. Well, He did, but then changed his mind and decided with no less than 10 hours notice that we had to go. Ummmm NOT! He had to go, didn't mean I had to go. I did tell him that he had to take 2 of the girls with him and I was keeping "Gracie". So with that he left on his overnight road trip (drinkfest). Not even gone a few hours the doorbell rings. It is the Scouts. Ok, seeing as it was snowing out and I looked like a welfare case gone bad, I told them I would open the Garage door from here (inside the house) and that the bottles were on the right hand side. Can you say score! They were ever so grateful. So I go on about my day... Gracie and I have a nap (3-1/2 hours to be exact) The doorbell rings again. So I answer it. Remember the welfare case I refered to. Yeah me! There are two guys out there in suits. So I look up and down them and see a Name Tag (morons, opps Mormons). I promtly told them No Thank You and SeeYa! Literally. Well, the one dumb ass asked me if I needed help and if needed my dishes done. Ummmmm NOT! I must of really looked like shit. Hence the Welfare case! Probably didn't help that the yard was full of toys and that I was on my first glass of wine before the lovely stomach flu took over. But overall, with the flu and those 2 dumbasses and The Scouts (whome I got to help out with bottle donations), I had a very restfull weekend!

Well, at least I can say I have not been found under "Tasteless Tenderizer" (Sorry Sassy) ROFL. I can definately live with being a Goddess!

Gotta love GOOGLE.... I was just going through things on my blog site and of course... some one googled "Angie's Stairway to Heaven". It is the first thing on the google page... I must be a sex godess.. That is a good thing... Maybe my husband should think of me more as a sex godess.... Ahhhh... but on the other hand if he did, I would never get any sleep...

This is the look....

What's Involved?
The Cabbage Soup Diet plan is very strict. The idea is to eat as much cabbage soup as you like every day - enough to keep you full up, so you don't cheat! Plus specific additional foods on each day of the seven day diet. No alcohol is allowed and other drinks are limited to water, and unsweetened fruit juice on days when fruit is allowed.

Day 1 - Cabbage soup plus as much fruit as you like, excluding bananas
Day 2 - Cabbage soup plus vegetables including 1 jacket potato with a little butter
Day 3 - Cabbage soup plus fruit and vegetables excluding potatoes and bananas
Day 4 - Cabbage soup plus up to eight bananas and as much skimmed milk as you like
Day 5 - Cabbage soup plus up to 20 ounces of beef and up to six tomatoes
Day 6 - Cabbage soup plus as much beef and vegetables (excluding potatoes) as you like
Day 7 - Cabbage soup plus brown rice, vegetables (excluding potatoes) and unsweetened fruit juice
Recipes for the cabbage soup vary, but all are based on cabbage, onions, tinned tomatoes, green peppers, celery, carrots, mushrooms and onion soup mix.

Well I think we are gonna try this starting tomorrow as I am on spring break and I am not driving.
I hope I can sustain the diet.

Can you Say Expensive Weekend....

2006-03-27T07:50:00.000-07:00

And Spring Break is just begining.. Gotta love home ownership. When something goes wrong, you foot the bill. Well, Saturday morning we had sewage backup in the basement. So, Hubby trying to save us a bit of moula goes and rents an auger (need I say huge credit card deposit). I think him and his nephew worked on that from 10 am till around 7 pm and they gave up and decided to call in the plumber. Being Saturday night and all and after 8pm, it is kinda pricey. I do believe 310$ to be exact. I didn't feel the pain of writing the check till the next morning. I kinda had a few rums to deal with it. And, I was bummed not going to Penny's house having to wait for the plumber. Oh and they guys broke the tank for the toilet downstairs too. Spring Break just started here... I think I will be staying home most of it. Well, not really spending any money!
Happy Spring Break!

Gotta Love Saturday Shopping

2006-03-19T13:30:00.001-07:00

So yesterday I decided to go shopping mid afternoon. Not a good Idea. I was at the mall for a bit, then went over to Wal-mart. Not even 5 minutes in the store, I got ramed with a damn cart. You know how much hurts, right. Well, I turned around and looked at this idiot that just took my friggin ankle out. I said to to him "That FUCKING HURT!!", "Jesus!". The poor guy was soo apologetic, I just glared and kept on walking. Not impressed. But, seriously how many people think that when they get ramed by a cart and never actually say it. Well, I said it!! Bout friggin time someone stood up to these god damed ankle crashers!

If any of you might remember a sweet tasting pop from the Pop Shoppe, I have to say it is the best tasting pop ever. OMG, we were out at the Farmers Market here in Calgary today and a vendor sold this pop. I bought one, I may have paid too much. But, it was so worth it. I remember the crates in our house when I was a child and I remember the stubbies you could buy. Better yet I remember the Pop Shoppe being right next door to where I lived. I had a Cream soda. Oh, it was so heavenly. I will definately be buying some and bringing it back when I am out east this summer, if it will last that long.

2006-03-02T12:32:00.000-07:00

So I had a hard morning, driving bus, dealing with the bank, driving my own van, stopping by hubby's office with the 3 kids. Well I tell you it dawned on me when I saw how easy he had it. He has got it so easy, all he has to do is press a button. That's right! He just gets to press a button, a big red button. It is called the "EASY Button". Nice. Guess what? Now he doesn't have it so easy. I got the easy button now. I stole it off his desk. Well, I tell you so far things have been really easy. I just press this button when ever I run into trouble and it is all fixed. That's right, All fixed!

It tells me when I push it "That was EASY!"

So this morning as I sit at my computer, my 3 year old daughter decides she wants to get out of pj's and put on some clothes. I said "Ok then, go find some clothes and get dressed!". Well, she gets undressed. Runs back out to the dinning room in just her panties and socks, pulls her panties down and smacks her bum, shaking it all the while saying "Look at my big Fat Bum!". OMG, where she ever got that I do not know. It was hilarious though. I pissed myself laughing.

Well last night hubby and I got the girls all in bed fairley early. We had had a couple of drinks and then decided to have a hot tub. Keep in mind we have just had a dumping of snow over the last few days. So we both put on our house coats and headed out the door, I hoped in first. I think I shocked the shit out of hubby cause I was naked. Yeah that is right. Not a soul can see in our back yard, so it is completely private. But anyway, I got quite the chuckle out of hubby. He dared me to go sit in the snow, well the chair covered in snow. I told him it was his dare, so he had to do it. Sure enough, buck ass naked he jumps out of the hot tub and sits in the chair. I think he got a minute in at least. Dumb and drunk.
I still love him.

As I've Matured...

I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is

stalk them and hope they panic and give in...

I've learned that one good turn gets most of the blankets.

I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people are just jackasses.

I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and it only takes suspicion, not proof, to
destroy it.

I've learned that whatever hits the fan will not be evenly distributed.

I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to others - they are more screwed up than you think.

I've learned that depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.

I've learned that it is not what you wear; it is how you take it off.

I've learned to not sweat the petty things, and not pet the sweaty things.

I've learned that ex's are like fungus, and keep coming back.

I've learned age is a very high price to pay for maturity.

I've learned that I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy it.

I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, unless we are celebrities.

I've learned that artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

I've learned that 99% of the time when something isn't working in your
house, one of your kids did it

I've learned that there is a fine line between genius and insanity.

I've learned that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon and all the
less important ones just never go away. And the real pains in the ass are permanent.

The Sky Is On Fire

I must say that I am quite lucky.. I can look out my living room window and see dowtown Calgary and the mountains... There is not another house in between us and the River.. I can walk out on the deck in the front and watch the beautiful sunsets.. This is one I captured in November of 2005 when we were here doing reno's on the house so that we could move in... You can see the outline of the church building and the mountains.. The sky looks as if it is on fire.. It is really beautiful. I can't wait for more.

Awesome

Gotta love waking up in the morning with little more than 5 hours sleep, running a fever and a massive migraine all at the same time. Hubby informs you that your oldest is running a fever as well. So you put aside your ill fate of being sick and tend to your daughter. In the back of your mind you know you have to keep her home from school cause they won't take her, but you also know when you give her Motrin that within 1 hour she will be almost back to her normal self, terrorizing her younger sisters. Did I mention I had a migraine and was also running a fever with less that 5 hours sleep. Ya, I thought so. The day has begun, it is only 9 am. I still have at least 12 more hours before this house will be quiet enough to think, let alone sleep. I have already had to tell them all to be quiet 6 times in the last 25 minutes since being home. What will the rest of the day bring? A stonger headache? A higher fever? A loss of my sanity? A loss of my space? Or all of the above?

Finally I may have it...
