Funny Friday
There was once a snail who was sick and tired of his reputation for being so slow. He decided to get some fast wheels to make up the difference. After shopping around a while, he decided that the Datson 240-Z was the car to get. So the snail goes to the nearest Datsun dealer and says he wants to buy the 240-Z, but he wants it repainted "240-S".
The dealer asks, "Why 'S'?"
The snail replies, "'S' stands for snail. I want everybody who sees me roaring past to know who's driving."
Well, the dealer doesn't want to lose the unique opportunity to sell a car to a snail, so he agrees to have the car repainted for a small fee.
The snail gets his new car and spent the rest of his days roaring happily down the highway at top speed. And whenever anyone would see him zooming by, they'd say "Wow! Look at that S-car go!"

random act of kindess
OKay so we all know I'm a huge believer in karma and I have a semi interesting story about this. (I know how to grab an audience with 'semi interesting' haha but read on if you care :o)
In my quest to be a better person a few weeks ago I decided I should do a random act of kindness (ROAK) so I decided to pay for the car behind me at the toll booth (cliche I know).
So I hand the woman at the toll booth $5 and say can I please get $2.50 back and pay for the car behind me - she doesn't bat an eyelash or say anything and I think wow is she grouchy! Or maybe people do this all the time? Or maybe my act is truly lame? I mean I didn't expect her to praise or me anything but maybe a smile?
So I drive away with not even as much as a have a nice day from her. Traffic is backed up but not terrible so I try and peek in my rear view mirror to see if I can see a reaction from the car behind me. She is at the window for what seems like forever and I think, oh that grouchy lady pocketed the money! (full disclosure, yes I thought that mean thought) But there currently isn't a car behind her since most people have the ez pass, but then I think that doesn't mean she can't pay for the next car that comes through and I feel better. But not that good since I just internally accused toll booth woman of stealing. ROAK - Fail
HOWEVER here is the 'semi interesting part' a week or two later I get a free toll thanks to the Boston Symphony Orchestra in celebration of Tanglewood’s 75th Anniversary Season! In my crazy head all is right and I have a new outlook that there is hope and what you put out into the universe will come back to you!
P.S. Apologies for accusing you miss toll attendant I'm sure your job is mind-numbingly boring and maybe you just had a bad day.
I found the below online and it's a super cool idea and I want to do it for my birthday or maybe my birthday week since I'm old now and I do have a job so I'm not sure I can fit that many ROAK in one day:Fun ways to spend your birthday

For now the quest continues to become a better human...

confessions of a blonde
So I got a letter from the IRS the other day, I knew it was no good since it was about 1/2 an inch thick (never a good sign unless it's an acceptance letter of some sorts). I don't open it immediately as not to ruin my mood. When I finally open it I find out they are asking me for close to 2K from my 2010 tax return, awesome I know.
Side note yes I did go to business school but did very poorly in accounting, obviously.
Anyways I was looking high and low for my 2010 returns, I find 2003-2008 filed nicely in my 'tax folder' but 2009-2010 are nowhere to be found! Ugh another downfall to moving in with and then out with a boyfriend - shit gets lost!
So as I am telling my friend this she asks don't you have it saved on your computer...um...ohhhhhh right electronic files! Wow wish I thought of that before this happened:
D'oh!
Macro Photography is Super Cool
I'm in LOVE with macro photography and coincidentally I also love dragon flies!
Down in Mattapoisett there are so many dragon flies it's almost a swarm except it's not because that would be gross. Also they are HUGE, about as big as the humming birds!
I bought a bunch of matted macro bug photographs at the beacon hill art walk few years ago I think I have just the spot for them in my new apt!

Next 21 Day Workout Schedule
OKay this is going to be my new workout schedule for the next 21 days. Since I am now in my 30's I can no longer get away with not working out. Also I signed up for this 'Diva Dash' in Sept. it's a 5k obstacle course...to those in shape 3 miles might seem like a piece of cake, well I have just been eating cake and 1 mile is exhausting to think about let alone actually run!
So here it is I'm posting it online so I have some accountability!
This schedule is the 3 Weeks to a 30-Minute Running Habit along with my favorite BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) DVDs. I HATE running but I did the 3 Weeks to a 30-Minute Running Habit a couple of years ago and I actually didn't hate it so much, this program really eases you into running. If I still hate hate hate running after this I will have to find another form of cardio to do otherwise I will just be setting myself up for failure.
Wish me luck!!

wrong side of the bed
Normally
I am a glass half full kinda gal however lately I have been waking up
on the wrong side of the bed. These past few days I wake up moody,
normally I like to wait till someone pisses me off to get in a bad mood.
Not sure what is going on lately maybe it's lack of sleep, diet,
hormones? Who knows?!

Karen the Bus Monitor
Per the video below, this was such a heartbreaking story. But with a good ending.
They have raised close to $650K for her! Unbelievable!
I'm glad the words of some scummy teenagers are now being overpowered by all these kind people that are donating and sharing their sympathetic words. Let's hope they learned from this and grow up to become upstanding citizens.

Ode to Lonesome George
I'm
sad to say that Lonesome George has passed away he was the last of the
Pinta Tortoises and was estimated to be about 100 years old. I'm also
sad I never got a chance to see him! We all know the Galapagos Islands are my #1 place I want to visit.

In honor of Lonesome George I have found some good turtle fabric over at Fat Quarter Shop
