Some Hump Day Motivation

Today I went to lunch with my dad and what started as a simple lunch at DQ turned into some needed motivation for the rest of my day (and week).

We started talking about how working hard now really does set you up for a future of having the freedom to do what you want to do, and not just what you have to do.

This turned into my dad telling me some of the practices he has always and continues to follow. To start he has always worked hard at what he does, whether that be a job, a sport, anything. He is always nice to people. He starts out everyday by being positive. For example he told me that he had just filled up a coffee punch card from the gas station that was good for a free coffee. Instead of redeeming it himself he gave it to the girl working there so she could enjoy this. Random acts of kindness are such a great thing in my eyes and something I have tried to participate in on a regular basis in many ways.

It's so easy to get caught up in my own life that it is very refreshing to have an outside look at the bigger picture. To remember there is more out there than just me. It doesn't cost one cent to be a good human being and help others out along the way in this journey of life.

So here's to a great end of this wonderful Wednesday to be alive and a strong end to this work week.

Bingo!!!

When I first turned 18 I used to go to bingo. I could finally legally gamble and had been waiting to win some serious cash. So occasionally me and a friend or family would go somewhere to play it, like Big B Bingo. For awhile this turned into something fun to go check out on the regular. One day my mom and I went together. She was a little reluctant about going because she was more in the mood for having a good, rowdy time. I don't know if you've ever been to this venue but it is pretty much the exact opposite of "rowdy". I'll set the scene for you. The people there are very serious about their bingo and it is quiet enough that you could hear a pin drop. Oh well, we still decided to go just for a few rounds. My mom had a drink or two before knowing there wouldn't be alcohol there so our table was already a little bit louder than the rest. We finally got our boards and got a couple games in. All of sudden my mom was asking the person next to her if the patt...

Vegas: A Place For Fun & Meltdowns At Evil Dead

A couple years ago in Vegas one of the things I was really wanting to go see was the Evil Dead parody play because I had watched the movie recently and I love scary things. My mom being the good mom agreed to go with me (thank you mom). I wasn't 21 yet so we got in line quite a bit early since it was getting pretty late but my mom had a few beers before on the walk there. As the night went on the and the line got longer we weren't moving and it had been over an hour that we had been standing there waiting to get in. My mom was starting to get a bit impatient at this point. FINALLY a few of the actors came out to the line to start letting people in but first they decided to dance around some... I was looking at the different costumes, they were dressed like zombies and some of the guys were dressed like women when I hear a yell from a familiar voice "Let's get this show on the road!" I glared over at my mom who was the one yelling this! Now I'm getting nervous...

The Grandma Lyfe✌

I used to go out on the town allll the time. I got into the routine of loving the commotion that came with loud music and #shotsshotsshots as Lil Jon would say. I have many crazy stories that I can look back at, laugh out loud about (even if I'm laughing out loud by myself in public like a crazy person 😮) and usually think how equally ridiculous they were. 9 pm used to be the starting time for those crazy nights which by now very I will very likely be half asleep by. 😴 Over time those kinds of fun nights turn into a different, much more fun kind of night. "Netflix and Chillin' " with my bf, dinner and wine nights with my girl friends accompanied by long, meaningful conversations are the new norm. I still like the occasional wild night out or that fun night at a rock concert 🤘 although hanging out with dogs at home watching some reality tv has become much more of my reality 🐶. I think I am officially living the ...
