Mr. Wags

My Dog Wags had glaucoma, and had to get his left eye removed 2 weeks ago. He just got the stitches out Friday and is doing well. For those who don't know, he is a basset hound mixed with a lab. What really sucks is that when it initially started a little over a year ago, the vet didn't diagnose it correctly. He said it was just a scratch from playing with our other dog. Sucks.

So do you think marijuana is illegal for animals or just people? My dog could really use some of that medical!

Just Words?

Sticks and stones, eh? A co-worker was just really super rude to me, and it's totally changed my attitude today. I was in a good mood, but now can't even concentrate to do my job. Isn't it crazy how a great compliment or rude comment can totally change your mood in an instant ?

Happy Birthday to me !

Last Sunday the 15th I turned 32 ! And what a way to remember it. I started off by going to the last home game of the Mavs, against the Spurs. We not only had free tickets and parking passes, we also were platinum level. It included a buffett with a carving station! What a game, we were trailing for most of the game before coming from behind to win in the 4th. It was a rowdy, playoff like vibe in the AAC !

Then we headed straight from there to Frisco for Edgefest. By the time we got there, the sun was about to go down. We only caught the last 3 bands I think: AFI, My Chemical Romance and of course.....The Killers !

Had a great bday this year, thanks Staci!

Just Give Up!

So I am getting ready to turn 32. And over the past several months, one thing that I have been learning is the importance of just giving up. Here's what I mean: so often I find myself trying really hard to make something happen, whether it's a job, a goal or a relationship. And ususally it seems like the harder that I try, whatever I am trying seems to allude me even longer. Yet if I don't stress out, don't give into fear and if I just go with the flow, things have a way of working themselves out.

For example, I was recently laid off. My initial reaction was normal: fear. I totally didn't give in, and now I am making more money and my company is way more cool! And then today, I was having lunch with a really good friend. All of a sudden, another good friend of ours just randomly comes in. I had been trying for over a year to get the 3 of us together, and it never worked out. So today I am not even trying, and it just happens! It was the first time in 5 years the 3 of us were able to hang out together.

So my advise: have goals and work out to make them a reality, but don't give into fear and stress--go with it !!!
