Horrible and Marvelous

a lavoro a moda I have a very good friend, but with whom I am only in erstwhile touch, who once described something as, "Horrible and marvelous at the same time." Not only did I break out in peals of laughter, but I started to see many things from that unique perspective.

I am trying these days to not be as hard on myself. This is a weird approach to accept when I have considered myself a slacker for most of my life. It's like, how do you tell a slacker to take a break? The real objective here is to say, you are not as much of a slacker as you think you are.

My mom told me this weekend, "We think you are too much of a human being." They have little faith in my ability to be a hard-hitting, no-nonsense businesswoman. They think that I am generally defenseless against life's many assailants. If I stop caring as much, will I then stop being me? I think we all come across this question when considering change.

And now, a random list:

Things I Brought Into My Office This Week
glass bowl filled with six green apples

lilac orchid that died on the way over because it could not survive the 100 degree heat; thus, dead orchid

framed picture of Dozer in a basket

cheap Sony radio, so cheap that I hid it under my desk (where is the music coming from? nobody knows.)

pewter coaster

silver candy dish

clear glass USD Law tumbler used as pen receptacle

Xela Aromasticks in Floral
Yeah, it's a pretty empty office at this point. Likely to stay that way. I suppose it's now time to make use of this office.

I still don't have anything in my office other than the furniture that was already there. I did just get this sweet staple remover though. I'm pretty stoked about that.

Karen, investigate whether you should subscribe to Rhapsody, a streamng music service. I love it. You can listen to whatever you want for around $8.00 per month.
