Best of friends…
January 4, 2012 by · 19 Comments
I don’t think best friends work for most adults. I don’t really think they work all that well for kids either but right now I am focusing on the adults. A friend of mine basically started a discussion on how we don’t really have best friends. Most of us had concluded that we had someone we called our best friend but they were back from college or even high school days and in reality knew very little about what was actually going on in our day to day lives. And we all concluded that no one we know lived like a Friends episode. I have this too. The female that most people assume is my best friend still lives in Phoenix. I probably speak to her physically on the phone maybe once a year and we text maybe a few times a month. How is it that this person is expected to be my best friend? It’s a good question and the one that we have been mulling over. I think one thing that comes into play is that people end up marrying their best friend kind of thing. When you used to run and … [Read more...]

1. Someone asked who owns mini cheesecake pans? Um, I do. And they work great for mini cakes, which are great for celebrations for just two people. Plus portion control for those that believe in that. :P These are the ones I use. I own a set of 8. Yes 8. Yes they get used. 2. There is no chocolate of any kind left in the Halloween bowl. Sadness. 3. When Fed Ex wakes you up at 8am and you stumble out of bed with bad hair and flannel pj’s and stagger to the door and they hand you a box marked alcohol…you pretty much know they think you are already drunk. :P Thanks Roxy Ann Winery for the complimentary bottle of Roussanne though! Even though my Fed Ex girl now thinks I am a lush. 4. I’m tired of dealing with supposedly grownups who throw tantrums when they don’t get their way. 5. Reminder that with the holiday season lots of people love to give to charity (which is awesome!) but remember to research that charity a little. Find out what percentage of your money … [Read more...]
Getting over it…

"Negative thinking destroys your brain cells and causes global warming. Source: The Scientific Institute of GetOverIt!" Saw this. It made me laugh. I really wish there was a Scientific Institute of GetOverIt. We should totally build one in Laid Back Land. I especially love when you give someone an answer and they don’t like that answer, so they keep asking. Only to get the same answer from you. Only to piss them off. The answer isn’t going to change. So get over it and move on. Is it the answer you want, no. Is it the one you have to deal with, yes. When I asked my parents for a Nintendo when I was a teen the answer was no. No matter how many times I asked or annoyed them, I never got one. I was told feel free to save up for one. Which I didn’t. So I didn’t get one. End of story. Not getting your way happens a lot, at least to me. Probably to most people. Life is compromise. Life becomes hard for you when you can’t compromise. When you can’t compromise you don’t … [Read more...]
