Thoughts from the Archangel

It is my goal today to think positively.  I think that I really enjoy pissing and moaning about stuff a bit too much, so that’s all I do.  Okay, not all, but I do it a lot.  In the spirit of that realization (an epiphany? not so much), I will strive to be positive today!

I started this morning getting out of bed late.  Positively thinking, of course, I got that few extra minutes of much-desired sleep.  It was lovely.  I also spent a few extra minutes in the shower this morning, and it was refreshing.  Traffic, while mostly incorporated of the usual suspects, was not too heavy and I was only five minutes late to my desk.  I’d like to thank all of the folks who have taken today off to go to the NCAA games in town or to start Spring Break a little early.  You made it a hell of a lot easier to get into work this morning.

I checked my bracket after last night’s round.  I’m out in the Midwest and have been since the second round, so no news there.  The West played and I am 50% in this round, with Mizzou knocking out Memphis.  My East bracket is still going well – I have both teams right (that’s right, I called the ‘nova game right, bitches!).  The South plays this weekend, and I have UNC and Syracuse heading on the the Elite 8.  We’ll see on Monday how I did.  Here’s my Final Four predictions:

Midwest – Wake Forest I’m already out here.  Damn it.

West – UConn

East – Pitt

South – Syracuse

I see UConn and Pitt in the Championship game with Pitt coming out on top.  Here’s to being positive!

Feeling quite accomplished at work, I have completed stages of three projects in the past two days.  Today, I am positive that I will try to continue that path, with only a half day used on ogling hot athletes.   For a good one today, go check out the Ladies…

Also on the accomplishment trail, the DH and I finished up with our second 8-week circuit in the gym.  We go tonight to learn our new one.  It’s getting (slowly) to the point where we can see differences.  Not so much in ourselves, but we can see them in each other.  The other telling factors: I don’t feel winded going up two flights of stairs here at work, and I had to go down a size when buying shirts last weekend.  It’s a nice feeling.

Feeling positive and good about myself improves my outlook on others…well, mostly it just makes me more confident whilst ogling guys.  So, let’s hop to that for the close, shall we?  My current top five in pics:
