Procrastinator

Yup, that's me! I am sooo horrible, and I've been this way as long as I can remember. I have a special account with work that I get "Profession Development" money, and the cut off for last year's fund was March 30th. The bonus is that you have until May 30th to submit the paperwork. Guess who hasn't done it yet...on May 28th??? Yup, that's me! Guess what I am doing on my lunch hour? Driving all around the city getting forms signed and delivered to the correct location - yup, that's me!!!

Was I just a sucker?

Last night I stopped at Safeway on my way home for a quick grab of a few items. This lady stopped me in the parking lot...and I heard the sob story. Left a bad relationship, 3 kids, no food, would pay me back next week.....I told her sorry, I didn't have any cash, said I felt bad for her - then went in to get my items. I couldn't stop thinking of her while I was in the store, wondered if that were me and I was down on my luck, would someone help me out?

I grabbed a Safeway gift card and put $20 on it. Then when leaving the store, I found her again in the parking lot and gave it to her. She thanked me and wanted the chance to pay me back. I simply told her to help someone else out when she's back on her feet.

After I left I wondered, was I taken for? Or did I genuinely help this lady out. Guess I'll never know.

It's official....I'm a soccer MOM!!!

Minus the minivan of course! Today was Paige's first ever soccer practice/game, and it was so adorable. It was a mixture of chaos, tears and sheer happiness! Paige was one of the remaining 6 players from 13 who finished the game.

Here she is at the beginning doing some drills.


She makes a big break.....


AND SCORES!!!! (Don't tell her the other kids were "busy" behind her sipping juice boxes and getting strange kids off the field! She was sooo proud of herself!)
