An older lady came in to the bank today with her daughter to make a withdrawal. It was so sad because the mother was totally out of her mind (like dementia, I'm totally not making fun of her). I have a great aunt that is suffering from some type of dementia and I cant imagine what she and her immediate family is going through. And it got me thinking... I don't want to live with or die from something like Alzheimer's or dementia. I hope and pray that this never awful disease never effects me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ok the above statement sounds really selfish, so in that case I will hope and pray for you too.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Speaking of dying, those Lucinda Bassett commercials on the radio make me want to gouge my eyeballs out with spoons and swallow them (which would probably kill me)! She is doing a commercial for depression, stress, anxiety and she sounds so freaking depressed herself! I mean really she could at least pretend to be happy so that people would want to buy this junk.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
K so I googled Lucinda Bassett and in the first few things that came up it said Lucinda Bassett scam... yeah that should let ya know something right there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cant wait until Friday so that my extra long birthday weekend can start. Don't really have plans yet but I am sure laying on the couch watching HGTV and TLC will be sooooo much better than working.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I do believe that I have a true addiction to home improvement/design/cake making/food challenges/makeovers/anything that comes on TLC (except for Baby Story and those medical mystery shows) and HGTV.
Maybe Lucinda Bassett can help me.
Probably all that she would have to do is start to talk to me in that low mono-tone voice and I would surrender just so she would stop.
Happy Tuesday!

Mommy, I want to start school too!
As much as I like my job (really I do!) I feel like I keep hitting a rather large, brick wall. It just feels like, because I am young and look even younger, no one takes me seriously some days. Other days I am fine and am heard and feel like I have an impact and do a good job and all that jazz.
I guess what is boils down to is that when I work on the sales side of things I lose confidence. I don't really like to sell people things and I hate to feel like I am being pushy. I don't want to sell people a product that they may not really even want or have any use for so I don't seem to open as many accounts as some others do. I just suck as a sales person.
I can follow policy and procedure all day long and I am good at that. Once the sale is made and the actual account opening is ready to be done I am fine. I have my set of regulations to follow and viola! Simple.
So this coming to these conclusions over the past year made me think... I should go back to school so that I can advance myself in this company. I love the company I work for and the people here I just am not the best at customer service. I have always wanted to be in accounting, that is the whole reason at 18 I got into banking. I thought that I would get to go back to school way before now but finances and life issues got a little in the way of that goal.
But the putting off ends... well in my mind now but in reality not until the spring semester (hopefully) starts so that I can gather the funds and have plenty of time to enroll and get good classes at the times I want. WOO HOO!

My mind is too dull for RTT today, anyways...
I think that my car battery is about to die. Its really struggling to start... ugh I really don't have the money to get a new battery but hopefully its just a battery and not something worse and more expensive.
------------------------------------
For some odd reason when I typed the above, the nursery rhyme "There Was an Old Lady(who swallowed a fly)" came to mind. I used to love that one as a kid.
I don't know why she swallowed the fly-Perhaps she'll die.
------------------------------------
Do most people have pictures of just themselves on their work desks? My job is basically filling in for any one that has time off (vacation, sick, training, and all that BS) so I am usually sitting at other people's desks and today the desk I am at has several pictures on it, but one is of just them... It's sort of freaking me out because it's like they are looking at me.
-------------------------------------
What kind of kid says "Perhaps"?? I am thinking that we southernized the rhyme and said "I guess she'll die."
---------------------------------------
That's all I've got. See my mind really was dull today.
Happy Tuesday!

A true FML moment
(BTW this didnt happen to me.)
Last week I checked into my hotel in Tampa and was a bit lonely. I thought, I'll call one of those girls you see advertised in phone books like escorts and such.
I picked up the phone book and found an ad for a girl calling herself Erogonique, a lovely girl, bending over in the photo. She had all the right curves in all the right places, beautiful long wavy hair, long graceful legs...... well, you get the picture!
I figured, what the heck, give her a call.
"Hello," the woman says .
God, she sounded sexy.
Afraid I would lose my nerve if I hesitated I rushed right in. "Hi, I hear you give a great massage and I'd like you to come to my room and give me one. No, wait, I should be straight with you. I'm in town all alone and what I really want is sex. I want it hard, I want it hot, and I want it now.
Bring implements, toys, rubber, leather, whips, everything you've got in your bag of tricks. We'll go hot and heavy all night; tie me up, cover me in chocolate syrup and whipped cream, anything and everything! Now, how does that sound?"
"That sounds fantastic," she says, "but you need to press 9 for an outside line."

