Crowning Glory
Some girls are fair
Some are jolly and fit
Some have a well-bred air
or a well-honed wit
Each one's a jewel
with a singular shine
a work of art
with it's own rare design
Dear little girl,
you are terribly blessed
But it's your heart of gold
I love the best
And that will be your crowning glory
your whole life through
It'll always be your crowning glory
The most glorious part of you
Some boys can waltz
Some guys can groove
Strike an elegant pose
With the really hip clothes
Some seem to have no faults
But we never like those
No we don't
He'll praise your eyes
Your melodious laugh [ha ha]
Call you more lovely than others by half
The one who's right
My gorgeous prince
Will be honest and true
He'll believe in me too
And prize your heart of gold the way I do
He'll know that will be your crowning glory your whole life through
Your love will see that it's your crowning glory
The most glorious part of you and you
and you
and you
That will be your crowning glory
Darling when they tell your story
They'll call your heart of gold your crowning glory
The most glorious part of you

Lets be honest, the past few days have been a blur! Not a bad blur, just a blur. But let me indulge you with some of the secrets my team has found to help us get through these crazy days that is Focus Weeks. For those of you who don't know, it's when our company gets together and plans out our Budgets and strategies for the upcoming year. So back to those secrets.
Isn't he just adorable? He definitely put a smile on my face when I got my Cute Overload email last week.
According to the email his full name is Augustus Pullo, but they just call him Gus. He's a Pekingese-Chihuahua mix, also called Pekachu. So this is what a real live Pekachu looks like. I know, so not the same, but it reminded me about the old Pokemon days. Either way, he's a cutie. And he made me smile!
As any ordinary workplace you'll have your inside jokes that only your team would know. And I guess with all the stress from Focus Weeks, YouTube videos has been our best friend. To be honest, I don't even know how some of these videos came up but they did, and man have they stuck!
Let me share with you a special dog that loves food. I believe this video is our Focus Week video for the year! It's so freaking HILARIOUS! I'm still laughing.
Yes, there were other videos, but none were as funny as this special guy. But let me share with you one of the underdogs. Bob Ross. This guys is amazing. Dead, but isn't that always how it is. You get recognized AFTER you've died? Sad, but that's life.
So yes, back to Bob Ross. I thought about putting some of the videos we watched on here, but there are so many. So just check him out on YouTube the next time your on there. He's just so helpful. The way he does it, it's just like magic. He does the simplest thing and tada... CLOUDS! Amazing I tell you! Too bad the dude's dead, I'd probably watch more.
Anyways, these are just a few of the random things that have made it into the wall of fame for Focus Weeks 2012.

So I received an email the other day suggesting to join the 'Gas Boycott' in hopes to lower gas prices. I was curious, so I read on. My conclusion... I think it's worth a shot, which is why I'm passing on the info!
Basically, what the long email said was not to NOT BUY GAS cuz really that's just impossible. But instead of buying gas from the bigger, more known gas stations, buy the gas from the smaller companies. You know the ones that basically follow the pricing from the bigger companies... For example, in the states the two big gas companies are -- EXXON and Mobil (USA), for Canadians it's Petro Canada, ESSO or Husky.
Now think about it, if they aren't selling gas, they're forced to lower their prices, which then causes the smaller gas stations to follow suit. Which means for us... you got it... LOWER GAS PRICES!
Then the email just goes on saying if one person were to send this info to 30 of their friends, and then those 30 would chain-effect and send it each to 30 more... you basically get the point, it'll spread like crazy. And if all these people would actually join the boycott, you get the picture. LOWER GAS PRICES!
So I guess this is just my way of spreading the news... LET'S ALL JOIN THE GAS BOYCOTT!

