My Little Observations - January 2011

1. New Years Eve wouldn't be the same without some drama
2. Sometimes you just can't cheer some people up
3. I will not bend over backwards to make some people happy, especially when they wouldn't do the same
4. Going back to work after a week off for the holidays kind of blows
5. Still addicted to Twitter
6. Working at a bar/club is highly entertaining #peoplewatching
7. Celebrities who don't tip well piss me off
8. Mid-day naps are phenomenal
9. Snowboarding rocks my world and hurts my buttocks
10. Life is better when it's busy; especially work  
11. It's the smallest compliments that mean the world to people
12. Sometimes the morning just doesn't go your way, but it's up to you to change the direction of the rest of the day
13. I think it's silly when others call people out for things that they also do themselves 
14. Sometimes when you need reassurance the most... it is not given by the people you'd hope 
15. Kids are such simple creatures... when did life become so complicated for the rest of us?
16. Lazy Sundays are good no matter where you are
17. Bonding with my niece is an experience I will continually cherish 
18. Every Monday should be a holiday (no work day)
19. I do not understand how people live their lives in a constant lie.. I would think keeping up with all of that nonsense would be quite the full time job
20. I think Love is one of the most complicated emotions/feelings we experience
21. A year ago today I lost a very important man in my life.. My Grandpa Ron. He helped me understand my true value and to never settle for anything less than I deserve. I miss him dearly, but I know he's being a great angel to our family (and probably fishing and drinking beer) :) Make sure the people you love know it, don't take any time for granted.. Life can be cut short at any moment. 
22. Some good advice was given at a seminar I was at by a winner of Fashion Runway... He said "Every day you should look at yourself in a mirror before you walk out the door, and ask yourself if you look and feel good in what you are wearing, if you don't turn around and change" - I wish more people would practice this! I wonder sometimes if certain people even own a mirror! (he also said that Crocs are the worst fashion trend and NO one should wear them - I completely agree!)
23. I am appalled at the fashion items coming out for spring - old grandma floral prints (they look like something you'd use as a hot pad.) Fake animal prints/patters (they just look awful and most people CAN'T pull them off.) And dresses that look like something a stripper or hooker would wear (and I'm not just saying that because they are short, I say that because of the material.)
24. Just finished reading 'He's Just Not That Into You' - Watch out! LOL (this will result in some topics for future blog posts)
25. Don't understand why people are so flaky... you can either go or you can't.. and when you pick stick to it.  It's quite a simple concept. 
26. My Horoscope today made my day: "You've never looked better, Libra. As a result, people are drawn to you and you have an unusually large circle of friends. This is fun but time consuming, as everyone seems to want a piece of you. Try to keep your feet on the ground. Don't let your vision become clouded by all the flattery you receive."
27. LOVING the book I'm reading right now- BIG changes ahead for the life of Miz Red :)
28. I wouldn't trade time with friends and family for anything
29. Be careful with your actions... they usually speak louder than your words.
30. Those who cannot take responsibility for their own actions and have to make someone else look bad in the process are pathetic. 
31. Water is extremely intoxicating.. it's all in your head. One month no booze.. even I didn't think I would make it .... here's to a the long haul!
