Vacation!
Yep. Off today and Monday. Ran lots of errands with my sweet Prince Charming today. It was nice to spend all day together.

Also got to go outside and catch some sun to reduce the florescent glare that I omit. One of the neighbors had their blinds open on their window that overlooks my backyard...but it's MY yard and not my problem if they look into it.

No vacation for me today.
Big, important project didn't get finished = No vacation for Cindy

I could gripe about my boss and what a PITA he is.
I could beat myself up because I did not get out of bed at 5:30 this morning to run/walk.
I could hate myself because I am having a Starbucks for lunch and I had pork roast for breakfast.
But, I choose to look on the bright side. Because the only thing we really have control over in life is how we choose to respond to what happens to us.
I went and voted today. It only took about 10 minutes to get through the line, vote a strai...
