2 1/2 Weeks A Retrospect

Wow, I've been such a bad blogger. Have you ever been too tired to post? Well I'm blaming anemia. Of all of the exciting things I have done in the past few weeks one of them is being diagnosed as anemic.

Well, since I was too lazy to post for a few weeks I thought I would fill you in on my exciting life as seen by the camera on my phone. Here's what I have been up to and not necessarily in this order.

Attended an insurance seminar in Scottsdale. First night, happy hour mixer under the lights.

Breaking out for rabid discussions about the state of health insurance in the USA.

This was actually a very fun well run seminar.

Hung out with some cowboys on an excursion sponsored by the seminar.

More cowboys at a fun cowboy supper.

Lovin' it. Steak, Chicken & Arizona Strawberries (beans ya'll)
As my Grandpa used to say.... beans beans the magical fruit. The more you eat the more you toot. I wonder if that's where the expression rootin' tootin' cowboy comes from.

Cowboy bar. Hell yeah!

Drove a fellow seminar attendee to a high spot for a photo op. This is near Camelback mountain looking out towards central Phoenix.

Grocery shopping at Fry's marketplace. Saw this sign. Thought about buying it because my inlaws are visiting for Christmas. Still pinching pennies. Didn't buy it.

I may have to draw it in crayon and hang it in their room. I'M ON A BUDGET YA'LL!

OK. That's two ya'lls in one blog. Must stop now. Let's get classy now with some purse shopping.

OK. I'M ON A BUDGET! Didn't buy. Just caressed a little bit.

Cool imports shop on Indian School Rd in Phoenix. They used to sell furniture but it looks like they are getting heavy into purses and jewelry. Sweet.

A bunch of us went to lunch at Pro's Ranch Market in Phoenix off 16th street. What a hoot. A little stressfull because there is so much going on there. Once you get your food it is cool though.

Yum.

OK, This week also included other things that I have no photos of. Me delivering meat products to my co-workers. Me going hormonal at work. Me taking a thousand multivitamins a day to help combat my anemia..... more on that later.

I hope you enjoyed my retrospect. I'll try and be a better blogger.... and a better person - God willing.

Let's Hug it Out

Drama at the office this week has me analyzing myself and the people I work with. If you are like me and work in an office full of complicated people maybe the following prayer/mantra will help you too.

Words to Live By..

People are often unreasonable & self-centered.

Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives.

Be kind anyway.

If you are honest, people may cheat you.

Be honest anyway.

If you find happiness, people may be jealous.

Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, may be forgotten tomorrow.

Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough.

Give your best anyway.

For you see, in the end, it is between you and God.

It never was between, You and Them anyway.

Mother Teresa

Inglourious Basterds - Hell Yeah

The hubby and I went to an early showing of Inglourious Basterds today. It was very good. I love Tarantino and we own most of his movies. I had heard mixed reviews but if you are a fan then you will not be disappointed.

It's a world war 2 movie that would have been a perfect ending to world war 2.

Brad Pitt played a great character and I particularly enjoyed hearing him speak Italian.

Loved it!

3 Day Weekend!

I have no rockin' plans. I might get crazy, drink a glass of wine and read a book. Yee Haw!

Hump Day

I took a drive this week to visit my cousin in Prescott AZ. Here are a few photos around Prescott. I have a few more that I will post later this week when I have more time.

Lately it seems as if all I do is work. I need to have a little more fun. I hope to do a little more Arizona exploring once the weather cools down a bit. I'm thinking a little hiking might do me good. God knows I could use some exercise.

I'm trying to eat a bit healthier and have been adding more fish to my diet. I know I am not eating enough veggies and need to eliminate processed foods. These are things I have known all along but I think I am due for a change and need to get healthier. - Go me!

I'll try not to bore you with too many of the details or have posts that talk about what I ate today unless it's just too compelling not to share :)

Happy Hump Day!
