God, Give Me The Strength...

to delete all of those songs on my iPod that are wasting precious space that I NEVER listen to, but somehow cannot bring myself to get rid of.
Amen.

For my last hour of work I'm going to spend it cleaning up my iPod. But why is it so hard for me to delete songs in my iPod that I don't ever listen to? Right before I'm ready to delete it, I always think "Aww, but I love this song. I'll keep it" then when it comes on shuffle I instantly think "WHY do I still even have this waste of memory on here?!"

Yesterday Red & I were discussing how we've both been making attempts at not texting or messing with our phones while driving. She said she just started keeping her purse with her phone in her trunk so she wouldn't be tempted at all, and I told her I keep mine in my cup holder but usually don't respond to any notifications unless it's a phone call. Usually...
Well then she suggested that I keep mine in my trunk too for safe driving but my first thought was "Well what if I get rear ended? Then my phone is RUINED!" and she says "Yeah, because your car & your neck won't matter if you get rear ended, but your phone will be broke..."

Then I started telling her how I've been getting so annoyed with myself lately cause I feel like I can't go more than an hour without picking up my phone and start playing with it no matter what I'm doing. Like I just started watching the show Breaking Bad (I know, I'm late. Chata!) and I will be totally into it then just have this normal reaction to just pick up my phone and start playing WWF or check my Fb or Tumblr. Then I'm like what the frick am I doing, this isn't a rerun of King of Queens I've seen 12398 times, I'm missing what's going on!
It's ridiculous how I am addicted to my phone, like I am to Facebook. I need to stop this immediately and leave my phone in another room when watching a movie or show.

No Matter How Far Wrong You've Gone, You Can Always Turn Around

So I came upon a friend's Facebook status that was quite inspirational to me and I felt the need to share it.

So today's lesson was this: I don't have to be happy with someone to help them. It is my responsibilty to help others. When I was driving home from my "errand" I wanted to cry - not because of anything bad but rather because I rememeber how many people helped me before I got sober (they didn't trust me) but they still helped me. So, is it not my responsibilty to pass that on to someone else? Of course it is. I am grateful to be sober and to have loving friends in my life and what I want these people to know is that there is Hope! That despite their best thinking and actions - there are people who care and who will help! I hope they get the message and I hope they get this deal. But today I get the message and I am willing!!! -K.W.

I have never struggled with a drug addiction myself or maybe you haven't, but I'm pretty sure we all know at least one person who is that is near to our hearts. I don't know what her "errand" was in this status, but this made me realize that we should never give up on those who are struggling with addictions. I personally know how it feels to be emotionally drained from someone who struggles with an addiction, and how you reach the point where you want to just give up on trying for them because you feel like they are not trying for themselves.
Don't do it, don't ever give up on them. It is our responsibility to love, support and believe in one another.

Over the last month, I've been through some experiences that made me realize we're only here for a certain amount of time. Use your time doing good for others and never stop believing that people cannot turn their lives around no matter how far they've gone down the wrong path.

Life can seem meaningless if we have no one to love us, so love those in need like there's no tomorrow.

Still my all time favorite Alicia Keys video, so powerful

Speedy McCoffee aka Speedy Mc

No, I'm not offering a coffee delivery service. Although, that would seem like maybe a good way to make money... maybe not with gas prices.
ANYWAYS, back to my point!

After months of observation, my coworker "Red" & I have given a nickname to our other coworker who can usually be spotted in the break room getting coffee every hour or speed walking around the building / parking lot... Speedy McCoffe or Speedy Mc for short.
Because both Red's desk & my desk face windows that look out to the parking lot, we are lucky enough to see how often he is zipping around the building with a cup o coffee in his hand, which is why we deemed it appropriate to give him a nickname. Also, because after numerous conversations it was easier to identify him with a nickname rather than "Look there goes that guy speed walking again with his coffee!".

At first I thought it was just me who noticed this guy who spent probably half of his day between the break room and outside, when Red came up to me and asked me if he worked with us when seeing him walk by my desk. But since then, Speedy Mc has been quite an interesting topic for us to waste company time on.
At first, Red & I discussed when either of us would have a face to face encounter with Speedy Mc, we noticed he was not the most sociable individual. You would think after God knows how many cups of coffee, you wouldn't be able to shut him up after saying hello to him, but nope, not Speedy Mc. He will just look straight down and walk on as if you didn't even exist not even saying hello back to you.
We even started making bets on how many times he would do a lap around the perimeter in one day, then we would purposely talk to him in the break room to see who could get some kind of a response or words out of him.

Then one bright and sunny day, Speedy McCoffee actually started responding to us when we spoke to him, it was quite startling. Since then, things have been looking up for Speedy Mc. He's been getting his exercise in and started riding his bicycle to work (which means it could only be fate that we call him Speedy Mc) and we noticed he's even been dressing better which has (unbeknownst to him) earned him a new nickname....

wait for it....
Snazzy Speedy!

I know what you're thinking after this long rant, and it hit me yesterday that Red & I spend way too much time talking about this guy...

*Speedy is leavin' the building on his bicycle*

For my sister in law who always gives me crap about my shoe collection

I almost forgot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

instagram marriage

My sister is such a silly goose. Last weekend we were hanging out at her house sitting in the living room not speaking to each other, totally dazed into our iPhones and having a grand time.
I was browsing through my Instagram when I squealed to her "OMG I totally have an Instagram boyfriend! He likes to converse with me on his pics & he's super hot!" to which she replied "What? Who?"
I then showed her his pictures and seeing how good looking he was she said "He's not real, and look, he is following nothing but girls". Then I told her "Geez, hater! I'm not seriously trying to date this guy, that's why I said Instagram boyfriend.... Plus he lives in California, and I already stalked him on Facebook, so he is in fact REAL."

I don't know how she doesn't already know that I use the term "boyfriend" loosely when talking about men on the internet.... and Mark Wahlberg.

Dear Darla, I hate your stinkin' guts...

Today is National Handwriting Day! Go write on a bathroom stall! Just kidding. I hate those people that write on bathroom stall walls talkin' smack about someone or saying "need a haircut? call 555-5555". Yeah, because I want my haircut from someone who acts like a 12 year old.
Anyways, this groundbreaking holiday got me thinkin' about how shitty my penmanship has become over the years. Every time I write something down on paper I can't help but want to erase it and rewrite it till it looks somewhat legible and similar to my old handwriting that was decent like 6 years ago. Maybe it's because now technology has taken over everything that if I ever wanted to write a letter it wouldn't be legible at all and might as well be caveman symbols on a wall. Or maybe I don't ever need to physically write a letter ever again thanks to email, so who gives a shat what my handwriting looks like.
