Karma

I got an e-mail at work today that I thought I'd share with everyone, sometimes we need to be reminded of the little things.
1. Take into account that great love and great achievements invlove great risk.
2. When you lose, don't lose the lesson.
3. Follow the three R's:
Respect for self,
Respect for others and
Responsibility for all your actions
4. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
5. Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.
6. Don't let a little dispute injure a great relationship.
7. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate stephs to correct it.
8. Spend some time alone every day.
9. Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.
10. Remember that silence is somtimes the best answer.
11. Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time.
12. A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.
13. In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don't bring up the past (I'm bad at this one :( )
14. Share your knowledge. It is a way to achieve immortality.
15. Be gentle with the earth.
16. Once a year, go someplace you've never been before.
17. Remeber that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.
18. Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.
19. Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon.

Dinner Cruise

I went on a dinner cruise on Lake Michigan Sunday night, the weather was perfect, it was gorgeous outside, the food was good, and people on the boat kept me entertained all night! :) Here are some pics...

I shouldn't have gotten out of bed...

Have you ever had a day where you tell yourself you shouldn't have got out of bed? For me that was yesterday, I woke up an hour early and couldn't fall back asleep, well Dad and I went to breakfast as we do every Saturday, when we were done I headed back to my loaner car (I said it was a good day) and it doesn't start, I tried it twice before calling my dad to make sure he wouldn't leave. So he comes over and it still wont start. So dad takes me to work and I call the dealership (thank God my car was ready) and told them they needed to go pick up the car. When dad and I were in the car heading to work I said to him, it's going to be one of those days I should just go back home and crawl back into bed.

After work was was over I headed back home to get ready fora wedding in 2 hours mom was supposed to be stitching my bra into the dress I wanted to wear and she did....inside out. No big deal I just took it out and wore something else. A half hour before the wedding I text my boyfriend to remind him we only had a half an hour. He responds back I'm not going to make it to the wedding. It is now 30 min beforethe wedding and I just got stood up! I'm a girl, we don't go to weddings without a date. So I quick call up my best friend and she says she'll go to the reception with me, so I went to the ceremony with some people from work. After the ceremony we went out of a couple drink (of course I'm too young, but boy could I have used one)

Before the reception I had to go home and get the present, when I get home the mail is sitting on the table and I have something from the Illinois Tollway...strange, I don't have an I-pass (my parents do, but I don't) Guess what I got a ticket! Not one violation, not two, but five totaling $103.90! They caught my car going through the I-pass lane without and I-pass. The I-pass wasn't actually in my car, but it is registered, so that will be a fun day in court....

Like I said, it was one of those days where I should have never gotten out of bed. Today wasn't much better, but atleast my car started, I didn't get stodd up by my boyfriend of almost 4 years, and I didn't get a ticket in the mail (there was no mail today, but that's not the point lol)

Brewer's Game

A couple months ago at work we won a promotion so we got $500 to spend how we please, so we thought it would be fun to go to a baseball game. It was so much fun, 35 of us went all together and 28 of us took a school bus. Can you imagine 28 bankers drinking on a school bus? I can't either, but I swear it happened. Here are some pictures...