He is 1/3 Ilama, 1/3 Turtle and 1/3 Squirrel!
So this past week my team at work did an activity where we wrote a short story that included random words, interesting plots, creative names and changes and alternate endings... here are the stories we came up with....
English is so Overrated
Long time ago a baby was born but something was not right, he looked ok and walked
okay but he has problems speaking. Jose cannot arrange his words in the right order.
His speech even more complicated to understand than Yoda, which is his beloved dog.
While he is slurping his soup, he would drool all over the place. When he makes a
calculation, he would say = 3 1 2 plus.
He asked his dog for advice on how to overcome his problem. His dog told him to go
to school. So during the Fall, he applied at special school and learned how to speak
using foods in sentences. He learned to say, “I eat vegetables” and “meat is unhealthy”
and “mashed potatoes are good” and “dessert is delicious” and “I love peas and carrots.”
Somehow, he still could not get his sentences right.
Hector, one of his classmates, has a stuttering problem. But he would make fun of Jose
because he still could not get his sentences right. He would taunt him by saying “has
sauce pizza”.
One day, he met a girl, Bella, as he saw her playing a banjo which got his attention. So to
flirt with her, he pulled out his loose toenail and gave it to her as a token of his love. In
return, she gave him her prized umbrella and they fell in love. After they started talking,
he learned to speak Spanish fluently without having all the words jumbled up.
They decided to get married and created a spreadsheet with the best wedding locations.
They even had Justin Bieber sing in their wedding. They moved to Mexico and lived
happily ever after.
Alternate ending:
On one particular day, he said something in English to her which she misunderstood that
ended their relationship. Instead of saying “I don’t want this love to end,” he said “Want
this love to end, don’t I.” He should’ve stucked with speaking Spanish. English is
overrated.
Bananarama
Many years ago, in a land far away lived and evil ogre named Spongejetta-rella who liked
to cook EVERYTHING with banana. She would make banana bread, banana pudding,
banana splits, banana cupcakes, banana peppers and banana on the cob. Spongejetta-rella
loved bananas so much that she even took regular showers with them.
One day out of the blue, a giant PINK monkey fell from a nearby tree into Spongejetta-rella’s yard. He
shook him self off and took a few calculating steps towards Spongejetta-rella’s house.
Suddenly from around his waist jumped out a giant frog. The frog said…I would love to
have a banana fro-yo right now. The monkey lead the frog towards Spongejetta-rella’s
house and they knocked on the door. Spongejetta-rella opened the door and welcomed
them in. “Do you have a banana fro-yo?” the frog said. “No I don’t! But I do have banana
spaghetti, banana pancakes, banana fried chicken, banana chips and dried banana.” “That
sounds perfect” said the frog, “Do you think you could blend all of that into a smoothie
“SURE!” she said and handed it to him. SLURPPPPPPPPPPPPP went the frog! Now I
can take over the world the frog said! Just then like magic, the frog leaped into the air
and became… a giant evil canevil mosquito so big that he took the roof off Spongejetta-
rella’s house with his wings. “Whatever shall we do?” said the pink monkey as he
cowered in the corner. All of a sudden, a Massive crack opened in the ground and water
started gushing out from it shooting the mosquito/frog into oblivion. “Thank goodness
for the Crack of Andy” they cried! Spongetta-rella and the pink monkey were so happy
that they decided to invite their friends Umbrella, Channing Tatum, Toenail, Banjo and
Spreadsheet over for a party! They ate and drank banana floats all night. And they all
lived happily ever after…the end!
Alternate ending:
While they were enjoying their fun banana limbo game, away in the bushes the mosquito
frog watched them planning his attack. Suddenly he frolicked out of the bushes and tried
to eat them all…just like a ninja, Channing Tatum sprung into action and sprayed the
mosquito frog with Mervyn’s love scent and they all watched as he shriveled up and
died…and they all lived happily ever banana-after.
Why Mervyn’s accounting teacher does not know about EBDIT
In the beginning, there was a person named ED-BITSs. ED-BITSs was an oil
spill worker who enjoyed slurping slurpees while calculating the oil gushing
speed.
One day, he fell into the oil slick and met a talking mermaid. The mermaid was
a third fish, third human, and a third camel. ED-BITs fell in love with this camel
mutated freak and gasped at her stunning beauty. Shaquaia was her name.
She kind of resembled lady gaga but on a good day when she was less covered
in oil and did not smell like a fishy camel. So ED-BITs asked Shaquaia what she
liked to eat and she said pizza, tuna sandwhich, hay, plankton, and cabbage. So
ED-BITs made his new friend a hay and plankton slurpee. Then one day, an evil
force splashed by and it was the BP sasquatch. The BP Sasquatch also ate hay
and plankton sandwiches, but he also liked to eat camel/human/fish beings. So
ED-BITs tried to protect Shaquaia by shouting “Lilongwe Lilongwe.”
Which was supposed to scare off the BP sasquatch, but it did not work because
it was only a myth. And the BP sasquatch started laughing at ED-BITs banjo
and umbrella t-shirt. Oh, the BP sasquatch had no toenails… Suddenly, ED-
BITs used a spreadsheet to calculate how he could beat the BP sassquatch. But
that did not work. Luckily, President Obama was out fishing with Cher and when
he found out about ED-BITs ordeal, he just called Washington and asked for a
nuclear strike on the BP Sasquatch. That worked…. Then ED-BITS told Pres.
Obama a joke he said…knock knock! President Obama said who is there? ED-
BITS said well we both know BP sassquatch is not there…hahahahahahahah
Ending 1: In conclusion ED-BITS was so happy for the oil spill because if it was
not for the spill, he would have never met Shaquaia.
Alternate Ending:
Foolishly ED-BITs was sad because he realized that he could not live
with a human fish camel thing and continue calculating oil gushing speeds with
better accuracy than the BP corporation even though his computer kept freezing
up and crashing.

