Your best friend should be somebody that you can trust one hundred percent. You should be able to confide in them knowing that they will not spread your news to other people. How many times have told a friend a piece of personal information and have then asked them not to tell anybody else about it? The sheer fact that you had to ask them not to tell other people should tell you that they are not best friend material.
All of us have stages of our life when we really need a friend. We may be in trouble, we may have done a terrible deed, what we require in this situation is somebody to support us, listen to our problems, offer advice, possibly a room to spend the night but most of all not to judge us. We all make mistakes; after all we are all human. A best friend will offer all of these things, without hesitation.
A best friend will not stab you in the back by attempting to steal your boy/girlfriend, they will not spread rumours about you, you should be able to trust them with your life.
Does your best friend have the qualities mentioned above? If the answer is no, this does not mean that you need to dump this person totally, it merely means that you should not be regarding them as a best friend.

Beautiful Day
Wow today was amazing. The only down side was having to be inside for most of it. I headed to work this morning feeling great. I had on a new outfit courtesy of goodwill and wal-mart. As mentioned previously trying to step it up. So out the door feeling great in my pencil skirt and oooooh so feminine cream colored top. Got lots of comments.. just wish they had been about something other than my fish-belly white legs. LOL. Oh well still feeling great about it. I went to meet Tracy for some much needed patio/"t" time. I love when we get together I always laugh my but off. Then headed home to find out that Shaun had already eaten cereal and ramen and Nikki had eaten at Brandy's. With my belly full of fabulous coffee all I had to do was whip up a couple quick BLT's for Roy before he went to work. Pre-cooked bacon makes it a 3 minute meal. Now the kids are in bed, Roy is at work, the windows are open and I am enjoy the great breeze. Man I am going to sleep like a baby. Hope it's an even better day tomorrow :O )
Happy Administrative Pro's Day!
Just want to send a shout out to all those fellow admins out there. You know the business world wouldn't be complete without us, so pamper yourself today. 
My boss Melissa brought me a very pretty pink Carnation.
I don't have a camera at work but this looks just like the one on my desk. Thanks Mel :)

The Move
Our company is moving a newly built building much closer to my home. The exact day has gone around and around but it was finalized today. We will be moving in 2 phases that start on July 10th. I will be part of phase one and responsible for helping those assigned to me. I realized today that the two months I have until that day are not going to be long enough. I have 4 of my own managers plus myself to pack and move. Then there are bout 10 others that I will need to help. I am dreading it and excited about it all at the same time. But I have to step up my game big time. I will be on the fifth floor with my managers and the other executive staff. I have been kind of slipping lately. Not sure if it's cause I haven't felt good or just got comfortable. I need to get get more professional clothes since most of mine don't fit anymore and refocus my time at work. I love days when I am busy and feel accomplished. So one more goal to the list "Step it Up DESIREE"

The Flood
Wow where did the weekend go? I had a busy one.
Friday: was bunko with girls, i lost but that means I won the booby bucket, an ice scrapper, flip flops, a lotto ticket, garden hose nozzle, and $6.
Saturday: was cold and rainy but it was great. Roy and I went bowling, played in the arcade and then went and saw "Observe and Report". Then he picked up Nikki and she had a friend stay over. We ordered pizza and rented movies. He was asleep at like 9:35pm. I zonked out about 11pm while texting with Tracy.. sorry about that by the way.
Sunday: the best part *ahem ahem; with complete sarcasim* was the flood we woke up to very earlier Sunday morning. We woke up and there was a strange smell in the house we thought it was coming from outside so Roy shut the windows and then the smell got stronger. As he headed out to get McD's for an early breakfast, mind you it was like5AM, and discovered the source of the awful smell. It was nasty flood of sewer water that had back-up from the drain the basement. There was like 1 1/2 - 2" of standing water covering over half of the basement. Well I don't have a shop vac so off to Wal-Mart he went to get one. A little while later with breakfast and a shop vac he returned to start the clean up. He was so great, no temper no question just jumped in and got to work. Making sure I didn't get in the water and stayed clear "for my safety". He is so cute sometimes, he is alway saying be careful and be safe. I guess he figured out my clumsy nature. LOL So hours later the water was gone but still had the smell. And while he was doing the clean up I was trying to get a hold of the maintenence people at "The Rent Company". As usual they didn't respond till about 4pm today. Good thing I have a great boyfriend or I would have been dealing with 2" of water in my basement all day.
However Sunday wasn't all bad, I did get in some "T" time and went grocery shopping. I have decided Sunday is grocery shopping day and I am not going to go at all durning the week, or a least that's the plan. I have budgeted and planned a menu for the whole week. I think it will save me money in the long run.
Hope you all at least as good a weekend as me :) LOL

A Quote for Thursday
I received this in an email this morning and thought I would share. Have a great Thursday!
Quote of the day: 'Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater.
If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby.
If you give her a house, she'll give you a home.
If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal.
If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart.
She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.
So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit.'

Goals
I have new goals for myself. I found that if I put it in writing it helps keep me accountable. I learned this on my weigh loss journey. I have a line chart at my desk that I see everyday that reminds me of where I have been and how far I have come. I have reached my goal of a size 8 so it's time now to work on other important things in my life. These are not necessarily in order of importance just as they came to me.
- be on time to work
- start working out (also a doctors order so that helps motivate)
- stay on top of household chores (this one has slipped with the recent medical drama)
- clean out basement and have garage sale
- continue to build a better self image (it's amazing that you can loss 100lbs and still not feel great about yourself)
- More one on one time with Shaun
- More one on time with me
- Eat breakfast everyday
- get more sleep
- more friend time
So there it is for all to see. Now to get to work :)
Time for an update
So the last time I blogged it was about my stomach and I have been so busy since then that I thought I would fill you in on what happened with that.
March 30 - Had an upper GI scope done
April 3 - Went for a gastric emptying study
April 8 - Went to doctor to get results they are as follows:
I have GERD which is pretty common, basically acid reflux disease. Which I had a prior but in a different form. Also my stomach has decided to give out and stop functioning on a normal level. It is not emptying and processing food like it should so I now take several meds to heal the damage caused by the GERD and others to make my stomach emptying itself into my intestines since it won't do it on it's own or at least not like it should. Short story of it "I have an old stomach" for 27. I am supposed to limit all the good things in life like coffee, soda, chocolate, fried foods, fatty foods, dairy and high fiber foods. Of course I let them know that I would do my best but I was not going to quit all together. The good news is that I will be able to stop one of the meds (Kapidex) in a few months. Not that it really matters with the other five I will still have to be on but hey I am gonna live.
