Life

Life isn't like a bowl of cherries or peaches, it's more like a jar of jalepenos--what you do today might burn your ass tomorrow.....

More Random Thoughts

-- I think the freezer deserves a light,too.

-- I am always slightly terrified when I exit out of EXCEL and it asks me if I want to save any changes I just made to the next 6 weeks worth of schedules that I swear I did not make changes to.

-- I hate it when I leave the house confident and looking good and then see no one of any importance the entire day....what a waste!

-- "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this....ever

Random Thoughts

1) I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history when you die.

2) Nothing's worse than that moment during an argument when you realize you are wrong.

3) I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

4) There is a great need for a "sarcasm" font.

5) Was learning cursive really necessary?
