Words of Advice

Holy Cow - it's Wednesday! Geez......could this week go by any faster?!?!

The weather is glorious. Clear blue skys, 80 degree temps, and me - in a car - driving, damn....what's wrong with that picture. But not after tomorrow. Friday is TAMMI DAY!

I was just telling a friend that there is no earthly way that I could get everything done on Friday. None. So, why fight it? I'm taking the day and parkin' my ass in the sand. I WILL BE A BRONZED SUN GODDESS before I leave. 3 1/2 hours Sunday was a good jump start - so I can't wait for a day of music, reading, sun and water. WooHoo.

I've always been like that. Some people call it lazy. I call it practical. Why in the world would you set a goal you know is impossible and then kill yourself to try and achieve it and then beat yourself up when you don't? Oh, now don't misunderstand me....I'm ambitious. I set goals, and work very hard at them. But something like this....no. It's not worth it.

I already know I have to come back down here in the middle of May to finish getting everything cleaned up and moved. If I hadn't worked out a two week notice I could have pulled it all together by this weekend. But since circumstances came together the way they did, I'm not going to beat myself up about it.

So, I'm just gonna do what I can, and not worry about it right now. I'll have my clothes together, as well as my really important "prettys" and the rest will fall together. Oh, I'll bust my ass in May, but I would whether I killed myself on Friday or not.

So - here's a bit of advice. Pick your battles. Work hard, but realize when it's just not worth what you're going through. Life is to short, to precious to waste it frustrated.

"I'll have my clothes together"

Just remember to pack your underwear this time ;-)

I'm glad things are going well, as usual, I have so much to learn from you :-)

Can I celebrate Tammi Day on Friday too? Is it nationally recognized or is it turned down by the Holiday Nazi's that I work for?

Dang, Harv, stole my comment.

Have fun on Friday and get some sun for me, too!
