Seriously. Seriously. Cannot stand flaky people. I think it's just rude. Flat out rude. When somebody calls you or e-mails you then it's polite to respond. I don't give s flippin-A if the response isn't in my favor. What I care about is if you take the time to respond. I'm not saying you should respond to every single thing, but when you've made commitments you should follow through on them. AHHHHHHHHHH! It's so frustrating to me. Who does that? That's my rant while I sit on a conference call that I have no involvement in. It's hard to find the desire to fight for things when you don't really give a damn. C'est la vie!

Random thoughts, inquiries and observations
1) It's only 100 days til the Olympics! Why am I not more excited?
2) Remember those Olympic coins they used to have in cereal boxes?
3) I think Gymnastics is my favorite Olympic sport to watch.
4) I wonder if I could ever "STICK" a landing after flipping off a vault.
5) Mexico has a volcano - news to me!
6) I thought Mexico was a land of beaches, taco trucks, and dive bars.
7) Volcanoes in Mexico totally ruined my exotic fantasy land that I've always imagined.
8) How would you feel to be part of Bin Laden's family - I thought my family had issues.
9) I like presenting powerpoint presentations
10) I, however, take it as a personal insult to my intelligence to present somebody else's powerpoint, as if I'm not smart enough to create my own.
11) Flaky people drive me insane.
12) I hope people don't think I'm flaky.
13) Fiduciary is a funny word.
14) I always thought a good line would be "Yeah, that guy puts the douche in fiduciary."
15) I really want to get a bike.
16) I think people with bike racks always look so in shape and put together.
17) Secrets can be hard to keep.
18) I get more excited for other people than I do for myself.
19) I ate way tOO much at lunch.
20) Crying is so unbelievably therapeutic.

What was supposed to be a comment...
On Mare's post below..:
AHHHH! I love this more and more! I read it the other day rather hurriedly. But today I've been so incredibly bored and revisited it without any distractions and it just blows my mind.
God is good to us regardless. By him giving us somebody it is such an incredible blessing to show us how much he loves us.
I have a hard time with this sometimes because I feel like my view of love is sometimes selfish - well it's almost always ultimately selfish with a facade and an intellectual understanding that I'm supposed to be selfless. I'm only recently learning how to truly love completely selflessly.
My counselor told me that it's a psychological theory/belief (not sure what you would call it) that our perception of God is a mirror of our perception of our parents. To me my parents have always loved me - I would never doubt that. But their love seems ultimately self-directed. I feel if they truly loved me they would say, "We love you, now do what you want to do. We had our time with you. We've watched you grow and helped you along the way. Now it's your turn to take the reins."
I feel like that's what God is telling us. And not only is telling us but wants us to do. And He gives us awesome consolation prizes along the way. What would the world be like if God kept all of us to Himself?

from the mouth of Cistercian abbot, St. Aelred of Rievaulx
It is no small consolation in this life to have someone to whom you can be united in the intimate embrace of the most sacred love; in whom your spirit can rest; to whom you can pour out your soul; in whose delightful company, as in a sweet consoling song, you can take comfort in the midst of sadness; in whose most welcome, friendly bosom you can find peace in so many worldly setbacks; to whose loving heart you can open, as freely as you would to yourself, your innermost thoughts; through whose spiritual kisses – as by some medicine – you are cured of the sickness of care and worry; who weeps with you in sorrow, rejoices with you in joy, and wonders with you in doubt; whom you draw by the fetters of love into that inner room of your soul, so that though the body is absent, the spirit is there, and you can confer all alone, the two of you, in the sleep of peace away from the noise of the world, in the embrace of love, in the kiss of unity, with the Holy Spirit flowing over you; to whom you so join and unite yourself that you mix soul with soul, and two become one.
