Life is BUSY
1. Students say they are busy becuase they have too much homework. Life will be less busy when they are "just working."
2. Working people are too busy because their jobs last all day and by the time they get home it's "practically time for bed"
3. Stay at home moms are "busy because their kids are so crazy and they are volunteering in so many different activities"
4. Retired people are "busy keeping up with extra-curricular activities and grandchildren"
5. Single people are busy because "they have so many chores around the house that married people can share"
6. Married people are busy because well "they are married"
7. Children are busy becuase "they have so much to learn at school and their parents give them sooo many chores"
8. Teens are busy because they have to socialize and get ready for college.
9. Dads are busy "trying to support the family"
10. My sister once told me that we all think we are "REALLY BUSY!" I agree, becuase I've always thought I was insanely busy in school. I've always thought life will get easier when I'm out of college...but it's really not the case. I guess I just have to make time for the people who are important to me....even if that means I dont' get an A on a test....grades, work, ect don't matter forever, but people ALWAYS do...

She's Not Bitter
They tell her she's beautiful
that her eyes do not compare
yet inside she's miserable
b/c they aren't really there
She has so many goals ahead
yet so sick of the lines she's fed
was she the "best part of their day?"
then why do they just walk away?
She's just so tired of it all
the same game again and again
what is with these supposed "men?"
love-it's somewhere she just can't fall.
Is she another to accrue?
a name to put on a sick list?
so many men with this point of view
makes her want to show them her fist.
Taking a little piece of heart
it is really no place to start
If they were really truly men
they wouldn't feed lines again and again
So, don't tell her she's beautiful
don't make her think she's wonderful
leave that for the one who cares
just for the one who will always be there.
so...this isn't a list...and it doesn't really apply to my life anymore...but I think it is important to remember what our single girlfriend go through A LOT!

What's On Your Mind? A List of Things I Question Daily.
1. Why are there so many random shoes on the side of the highway....do people just get sick of them and throw them out the window?? I don't get it...and this bothers me daily.
2. Again...why do men think it's cool to honk at women??
3. Why text when you can call??
4. Why do old men wear speedos to sit in the hot tub?? Or maybe I should ask...why do they wear them at all?
5. Why do people put spoilers on honda civics??
6. Why do people like saurkraut (however that's spelled)
7. Why are there food eating contests? We eat enough food...why do we need a contest to see who can eat more?
8. Why is it that the most beautiful, quality girls I know are single?
9. Why are there locks on stores that are open 24 hours?
10. Why am I seeing tapered leg pants back in stores??
11. So this is a two part question I think about daily...Why the heck won't men go to doctors?? If your knee cap is broken, your hip doesn't bend anymore...it's not going to heal on its own and your not going to feel better...Just go to the doctor...they were in school 15 years for a reason. Second part continued in next point
12. Why is it that someone will look up some "Ancient Chinese Healing Remedy" on the internet and then swear by it even though there is no scientific research done by the "john brown" that probably wrote it. AGAIN people...doctors went to school for 15 years for a reason.
13. Why is it that people share their entire life story within a few minutes of meeting me...I'm not complaining...it's rather interesting to know the gory details of other peoples lives...but I still think it's weird.
14. This is kind of a continuation of the old men in speedos in the hot tub question...WHY would anyone wear a thong leotard to work out in....or any form of a leotard for that matter...and why do people sit around naked in the locker room?? This question really alludes me and many of my clients since they all ask me about naked people in the locker room.
15. Why is it that a lot of people with Bachelors Degrees still have sucky jobs....
16. Why do men put on weight when their wives are pregnant and then magically lose it when their wife has the baby? It's called "sympathy weight" and the whole concept is quite weird to me...it happened to my brother-in-law who wouldn't gain weight if he ate lard for every meal...but my sister got pregnant and he magically gained 15 pounds.
17. Why did God create goodbyes? I really hate them..I hate them more than I hate saurkraut.
18. Why do people put bits of canned fruit in Jello and consider it a salad. Yuck...
19. Does Jared from Subway still eat Subway daily?? Or even at all?
2. Again...why do men think it's cool to honk at women??
3. Why text when you can call??
