Well,
went to the bank, won't bored you with details. But what I really want to share is the magazine my mom was reading she had to share with me. The article was all about laughing and laugh therapy. I think that is why I am addictive to reading so many of you guy’s, oh and you gals (Yes! I have found some female journals that make me laugh, and they aren‘t teenagers.) Thank You! Thank You! Thank You All.
Phone rang and I lost my thought. Oh yes laugh therapy.
Thank you all for sharing your journals.
I know my journals entries haven’t been much to laugh about but my journal reflects the real me. You can look at my pic and you will notice me smiling but don’t look very long at my eyes or you will see all my pain that I try to hide from the real world that is around me.
No two people look at the world in the same way. So if you do find something to laugh about in my journal. Laugh It UP. Laugh until your sides hurt. You will be glad you laughed so hard. And there is a medical study that says laughing is good for you.
Ok once again I lost my thought, between my mom coming to tell me my 13yr cousin being in a car wreck last night (alcohol was involved) I know 2 adults that will be spending some time in jail. My hubby had to stop by and see what mom was reading.
I learned something else about myself just a few minutes ago.
I write, not just here in the journal but I have over 523 word files where I have started writing and have not finished because my hubby would come in and start reading it over my shoulder. GRRRR. That would pop my cork, and I would just save the file and move on. Why cause my hubby had read it. Now my mother has read everything so far in my entry, and I’m not angry. My mother comment about a part of the test from thinkingcraft.com (it’s at the bottom of the entry) that she disagrees with. You will find what she disagrees with in the report.
hmmm,
Nope not ready to end this entry, but what else do I want to write about????
Me of course. LOL.
Writing here in this journal, is in many ways a very much needed therapy for me. (thank you Jamie, god works in mysterious ways and my finding your journal and your entry that night inspired me to start my own)
I now have a means to vent my angry constructively, which those of you that have kept up with my entries, have figured out my keeping my angry bottled up is not a good thing.
Sorry lost my thought again, hubby took a bath and is smelling good.
This journal has also been giving me a reason to get up in the morning. LOL, ok not my journal, but getting up and checking out to see if you guys, and gals have put an new entry in your journals yet does get me up.
Grrrr. Now I remember why I wait to do most my entries late in the evening.
Ok in truth, it’s not those around me. I noticed last night that I have a pain in my back. Which the pain in itself isn’t bad, but it’s one of my warning signs that I’m inching toward manic. I’ve not reached my blinking in a new world phase yet, but you reading are more then likely having problems keeping up with my bouncing thoughts.
So in truth my hubby, mother and kids are an excuse, for why I can’t stay on one subject very good tonight. You can see my face in the pic, but reading your getting a good look in my bouncing mind tonight. Oh, I will still be sticking to my 1 a day rule, manic or not. I will warn you the next entry may be really long and worse about jumping this one.
And the subject is about journals and laughing.
Do I make my readers laugh when they read my journal?
More then likely not. That makes me kinda feel bad, and I will say sorry if you do read and you didn’t find a single thing to laugh about.
I will be blunt and tell you it’s my journal, I do edit my language a WHOLE lot. But this journal is one of the few places in the world that I don’t have to put on a face and pretend.
I total refuse to put on a face here and be things I’m not.
When I do talk about one of you guys and gals in my journal, it never meant to be in a negative light or in my hopes that you don’t take it negative.
And on that note Gentlewolf, I CAN’T get your web page to come up. I went to pee and fill my cup up and your page still was trying to load. Paced the hall a few times then checked again, still loading. I moved to my next one reading then used the back button and your page loaded fine for me, but I clicked to go deeper and it started all over again. Sorry to say I got frustrated and decided it would be best for me to wait a couple days then I’ll try again.
Hi Dan thanks for leaving your mark. Would of left my comment on your post today but your comment area kept telling me no data. grrr. You made me think and laugh I agree with your romance resume.
