Happy Hump Day! Man was I scared last night! We had tornado watches from 6pm to 2 am and thunderstorm warning. I love a good storm as well as the next person but when they start talking twisters and straight line winds I get a little nervous. Thank God Im still here and I didnt have a wizard of oz experience but we really never know when we might be the ones on the news the morning after describing how a cow flew by the back door and landed in the swimming pool. I honestly cant imagine how terrifying that must be for people that actually experience a tornado. Its force is amazing and its path cant be predicted. Its just untamed power. Tina

Ive gotta to work one more week then Im off for 2 weeks. I have about 20 signs I have to paint and help my daughter get moved. The ice cream shop is currently a storage building for tires. It has to be completely remodeled and Im not sure what part Im playing in that. Its alot of work and weve moved the date of the grand opening because of that. I was hoping for Easter weekend but its looking more like May. Thats fine too because I think more families will be traveling closer to the summer. Ive found my ice cream supplier and I need to meet with them soon but I want to wait until the building looks more presentable. I dont think Im going to be able to afford to sell pizza just yet. Its a very expensive business to start and hopefully the ice cream will pay for it. I'll still work half days atthe drug store until this thing either takes off or bombs. Either way I need a lil safety net.
This is the first time in my life Ive actually taken a chance and done something Ive wanted to do. I guess like most people Im scared of failure but as I grow older and more wise I realize that you fail when you refuse to try. Fear is a powerful thing but this country was built on fighting fear and taking chances. Ive passed up so many things because it wasnt a "sure thing". Whos knows where I might have been right now? Im not complaining, I like where I am right now and Ill like where I am in 10 years. I dont believe in regrets. Timing is everything and I believe its time for me to put it all on the line.

Todays Topic: What was I thinking??

Last Friday I went to the tanning bed and bought a membership. I dont want to be dark or look like old leather but a lil color would be nice since shorts season is comming up. I got in for 6 minutes being it was my first time in years. I really didnt get anything so last night I went and I told the girl to make it a double. (Thats almost never a good phrase) I went in for 12 minutes and I am like a lobster. OUCH! I wish I could wear pajamas to work. What was I thinking??

I've got so much to write about that it seems to be a jumbled mess in my head. As I begin to organize my thoughts better I'll be able to post more and not seem like I'm babbling. Bare with me.
                    Todays topic: Gift or Curse?
I've noticed thus far in my life that I am very approachable. I dont know if I'm alone in this or if I just pick up on it more. Example: I've been in line at a store before and the person in front of me will go up to the checkout and the cashier will say, "How are you today?" and the customer says, "I'm fine thanks, and you?"... And life goes on...BUT When its my turn to repeat the same small talk it goes more like this....
     Cashier: How are you this evening?
     Me: I'm fine thanks. How are you?
     Cashier: You wouldnt believe me if I told you!
     Me: "giggle" Yeah lifes like that sometimes.
     Cashier: My husband got locked up last night. Came home drunk and started raising hell and wrecked the house! Girl, I told him, Nuh uh! Not me! I'm calling 911!
     Me: Wow (Blank stare)
     Cashier: Uh huh he's done this many times....
     Me: (Blank stare)

   Ok you get the picture. Does this happen to everyone or just me??? It happens ALL the time. I dont know if I have a friendly face or what but strangers feel the need to tell me the most personal details of their lives. I still havent learned how to react to this. After all, All I wanted was to pay for some shampoo and lip gloss...
