"Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets." -Arthur Miller

I have a crazy job...I ever wonder if I will regret it. But funny things happen to me at my job...like my nine year old kid was talking to a cop at McDonalds about what he needed to do to become a cop and guess who that cop happened to be? The Wauwatosa police that asked me to testify for him against the man who hit me with the BMW...small world.

I only hope I end up with the right regrets in life. Like, choosing to go to Marquette, was a (god forbid) last minute decision. I was going to go to (OH no she wouldnt!)UWM but I had a last minute tour (thanks to my elementary school friends' dad who had some pull at the university). BUT, if I had went to UWM would I have regretted it? Or would I have come the out of there with a solid group of friends that my other friends around Milwaukee seem to have that I'm not sure I do have from college. Now, that's not to say my friends from college are not great...because they are (you girls know who you are)...but I have always felt as though I did not quite fit in. Like, I wasn't the same...maybe it's cuz I grew up in the middle of corn fields driving dirt bikes, snowmobiles, and four wheelers for fun and they grew up riding bicycles down the neighborhood cul de sacs in the suburb of Chicagos. This is isn't bad...just different. Or maybe its because I ditched them for two years in college for a boyfriend...that could be it. Whatever the reason...we have regrets right? But we do things for a reason at the time, I wonder if at the end of the day we are satisfied with that decision?

I am a hasty person. I make rash decisons. I have slight ADHD. I can't sit still..and I hate being bored. On the flip side, I'm always afraid of making the wrong decision or doing or saying something the other person will not want me to do or say. I've learned this can be detrimental at work, in friendships, or in personal relationships. Be yourself. That's the only thing you can do to ensure that life goes the way it is supposed to. Don't pretend.

Humor is just another defense against the universe. - Mel Brooks

Right? I think we all use humor as a defense mechanism. I know I do..maybe a bit too much..but hey whose judging? If i'm nervous...I make a joke..people laugh. I feel better. When I'm uncomfortable or angry...I use humorous sarcasm...it seems to work.

And always remember....
