Don't feel bad for the suicidal cats, they're gotta kill themselves nine times before they get it right

So I don't know who wrote this, but I love it!

Go placidly amid the nose and the haste, and remember what peace there is in silence.

Go as far as possible without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others even to the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plan.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble, it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise cation in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery, but let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection, neither be cynical about love, for in the face of aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the the grass.

Take kindly to the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.

Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond the wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here, and whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.

With all it's sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful, strive to be happy.

You've got a jump in your step, but a rip in your rep

I would like to dedicate this blog to Raising Hope. Seriously that show is SOOO funny! The premise sounds kind of weird, it's about a guy who had a one night stand with a convinced felon, and then she got the electric chair, and he got the baby. It sounds weird, but it is so funny! Let me just share a few quotes:

"We are responsible we're just also and also passionate and spontaneous." -Virginia

"Those are also our gladiator names if we are ever on American Gladiator."-Burt

"Which we might do, because we're spontaneous!"-Virginia

"I'm still reeling from that 13th astrological sign. I kind of need to reevaluate a lot of things, and remove a tattoo." -Gas guy

"Boy the homeless people in this town have great nicknames!"-Jimmy

"Why does my room smell like old people?"-Maw Maw

"Because yesterday we let an old person go in there."-Virginia

"I'm donating a kidney to the mayor"-Burt

"Why would you be giving a kidney to the mayor? You voted for the other guy."-Jimmy

"Can't you put petty politics aside for day Jimmy, the man's life is at stake!"-Burt

"The mayor is a woman."-Jimmy

"Can't you just let me have this? This is as close as I'll ever get to being mayor."-Burt

"We'll have to do a coin toss. Heads I win, tails you loose? Tails...you loose..."-Virginia

"Dang it! I never win coin tosses!"-Burt

Isn't Hope seriously sooo cute?!!? She has the funniest faces in the show!

Love is friendship on fire

Have you ever noticed how when your friends get married they disappear? Like there is a married only black hole that they get sucked into. So you don't hear from them for months, then suddenly they text you and say "GUESS WHAT? I'M PREGNANT!!!" They reappear for about 9 months, then you see them at the baby shower, then POOF! They disappear again!

I mean I get that when you get married things are different, but when I get married, I still want to have friends! Is that breaking some kind of married protocol? I dono...

Another thing about marriage that scares me is all of the horror stories, and trust me working at a salon you get to hear them all!!!

This one woman's husband was cheating on her for fifteen years! FIFTEEN YEARS?!?!?! I can't even imagine! I am so scared of getting married, and having the perfect little life, then one day waking up, and my husband doesn't love me anymore. How does that even happen. Obviously he stopped trying, and stopped working at the relationship. I guess quality #1 in a husband-hard worker! haha!

This was crazy: two women getting their hair done side by side had almost identical stories! Both of their husbands not only left them, but they were both due to drugs! Secret drug addicts, and the wives had no idea!

Almost daily at the salon I get told how lucky I am to be single. How sad is that? We live in such a scary time!!! This is one reason I don't get why people rush into marriage. You are in the "honeymoon stage" for almost two years (I'm not saying that you should date two years or anything...), therefore when you marry someone right off the bat, you don't even know the real them. You are still putting your best foot forward. It is just so scary to me to jump into such a big thing especially with so many divorces.

Anyway those are just my thoughts for the day on marriage. This little boy on the playground the other day said "Just do your best and listen to your heart." Great advice! haha

I don't have to be hateful, I can just say bless your heart!

Okay, so I don't know what kind of stuff was in the water on Thursday night, but there were some CRAZIES out! Story time!

So I went to Dan's grocery store, and as I am pulling in I see the perfect spot! The last one on the row! There is a man standing right in front of the parking spot. So, naturally I stop, and wait for him to cross the road. He doesn't move...he just stands there. So I politely signaled him to cross, which he did, ever so slowly. As he was moving out of the way I headed into the parking spot. Then he STOPPED and freaked out flailing his hands like I was going to hit him (which was so confusing because I was going right into the spot and he was walking left into the store.). So I pointed over to the parking spot indicating I was not going to run him over, I was getting into the parking spot. So I parked, and he kept looking over his shoulder giving me crusties.

I knew he would want to yell at me, so I strategically waited till he got inside, then proceeded into the store. As soon as I walked in the door I saw him WAITING by the carts for me, I thought oh great...here we go. So I walk right up to him look him in the eye, and he starts yelling at me "Why did you signal me to go then speed up????" I replied trying to stay calm,

"I am sorry if I scared you, but I was just pulling into the parking spot the opposite direction you were going. I wasn't trying to run you over or anything."

To which he just kept yelling something about how I was reckless, and it was a stupid thing to do blah blah blah. To which I again calmly responded,

"I'm really sorry sir, but did you feel like your life was in danger at some point?"

He said, "Well no, but you just seemed really reckless..." blah blah same thing over and over... so again I asked,

"Were you scared I was going to hit you, because that totally was not my intent. I wouldn't just run someone down in the parking lot."

To which he responded, "Well no, I didn't think that."

I was thinking okay then why the heck are we having this conversation?!?! I mean sure if I am barreling down the isle like a maniac, if I hadn't come to a complete stop to let him get across the isle, (so if by speeding up he meant 3 miles per hour...), or maybe if I had flipped him off and been yelling obscenities at him, sure stop me and yell at me in the store, but really??!?! If you weren't scared, and you didn't think I was going to hit you why waste your time and mine to YELL at me in the store?!?! Seriously what a jerk! Old man, do you have nothing better to do with your time then yell at people? Just because I look young, doesn't mean I am reckless and don't know how to drive. I have a father thank you! I don't need you treating me like your daughter and berating me!

So the best part of this story is that after we had parted ways this woman came up to me and was like

"excuse me, but do you know that man?"

I told her I have no idea who he is, and told her about what happened in the parking lot, then she said that he was way out of line. She almost stepped in and said something, but she didn't know if he was my Dad or something because he was totally waiting for me in the store, and I walked right up to him like I knew him. I told her she totally should have stepped in because that was the most awkward, weird experience of my life! haha.

I am so grateful that A. she saw the whole thing, and B. she came up and said something to be about it after. I am glad someone else was a witness to the madness! Seriously that man was so crazy!

So another crazy, (but not so crazy...) was this lady at the red box, who told me that one day when the world goes to pot, all of the red boxes will drain our bank accounts because they have all of our card information, and that it is better to be poor! haha! I assured her that I have that one handled! haha!
