Last night I had a massive asthma attack. It took me by shock since my asthma has been quite subdued for the past few years and I very rarely need to use medication. Well, in my state if shock, it took me a little longer than usual to find my inhaler, with each passing minute getting more stressful as my airways tightened. I finally found it buried in my purse, but was dismayed to find that there was maybe half of a decent puff left in it. I desperately tried to extract every last bit of albuterol out of that thing before giving up. It worked, but it took much longer to take effect. My guess is that the dose I took wasn't that potent.

Guess who's calling her doctor and getting refills on her inhalers today?

Rubber cement is NOT a precise method of sticking stuff to other stuff.

However, it is super easy to scrape off of acrylic paint.


I look like I got caught in a sparkly tornado, and I'm annoyed at my project right now for not doing what I think it should.

This must be where the chocolate comes in as a solution...

Every time, I almost cry watching this video. I don't care how cliche this song is.

I'm about to unpack some of my room. Here goes nothing.


ALSO...if you guys could pray for me and my decision about college, that'd be great. I might not be going to college at all this year. Not simply because of finances, there's other factors too that might bring me to stay home for the year. If God wants me to be there, He'll get me there. If not, then in the meantime, I prepare myself. I'll work my way to becoming a youth leader in December (when I turn 18, my youth pastor at the one church I help out at says he'll make me a youth leader there).

I believe with all my heart that Satan's true form isn't an Angelic Angel of Light..it's HUMIDITY!

Yet another steamy 90 + degree day with no end in sight.

I srsly want to pull a JOB with God & question His decision making process concerning Humidity,and Mosquitoes. He's go some s'plainin to do!

Click to expand...

unfortunately, yes. : ) it's roughly 600 miles and i could drive it in my sleep. i know every stop, every town and city. every landmark and probably could tell you where the next denny's is from any point in the journey.

i've been driving or riding that path since before i was old enough to know where we were going, and all i could do is ask "how much further 'till we're there???"

but hopefully the pilot will require neither directions nor assistance from me. ; p

i have a hard time travelling to sj now, because it's the city that my grandparents lived in. it's one of the very few places that i have roots in. it's a citiy that i "grew up" in, and lived with them for quite awhile. my grandfather taught me to drive there, played endless games of croquet with me and my brother, and my grandmother is largely responsible for any ladylike tendencies i have today, such as managing to not sit in a dress like a lumberjack.

as a teen/young adult, it remains a graveyard of bad choices and recklessness too. reminders of who i'm not anymore. a life that i know i lived, but seems so different than who i am today. it's odd.

suffice it to say that i have many, many memories.

sadly, all my friends and loved ones from sj are either in heaven or elsewhere. it's like a nostalgic ghost town, with only signs of another time. except that there are people EVERYWHERE.

and the reason i'm going is to clean up someone else's mess. and nobody likes doing that.

that said, i'm still grateful and richly blessed. and i AM grateful.

Either people think I'm not paying attention and won't notice, so no biggie, or they know I'm paying attention and Will notice and they're doing it on purpose.

It's also possible that I'm just really cheesed off (ohh yes, CHEESED) from last night still.

I hate reading hardcover books, I am a paperback-kinda girl. So awkward to hold, book slams shut on your fingers so easily. Death traps for readers really.

i have LOTS OF IDEAS too. unfortunately, said client isn't all that interested in them right now.

oh no, we have to stay on this dying lame horse until it drowns in the river and we all suffer for failing to succeed with your craptastic plans. yeah, that's the right idea. uh huh.

it sucks to be an idea person sometimes. to practically present a gift wrapped solution, but because they've thrown their $$$ away on stoopid ideas, now we're all stuck with this stupid nag.

You reminded me of this:
Comanche Indian wisdom says, "When you discover you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount."
In business, government and (sometimes) education often other strategies are tried with dead horses, including the following:

  • 1. Buying a stronger whip.
  • 2. Changing riders.
  • 3. Saying things like, "This is the way we have always ridden dead horses."
  • 4. Appointing a committee to study the horse.
  • 5. Arranging to visit other sites to see how they ride dead horses.
  • 6. Increasing the standards to ride dead horses.
  • 7. Appointing a tiger team to revive the dead horse.
  • 8. Creating a training session to increase our riding ability.
  • 9. Comparing the state of dead horses in today's environment vs. in history.
  • 10. Changing the requirements, declaring, "This horse is not actually dead."
  • 11. Hiring contractors to ride the dead horse.
  • 12. Harnessing several dead horses together for increased speed.
  • 13. Declaring that "No horse is too dead to ride."
  • 14. Providing additional funding to increase the horse's performance.
  • 15. Funding a study to see if contractors can ride it cheaper.
  • 16. Purchasing a product to make dead horses run faster.
  • 17. Declaring the horse is "better, faster and cheaper dead."
  • 18. Forming a quality circle to find uses for dead horses.
  • 19. Reviewing the performance requirements for horses.
  • 20. Saying this horse was procured with cost as an independent variable.
  • 21. "Promoting the dead horse to a supervisory position.(My personal favorite!)

Someone from my church posted this on our church Facebook page, and I have to admit, I have been guilty of doing this in the past. Even in jest, things like this have impact. I have a younger sister who does most of these things better than I do. That girl is someone I can always be proud of.
