Top Ten...Okay, Eight

I know you've seen many different TOP TEN lists (TOP TEN THINGS MEN WISH WOMEN WOULD STOP ASKING THEM, TOP TEN THINGS WOMEN WISH MEN KNEW BUT DON'T...) Well this isn't one of those lists...heck it isn't even an actual list of TEN. And even though it's not exactly TEN, sometimes you come across things that resonate with you...things that are worthy of a list. Whether these things are from an experience you had first hand or something that's told to you...no matter how you get the knowledge, it's worthy of remembering. 

So as with most things that I think might be helpful to others, I feel like I shouldn't keep them to myself. Yes, I know how to keep a secret but in this case, I'm telling...

TOP EIGHT LIST OF THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND
  1. Don't settle for anything less than what you deserve. Know your worth.
  2. No one is worth compromising your self worth, morals or feelings.
  3. If someone wants to spend time with you or  talk to you - they will. No one is always THAT busy to be TOO busy. People make time for who and what they want.
  4. Stop trying to please everyone. You will only succeed in neglecting yourself.
  5. Quit trying to control things that are out of your control.
  6. Quit trying to be perfect. Just be real.
  7. Stop accepting less. (was worth saying again)
  8. Life is shorter than you think. So live your life, appreciate your life and stop measuring your life.
Leave me a comment or send me an email  if you have any to add to the list. Who knows, maybe we can grow this list to an actual TEN.

Oscar Chronicles - All By Myself

  Hola, mis amigos. I'm not going to ask if you missed me because - well, I already know you did. But more than that, I'm not going to ask because I'm sad, angry and hungry. Okay, perhaps I'm always interested in some snacks...Anyway, your Oscar is sad. Why? Is because a couple of weeks ago mi persona favorito decided to remodel his room. No really! He took all of the things out of the room - even my bed! At first I was angry thinking that he was kicking me out! He even took down his posters and emptied his closet! But then I started seeing him bringing some stuff back. Several pairs of his zapatos, some shirts and chaquetas. Some things he even put in the basura! Things that were too small or too old - you know how they do, right? So yes,  A MAJOR CLEANING. His room was like SUPER CLEAN.  He and his Papa also bought in new stuff. New zapatos, shirts, pants. The new stuff he put into a new bag. Nice! Good storage. It even has wheels!! So he can move it around a lot easi...

Who are you? - Tra

I’m admittedly curious about, well, quite a few things. But perhaps I am the most interested in people. Why they do the things they do…their likes, dislikes, dreams and aspirations. Sooooooo I figured, why not ask a few people a few things about themselves. I’m going to try to convince , cajole, coerce ,  beg , ask a few people to take a few minutes to talk about their favorite subject - THEMSELVES. This is the first in what I hope will be many entries in the series   WHO ARE YOU? My first victim , guinea pig, test subject, guest is Tra.   I had the pleasure of interviewing him this afternoon. Here’s what he had to say: Mackgurl: Tra,thank you for agreeing to chat with me today. Tra: My pleasure. Mackgurl: Okay so no pressure just a few questions to help us learn about you. Ready? Tra: Ready Mackgurl: Great! First question. - What do you do? And by that I mean, for a living? Tra: I sell Kirby vacuums. Mackgurl: A salesman! Very nice! How...

Oscar Chronicles - Locked Up

Hola... Sigh - I'm writing to you today from jail, prison, lock up, the slammer, the clink...ok so you may know it by any of these names. For me, I call it... THE CAGE. It's where you get sent when you do ba- err stuff the people would rather you not to do...and get caught (smile). The severity of the infraction or the recurrence of such infractions determines your sentence length.  Hmm, guess that's how it works for people, too eh? Except for one key diferencia... I don't get a lawyer or a trial. Nope. No jury of my peers. Guilty and...  THE CAGE. Mi Mug Shot So what was the charge this time? Well, mi gente already know how much I like to eat. My food, your food, people food, whatever. As long as it's food and I like it, I want to eat it. Side-note: There's nothing better than people food 😛 So, mi persona gave me something he called a candy cane. Have you had this? Aye Dios Mio!It was sooooooo good! First, he let me sample it. He told me not to bite it but a ...
