Sleepy time, where are you?

Here's my life as of late, I take gobs of herbal sleep meds (valerian and melatonin), fall asleep, wake two hrs later, rinse, repeat. I have thought about it the past couple days, and now have one hell of a migraine. Taking pain pills from a friend, hopefully I'll get to nap before too long.

This pretty much sucks.

On a personal note, I have finally recognized something. Something that many girls long for but rarely find. I have a Rhett Butler! Now what to do... I have the tendency to be too eager, so I'll have to exercise patience. Good luck on that, right?

Trying to work on the running thing, but not getting much done with the boys here, because I feel bad not spending what time I can with them. Oh well, do what I can, when I can, right?

See ya next time,

Honoring the memory

So I haven't taken time to write in a couple weeks, but things are decidedly...meh. And one of those "dates" is coming up.

Sunday is Father's Day. When asked, I immediately volunteered to work a double, so as to not have too much time in my own head. A wise decision, I think. On what was to be Dad's 60th birthday last year, me, my brother, and the boys watched George Carlin and had the family recipe BBQ roast. I think I shall get Miller High Life on my way home and do something similar on Sunday. No tears, just laughs :)

If you're still able to, hug your dad. You'll never know how much you want to until it's too late.

Peace, love, and cheesecake,

Happiness is a good book... Or four :)

One thing I must make time for is reading. I love it, and just never get to do it, because I let so much else get in the way... Today, I went to Barnes & Noble with my dear friend, Laura, and got Happiness, by Thich Nhat Hanh which was a recommendation from my other dear friend, Sera. She told me to grab one that struck my fancy... I did, and within two pages, I felt like he was speaking directly to ME! I have a couple from the library, but I'm going to read this.. Soon.

Going to crack open A Game of Thrones first, and drift off to the Land of Nod....

Peace, love, and cheesecake!

Zen


If you're gonna talk the talk...

I started this post trying to come up with a title. I then realized that was like saying a musician must come up with the music before the words, or vice versa. I'm just going to write and see where the words lead me...

In the last 24 hours, since my last post, I've had people read and react to my blog, most were along the lines of "GOOD FOR HER!" and the like... in fact, all that I know of were that reaction! Seems that people really do care! In that vein, I'd like to say that I really do want to read comments from everyone that will post, but don't be a douchecanoe. This is a place for positivity!

For the past few days, I've let someone else's issues cloud my mood. In fact, in response to the question, "Hey, how are you doing?", little of what followed was only about me. So, that's one thing I'm going to change. New month, new me. It's more than just words.

I just came up with my title :)

I'm going to play some games and head off to dreamland...

But before I go, I'm going to leave my favorite quote from today, from my favorite new Facebook page... Roots of She. Check it out...

Og Mandino: Realize how good you really are.


Until next time, friends...

Peace, Love, and Cheesecake :)
