Monkeys, Hamsters and M&Ms
1. It has been 3 weeks now since we removed the Hamster named Bubba from his wheel and replaced him with "ME".
2. I should be super skinny from all the stress and frustration caused by taking on this unwanted job.
3. In the first 2 weeks I single-handedly ate 3 pounds of M&Ms.
4. I just heard from a friend who heard at Weight Watchers that you must walk the length of a football field to burn off 1 M&M. Yah, like I see that happening.
5. I just discovered dark chocolate M&Ms. Now I have another reason to live, and walk too I guess.
6.Today I vacuumed and instead of moving about 30 piles of stuff I only had about 10 to work around. They will all be gone as soon as I can find the time. It is probably stuffed in a file under clocks, or watches or Does Anybody Really Know?
7. I took a cinnamon candle to burn in my office- no more Bubba the Hamster who wont shower smells.
8. I brought in an old espresso maker. Can you say hazelnut mocha latte? I just say Yum!
9. Yesterday we interviewed and hired a woman to be my replacement. She was anxious to get started with us but had to give one weeks notice.
10. Today she called and almost made me cry. She is not going to take the job we offered her. I can't imagine what anyone could offer her that would be better then working with and for us- oh wait, maybe money would do it???
11. I only ate 1/2 a small bag of M&Ms. I also walked around the office spouting profanities. I have heard that M&Ms burn off much more quickly if you swear. Lucky for me!
12. I get up at 4:40 every morning to walk for about 1 hour, this helps me to unwind before the morning even starts. I was told that one pound of weight lost is like removing 5 pounds of pressure from your back. I just want to know how far I have to walk to remove this monkey of a job from my back.
13. My hubby pulled out the trailer tonight. I am leaving in two weeks for our annual Idaho Elk Hunting trip in Oct. I am going, replacement or not because I am the cook, laundry woman, housekeeper and the only one who knows how to can the meat. Damn, sometimes it pays to be this good after all.
Oh yeah, and just to let you know that I am learning how to handle stress- I actually deleted this whole post as I was uploading it and had to start all over-and no M&Ms- maybe cause I already ate them all earlier today. Be blessed and thanks for stopping by.
