Inner Peace

-
My buddy Stiffy sent me this email which I found to be quite humorous. I modified a few things to match my own tastes. What do you need to finish?

CALMNESS IN OUR LIVES

I am passing this on to you because it definitely works, and we could all use a little more calmness in our lives. By following simple advice heard on the Dr. Phil show, you too can find inner peace.

Dr Phil proclaimed, 'The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have started and have never finished.' So, I looked around my house to see all the things I started and hadn't finished.

Before leaving the house this morning, I finished off a bottle of Pinot Grigio, a bottle of Bombay Sapphire gin, a package of M&M's, the remainder of my old Ativan prescription, the rest of the Girl Scout Cookies, some chips, and a package of peanut butter cups.

You have no idea how freaking good I feel right now. Pass this on to those whom you think might be in need of inner peace.

It's probably a good thing that you're not the one who had the leftover taffy from last summmer or else you would have had to eat it all before you left the house!

.... and what about those leftover individually wrapped chocolates from last Christmas?!?

LOL

Hey Rubye Jean - I laughed too when my buddy sent me this.

I felt like I needed a stint in Promises rehab with Lindsay after writing this. But I did giggle!

I'm eating those chocolates today for breakfast Blondie.

Mr. Moto - is that you leaving the rum comment? No more rum! At least on a cruise ship anyway. In the backyard would be ok.

Hey Karen - At least the food part sounded good to me and might be something I would actually do. Not so sure about the pinot and the gin combo.

I finished off a Special Reserve Port last night and some Concannon Pinot Noir - I feel good also. I love Dr. Phil.

Now Boarding Rows 1 Through 10. Is There Room For Your Carry On?

Here's an interesting texting typo I created last week: And if airline seats get any smaller, I can see this being an actual problem. Can you imagine? I'm sorry ma'am, but there is no way both of you can seat in one seat. You will have to purchase an additional ticket for "her". What would happen then? Would she want the window or middle seat? That's assuming she would even want to sit next to me. I mean, we are together 24/7 so she may want a little alone time, out in the open air, where she is free of any restraint. And what if she is chatty, flapping her lips the whole time? I'm not a big talker when I travel, preferring instead to bury my head in a magazine so I can take my mind off the flight and enjoy my Ativan. I imagine the conversation going as such: She:  I hate that bike seat at spin class. You have no idea what it's like. Me:  Spin class is only 50 minutes. You can handle it. I bought you padded shorts. Those weren't     ...

Commuting Tips - How to Make The Drive More Fun

Today is Saturday, which means I get a break from driving to my job in Boston. I love what I do and I honestly don't hate my commute. By the end of the week however, I can get fairly tired from the trip. So, in order to stay sharp on my drive, I've adopted the following strategy to make things more fun,interesting and bearable. Talk on the phone. Talk a lot. And don't use your blue-tooth wireless set up either. It's more challenging getting in and out of Boston if you have one hand on the wheel and one up to your ear. Send text messages. Nothing says 'I love you' like a text message sent from a friend while navigating bumper to bumper traffic on the Mass Pike. My preferred technique - look down and type, look up for a quick lane check, back down again to type. Scan the newspaper. No better time to get caught up on the days events than while you are just sitting in your car doing nothing. Take mini-naps. Once you establish a path of travel, throw on the cruise co...
