Taking care of yourself...

Today I went to this training related to my job and we discussed the importance of time and stress management.  Initially, I was preoccupied with how much time I felt I was wasting sitting in the classroom instead of at the office trying to catch up on my work.  Not to sound like an Alanis Morissette song but I realized my train of thought was pretty ironic and finally decided to pay attention.  By the end of the class, I was rather depressed because I realized how much I procrastinate.  This procrastination turns into stress because I end up bringing home my work to ensure my deadlines are met.  Then I realized how stressed my life had become and all the resulting consequences this stress is putting my mind, body and soul.  The next thought which popped into my mind was, "damn i need a new job".  During the drive home, I realized maybe the problem isn't the job.  Could it be I am the problem??  I think so (unfortunately).  I think about all the things I want and need to do but I keep putting off until tomorrow.  I need to get into a healthier lifestyle.  Extra pounds have built up over the years and my favorite line is, "I think I will start dieting tomorrow".  There is work piled up on my desk but talking with my friend across the hall about the recent episode of American Idol is more important.  I am always going to go to church next Sunday.  I'm going to call my dad tomorrow but not today.  Tomorrow I am going to sit down and actually use the Spanish edition of Rosetta Stone or maybe I can read the book I bought last month.  One day I am going to tell everyone I am close to how much they mean to me and how much I love them.  I probably talk to my mom 5-6 times a day but how much of the conversations are meaningful.  Does my husband know how much I love him or how proud I am to be his wife?  What if there is no tomorrow?  I want to live for today and not tomorrow.  If anyone has any ideas how to do that please let me know.  Deep thoughts tonight before I get ready for bed.  Maybe this will make someone else realize tomorrow isn't the solution. 

My First Post :)

So I am not really sure if there are any rules to blogging but I think I am just going to wing it.  My blog is going to revolve around my daily life which may range from totally boring to pretty interesting.  I have always enjoyed the idea of writing but never given it much serious thought.  To be completely honest, I got the idea to start a blog on tonight's episode of House.  One tidbit of my life you can learn tonight is I completely love and adore Hugh Laurie or more accurately I should say I love the character Hugh Laurie plays on House.  So anyway one of House's patients was obsessed with blogging and tried to be completely stripped down and honest on her blog.  This idea was intriguing and I knew I had to give it a shot.  There are conversations which go unspoken because of the fear of blatant honesty and I hope to share these conversations with my readers (even if there is only one or two of you out there).  There are times when I feel I cannot say what I want to say in fear of hurting another and at least on here I can express myself fully without any fear of repercussions.  I plan to keep this blog a secret from my family and friends so no one close to me will ever read these words unless it is by my choice.  The mere thought seems exhilarating!  Well I do have a long day ahead of me tomorrow so it is best if I get some sleep.  I cannot wait to post again though!  One more thing before I climb in bed, Hugh Laurie if you are out there reading this one day please know how incredibly sexy you are :)  Too bad my husband swept me off my feet before we could meet!!
