Making tomorrow my bitch!

July 9th, 2012 by laina

I took last week off. I didn’t mean too and to be honest I don’t feel I’ve been working enough the last few weeks to “deserve” a vacation and by the looks of my to do list I sure as hell don’t deserve one BUT I took one anyways. I didn’t go anywhere glamorous but what I did do was unplug, watch a lot of Netflix, and think. I wanted to clear my head, recharge my batteries, and reset my focus for the rest of the year.

When I first woke up this morning I freaked out a little because my to do list had increased in size to an amount that I could imagine managing. Remember the Star Trek episode the Trouble with Tribbles where these cute little fuzzball things just multiplied and multiplied until they were out of control (I watched this with my dad growing up and while I wasn’t a fan I did like this episode as the darn things were cute). Then I realized it was silly to feel this way. I am always going to have a list and I must control the list rather than the list control me. So my focus was organization and making things manageable so I wouldn’t be overwhelmed and rather would be productive and feel accomplished. I would like to say I was successful today and even though it is almost 9:30pm and I am just writing this blog post that should have been posted hours ago I feel good about where I will start my day tomorrow.  It reminds me that you can’t change the past but you can change tomorrow and make it what you want. So beware tomorrow…you’re going to be my bitch! How will you make it yours?

I almost peed my pants

Wallflower in Bloom by Claire Cook was OMG, rip roaring, hilarious! I laughed out loud so many times that my significant other went into the other room to work (I think spitting wine out my nose was the last straw for him). While I also enjoyed Claire’s first book, Must Love Dogs which turned into… Read the Rest »

Gently touching the handle of the front door was all it took to make it swing wide open. It was late, after midnight, and everyone in the house except Tom was asleep. As usual, Tom was in his study working late. Walking carefully and quietly through the foyer, the adrenaline began to kick in. The intruder confidently walked into Tom’s study. Tom was concentrating so hard on the papers in front of him that he was unaware of anything else. Raising his hand, the intruder hit a stack of books sitting on a side table, sending them crashing to the floor. Tom spun around with a look of shock on his face as he recognized the person swinging a sharp object toward him. Tom raised his hands to protect himself but he wasn’t quick enough. The spikey end of the stiletto heel punctured his neck instantly, sending a spray of blood over the papers on his desk. He tried to cry out, but all that sounded was a gurgling noise as his lungs filled with blood.

The intruder set the shoe down next to Tom and backed out of the room softly, closing the door to the study and hoping no one would come looking for Tom until morning.
