Welcome back Karma !!!!!! Don't sweat the small stuff. Don't let the actions of a few "children" ruin a perfectly good weekend LOL

Rise above it and never stoop to their level.

consider it done LOL

i came across "the four agreements" under a stack of folded laundry - it's been missing a long time!!!! i will be rereading the chapter "don't take anything personally" for the millionth time. it's a very good and simple read. i would appear to need to read it hourly LOLOL

are your friends moved? if so, what will you do for pizza?!?!?! this concerns me LOL

I think that's probably one of my biggest challenges, not taking things personally.

It's always easier to do that when I know what hacks people can be. Well, we all can be!

Also just forgiving people for being hacks can make life so much easier!

I read that book too, good advice, should have written it down because I read it so long ago, way before doing this program!

my copy of "the four agreements" is worn to a frazzle. it's been with me on every journey imaginable. it is such wonderful wisdom - IF remembered LOL

i inadvertently started to tell a secret the other day - oh no!!!!! the person i would have shared said secret with is a super good friend who would have never breathed a word. we've shared things beyond imagination and probably good taste LOL when i realized what i was about to do i said "oh no - i can't - i promised - i gave my word not to tell" - and i didn't. she never missed a beat - just laughed at my realization. the following week when the announcement regarding the secret was made, i raced over to her desk and told her - she didn't know yet. her words to me? "oh that secret thing? i'd forgotten about it." LOL she had not taken it personally!!!!

i ramble on but the point i'm attempting to make is "being impeccable with your word" is so important. not telling things people have trusted you with, not gossiping, blah blah blah - it's not easy but it is so worth it!

i tell anyone who tells me something in confidence - "you know that stays with me, right? if you want it spread around you're going to have to tell someone else." some people laugh when i say that. others just look at me a bit oddly because it catches them off guard.

there's a line in a movie - "chasing amy" - that i absolutely love - "what you don't know about me would fill the grand canyon." don't you love that? LOLOL

Hey Blabbermouth LOL

I can really do without pizza ! LOL I'm being really good. I'm only eating for one now ! LOL

I went to a concert last night. It's called Classic Albums Live. There are bands around Canada that tour Canada playing classic albums. Last night was Led Zeppelin I and Led Zeppelin II. It was amazing. They hit all of the songs dead on. I was impressed. There was a group of us that went. We got our tickets last September. They sold out fast. We ended up getting first row just off of center. We were within spitting distance LOL I didn't get home until after midnight and I had to work 4 hours today. My eyes looked like 2 pee holes in the snow ! LOL I made it thru the day without a hitch ! Now to relax today because tomorrow is the Super Bowl party. I should take a snooze in the afternoon just in case.

led zeppelin - music of the gods. i'm still hopelessly in love with the young robert plant - yes i am that shallow LOLOL

do you know how the song "black dog" got the title? i'll tell you. a black dog wandered through the studio and they said - that's the name of the song. also, they gave it that particular beat because they didn't want "black dog" to be a dance song. after i read that piece, i tried to dance to it in the kitchen. not possible. LOL

a few years ago i spent a weekend doing internet searches on obscure lz trivia - really.

i just finished making another muffler and watching a movie on netflix. my goal for today was to seek out all the junk mail i'd stacked everywhere and get rid of it. mission accomplished. the other goal was to hang up all the clothes throw around my bedroom. again, mission accomplished LOL

tomorrow maybe it won't be so gray and misting. mama wants to run the roads. i know i want to take back a pair of blindingly white tennis shoe clogs and exchange them for dull green or black.

now i am hopelessly confused about canada. first the fried food - now the super bowl? i had no idea canadians knew aboot - get it? - football? LOLOL
