I Gotta Feeling

Where did the day go?  Man, I tell you!  The days when classes are in session just seem to fly by. It was a good thing and I do like that it was a very productive day - but sometimes you just wish you had more time in the day.  I remember how it was as a kid.  The hours in one day seemed to creep by like a snail participating in a race. It was never fast enough.  I guess keeping busy and enjoying the busyness is the key.

1. As the president of the bowling league I'm on - tonight was the first night where I felt like I had it all under control and just knew what was up.  I like that feeling.
2. More happy news at the bowling league! We added two new bowlers tonight.  How cool is that?  We are now completely filled with bowlers to finish out the season.  That's an even BETTER feeling.
3. Now, I haven't worked out in nearly a week and I put on a pair of pants that used to fit a little more snug than I preferred.  Wouldn't you know that the pants felt too big??  That's what I'm talkin' about!
4. I loved that I posted a new contest on Facebook for work and students are really responding to it! 
5. Today everyone seemed exceptionally nice. I don't know what to make of it but I'm just going to reflect upon it. I love when people are smiling, happy, respectful, helpful and king.

A Delicate Balance and Stuff Like That

What a busy day! But I ain't complainin'.  It beats the alternative ANY day - see, that's that positivity! :0) The thought for the day revolved around influences.  I think I seemed to be the only one on staff whose parents have no influence on the decisions they make as an adult.  Part of me thought, "We are grown ass people!  Do we still seek the approval of our parents?"  Then I realized, well yes we do - well some do.  I am just not one of them. LOLOL My current influences are Oprah (she's been a long time influence), Maya Angelou, Suze Orman, some of my peers and colleagues I've met along the way, and people I meet and have conversations with day to day. Who are your influences?

Anyhoo - Just a thought I had.

1. I enjoyed staff time TWO days in a row! How about that?  Normally I can't take so much "togetherness" and this week has been pleasant.  I think it's because we have been doing more sharing and learning about one another as opposed to doing mind-numbing work.
2. Okay... So I can't tell you how much AWKWARD Black Girl makes my day.  I can't wait to see more episodes. Episode 11 is pretty good with the flashbacks! If I were rich, I'd fund this project just so I can see more.  
3. Last night's bowling meeting went pretty well.  I am SO SO SO glad that it is finally on the verge of being back to normal.
4. The night of bowling had two more things I loved about it - 1. I bowled a 181! 2. A new guy came by the bowling league to ask about joining.  The new guy had heard about the league and found our information online.  That's a good thing!
5. I had a good conversation with my graduate student and helped her think through some things.  I love having good, reflective conversations.  The conversation benefits all those involved.

Things That Make You Go Moo

What a great night of bowling.  I actually had a good time AND bowled well.  That's such a good thing.  Work wasn't too shabby either but bowling was much more fun. The rain today isn't even bad.  Why complain about it when others would be just as happy to have it?  The Rolling Stones has a lyric that says, "You can't always get what you want - but you get what you need".  That's a good statement to live by and a good reason to be thankful for what you have.  Just a thought I had today.

1. I bowled 50 pins over average. That's so awesome! Yay for a 191!
2. I talked to a vendor today and clearly she and I have built some sort of friendship.  I think that's pretty cool.  For whatever reason, we began talking about my Etsy site and the next thing you know she was perusing my site and asking questions about selling some of her art on that site.  Amazing how these connections just happen.
3. Hahaha the Shit People Say clips keep coming.  This one is. "Shit Nobody Says". Good stuff!
4. I came home to two packages. One box contained my new boots and the other contained  my new Facebook Cards I got from Moo.comhttp://us.moo.com/. The best thing about the Facebook Cards is that they were COMPLETELY free because of a sale the company was doing.
5. Someone commented on how trim I looked tonight and I really appreciated that. It's good to know that my exercising is making a difference. :0)
