What I meant to say Wednesday (thursday edition:))

Okay so its Thursday, but I just found this button at Chief's Blog and when I consider the previous day, there were a lot of things I 'meant to say'.. So I'm going to join in and hopefully will soon figure out this McLinky stuff to see what other people have been doing this activity!


So the concept is,,, what did you mean to say that you DIDNT...:) Please feel free to share/comment! Just make sure to give credit to Chief!


1) Well the first one is kinda me talking to myself, but this is nothing new, you bloggies know I'm a lil wack-a-doo anyway! I was doing Jillian Michaels' 30 days Shred (ouch), and during the push-up section she always says 'I want you guys to keep pushing, don't phone it in, if you want to see your body's change you can not take a rest'... My response- Hahahahah I already stopped pushing (up) before you started your motivational speech too late! Maybe when we stop push ups I'll join in again! (maybe not,, but yesterday I did, other days I dont!).


2) I had a patient who used the phrase 'long story short'... seriously 40 times during a 15 minute case-history review. Frankly, if the story were short I suppose it would not bother me as much, but the stories were NEVER short... so why preface something with a falsehood. I wanted to say to her 'ITS NEVER SHORT!!'. But I did not.

3) I have this acquaintance that cannot have a conversation without attempting to impress others with the money they spent, or the people they know, or what they got at the store and paid 3 times the cost cause 'quality is better than quantity'. Its seriously every sentence is a brag or boast, and while I don't have any interest in SAYING anything back, mostly cause engaging in conversation creates arguments and 'I'm better than you actions'... But I do however wish I had a little tape recorder to play this every time he speaks...



:) Thanks folks,, did you have any things that you meant to say but did not this wednesday, thursday or week!:) I'd love to share and I hope to participate weekly in this fun activity. I hope you stop by to share/read my adventures!

I've come to realize that I need.... other people, not stuff or things,, just you.

I've come to realize that I hate when...people make decisions out of fear.
I've come to realize that money...should be discussed more often.
I've come to realize that certain people...will hurt your feelings if you let them.
I've come to realize that I will always...wish others had the family I have.
I've come to realize that my cell phone...keeps me connected to those outside my locale:)
I've come to realize that when I woke up this morning...I was healthy and able.
I've come to realize that last night before I went to sleep...I was proud of my day's choices and actions.
I've come to realize that right now I am thinking...about my new blog-to-be.
I've come to realize that today....nickel and diming takes new meaning in this world.
maybe it should be 5 or tener-ing now.
I've come to realize that tonight is..I get a home-cooked meal with my family.
I've come to realize that tomorrow.. is a packed schedule of lots of patients!
I've come to realize that I really want to...lose my Omentum and it may require work.
I've come to realize that life...is a highway with twists and turns, some good some bad, some with vision enabled, some with vision impaired.
I've come to realize that this weekend ...has great potential!
I've come to realize that this year... has been the best year of my life thus far...
I've come to realize that my husband...is yet to be revealed!:)
I've come to realize that maybe I should be...less rigid about other's decisions.
I've come to realize that I love ...pizza and music.
I've come to realize I don't understand...how we as a country do not already have a health care plan to protect our own. We protect EVERYONE.
I've come to realize I'm totally terrified of...being alone,, always have, always will be.. solitude would bore me to death.
I've come to realize my life...is so blessed with friends, family, loved ones, my health and those who love me for me and let me grow and become the best me everyday.

Thanks.

Picking a Spouse,, the most important Financial decision

READ THIS ARTICLE

This article is a great article on money and relationships. I am planning to create a new blog based on my struggles and successes with money, the things I have learned and the things I have yet to learn. This article could not have come at a better time as Kevin and are deep in budgeting conversations to allocate for 2010 all the things we expect to need in this coming year, and beyond. I am so blessed to be with someone who is willing to have these conversations, has financial responsibility and who is willing to grow through the adult-like changes that finances can create in a relationship.

Too bad we cant get someone's fico score on match.com right? hahahahah just kiddin!

Delusion...

Do you ever look in the mirror and see something different than what you expect? Sometimes people see themselves as heavier than they are, and some people see themselves as thinner than they are.

Some people see themselves in spandex and think that its a great look.
Some people see themselves in black pants and black shoes and brown socks and think they're hot stuff.

The topic today bloggies is Delusion.

How much of what we see is actually what it is and how much of it is what our brains tell us it is. I mean in 1980s spandex would be H-o-t- HOT! Without the fashion police one may not even notice that they were wearing brown socks...
Some may say that without magazines and the media pressing a view of femininity (be it large or small,, depending on your culture I think) we would want to look more or less of ourselves.

Our brains may very well be MUSH! How do we hit the reset button on them?

I went and bought this gorgeous red sweater, it had a huge cowel (sp?) neck on it and kept me warm and cozy and was in Christmas season and I loved it. I tried it on in multiple sizes and colors to be sure I got the right one. I seriously love this sweater. Well I wore it out with friends and pictures were taken, and I look seriously like a Christmas abominable snowman burnt by the sun. It was not supportive or beautiful like it was up close (in my mush-head), and frankly unless it was up close was too forgiving... Yikes.

So now I wear the sweater and think 'those around me see blob when I'm feeling good', and I think to myself,,, what are they seeing when I'm not feeling good. EEK. What does it matter what they see and does it matter more than how I feel?

Should it? I think I'm going to keep wearing the sweater but maybe not out on the town, and try to keep the photo-opts cropped? Oy.

Why do we make ourselves crazy over these silly things.

Hand Washing.

Is it concerning to anyone else but me that sometimes I go wash my hands in the warm water cuz its the warmest thing in the building? Is this how someone creates an OCD? I'm not worried about the germs, I'm just cold!

Thoughts...

PS I know your supposed to sing the birthday song in your head but I say Hail Mary's because it soothes me further,, now I'm sure we have a full picture of D's crazy right?:)

My picture,, for your joy...