So it’s possible it’s just me having computer problems a lot today or it’s cause I’m inching toward manic.
Oh hello to you dreamwriter, thanks for leaving your mark. I really do enjoy reading your entries. And that goes for you too Jamie and Daryl.
I love reading all of you guys and gals journals, there is at least one or two of you that make me laugh on a daily bases.
Ok, that said lets see if I can get my mind back to the thought I started and drove off the road from.
My journal is more for me then you readers. I write to please me, not you readers, and I won’t apologize for that. So if you guys don’t read one of my entries, that’s ok. I’m dark more times then light, and I understand that you don’t want to read my dark thoughts when your trying to find something to make you laugh.
(I’m trying to keep my fighting mode under control and I’m sorry if I’m coming off as a witch tonight.)
Had to share this with everyone.
This is what they came up with from me taking their test.
It was interesting, and made me raise my eyebrows on some things, for it’s possible they are right.

Blackbird's Communication Style:
When it comes to challenges or competition, you're always striving to be #1. In fact, anything less than being #1 can make you dissatisfied and upset. You love to be a winner and to associate with winners. And, you're not afraid to be #1 no matter what the personal cost and time involved. And each step, you love to become more productive and to gain more power over other people and outcomes.
You love challenges! In any endeavor that you undertake, whether alone or as a leader of people, you strive to be the best. You'll funnel your energy like a laser beam towards the goals and objectives to be accomplished. You will not be budged from this path. Everyone who knows you realizes this. It's the "tenacious bulldog" in you.
Your middle name is "Efficiency." No matter what you attempt to do, you're always trying to do it faster and better. If a task can be accomplished in one-hour, then you try to do it in 50 minutes; then 40 in minutes; etc.
You are a bottom-line person. The saying, "Time is money," is a theme that drives you and makes you push others. Finishing a task or project on time is a necessity to you. You'll work relentlessly to this end.
Others refer to you as a taskmaster. When you're in a position of authority, you'll drive yourself and others to finish what needs to be done on time or ahead of time. If there's a choice between pleasing others and completing a task, there's no question that you would choose tasks over people. And when you're finished with that task, you're quickly onto the next one.
Blackbird On The Job:
Communications (Verbal): These individuals are practical and realistic communicators. They can be patient and excellent listeners; they also can be creative and optional in problem-solving. Many times their speech is crisp and firm, particularly when they're focused and moving quickly towards their goals. As they learn from experience, they know when to couch their words carefully instead of being blunt and to the point. Sometimes they can negatively criticize with their comments; (my mother disagrees to the word sometimes, she says that I do negative criticize all the time) however, when they're relaxed socially, they can be very positive and supportive.
Taking Directions: They may become impatient and challenge the directed work process if directions aren't clear or if they don't have a clear understanding of the whole process. They need clear goals, objectives and deadlines to keep themselves tracked and motivated. Given the opportunity, they will improve on directions that aren't clear. They often rewrite directions so other employees don't waste time. Sometimes they can be personal and patient in giving directions. If they don't respect the person giving directions, they may question or not follow them.
Task Orientation: Structures with clear lines of authority need to be delineated for them to proceed with success. Sometimes they need to understand the whole picture first before proceeding. Once they're aligned with their goals and functional roles, they usually drive full speed ahead without looking back. They enjoy tasks in which they are given positive attention or reinforcements. Most of the time they love tasks and projects that can be expedited with efficiency; however, if circumstances demand it, they can be very flexible and creative in an endeavor.
Leadership: These people can become great entrepreneurial leaders. In tough times they can intuit the big picture, frame it into active, tactical moves and communicate what needs to be done in clear, precise messages. They know how to get others to finish a project successfully and on time by creating the right atmosphere of focus, personal loyalty and healthy competition. Most of the time they can create exceptionally efficient workforces with a seamless effort. Even when they're demanding and seemingly unreasonable, people continue to work hard for them. Sometimes, they may need help learning how to set realistic expectations for themselves and others, and also, how to relinquish control over others when it's no longer necessary.
