Breathe in. breathe out.
ok. normally i wouldnt have to remind myself to consume oxygen, but for some reason this week, i find it necessary to take a moment to inhale. then promptly exhale. but if you dont allow enough time between the 2, you could potentially hyper-ventilate. if you think about it, breathing is difficult! so the reason for these mini-yoga moments is from the insane office i work in! eeek. i went to a meeting and chanted to myself that "it just didnt matter". it was amazing how nice it was. i smiled. i spoke slowly. i reminded myself that i didnt care what anyone said and i left after 3 hours not feeling that bad! i wish i had shared my new methods for dealing with insane govt meetings b/c my coworker would have been a bit happier. it was like i discovered a secret and it made the light shine through the clouds. yay! so yesterday was ash wednesday. this should have been no surprise to me as it happens every year, but i had no idea it was lent, much less wednesday. so i say to my boss, "what happened to your forehead!" like i was really concerned b/c it was this huge black mark on his head. (editors note: i am catholic, so the mere fact that i didnt even *consider* ash wednesday is the true sign that i am losing my marbles). he says "it's ash wednesday!" im like "geez. that priest really did a number on you"(it was the largest ash mark i have ever seen, and a very distinct cross). i wonder if he sensed evil or if he knew of the govt project he was working on. both- legimate reasons! so then it all became clear. on tuesday night, my team was low on players and it turns out that someone even said to me, ahh they are celebrating mardi gras. it still did not dawn on me what time of the season it was. apparently, all those pink peeps at the SAFEWAY didnt trigger any easter candy thoughts. my point is - i dont even know what day of the week it is. this working for a living thing is really getting to me. st. lucia it is! tyhe honeymoon is booked. aahh. i can relax and more importantly steve can too. inhale. e-x-h-a-l-e. ahhh. the other method to get through meetings is to just sign "she bangs she bangs" over and over in your head. peace. in a nutshell. miahamm goals vs T&T:2, miahamm assists:2. she's baaaaaack.
