This isn't an everyday thing

Why Hello there. Yes you. You sitting there reading about my semi-interesting life. Whether you care or not I am now going to tell you about my day. (Please don't expect a Blog every night, this isn't an everyday thing)Please see the crappy things and the great things. (Warning you now, there's a pretty big list)

Let's start with the negatives since I am still in a cranky mood.

Josie's Shit List
  • People really don't understand how much we do. They say they do, but they really don't.
  • Trying to come off of happy pills is not easy. At all. Someone could poke me and I would cry. Silly things set me off. The littlest things set me off. People set me off. Annoying children set me off. I want to punch something/someone. R.F.N...
  • My fiance is more moody than me. Is man-o-pause a thing? If it isn't, it should be. Don't tell me to communicate with you when I am upset, and then be all short with me and give me the silent treatment when you're pissy. Don't tell me not to stomp around and slam things when I am angry, yet you sound like a freaking elephant around the house. Do not expect me to stay on the phone with you if you are snippy on the phone and said there was no reason you called. Do not be a damn hypocrite when your panties are up in a bunch. ( I also dislike the word Panties) And hells yes I hope he reads this. Since you wont listen to me maybe reading this will get it into your thick skull. I love you but come on dude. Stop.
  • Three Words. Women's Steel Toes. C'mon people just cause we work in warehouse's does NOT mean we don't have style or some sense of fashion. The GUYS have cooler shoes than we do. Possible sales opportunity? I could be rich. Psh yah right.
Man, I sure feel like a negative nancy. I'm going to stop while I'm ahead. Moving on.

Josie's IT List
  • This is my FIRST WEEKEND OFF IN like 3 MONTHS! (Applause) No colorguard rehearsal. No competitions. No board meetings. No commitments (as of yet). No OT at MRC. Nothing. I can sleep in and do whatever I want. (Cleaning will be in there somewhere obvs)
  • I finally have found my bridesmaids shoes! In flats and heels I might add! Bright Coral Pink and affordable!  I will post some photos later!
  • Went to the BOSE store. While in Calgary our wall adapter to charge and power our music player had disappeared. I walk in asking how much a replacement would cost. This awesome worker named Matt says Ill go check if we have any returns in the back with one we can sell you. A few moments later he walks out with a freshly wrapped charger/cord! Good thing I can buy it separately!! (wait for it ...) not only could I get it separately .. he gave it to me... for FREE. That's right. Free. Just handed it over and said here you go, have a good day! So if Matt from the West Edmonton Mall BOSE store reads this - THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, YOU'RE A LIFE SAVER & I TOTALLY OWE YOU ONE <3 )
  • I got to see my baby brother from another mother (literally) Issiah. He's always awesome to hang out with. I miss that kid and wish I could see him more often.
There are more good and bad things but I mean, you really don't need to know about some of that crap. I'm sure you didn't need to know about what I just typed out. But if you're still reading. Kudos. I appreciate your commitment to this blog. 

I still have to post about my girls I teach but yet again I am tired. (another negative, I'm always tired) BUT since I have NoOoOOoOoo plans tomorrow, I'm sure I can work something in! This is Josie signing off for the night. Goodnight world. I bid thee farewell.

Be Grateful for what you get...blah..blah..blah..

(Before reading this please understand I am ranting and it is not in any specific order, and is also why I suck at writing essays)


RANT #1 TOPIC -  Being an adult sometimes really sucks
You have bills coming out of your ying-yang. Owning a house is a lot of work. Weddings are expensive. Working two jobs to pay bills is stressful. Always cleaning. I don't even have kids yet!!! I am sure whomever is reading this is most likely an adult, and knows all of this crap already.

RANT #2 TOPIC - Growing up spoiled screws you in the long run

Some may say I'm a greedy old bag, spoiled, Prima Donna, self centered, a princess, vain, etc .. and yes this is occasionally true. For the record this is not something I am proud of. At all. I expect way too much. I'm lazy. I'm always tired. I make excuses.  I guess growing up as an only child could have been a factor in the matter. Everyone in my family was divorced and remarried when I was young. This gave me DOUBLE the family members which in turn gave me double the amount of gifts, cash, treats, every Birthday/Christmas/Easter/etc. (Yes I realize that sentence was confusing and did not make much sense) You get the point.

So... I've started to work a bit harder in life at somethings. At least I think I do. You feel like you put a damn good amount of effort into what you're doing, but others don't seem to see that.

I then realize that.. maybe I think I am putting in all this effort and energy into something but I'm really not. I am probably so used to having everything done or handed to me that an average amount of effort to someone is a large amount of effort to me!

Holy shit, I'm figuring things out as I blog. (This blogging thing is Genius) 
I guess I will have to try and see through other peoples eyes and really 'look' at myself. I was told today be grateful for what you have. Be grateful for what you receive as some people aren't even getting what you're getting.  At least I can admit to myself I'm selfish. If anyone knows a way to fix this flaw please let me know,

I also realllyyyy wanted to post about my colorguard girls and how well they did this season. However I am super tired and need to get some sleep. BUT I think I'll give you a title.. or at least some options.

Wait for it . . .

SO LONG. FAREWELL. ADIEU.

To whom it may concern;

Good Evening Ladies and Gents.

If you are looking for a good read tonight then please continue reading. Just kidding... This is more or less about my crazy life and the things I do in it, so as the blog states; Stop while you're ahead. (It also bothers me that I can't use punctuation in the blog name. i.e. You're) There were many names I considered prior to creating this blog which have already been taken or were slightly inappropriate. See the following:
    • The Modern Grown Up ( I then realised I am no where near being a grown up)
    • beYOUtiful (I actually look a hell-of-a-lot better with makeup on)
    • Shmoopy (Just kidding, this was Julies idea )
    • Most Likley Boring (.. My life is quite eventful actually)
    • Josie is Awesome ( Already taken.. of course)
    • Josie's Pearl Necklace (Again...Julies Idea)
 In case you're still reading I'll give you a rundown of what my life/blogs will be about. See the following: 

#1. My AWESOME dog Penny

#2. My Full-Time 2nd Job & Hobby - Colorguard/Marching Band

 #3. The semi-interesting love of my life 

... There will probably be a heck of a lot more I will be blogging about, however I am tired I need to shower... because If I don't I'll start smelling my own armpits like Julie. I can't say I like the smell of them.. it just intrigues me. Ok enough of me. Goodnight world wide web.
