Today I Like:

     Charter will soon be gone from my life!

     Caribou Coffee

     Cool-looking, long painted fingernails of uniform length, despite the fact that they interfere with almost everything I do.

     Cherries….dark red, sweet, & juicy.  And on special at the grocery store.  Yum!

     Cottage cheese & red peppers

     Copious amounts of Diet Pepsi

     Cleaning supplies – from my Norwex party I got a free mop, cleaning cloth, body cloth, laundry detergent, and most of a jar of cleaning paste (as in I only had to pay for a bit of it…I am getting a full jar J).  I also bought some dryer balls so I don’t have to use fabric softener on my towels yet hopefully they won’t be scratchy.

     Cake…as in my birthday is tomorrow!  Not like I’ll do anything but it’s fun just the same.  I might buy myself this for a present.

     “C”-ing (OK, that was a stretch) a new number on the scale this week.  I’ve now officially hit the twenty-pounds-lost mark.

Today I Don’t Like:

     Logging on to my school email this morning and realizing that I have to take a final tomorrow!  It was on the schedule I got at the beginning of the semester but still it sneaked up on me.

     Lake cabin party for work that I’ll be missing tonight due to the aforementioned lack of planning on my part.  L

     Losing my Charter email address after tomorrow.  It’s hard to try to notify everyone when I get a new one.

     Labor – as in work, as in sitting at my desk today when I’d rather be at home studying or sitting out in the sun (or both)!

What are you most sensitive about? 

Two things.

1 - Anything that anyone might say that might imply that I'm not doing a good job at something.  Obviously I know I'm not perfect, and of course I want to know if I need to improve the way I do something.  But the message is sometimes hard to take.  I take a lot of things personally that I shouldn't.  But I'm getting better about it, slowly.  I'm learning to look at criticisms more objectively, especially when they really aren't criticisms.

2 - On a much more serious and important note, it just kills me when I hear stories in the news (or anyplace else) of children being abused.  Just looking at those words I just typed makes me want to cry.  I seriously had to stop reading FOXNews.com except the headlines because there were just too many horrible things happening to kids.  I feel like a jerk for burying my head in the sand, but what can I do?  I just want kids to not have to hurt.  They don't deserve to be mistreated, especially by the people they trust.  How can someone mistreat their own child?  Selfish, selfish parents.  You need a license to cut hair but any moron can have a child.  It's just not right.  Ugh.