Supervising This Applicant: Because they are very loyal, extremely motivated and operate at high energy, they don't need much to motivate them. Strong, demanding, fair and clear supervision is respected and followed. Goals, objectives and deadlines that are practical and realistic are needed to focus their relentless energy. They welcome criticism, whether positive or negative. Sometimes they can be too persuasive with others and will need assistance in learning how to back off. If they aren't positively reinforced by promotions and raises, they may look for a rewarding position somewhere else. Blackbird's Vacation Profile:
You are a go-getter who works hard at everything you do. Many people label you a workaholic, but you prefer to describe yourself as aggressive, ambitious and dynamic. You approach your vacation with that same focused energy that helps you achieve success in your everyday life. A vacation for you should be filled with things to do and places to go, but you also need some occasional unstructured time to absorb and reflect on the overall experience. Additionally, you would appreciate the type of vacation that provides an outlet for your competitive nature.
When planning your vacation, you throw yourself into the task with that same zest and enthusiasm that you have for a business meeting. You are organized and thorough, and you enjoy creating your own itinerary. You know what you like and what works for you, but you like to consider various other options. You read through the flashy brochures promising paradise, or talk to friends whose opinions you trust. Usually you can decide quickly where to go, but sometimes you need extra time to make a decision as you examine the alternatives. Once you have decided where to go, you print out the itinerary, e-mail your friends a copy, and then you get back to work.
You dislike waiting for or planning a trip months in advance. The more you think about a trip far off in the future, the more you tend to worry about whether or not to take it at all. Immediacy is more important to you. You tend to like the most direct route to your destination. Usually, the long scenic way is not your way-you can see all the scenery you want when you get where you are going, but if you're taking an extended trip by car, you can appreciate the views along the way. You are rarely interested in cheap discount fares with several plane changes or delays. When packing for the trip, you generally know what you need. You are very organized and often have your "to do lists" and your suitcases handy, but sometimes you wait until nearly the last minute to do the actual packing.
Typically you choose clean, well-run establishments, as neatness and cleanliness are important to you. You make sure they provide room service, a concierge on staff, and a high-speed Internet connection. Once you arrive, you will want to jump into action and get going. You might lounge around the pool with friends for a little while, but it's not all you want to do. Having a pool to swim laps for exercise would also be desirable. You'd enjoy access to a gym, where you can stick to your workout routine while away. When you set out to see the sights, you like the freedom to explore by yourself to get a feel for the place, the architecture, the history, and the mindset of the people in order to develop a better understanding of your surroundings. At the end of the day, however, you're likely to plug in your laptop computer to check on things back home or at work and catch up with your online friends and business contacts.
Here are some vacation ideas that would appeal to you:
Sporting events where you enjoy setting a personal record or competing for a prize. Club or professional organization conventions. Business seminars and mixers where you can set aside time to relax after a long day. A cruise filled with activities to do on board and different ports to visit. A gambling trip to Las Vegas or Aruba. A long weekend in Washington at the Smithsonian or a busy theme park.
Above all, remember you prefer doing more than thinking, so make sure your vacation keeps you busy. You appreciate it being planned out with clear goals and objectives. Often, once you find a vacation spot you like, you will return there, knowing that everything will be just the way you like it. You normally don't like to deviate from what works, but you like to consider options. That's what makes you successful at both work and play. When you decide to have some rest and relaxation, you enjoy every moment of it.
LOL, Well, they pegged me good on being goal minded.

And on that note, I will say.
If you didn’t find something to laugh about this entry your welcome to stick your smily face tongue out at me.
Thanks for stopping by and reading my long ramblings.
Thanks for leaving your mark.
Hope you have a good day, evening or night which ever may be your case.
bb
P.S going to go watch Heroes and chew my nails.
