My five LEAST favorite phrases....

Everybody has them. Things you absolutely hate hearing. Mine may not so much be "phrases" as they are words that I feel people over use.

1. "I'm sorry"- to me sorry is THE most over used word in the English language. People seem to use it today as a statement of dismissal as in "I don't really care but I'm going to tell you I'm sorry because that seems like the thing to do." Me personally, just don't say anything.

2. "That sucks"- Generally, when someone is telling you something that has happened to them and it sounds pretty awful or uncomfortable chances are they already know it sucks. It may be best to not remind them.

3. "I would if I could..."- I'm sometimes guilty of this one but I will own it. Most of the time I try not to say it because honestly if you can't help in any way then don't bother saying that. Give the reason you can't help, maybe offer some suggestions then move on.

4. "Maybe"- I think everyone still finds this one slightly annoying going way back to our childhoods.

5. and finally- "Easy, peasy"- simply because I hate it!! (Mimi will now be sure to use it 10 times as much simply because I can't stand it. lol)

Bed knobs, broom handles, and mop buckets!

Dear Steve,

Please make sure you empty the mop bucket when you are finished with it. kthx!
(Hey you asked for a new blog buddy so I decided to make it purposeful) lmao!!!

"Took a sip of something poison but I'll hold on tight.."

I know I tend to be wordy, even a bit melodramatic so I will cut to the chase with this one.....
If your true friends and people who truly care about you can't love you, faults and all, then they aren't worth bothering over themselves.
Truth is, we all have a little venom in our hearts it's what a lot of people call hate, anger, and fear. (I just prefer the word venom.) That will never change, it's the nature of the beast called humanity. And it's just like your mother told you when you were younger, when they let it seep out onto others it's usually because they themselves are angry. Don't sip the poison!!!
Don't believe the venom that seeps from others. Believe those who deal with you everyday. Those who do not lie to you. Those who see the effort you make and return the gesture. Those who will be honest because they care and not just hurtful because it's easier. Those that say "talk to me" and don't back away when you do. Those who will be there for you (even at important times in their life) just as you have done for them. Those that will make an effort to trust you (even if it's hard for them)because you have trusted IN them.
Invest in those who invest in you!!!
Don't sip the poison!
