My Treasures
It was an interesting weekend in the world of NFL. The Chargers beat the Broncos, Kansas City beat Oakland, and the Niners beat the Seahawks. The biggest disappointment for me, comes from the Cowboys.
We all knew that the Colts’ undefeated status was going to be wiped out sooner or later. I had accepted the Chargers handing us that loss last year. But for it to come from the Cowboys this year was heartbreaking for me!
This post, and the below bit, will be of no value to most of you.. but for the ’some’ of you who will appreciate the value of this, voila - for your viewing pleasure:
Joe Montana signed Jersey. I got this as a gift during December of 1997. I had thought this was the best gift ever.. That is, until I got the following:
A personalized/signed Montana football. My name was written on the left side, but I photoshopped it out for blogging purposes. I received this football as a birthday gift, June 4, 1998.

Glutton for Punishment
Thoughts of you have been floating around in my head. The funny thing is, I recall the last time I saw you.. the last time I spent time with you. It was so frustrating. You drove me crazy.I kept thinking to myself “what did I do to get myself in this mess?” You annoyed me so much, all I could think of was trying to get away from you. I couldn’t believe that I had been counting the minutes to see you, only to find out what a big mistake it was to be around you. You made me miserable.
So explain this to me. Why is it that now I stare at my phone, hoping that you would contact me again? Why is it that I miss you so much?

Enough Already!
I started work again on Sunday after being off for 2 weeks. It’s been hectic since.This was the first vacation I take and actually stay in Bahrain as opposed to travel. It’s amazing what I’ve discovered. There are SO many hours in the day to do SO many things! I used to get up, run errands, pamper myself, meet up with friends.. and then when it felt like it was getting late, I’d look at the time and realize that people were STILL at work! It shocked me.
It was such a wake up call! I don’t want to waste my life at the office or with work. It’s not worth it that work gets thebetter part of me and my life/time!
Don’t get me wrong, I’m an ambitious person, always got good grades in school/college, career oriented, etc. You know what that translates into in my head now? “blah blah blah”
Who cares what GPA I graduated with? Ok, it got me the job. Now what? Ok, so I got the title? And then? While all those things were important to get me where I am today, it’s time for me to make a turn in my life and re-focus on other more important things.
I think a lot of us get caught up in our careers and in proving ourselves, that we sometimes don’t realize that once we’ve accomplished that, it’s time to reap the rewards.. it’s time to LIVE our lives.
