I know what I want to be when I grow up!!

A British rocker chick!! That's right! I came to this conclusion on my way to the Toastmasters' Officer training this morning. (I am club president after all) and it is a good thing I did. I was sitting with my club, which is pretty amazing, when the person in charge came up to me. She asked me to give a small opening speech, the prayer, and pledge. Why not? I have about ten minutes to prepare,MORE than enough time!

I get up there, and talk about being a British rock star! How Toastmasters allows me that little piece of fame. I get the chance to be up in front of people, they applaud for everything, and I get to do something I love! I told the audience to dig down and find their own inner-rocker. I believe the phrase "rock on" was used at some point.

I got lots of feedback
I was called delightful.. I was asked to speak at an open house...I was asked to mentor a club! I also had some guy come up and stare at me..then call me madam president..he was kind of creepy....


What an amazing morning, and all because I am becoming a rocker!

Running the world isn't all it is cracked up to be...

Good morning exhausted!

My week has consisted of my first KNOW lunch as Hospitality chair....first Toastmasters' meeting as Club President.... several rehearsals...and a couple of extremely late nights out.... not to mention the crazy busyness that I am buried under at work. I still have to schedule the Hospice volunteers....a couple more rehearsals...a Toastmasters' training day....plus working out.


It is all worth it! I am meeting some amazing friends..they are the kind of people that I want in my life. I feel like I am actually contributing to the world around me.

Now, if I could just figure out how to add about 8 more hours to the day!

Have a great week everyone!

All you have to do is dream......

I did not get much sleep this weekend due to INSANE dreams...


Friday night:
I am watching the dream happen..but the girl in the dream looks like me. She is having an affair with her English teacher. She goes to his house...knocks on the door..but the teacher's friend opens the door...she says.. "I remember you from my other dream" Oddly enough..I remember him from another dream......they go to an outing together..where they run into the teacher's daughter. She tells him that he can't date her unless they always wear matching clothing!


Saturday night:
Theresa and I lived in an apartment above a theater...and were getting ready to go down to see a show. As we open the door...there is a little boy who looks to be about 6 or 7....he says he is 10...and needs a new mommy...we take him to dinner...which consists of an ice cream sundae....after he is done..he stands up...says... I lied, I don't think you would make a good mommy....and walks out.

Sunday night:
I was shopping in a large city....this strange man keeps following me..wherever I go..... I will be in a store and he will be staring at me through a rack of clothing... he was hiding behind a stack of boxes at Starbucks.....he ended up being my waiter at lunch...... I finally woke up as he was chasing me down the street....



I didn't eat anything late these nights.. I'm not stressed... I think I am just going slowly insane!!

What happens when you stick carrots in your eyes....

(Keratitis)

When the cornea is damaged, such as after a foreign object has penetrated the tissue, bacteria or fungi can pass into the cornea, causing a deep infection and inflammation. This condition may cause severe pain, reduce visual clarity, produce a corneal discharge, and perhaps erode the cornea.

As a general rule, the deeper the corneal infection, the more severe the symptoms and complications. It should be noted that microbial infections, although relatively infrequent, are the most serious complication of contact lens wear.

Minor corneal infections are commonly treated with anti-bacterial or anti-fungal eye drops. If the problem is more severe, a person may receive more intensive antibiotic treatment to eliminate the infection and may need to take steroid eye drops to reduce inflammation. Frequent visits to an eye care professional may be necessary for several months to eliminate the problem.

Angels don't wear leather boots....

I always get excited for the New Year. There are so many possibilities and adventures to be had.

So far 2008 has included:

A cracked windshield
A stomach flu
A $700 dental bill
Red eyes
No calls from the lawyer


It IS only the third day, right? I am going to take the advice of Kate, and keep my glass half full! Tomorrow is another day.
