"It is not the ctitic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Monday

~Monday is a lame way to spend 1/7 of your life.
~Author Unknown

~Many years ago in a period commonly know as Next Friday Afternoon, there lived a King who was very Gloomy on Tuesday mornings because he was so Sad thinking about how Unhappy he had been on Monday and how completely Mournful he would be on Wednesday.

Alright, feeling slightly productive even after a rough day at work, so I thought I'd blog. Nothing big. Don't have much to say :)

Oh Mondays... I had a seminary teacher who loved Mondays. They were his favorite day of the week. I quite admired that, but I had a hard time understanding it myself. Ya, fresh start but they just are not fun!

The obvious problem would be that they are so far away from the weekend. I can't really argue that. But I have a hard time getting back into things after the weekend. My efficiency today was terrible. I don't have the percentage-I get it the next day-but I don't think I want to know :P But I think what throws me off personally, is the devotional we have at work on Monday mornings.

See, I have goals throughout the day. And when we take a half hour out of the day (one I quite enjoy really) it puts me behind. And when I feel behind I go more slowly cuz I don't feel quite as motivated. Ya, I know I can work on that. But it's also kind of become my excuse for doing poorly on Mondays :)

Plus, I have to take time to change my needles and oil my machine. And today, my MP3 Player (really my brother's that I am borrowing) quit. Like, no warning. Nothing. It now has a black screen and it won't even turn off. Ya, the light's still on and it quit on me about nine hours ago. Can't make it work. It was a long afternoon without music... and I can imagine tomorrow if I don't figure something out...

Alright, enough with the negativity. I did get my hair dyed today! I love when it's redone! I did the same blond streaks on top and red underneath. Except, I did do the red a little darker in hopes that it won't fade as much... Haha, I just know I'm gonna have fun with the bleeding colors every time I wash it for the next week or two :)

Positives I'll share on the Internet... I get paid Friday! And I have overtime on this pay check! Pretty excited. Let's see... I got my financial aid information. Turns out, if I was still going to France, I'd have a good chunk of money :) But then I'm not going. Haha, and it's kind of sad to look at those numbers and know I now have to tell BYU I'm not going to school until January and watch the money go away...

Wow, that turned negative! Geez! I swear I don't mean to be so down! I write plenty of happy things in my journal :) Haha, which is part of the reason I don't get to blogging...
