Hmmm...that would be a ..NO?
Ever had someone start out a conversation with "Can we talk?" and the first thing that comes to your mind is, "OH crap!" Ya, me too. Hate it when that happens.
As you're listening to the person begin their conversation, your mind wanders off to all the possibilities of what "could be wrong." You're so wrapped up in your personal mind conversation that you aren't even listening to them speak...that is, until you hear the words, "so you're ok with it then?"
Ya....that would be "Oh crap" moment #2.
What do you say. Yes? without being totally aware of what you are agreeing to? I urge you to rethinkg your strategy!
I mean, seriously! You could've just agreed to donate your left kidney to someone's Uncle Bob who smokes three paks of cigs a day, has three teeth in his mouth (and two of them are crooked), and can't see his feet cuz his tummy hangs to his knees.
Well if ain't "Yes"...then ...No?
They got you here! If you say "No", then you'd best be ready to back up the reasons for you saying to " No" to whatever they were proposing. This could be very, VERY bad.
, "I'll think about it and get back to you tomorrow." might just work. That's always an ace in the hole...UNTIL... they say, "sure, but don't take too long, it's urgent that I have your answer asap."
They got you! Now what do you do? Ask them, "soooo exactly what were you talking about again?" Like that will get you brownie points! Smooth move Einstein!
No the best way to handle this is to simple go lay under your desk, cover up with a blanket and suck your thumb praying that the other person develops a fast moving case of amnesia or gets hit by a truck!
And have a nice day!

Football.
Can we take a few moments to discuss....football?
It's become a serious problem for me. I think I need to find me a twelve-step program to overcome my frustration and anger when it comes to the game.
I mean...really!....I'm a pretty calm, cool, collected person. I am...99.9 % of the time. Except on Sundays! Well..OK..weekends in general...cuz college football is driving me crazy too!
Let's get things rolling with the Vikings, shall we?
Let's see....three games played, three games they were ahead in the first half and three games they lost it in the second half.
Now, I can't help but wonder that if anyone...and I mean anyone... on that team felt that the second half was just as important as the first half...that maybe, just MAYBE the Vikings would be 3-0 rather than 0-3. I'm getting a little verklempt here so I best move on or I'm gonna have a stroke.
Now...on to college football. My beloved Jimmies (yes Casey, that means you!) WON yesterday! Yaay!!!! Jimmies are now 1-2. Not a stellar record but hey, a win is a win! And Casey, you're off the hook. Our training session will be all about me now rather than me giving you a pep talk on the finer points of this football game. :) Aren't you happy now?!
Half of ND was glued to the TV watching the NDSU Bison trample the University of Minnesota yesterday. I have ties to both schools so it was hard for me to cheer one team over the other...but let's just say this. GO North Dakota!! ~L~
That's it. I'm done with football! (Until NEXT weekend!) :)

Brrrrrrr....
What happened to all the sunshine and warm temperatures?? I know the Autumn equinox is a few days away. I shouldn't be all that surprised that the weather is taking a turn for the ugly side. I can, however, wish for a reprieve and a return of warm(er) weather and sunshine. Can't I? :)
I received an email from a friend on my birthday stating that they keep up on what's going on with me through my blog. I realized that..hmmm...perhaps I need to do more posting on my blog. It's been hard with my schedule coupled with the nice weather. But now that it's dark earlier and I'm forced indoors, I'm hoping to be more present in both of my blogs. (Keeping fingers crossed).
So, what's new with me?? Well, as you probably read in earlier posts, I turned 49 on September 9th. Do I feel 49? Heck no! Do I act 49? Heck no! Do I look 49? I'm trying like hell not to! ~L~ I've said it before and I'll say it again, "Age is just a number!" That's my story and I'm sticking to it! :)
I had a lovely birthday celebration that lasted pretty much all weekend. (LOVE it when that happens!)
Friday, my birthday, my sister Peg, my hubster, brother Terry (his birthday was on the 8th), his wife Marna, her sister Donelle, and my other main man, Blaine had dinner at IDK and had the best German pizza ever. Of course, we had beers! Saturday I went to the Jimmie's Football game to watch Casey (my trainer) do his thing as star receiver for the Jimmies. He fumbled his first catch (hehehe). I later told him that it was ok..but we were going to have to work on his game a little bit more if he was going to continue to be my trainer. Ya, me and my big mouth! He got even with me on our next training session. C-Shift of JRCC recruited me to be on their flag football team, so following the Jimmie's game, I hightailed it over to the ball diamonds, strapped on the pretty green flags and proceeded to play football JRCC style. There was no shortage of "Sherry, stand there." and "Sheeerrryy..stand over THERE!" comments most of the game. It worked. I didn't get hit and I didn't break any bones..my two major goals for the game! ~LOL~ Then, off to Traxx to meet up with friends from work and my C-Shift teammates. A good time was had by all...right down to the shift singing Happy Birthday to me. It was a great night spent with wonderful friends.
Other than that, my life is going pretty good. I'm undertaking a few projects that are going to keep me busier than normal. I'm up for the challenge though. One is for a cause near and dear to my heart, Special Olympics. (more on that in future posts).
I found this quote that I wanted to share with you too. It pretty much describes how I feel about living life.
As you grow older, you'll find the only things you regret are the things you didn't do. ~Zachary Scott
Thats it...a quick but fairly accurate update of my life according to Sherry.
Namaste'

Its the new 29!
I turned 49 yesterday. Uh-huh. Staring 50 square in the eyes. But you know what? I'm not really all that concerned. I've decided that 49 is the new 29!
Why not??!! Age is just a number anyways.
I mean...really! I feel like I'm 35,been told I look like I'm 39 and I act young for my age. I refuse to grow old just because the calendar says I should. I'll be old when I FEEL old. Know what I mean??
So ya, I turned 49. Big deal! It's just a number to me. What counts is how I feel.
And I feel freakin fantastic!!
Sherry
PS: If I play my cards right, this birthday thing can last ALL weekend long! Happy Birthday to Me! ~LOL~

Tunes to Rock Out
We all have them.... those certain songs that get is in the mood to rock out. I was cruising Itunes and YouTube last night and found "Sweet Child Of Mine" by Guns -N-Roses. Yep! There I was at midnight jamming out to the song with my headphones on. I was tempted to sing it like I was a rock star but figured better not at that time of the night...hubs would NOT have appreciated it.
Now, I know I'm going to date myself a little bit here...but they just DO NOT make music like that anymore! I mean..c'mon...really? Justin Beieber?? That's bubblegum chewing rock music. I'm talking REAL rock music like Led Zepplin, ZZ Top, ELO, Bachman Turner Overdrive, Foghat AC/DC, JOURNEY (my all time favorite, if you didn't already know it!), Aeroesmith, The Stones. THAT"S what I'm talking about!! Something you can get you groove on with. I can't really do that to Justin Bieber.
So you can pretty much guess what's on my ipod play list when I wanna get in the mood - and by in the mood I mean ROCKIN GOOD TIME mood.
I went to a wedding dance a few weeks ago and the DJ played some really nice music...people danced, it was all good. But the party didn't really start until he played the classics that I mentioned above. Then you shoulda seen the place jumpin. Yes, yours truly had "happy feet". ~L~
So, don't give me no rap, R & B, and no bubblegum music! Give me something that I can sink my teeth into and move my feet to. Give me the good ole rock and roll music!
