Rants

• I found Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman on the Gospel Music Channel today!  I forgot how hot Sully was :)  Who wouldn't like a guy that can build you a house, be a father to your children, take care of you, and be firm and tender in his words at the same time?  Not to mention, who else do you know that looks good in rawhide pants and moccasins? 

                                                                   Me and Sully- (I wish)

• I met up with an old friend who I played ball and went to school with a few years ago.  She brought her son, Sean and we enjoyed a sweet dinner and good conversation.
  Sean was more interested in the doggies then having his picture taken.
  
  
  

eh, we tried.

• My patience has been stretched today.  When I am training and preparing you for a test I expect you to come prepared and to have at least glanced over the outline.  So, if I seem a little perturbed with all of your questions, it's because the answers are in the text that you were too lazy to look at.  Just sayin'.
• Don't take the back roads if you don't know how to drive on them.  That's what the main roads are for.  
• Items in my pant pockets include: car keys, cell phone, access cards, work ID, debit card, coffee zon gift card with .29 remaining on it, pen, scrap paper, chapstick (the air is very dry in the lab; and you never know who you might have to kiss up to), a dose of Aleve.  
• When I make a decision there is no discussion.  I can count on one hand the number of people who are able to successfully persuade me to change my mind and you're not one of them.  Regardless of how many perks, offers, etc. you throw in I am not changing my mind.  Oh, and to tell my co-worker that you have me pegged and that you will make me reverse my decision only adds fuel to the fire that you started.  
• Thank you for making me aware of a meeting the day before it is to be held.  I don't have anything else demanding my attention right. this. second.  
• 12 bridesmaids!  Are you freakin' kidding me?!  What the heck?!  Why invite guests at that point?
• 4:30 am wake-ups are no fun.  However, I am a fan of the 5 hour energy drink now.  I tried the berry flavor today and although it is a little bitter, it gets the job done.  I felt the effects in 10 minutes and got through the rest of the work and then some.  All the protein I ate today probably helped a little too.
• I am like goldilocks when it comes to beds.  It has to be just right or I can't sleep. I need to get over that real quick.
• sigh. I'm really, very, whelmed.  Not over or under, just whelmed.   I need my mind to slow down and my spirit to rest.  There is much to do and less time to do it in.
• Time for bed.  The alarm will come much too soon and if I don't get 7 hrs. of good sleep, it's going to take a lot more then a 5 hour energy drink to keep me going.
