To Cavalier and Lab Rat:

Due to a few things in your lives I wanted to share some words with you from a book I am reading.
These words may amke you laugh or think, but at least read them:

Love Your Bills
"It is essential tha twe stop worrying about money and stop resenting our bills. Many people treat bills as punishments to be avoivded if possible. A bill is an acknowledgement of our ability to pay. The creditor assumes you are affluent enough and gives you the service or the product first. I bless with love each and every bill that comes into my home. I bless with and stamp a small kiss on each and every check I write. If you pay with resentment, money has a hard time coming back to you. If you pay with love and joy, you open yhe free-flowing channel of abundance. Treat your money as a friend, not as somethign you wad up and crush.
Your security is not your job, or your bank account, or your investments, or your spouse or your parents. Your secruity is your ability to connect with the cosmic power that creates all things."
I liek to think that the pwoer within me that breathes in my body is the same power that provides all that I need, and just as easily and simply. The Universe is lavish and abundant, and it is out birthright to be supplied with everythign we need, unless we choose to beleive it to the contrary.
I bless my telephone with love each time I use it, and I affirm often that it brings me only prosperity and expressions of love. I do teh same with my mailbox, and each day it is filled to overflowing with money and love letters of all kinds from friends and clients and faroffreaders of my book. The bills that come I rejoice over, thanking the companies for trusting me to pay. I bless the doorbell and the front door, knowing that only good comes into my home. I expect my life to be good and joyous, and it is!"

Do I beleive this, I have no idea, I just read it... but hey there are stranger thigns in writing out there!

Good luck guys and I wish the best for you both!

It has been a shitty week! Started off with the husband and I about to divorce, I think. All because I wanted to have dinner with LR and Cav. I made all the plans and was about to leave and he laid th eguilt trip on me. Then he took off to go shopping and left me and baby girl home. So, if I left he would have been more and angry and because I stayed home he asked why I didn't go... no win situation. So, once again I was the worst friend in the world. I sometimes wonder why I deal with him, but I do love him very much! He is a wonderful father and husband, he just gets very demanding sometimes. I know I have my shortcomings as a wife, the whole cookign thing will always be an issue. However, he did know that when we met. Oh well... nothing sitting here talking about it is going to do.

So, Monday night I tooka ride over to LR's place to say good-bye! Was a pleasant good-bye. I know I will miss her! I am sure she willr eturn frequently enough I will continue to see her, but it just won't be the same.

This whole week of work was chaos. my office mate was on vacation so I was covering for a few of her responsibilities. Was nice to learn some new tasks, but consequently I got nothing else done.
Monday was my first leadership retreat... amazingly enough, I got a public apology from HRP. It was quite nice! I am still secretly gloating inside, although, I am well aware next month I am sure I will get ripped a new one for some unimportant reason. I also got some "inside" information from some wonderful confidants that made me so extremely happy! However, in the borderline of trust I will keep those comments to myself. I felt deeply saddened for Cav at teh retreat. She of course was not commended for as much as she should have been! If only HRp would stop and think about what she were sayinbg instead of just throwing words out there. Will she ever truly realize the effects of her words on teh people around her? No wonder her daughter can be such a little witch. She is the mini-HRP.

The week ended on Friday with another useless day of training. If only I coudl go to effective traingins that have a direct impact on my job. I don't have time to go to trainings that would actually help medo my job better becuase I am at these other traingins all the time. I specifically need a training in some software I use now, but there is no time to go. Guess I will struggle through until there is time!

Yesteraday was teh block party, I met the infamous "j". Very nice guy can see why F/OM would be drawn to him as "a friend of mine he alwyas refers to." Helped at teh block party a little bit, but baby girl was starting to get disgruntled by teh end of the day so we took off a few before 3. Said my good bye to Cav. Met her mom too. Can definately understnad where Cav came from now!!!

So now is Sunday, I should be doing chores around the house but it is so hot. Even with the air on. I should be doing homework too, but as you are reading you cen tell where my priorities are... blogging.
