Why does this sound familiar? Hrrrrm...no, it couldn't be Mr. "I believe in the carrot and the stick"? Or was it others who have been "persnickety?" >I react poorly to what I’ll call tough-guy motivation: picture any sports movie where the underachiever is pounded constantly by his coach until eventually out of sheer anger that underachiever becomes a star.

I have to comment... You are fabulous and just b/c you skipped a month in your blog, probably as a result of a full time job/boyfriend/life, it doesn't mean that you can't come back stronger. As advice I will quote that cute six year old in the Disney Cruise's commercial, in this life “You can eat what you wunt. You can play when you wunt. You can sleep when you wunt. You can do whatever you wunt!” You wanna go get a beer later? Well it’s been a while since I had time at work to read my favorite blog (I need to get a home computer) and I see this.

There are no mean people in my life. Well, none that I love. So there, for the record... Based on the comments I’ve gotten about this, I feel my post came across more dramatic than I thought.
