A semi week in review

Thursday was Valentines Day. We had a party at work and you would have thought we were a bunch of school kids instead. We made our own boxes and gave each one a Valentine and had a party. Most of us gave the same Valentines as the school kids do. Those are the cutest ones. We had word search, mazes etc. to do throughout the day. Needless to say, not much work got done. I bought my neices and nephews heart shaped pizzas and they LOVED them. Texted messaged, emailed or posted a Valentines Day message to all my friends. It's funny that this day is set aside for couples but so many people let friends know how much they are loved as well.
A friend of mine asked me to look up some information for him and I got everything put together and presented to him in less than a week. I was very proud of myself and think I may have given him more than he thought I was going to find out. HAHA
My boss told me she wished I was as enthused about work as I am Sawyer Brown, The Haygoods, Patriot Guard Riders, MarineMoms, etc. I told her my work is my job and I enjoy doing it. But, the others are my passions and they deserve my attention just as much.
You have to work to pay bills and do the things you want in life. I just wish I could combine both. I know what I want to do and would be REALLY GOOD at it. I just have to find a way to get a chance to prove it. :) I have been praying alot for the direction my life should turn. i just pray God on I have the same road plan.
I have a 'date' tonight. My brother in law is taking my sister, Mom and I out for a belated Valentines day. We are getting along alot better than we used to. Which is a good thing for the kids. Hate it when parents or even family fight and the kids see it. Not physical fights but enough to put a damper on family gatherings. hahaha
Haygoods chat room in down again so we can't talk with each other. We have tried IM and it works pretty good but the chat is more our speed. lol
A former student at Northern Illinois University killed five people and himself. They said he was off his medications a few weeks. Then everyone starts yelling about banning guns or stricter laws. Why can't we just inforce the laws we have. I believe if we had more states with the concealed gun law we would be safer. It is proven that the states with this law have less crime. Would you want to take the change that the clerk your are robbing, or the customer behind you would blow your head off if you pulled out a gun. Or that the teacher, principal or other student would take you out before you could harm anyone else. I honestly believe in the Second Amendment. I have worked with people on bipolar or other drugs and know how they are when they do not take them. But, we can't continue to blame the weapons. It would be like saying we can't blame the drunk driver because the CAR killed the person. Personal responsibility has to be understood and put into perspective.
Sorry to go off but it was really bothering me this week with all the other shootings that occured.
