Things I {hate...strongly dislike} List

1. The heat with 80 kids....TOO HOT!!

Compliments of Patty

Regina Brett of The Plain Dealer, Cleveland , OhioTo celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I've ever written. My odometer rolls over to 70 in August, so here goes:1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.4. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.5. Pay off your credit cards every month.6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.11 . Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.12. It's OK to let your children see you cry13. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about. 14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.24. The most important sex organ is the brain.25. No one is in charge of your happiness, except you.26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: 'In five years, will this matter?'27. Always choose life.28. Forgive everyone everything.29 What other people think of you is none of your business.30. Time heals almost everything. Give time, time.31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.32. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.33. Believe in miracles.34. God loves you because of whom God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.36. Growing old beats the alternative--dying young.37. Your children get only one childhood. Make it memorable.38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need. 42. The best is yet to come.43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.44. Yield.45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift

*hope

The second week of my job @ the Center has come to an end. I wish they were paying me more though. What a crazy week!! This job takes a lot out of me everyday but I do enjoy hanging with the kids. To be in a world where my GPA, my grades, and school in general just doesn't matter...is a great. But I realize that this is a temporary feeling. I'm looking forward to go back to school this fall {so many things to accomplish...It's NOW or NEVER}.
I miss being around my love muffins!! I miss them alot!! I will have to make a trip to Columbus to see them :) We'll see if I can get that in the works... :) I hope so!!
I've started working out...Finally!! It's hard to start running after working for eight hours but I know I have to do it!! As of right now I'm working out tomorrow and maybe that Cardio Salsa class on Tuesday with the Madre. That should be fun. I have to start reading Spanish articles again.
I'm reading a book called "What is the What?" I think it is going to be a good read. I need to start reading Unhooked. So many things on the To Do List!!
I have fallen in love with the another singer. This seems to happen everyday Lol
Her name is Hope. This is the link to her Myspace: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=22887675.
She has a great voice. My favorite song by her is called Who Am I to Say. Here are the lyrics to the song
Love of my life, my soul mate You're my best friend Part of me like breathing Now half of me is left I don't know anything at all Who am I to say you love me I Don't know anything at all And who am I to say you need me Color me blue I'm lost in don't know why I'm still waiting Many moons have come and gone Don't know why I'm still searching I Don't know anything at all And who am I to say you love me I Don't know anything at all who am I to say you need me Now you're a song I love to sing Never thought Id feel so free Now I know whats meant to be And that's OK with me But who am I to say you love me who am I to say you need me And who I am I to say you love me I don't know anything at all I don't know anything at all I don't know anything at all I don't know anything at all

Summer Time

A few things on my mind now that summer has officially begun:

• I need to start working out!! Seriously!!
• I like my job BUT I don't get paid enough to put up with what I do!!
• There are so many things that I have to look forward to when the Fall comes. So many things to accomplish, ,a higher GPA being one of them!! {GOTTA BE ON MY GRIND}
• I have to stay focused on my goals!
• Compliments of Karrine Steffans "Everyday when you wake up, only do things that you know will bring you closer to your dreams....Whatever it takes, do it and do nothing else, because every time you wake up and waste the day, you're wasting your life"

Boys.Boys.Boys.

Boys are so super RIDICULOUS!!
We, girls, act the way we do half the time because of something a stupid boy did or said to us!!!
And yet, I'm thinking of reasons why my boyfriend hasn't show up yet? There are no contenders...nothing. Just me.
Maybe it's supposed to be this way. I don't know.
I guess I'll just see what the summer brings.
I have so many goals that I want to accomplish, maybe there isn't any room for a bf.
I don't know.
I just don't know.
I am a firm believer that things happen for a reason.
So I know that there are reasons as to why I'm still single.
But can a sista get a break?! Lol

HOME

So finals are over and I'm back home. It was so nice to sleep in my own room and bed!!
Unfortunately I didn't get the A or B that I wanted in Pharmacy. That class was ridiculous!! Right now I'm waiting on my Chemistry grade. I hope that turns out well....we shall see.
I am now officially a JUNIOR in college. Completely insane... :)
I'm so ready for my job to begin! Spending my days with the bebes all summer long=FUN
I'm going to miss my Lovemuffins though! <3
I'm so excited about my new apartment!! Really,Really excited!!
I think this summer is going to be a good one ;)
