Ok, so on Friday I made a comment that life was good. How stupid was I? It seems the powers to be decided to make my life absolute shit fro here on in. Ok here goes
1) Didn't sleep AT ALL on Sunday night
2) Work was actually the good part of my day
3) Gym was ok but I forgot my inhaler, actually I've lost it, so I got asthma
4) Went to Darren's on the way home where we argued
5) Drove home
6) Went to get my gym bag out of the car... oops it's not there. Oh no neither is the box of burbon I'd recently bought.
I hate people. Oh yeah if you didn't figure it out the stuff was stolen out of my car. At first you just think oh it's my gym bag not a huge deal. But then you realise little by little all the things that were actually in there. Like:
1) All my toiletries
2) $60 bra
3) My wallet thankfully I had all my cards with me so don't need to replace any
4) Then I realised shit my CD player was in there
5) Then... even worse... my Live on Two Legs Pearl jam CD was in the player
6) And so were my rechargable batteries
7) Then to top it all off as I was walking in here this morning I realised my $150 bottle of Christian Dior perfume was in there too.
Please answer the questions from yesterday if you haven't and thanks to everyone who has for their thoughts.
I'm going to get on with the best part of my day... work before I go home and lie on my bed till I fall asleep.
ps Thanks Eddie Vedder for your comments, it gave me a lot to think about, it's very appreciated :-) Funny how you think you know everything you need to know to be who you want to be but then you realise you don't but I guess as long as we keep learning that's the most important thing.

Why would you want your bra to be a fridge??
No nothing special it was just a sports bra, bras are expensive if you need a good quality one.
And thanks Adam... work should be fun at least.
Hi Mindy
i have one thing i forgot to say last night.
there's love, there's hate, and there is respect. you might ask yourself, when you are hating someone, whether you still respect them. this should give you extra clarity as usually respect reminds us to appreciate the qualities we admire most - certainly things we do not hate.
Once you stop learning you might as well be dead. When something tricky crosses your path try and see it as a gift - "hmm, what has the universe put in front of me now for me to learn?". Often the things we are struggling with in life will be uncanningly reiterated to us - to challenge us to see it as an opportunity to overcome rather than something more beating us down.
The sorrow grows bigger when the sorrow's denied. I only know my mind. I am mine.

PS I once was approached by a groupie who had stuffed two beer cans down her bra to make her breasts look bigger.
Apparently, she wanted her bra to be a fridge.
Thanks Ed :-) However, I fear I am being hated more than I am doing the hating, but your advice is still very relevant thanks.
And that's nice about the groupie. Also I hope it is ok that I listen to my "backup" version of your CD that was stolen until next month when my budget will allow me to replace it.
oh, well that's a bit trickier - again if the person was of total inner peace they would not be emotionally affected (i.e. hate) towards something you have done, which I assume is possibly the situation. But - since that's hard - if the person respected and truely loved you they would get over it with an apology. The worst thing you could do in this situation is feel like you owe the person something more than that as then you are not honouring yourself.
Anger and its friend hate are some of the easiest emotions to let out and having had my fair share I choose now to feel compassion for people going through that rather than return hate or fear. It seems to work for me - most of the time!
Similarly think about the person who stole your stuff. Wouldn't it suck to be them? They couldn't possibly be living a life filled with love and happiness and they are probably into the dark so deeply that they may never come out. Does thinking about how bad their life must be to steal you stuff help you to be grateful for the wonderful things you do have?
you seem to be an honourable young lady so i'm fine if you listen to your "backup" - I know you love music. you might like to purchase our recent best of which I negotiated a special price of $18.99 this week at your new zealand warehouse.
It's already been sung, but it can't be said enough.
All you need is love
Thanks for your comments everyone. I am in a much better mood than when I arrived this morning - I guess although some people (who steal things) are horrible, I'm lucky because the people in my life are so nice.
Where is Amy today? When does she want to go and see the movie Melinda Melinda?
i think the boat may have almost sailed sorry babe.
this thursday it is definatley sin city time
maybe the following week? it does not matter for review purposes- the next deadline is in a month!
oh, and i have been at uni.
i bet you never would have guessed that.
i just got 80/80 for a project :) but i don't know what any one else got so it may not be that good.
still, can't complain
Well done Ame! That's excellent. But also sad about the movie.
Maybe sunday would be all right
we will talk about it later
Sunday is really not a good day for me to do things... it's Darren's only day off work at the moment. But yeah we can talk later.
Mindy Mindy Mindy!
You didn't write me an email today. Ok, Life is really good! Life is an awesome and wonderful thing and we are all so so lucky!!! But yes what a horrible day you had yesterday. I think it's yesterday. Or today? A bit confused :(
So your stuff was all stolen. :( Some people do such horrible things. I don't know why. It would be sad to be them and to have to do that.
Bras are expensive Adam. If I buy a decent bra it costs me $60 bucks too. In fact, I have to buy a decent bra, cos the crappier cheaper but also sometimes quite funky ones don't come in my size. $60 is *cheap* when I buy a bra.
Eddie seems to agree with me! (I read the comments as I write)
Mindy, look at your picture, you are smiling and happy - I think you should try and emulate that. Because tomorrow is going to be a better day! It couldn't be worse. Hey do you know if you click on a comment -on the person at the top - it minimises? so cool. And Nick - long comments just mean you have more in your head that you need to get out. There's nothing wrong with them. Succinctness is not always effective, although it can have its place.
There was an awesome double rainbow as I walked home from work today. made me glad to be walking in the rain.