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low, and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with it's twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worse,
That you must not quit.

So I was thinking it's the new year ...a fresh new start ...time for some new resolutions! FAIL!
I think this year, my resolutions are going to be slightly different. I don't want to start my year trying to do something I'm just going to end up failing! I'm not going to try to hit the gym every day to loose weight, even though I really should. I'm not going to try to follow a strict diet, even though that'll probably be better. This year, I'm going to have mini goals.
For starters, I'm going to try to every week or other week go on a 'special date' with the bf. Next, I'm going to try to make it to church earlier... I know I've been bad. Hey at least I'm making an effort to try! I'm also going to play my ukulele every day for at least 1 month, even if it's for a few minutes. I'm going to speak with family at least once every week over the phone or webcam.
Eventually, I'll add more... but for now those are my mini goals. What about yours?

So here I am at work just relaxing before I have to get back to work from lunch and I thought I'd say 'hello'.
Okay, gotta get back to work now... Ciao!

I am so exhausted for some random reason! And I really want to write about something, but sadly nothing's coming to mind. So, I guess I'll just blab and hopefully something worth reading/writing comes up.
....
Nope, nothing at all... Sorry.

So, I've decided to give into the whole Twilight bit, and guess what... I like it. It's so funny. Not what I expected too. As much of an annoyance Jacob is, and his relationship with the Cullens is just hillarious! The only things I've found slightly annoying were Bella and Jacob at random sections of the story. But other than that... FUNNY in a good way!

