Online Poker

Been playing online poker for a week now. A lot of fun! Not only am I playing in lots of cheap tournaments, I also watch my friends play (you can observe tables -pretty neat!). Yea, I'm new to this, lol.I currently in my longest game - been playing for 4 hours! I usually don't last more than 25 minutes, lol.

Some Men Are Pigs

I just went to get water from the water cooler at work and it was empty (yet again). I put my empty cup down loudly and took the empty bottle off. As I rolled the full bottle to the canister holder, a male co worker walks by me..... and just keeps walking.

A female coworker sees me and offers to help and I reply, "I'm too pissed, I can do it" as I lift the heavy sucker waist high and put it on the canister holder.

What is it with some men who refuse to help women? What is it with men like this?!?!? He is known for not treating women "right" so I shouldn't be surprised but damn, I am livid right now!!

So, the 5 gallon water jug is now on the canister, lifted by my bad back.

Christmas Eve, too. WOW - this man shocks me!

Words to Live By - The Four Agreements

Below is something a friend shared with me about a year ago. Last night, another friend reminded me of it and so I looked it up today. This is AWESOME! Read closely; fully absorb:

The Four Agreements

1. Be Impeccable With Your Word
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

2. Don't Take Anything Personally
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.

3. Don't Make Assumptions
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

4. Always Do Your Best
Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.

It's Rude Not to Spell It Out

Why do people insist on shortening Christmas with an X then adding "mas." I don't even want to spell it out for this blog entry - that how uncouth I think it is!

Christmas is ABOUT Christ. CHRIST should not be removed from Christmas!!

BTW, it's my top pet peeve!

Christmas Candy Reminder

Whatever you do, when you choose the candy to put out for Christmas, don't put in the bowl ANY type that you will eat yourself!

The Snickers Christmas-themed candy is now all gone from the bowl in my office. :(
