It was rough

..the entire day. I could go for a few Hershey's chocolate bars all to myself watching the Lifetime channel tonight, but tomorrow I have a seminar that launches a new self-employment career. Go me.

I'm so wiped out from the day, I think I'll scarf the bag of Nestle semi-sweet chocolate chips in the pantry, instead of having to get off my ass to go to the supermarket for the candy bars. I wish I could just tell someone to go get them. Where are the minions when you really need them, I ask you??

Mr. Hot Stuff

I dunno..this pic just made me laugh. He surely has a lot of balls. Heh.

In a pinch for a brassiere?

I just had to laugh my arse off at this one. Click here for some wholesome craftiness. I mean, who would think that you could fondoozle a supermarket shopping bag to work this kinda magic?? Niiice.

Pawning your goods for gas

I saw this article and found it a bit disturbing. Is it just me, or does anyone else see anything seriously wrong with this?

Yesterday afternoon, on my drive home from my boy's little league game, I caught eye of the whopping $2.75 per gallon at the local (and least expensive place to fill in the area) AM/PM where I normally fill and glared at my wavering half-full tank in dismay. Thank goodness I don't really go anywhere. I think..

Now I know the AM/PM is the crappiest gas in town, compared to Chevron or Shell or even Mobile.. but financially, I can't even imagine going to the others. Generally, my tank takes about $20 to fill. As of late, however, it's been almost $30, which still isn't so bad compared to how much I've witnessed that it takes to fill one of those road monster SUV's. The other week I was behind a couple whose bill rang up an outrageous $103!!

That's when you really have to ask..what the hell?

It seems that these days most of what we work for is to pay the mortgage, child care, and gas bills, which includes that skyrocketing gas bill to heat the house. Honestly, living in the North West isn't all it's cracked up to be. I've never lived in an area where just about two-thirds of the community drive gas guzzling SUV's. Seemingly, you haven't "arrived" until you've purchased a commodity that excessively burns precious fossil fuels that kill the ozone layer and submitted to your part in expediting global warming!

Aye, but we're reknown for recycling our bottles..woot!

Self-esteem

You Have Low Self Esteem 36% of the Time

Generally, you feel pretty darn great about who you are, even when you mess up or fail. Occasionally, a huge setback will make you question yourself, but you pick yourself up quickly.

How is Your Self Esteem?

Confidence

“There is only one security, and when you've lost that security, you've lost everything you've got. And that is the security of confidence in yourself; to be, to create, to make any position you want to make for yourself. And when you lose that confidence, you've lost the only security you can have. … Self-confidence is self-determinism. One's belief in one's ability to determine his own course. As long as one has that, he's got the universe in his pocket. And when he hasn't got that, not all the pearls in China nor all the grain and corn in Iowa can give him security, because that's the only security there is.”

So, of course I had to Google a bit and I found this test to find out how damn self-confident I think I am. I have to say, I'm quite impressed. Hurhur.. I suppose it's safe to say that I'm pretty secure with myself?

Here are my results of "The Test..."

How self confident are you? Your score = 80

What does your score mean?

You love you! According to your score on the test, you've got a high level of self-confidence that shines through in most everything you do. Whether you're mingling at a party, relating to a loved one or approaching your boss for a promotion, you surely reap the benefits of this attitude. Belief in your own worth, after all, is a powerful tool for getting where you want to go in life - it feeds your sense of optimism, attracts others, and gives you the courage to deal with the cards life hands you. Keep it up!
