Question of the day
Is it better to do something selfishly based on what you feel is in the best interest of your own ultimate happiness or choose not to do something for your ultimate happiness in order to keep everyone surrounding you happy?
I apologize for any typing errors. I am typing minus my left middle finger. It is not functioning properly... I got into a fight with the washing machine this morning and it definitely won the battle as evidenced when it slammed shut on the finger I was using to flip it off... The next load I put into it is going to be jam packed full of dirty underwear, ketchup stains, towels, etc. especially if I end up losing my fingernail.

7.13.06
I will always have a comment about how I truly dislike the numbers 7 & 13. Anyone remember my post from July 13 of last year? Well, if not, check out the archives. So, this year, I'm more ok with the number 7. My feelings on the number 13 remain the same. But still, the date today freaks me out so I will be continuously watching my back.
It is one of my friends' birthday, though, so I kind of have to like today more than I used to...

Driving in the city
Does anyone understand why in the HELL every city has to have so many freakin 1 way streets? I mean, is it really that hard to design all cities with roads that go both ways? I hate 1 way streets because you can only go one way... and then, oh FREAK! That was the street I'm supposed to be on but it only goes east so now I have to spend 10 more minutes going in f-ing circles until I can finally get back to the one way street that I need to be on. If it was two ways, problem solved without any wasted time or aggravation.
I also hate one way streets because usually when I'm in the city, I'm trying to find my way around so I'm not really paying attention to whether or not a street is one way. Thus, my problem today. I was right at the base of chase field. I needed to go slightly west on Jefferson to get to where I needed to park. So I turn west. I wonder why there are people sitting in a turn lane on the north side of the street. (sidenote: I should have thought about this logically). Then I see multiple cars coming at me IN ALL LANES. Oh holy mother of god! I am going down a one way street the WRONG. WAY. Luckily, I am in my little mini car so I flip a quick u turn in the middle of the road (only slightly illegal) before all of the traffic reaches me. (Then duck, put my hands over my face and pretend like I'm not the most retarded person in the world at the moment when all of these people drive past me thinking, "Who's the idiot?")
So after this, I have to go north a block to washington so that I can go west. Oh, Washington has construction? Perfect. I have to go on a loop-de-loop detour for TWENTY, repeat: TWENTY minutes so that I can go .08 of a mile to the freakin field parking lot!!! My thought after this was that maybe I should have just tested my luck with the one way street... see if I could've beat the oncoming traffic to my turn which would've only taken about 30 seconds...even if it was a potential death wish. Or MAYBE all cities should just make streets two ways. And we're back to the original point: What is the purpose of 1 way streets?

Gotta love it...
The temperature at 7:32 a.m. (yes, that's AM) was 102.
For all of you sportsfans out there, I'm working at the Diamondbacks this week. Yes, that means I'm spending my days at Chase field. Apparently, that's supposed to be cool... and I guess it kind of is.
And I'm late for work.

Wedding Summer!
Tim and I just got back last Tuesday from Chelsea and Scott's wedding in Kansas City. It was absolutely beautiful. Two weeks prior to that, I took part in Wish and Josh's wedding in a small town just south of Kansas City. Here are some of the pictures of these beautiful weddings... I'm so glad I was able to be a part of each wedding...

Oops
I made a post earlier in the day (and it was LONG!) that I had to delete due to the sensitivity of some of the issues I discussed. I wasn't really thinking when I posted it for the whole world to feast their eyes on. Whoops.
Nothing exciting has happened today other than um, nothing.

I swear, I'm back
I'm going to be more consistent at posting. Have I said this before? Well, this time I mean it. I mean, seriously people. Who's keeping me accountable? It's been a freakin month for the love of god. My post busy season resolution is to post more...especially since I learned over the weekend that I actually have people that read this blog.
Yesterday was an absolutely insane day. Scary, actually. I PROMISE I will write more about it later.
For now, I just want to wish my parents a happy anniversary. It's been 32 years of wedded bliss for them. They are truly an example that love can last and can grow stronger over the years. I wish for them all of the best and that they have many more good years to come.
