A Bad Rap...

I've never understood why people have to be so judgmental and stereotypical? It is very difficult for a sweet, petite, blond haired, blue eyed, woman to be taken seriously in all venues of the business world. People look at me like I am dumb all the time and I can't stand their infantile treatment. I know I would be given significantly more respect if I just dyed my hair brown to appease the business world. I must work at least twice as hard to earn respect from those I work with or encounter during my daily endeavors. Dang you blonds who act so ditzy!

I actually graduated in the top 3% of my class, probably higher if the level of recognition was documented below 3%. I wasn't the top student due to one class in which I received a measly 93%, because I was so ill the day of the final I couldn't even coherently read the test. Since I was 20, I've constructed a successful online bookstore, from which I've earned more in a month than my current post grad salary. I spend about 0-3 hours a week on the business which basically runs itself, although I have slacked on keeping up my inventory since I am so busy now. I thought about also starting an interior design business specializing in window treatments with an interior decorating/fabric store on the side. The business would take off in no time in my current location, but I don't want to start a business when I have plans of moving back to my home state. I am an entrepreneur at heart and so is my spouse. He wants to start a construction company or a business specializing in concrete countertops. I guess we will wait to see what the future brings. Oh, and did I mention I am incredibly resourceful. I invent new ideas from old ones and am an excellent researcher, which will definitely help in the business world. Hmmm...what to do?

I've noticed most women refrain from referring to their positive qualities, why...? Be proud of who you are and don't look back!

The sad thing is, the blondes that act so ditzy are probably bleached blondes, too. Hmm, maybe that's the connection? It's the chemicals in the dye that make them so stupid.

You should write a book about running your own business. Lot's of people would like to have a successful business that only takes a couple hours of work per week to supplement our income. That book would really sell!

I can't stand the chicks in corporate america who choose to CRY at work! I think that's even worse than the blondes, but maybe because I am blonde and haven't had any trouble proving that we're not all stupid...but the crying thing is a bitch. it seems like once ANY girl at work cries the men are suddenly reminded that we have emotions and they freak out! Girls, for the love of soul PLEASE STOP CRYING AT WORK!!!

And I agree with network geek that you should write a book! I was just saying at the office today that I'd loooove to find a business opportunity like that.

Written in the Stars

 I realize I can still feel you and after not remembering dreams for almost a decade and having none of you, yet I surprisingly remembered 3 in the past 3 months. I hated that you haunted me in my dreams a decade ago and feel I found a way to block the dreams. Now I welcome the visits since we are separated by space and time that feel lifetimes apart. I In one of my dreams you came to me with Amy Lee and I thought you were together. She sang me the song, "Broken". While on a solo journey of deep inner healing I met a man who deeply triggered me, yet I couldn't stay away. I followed my intuition and met him for a trip. Then during our synchronistic meeting he randomly started singing me the same song and playing it on his guitar while we were tripping together. On the huge screen he was playing a scene with shooting stars like we used to see together and the aurora borealis. My heart skipped a beat when I felt your energy through his song when we were all alone. I asked my

 Here I am 22 years after our last meeting feeling the distance between us. I finally realized why I can't seem to forget you no matter how many walls and blocks I built around my heart and mind. We are living two separate lives yet there is this indescribable energy that still remains even through the sound of silence.  After years of silence, I felt an overwhelming energy in which I felt I could explode. I resisted until I became so haunted I had to reach out. I simply sent you this song:  Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains within the sound of silence [Verse 2] In restless dreams, I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night and touched the sound of silence [Verse 3] And in

Think Happy Thoughts....?

I feel the temptation slowly creeping in AGAIN! I don't believe in divorce, thus despite my current relational problems I must try to make the best with what I have. I know I've been warned in the past to stop thinking outside the box (per say about my marriage). I can't change anyone but myself and need to accept those around me for who they are (ie. G). By the way, he did fix my tire yesterday. I need to focus on the good instead of dwelling on the negative and past. Even though I may not have been of a sane persona when I decided to marry G at the spur of a moment, I think I need to live with my mistake and make the best with what I have. The problem arises, because I am SELFISH, and only looking out for my own selfish desires, not the greater good of humanity. I believe I can choose to work with God's plan or against it, and in the end his plan will reign anyways with or without me. Why in the hell must I have such a strong subconscious? I know my life would be so d