I just don't understand how people are in regards to two things... doing the dishes and having a nice and clean living/work space. Check this out, is it really THAT hard to keep up and/or do?
Doing the dishes. Okay, so let's just say you go out to eat and on your plate there's little dried pieces of food stuck on your plate. First instinct... GROSS! Now let's take that thought home while you're at doing the dishes. Wouldn't you want your dishes to be spotless and clean without those nasty dried out pieces from your last meal? Duh, of course you do. So naturally you'll scrub the crap out of your dishes when you're washing it. Okay.... so my question is, how do you really wash your dishes?
- Personally, I scrub the crap out of them and yes even the bottom even though it's not really that dirty! And depending on how much I have to wash, I'll wash (soap) everything and then load it into the dishwasher to rinse. But regularly I just use my dishwasher as my drying rack. All in all, I think doing the dishes is a skill many lack!
Loading the dishwasher. Okay, now this I believe has an art to it. To maximize space in your dishwasher you HAVE to load it correctly! So why do people just dump things in there not planning a strategy. Okay so maybe the whole 'planning a strategy' is a bit much. But you get what I mean right? You can't just cram crap anywhere if you want everything to fit nicely to get cleaned properly regardless if it's just to rinse. Hence the obvious setup of the prongs in a dishwasher. The dishwasher company obviously set those poky divider things in a way that allows an even, organized way to setup your dishes and stuff... FOLLOW IT!
- Like it said, this is an art many people yet have to acquire!
Workspace. So I'm constantly reminded, or ridiculed, that my office area is always neat and organized. Is that really a bad thing? Is it so horrible that I like to work in an area that is neat, clean and organized; and because of which helps me feel less stressed out? Is it SO BAD that it's so much easier and quicker to find things when everything is in it's place? Doesn't it make it nice that one doesn't have to always be right in front of their desk to tell you where to go to find something because it's so organized? Hey man, even a cave man can do it... lol...
- I think it's AWESOME that it's organized. And I love how it's calming to sit in an area where there isn't clutter all over the place! Besides I love not looking like a slob whenever someone high-up comes to visit!
Living space. Quite similar to our workspace where we live should be just as important. Is it so hard to put something back when you're done with it? Hang up a sweater if you're not going to wear it for the day? Throw NICELY your clothes INTO your hamper instead of hanging all around the hamper? Is it so hard to throw trash away when your done with it instead of placing it some where else to find later on? Isn't it nice to have a designated spot for everything, say your coat and purse when you walk in the door or room for example. In the morning when you get dressed, is it really that difficult to re-hang the clothes you decided on not wearing right then and there?
- Personally, I can only... truely relax when my room/home is clean. I think if you do a quick clean of your place once every week your place will not get bad, nor will it be difficult to clean. Take the bathroom for example, if you do a quick clean of it once a week you wouldn't be having a hard time scrubbing all the crap off. It'll be really easy since it'll be fairly new. So now when someone comes to visit, you'll be ready and relaxed!
So, now that you're read all that, do you think I'm over reacting? ...am I OCD? ...am I normal? What do you think?

Had a fun eventful evening catching up with friends who I miss DEARLY... But unfortunately because of our hectic schedules... okay so it's more like theirs, but nonetheless hectic... it's been tough to get together... which is why for me tonight was SO special!
MISS YOU GUYS!

OMG I'm Getting OLD!!! So, I was just at a concert and WOW did I feel old. Don't get me wrong, they were good... I'm just getting old.
Okay so that's not exactly why I meant by "Outlook... SHMOUTLOOK!!!" How about this... so at the concert there were A LOT of 'younger' people than myself whether they really were younger or just look younger, but either way they made me fee younger. And it just reminded me of my good ol'days when I use to be in their exact position having those 'X's' written all over my hands .. lol... But one though that stood out for sure was they were having fun. Regardless of the time of day, stinky smelly people they were surrounded by, troubles of the real world... they were happy. They didn't care about anything at that very moment except the band... and the music! Which makes me wonder what's happened to me? Why am I now allowing all these daily dramas rule my life? Why can't I just sit back and enjoy life like I use to with no worries? Sure I have bills, traffic to drive through every morning, daily work related stress... but who doesn't? How can I be more optimistic? Why can't I automatically see the good in things? Why can't I be more positive like how some people see me as? Why am I such a grouch? I mean no one's done anything really horrible to me that's making me hate the world. I have an awesome family... a perfect.... loving boyfriend... the most adorable dog... amazing set of friends that span the globe.... a job... easy to work with co-workers... a very promising future in all aspects possible...
So what is it? Why is my outlook on life not as simple as it was before?
My challenge to myself... to live this week as if no one is watching me... just like how i feel when i sing my heart out in the shower... and just enjoy life... you only life once right? i say... let's not live a non-grouchy one!
Thursday, June 25, 2009
why is it only now that i'm noticing how close many of my co-workers have gotten? and why am i only joining them now? man! is my side of the office really that anti-social? we use to be the fun side... now i'm the jealous one! what duh! i guess it's a good thing i'm on good terms with everyone there... me is special!
