Lemonade and More.....

Do you ever feel like you are losing your mind? Like today is the day I am going crazy? Well today is that day for me. I think I am officially losing it! I was mad as hell this morning because I couldn't find brown socks. Brown socks!? Then I cried uncontrollably all the way to work and the first hour I was at work. Is it hormones? - Yes Is it stress? - yes.....But it is not just one thing, it is everything adding up at one time.... Everything is getting to me.

You know that saying - "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade". What happens when you don't know how to make lemonade?

The only thing that made me stop crying this morning was the potential security threat to Port Fourchon that I had to quickly respond to from a PR standpoint. Well, the good news is that it looks like the security threat may have been a false alarm. Maybe my potential nervous breakdown will also turn into a false alarm.

By the way - I would rather be scrapbooking today!!!

Till next time.....just another day in Paula's Shoes

Tired . . .

Is there ever enough time in the day to get everything done? Maybe it is because it is nearing Christmas or maybe it is because it gets darker sooner these days, but there seems to never be enough time in the day to get everything done. Work is slowing down the sooner it gets to Christmas, but personal errands, Christmas shopping and of course my crazy need to scrapbook is taking over. But you know what, some days, I just want to go home and do nothing. No folding clothes, no errands, no answering the cell phone, some days no stamping - some days I just want to spend a day in my pajamas doing NOTHING. I believe that today is one of those days and I think I will plan to do nothing all night tonight.

Here's to another day in Paula's Shoes . . .

Blog Addict

Ok, now that Michelle got me started with all of this blogging stuff...i am not only a scrapbooking addict, but i love to blog too! (thanks Michelle for sharing both of your addictions with me!) Speaking of scrapbooking addict - I had a meeting for work today in Baton Rouge so after my meeting I met Deanna for an afternoon shopping excursion to HOBBY LOBBY!! We had a blast!! Ok, I know i am a self proclaimed scrapaholic, but I have never been to Hobby Lobby. Well virgin i am no longer! I went crazy over the rub ons, raw chipboard, and brads. I also finally bought not one, but two bags of the Bag O' Buttons that Kelly always uses. I can't wait to use all of my new stuff! I will try to take a night this week to scrapbook. I am upset that I won't be able to make the crop night at the Scrap Boutique on Saturday, but I will be spending the weekend in New Orleans at the Hornet's game in the Chett Morrison suite I might add and at the Saints game!! I am looking forward to some much needed stress release weekend with my hubby and a few good friends....did i mention there will be lots of drinks too? That will definitely help relieve the stress also!!

Oh by the way, I may have scared my friends away with my last blog...HA I have gotten a few calls from family and friends making sure I am still alive and haven't killed anyone. HA

Till next time..... It's just Another day in Paula's Shoes......

My first post!!

I am new to this blog thing so bear with me. I visit blogs all the time and throughly enjoy reading them, but never posted one of my own so I thought...what the hell, I will give this a try. So with the encouragement of my friend Michelle, here I am with my own blog!!

A little ranting for now....
Why the hell do people say, "if it is meant to be, it will be" or "when the time is right it will happen"!! I personally have heard this way too many times recently. What exactly does this mean? I think it is what people say when they don't know what else to say. I think it makes people feel better to say it so they feel like they are helping you through your situation. I would much rather them say - "that frickin' sucks". Or my opther favorite comments are "It's just a test. He wouldn't give you these things if he didn't think you could handle them". Well dammit, I can't handle it, I don't want to handle it ....I give up!!! So many people have said this to me recently that I just want to strangle someone....does this sound like the rantings of a woman that can handle it....so what you are telling me is that if I don't handle things so well, then I can have an easier life?! Well I quit! I quit handling things. Will someone else take over? There is only so much one person can take.

Whew....I think I will like this blog thing! It is kinda like seeing a counselor. It helps to get all of the crap you keep to yourself out! So since it is cheaper to blog that pay for a shrink....Here's to you for listening to my crap...HA

By the way - If you haven't tried it - SCRAPBOOK - It is cheaper that therapy and it takes your mind off of life in general. Maybe I will have to take some time to scrapbook this week.

Sorry for the ranting- here's to another day in Paula's Shoes.....
