Life is a book

I’m here in Costa Rica working…this country is really very beautiful. I’m actually ready to go home, as I feel like I have been gone forever and I miss my bed..and my books.

More later.

Someone sent me this in one of my yahoo groups (Christine Warren who totally ROCKS!) and realized this was so me (and some others) so I’m posting here.

BITCHOLOGY

When I stand up for myself and my beliefs, they call me a bitch.
When I stand up for those I love, they call me a bitch.

When I speak my mind, think my own thoughts or do things my own way, they call me a bitch.
Being a bitch means I won’t compromise what’s in my heart.

It means I live my life MY way. It means I won’t allow anyone to step on me…It means I have the courage and strength to allow myself to be who I truly am and won’t become anyone else’s idea of what they think I should’ be.

I am outspoken, opinionated and determined.

I want what I want and there is nothing wrong with that!

So try to stomp on me, try to douse my inner flame,try to squash every ounce of beauty I hold within me.

You won’t succeed.

And if that makes me a bitch, SO BE IT. I embrace the title and am proud to bear it.

Well, I’m back in India again. I really enjoy my trips and I work with some really great people.

However, I sometimes feel like such a jerky American traveling abroad. I haggle over 25 cents with people and realize that buys a meal…

The thing is though people around here do not feel sorry for themselves or decry their position. They all seem friendly (I know, I’m not that naive)…

Well, I’m staying at a resort (http://www.istahotels.com/istahyderabad/). It’s great…except no one will speak to me..they speak to the guy I’m traveling with. That is uber annoying.

Oh well…off to work more. You can also find me on twitter at

Why is it when you try and do things the right way it seems as if you are continually frustrated, but someone who screws over other people seem to get accolades? What the fuck is that all about?

I have decided I really like these two songs:

Pain by 3 days grace…Has anyone ever really listened to it?

Shattered by O.A.R. Yes, not my typical fare, but who cares.

Today I am also dressed like I live in the gulag for real, not just work. Just in case you aren’t sure what that looks like, here it is:

Well, today is the 1st day of the last month of the year. This year has had ups and downs, and I’m ready for something different.

It is also World AIDS day in case you didn’t know…now you do. Visit here for more info:

I just started looking around unknown authors, and I found this great one. Her name is Paige McKellen and here is her site: paigemckellan.com . She is published by Samhain Publishing.

Check her out. I’ll check in later.

I have been thinking about making some significant changes in my life, but I am always stopped by the age old will vs. desire problem. While these changes would benefit me, sometimes I think I am just waiting for things to change magically…which probably won’t ever happen for me.. As I contemplate the story of my life, I’m stealing a quote from someone in one of my book groups: Live your life in such a way that when your feet hit the floor in the morning, Satan shudders & says…”Oh shit….she’s awake!!’

We shall see…

I have been sick all week, and pretty much have slept all week.
However, I have been uber frustrated , but of course, no one gives a flying crap. What is more, the more I push, the more people just piss me off…

Oh well…Enjoy what your life could be if you lived in the Soviet Union

Worked to death

I found this place that has tickers..how cool is this?

Alright, I just did 30 minutes of cardio and BodyFlow class. The cardio was not so bad, but the yoga/pilates/tai chi class kicked my ass.

Anyway, now I’m cold and just sitting here watching TV. I’m also tired, so I might want to take a nap, but it is 4pm…that would be a bad idea.