When you're dreaming with a broken heart it's hard to wake up
This post is mainly to encourage myself that things will get better. Hopefully if anyone is reading they will be encouraged too.
Psalm 147:3 He healeth the broken in heart and bindeth up their wounds
Psalm 56:8 O my child, lay your heart in My hand and let Me heal it. Yea, let Me gather up thy tears, for they are precious to Me.
Ecclessastes 3: 1-8 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.
~It seems as though now is my season for a part of me dying, being uprooted, tearing down, weeping, mourning, scattering stones, refraining, searching, throwing away, being silent, hating, and war. Nothing seems to be going the way I had planned. But I know that God does have a plan and this is apparently a part of it. I just dont see the light or the meaning behind it all.
~Right now it seems that I am at war. War is breaking out in my marriage, in my finances, with friends, and in thier lives, and in the lives of my family. I know that this is a learing and growing experience but it is so hard to think positive when the situation seems so hopeless. So the above verses I will read every day and they will come to pass I just have to have faith and be strong and know that everything happens for a reason.

RTT: My thoughts, exactly
The a/c went out in the apartment Sunday night. Yesterday before anyone came to "fix" it it was 90* inside with ceiling fans going. I say "fix" because although they fixed the part where the a/c wasn't cold they didn't fix the thermostat to regulate the temperature. So I have to call them again, take the dog to my parents again, let them spoil him and give him too much water again, so that he pees and I have to take him out at least 8 more times again, go in late to work again.
And my ice maker still doesn't work and this is the third time that I have told them about it. Obviously the maintenance people are not multi-taskers... they must all be men.
---------------------------
Its best to wash out the dog kennel immediately after the dog has an accident in it. Do not leave it in your car while at work in the direct heat. It doesn't smell good when you get back in the car.
----------------------------
The people at work are mean and make fun of me because I want a Subaru WRX. I think a) they are idiots and don't know what they are talking about when it comes to cars and b) they are all men. The car I want is awesome.
-----------------------------
Do you believe in life after love? I can feel something inside me say I really don't think you're strong enough...NO! But I know that I'll get through this cause I know that I am strong. ~ (thank you Cher)
------------------------------
So a friend of mine, who we call Cali for apparent reasons, went back to where she's from (yeah she's from California captain obvious!) and while she was there she got a new tattoo. I have never seen one like this before and its truly awesome. Its on the inside of her pointer finger and says "SHH". Totally awesome. I wish I had the balls to do something like that. I have a few tats but none that bad ass.

I'm not sure what to call this because its really not that interesting but thought I would put it out there...
Yeah so Sunday me and Hubs were walking through Wal-mart looking for a new thermostat. Being geniuses that the Wal-mart layout people are, they put the scales right on the same isle.
How convenient.
I thought to myself "I haven't weighed in a while so I might step on one." Oh that was just the wrong, wrong move. Hubs follows me and watches. I tried to convince myself that I hadn't gained weight(I knew I had) and that my clothes still fit the same(which they really do) but I knew that he would laugh at me and make fun of me because of the number. The number popped up and I was a little surprised by that number that I have never seen IN MY LIFE! But, I was OK with it and I quickly stepped off and made a mental note to work a little harder at the gym in the weeks to come just to tone up a little.
Well apparently my sweet, precious, loving, caring, non-judgemental husband thinks this number is quite funny and informs me that I am catching up to him.
So starting Monday I am going to torture myself with that program called P90X. I don't know if you (who don't read my blog) have ever heard of this or seen the infomercial for this but its pretty much going to kick my @$$! But at least that number will drop and my thighs will be slimmer and arms toned and abs in full effect hopefully by Halloween so that I can wear that really slutty costume.

RTT: Bordeom will provoke many strange thoughts
The front doors of the bank are glass (NOT mirrors), so we can SEE you!
A handle on a door means pull, a bar means push. I thought that every one knew this.
Last night I was in the nursery at church with 9 kids under 3 years old. The question of "When are you going to have kids?" has just been answered. (And yes, we all have ears, but no, crayons do not go in them.)
I cant wait for my birthday, August 31st! I am seriously considering going sky diving.

Hopefully I wont die and the professional I am jumping with wont mind the warm, wet sensation on the way to the down.
I never realized, until just a few minutes ago, how much I am dependent on my phone. It just died and I have already tried to check my text messages twice. I know the bill collectors are pissed because now they cant get through. I should really answer one day or maybe I will just change my voice mail to let them know that I am not Angela Henderson. Ever since I got my phone number changed about a year ago all sorts of people have called me wanting to speak with Angela Henderson. Seriously, I am not her satellite radio, water commission, bank, and any other person wanting to know if the Bull Pen (???) is still open.
Happy Tuesday
