@ WORK*

.... Hellooo...hope everyone had a fabulous weekend... I had a lovely one- promise to post about it this week...but just not today- it's another Monday!(...grrr) and of course we can never postpone Monday?! Some of us are eagerly waiting for work to begin

....yeah right?! ~hee*
Monday mornings always seem to be here all too soon. Just when we are getting used to the weekend and Whoosh! — it's already flown by all too soon! But no matter how much we might moan or groan, there is no escaping darlings...

......I'd say- don't let Mondays get us down. Let's get our spirits up and moving again! ~Take a deep breath...Darlings and charge on, full steam ahead. And just in case you find it hard, here are some ways to chase the Monday blues away

...perhaps get a MORE interesting odd job???

errr...take a look at some :

Odour judge

condom tester

semen/sperm collector

Underwear designer

dog food tester

Artificial inseminator

On_The_Road*

... Weekend is here again!!! ...like a great cloud delivering rain on a hot-hot day! But I hope it won't rain this weekend though... and ruining an outdoor wedding ceremony... Yes, I've been invited to witness an out-of-town "I do's" ceremony. It's going to be about 3 hours drive to get there...Not a bad thing at all- a few hours on a nice summer weather drive on the High-Way and we'll be there in no time...yay! ...Quite excited!! Easy-Breezy Road trip unlike these...

~fasten your seat belt & take a look :

The highest paved mountain pass in the Eastern Alps, the Stelvio Pass Road connects the Valtellina with the upper Adige valley and Merano. It is located in the Italian Alps close to the Swiss border. Closer look:
.

...While it might not be the most 'risky' as other dangerous routes, it's certainly breathtaking. The tour books advise that the toughest and most spectacular climbing is from the Prato side, Bormio side approach is more tame. With 48 hairpins, this road is regarded as one of the finest continuous 'hairpin'[sharp angles] routes in the Alps.

This one is really-really BAD! -The Russian Federal Highway which connects Moscow to Yakutsk, where the coldest temperature ever recorded outside Antarctica was recorded. Yakutsk is also the largest city built on continuous permafrost. Considered one of the world's most dangerous roads... Well, during the winter, which is approximately ten months long, driving in and out of Yakutsk is subject to heavy snow, ice, and reduced visibility. However, winter road conditions are a picnic compared to trying to navigate the Russian Federal Highway on July and August. Because of the permafrost there is no asphalt, creating a mud induced traffic jam every time the summer rains drop by the region...surely a muddy-sticky situation!!!
.

Last but not least...the most 'nail biting' road:
This is Death Road...I know why now! just Look at this danger zone!

Errr..."Mommie...I'm scarrrrred..." -The Death Road, is about 69 km road leading from La Paz to Coroico [Bolivia's capital, to the Amazon region] in the Yungas region of Bolivia. It is legendary for its extreme DANGER: in 1995 was named as the "world's MOST Dangerous Road"....Eeeck! I can see why!!
.

" Well-well-well... I shall NOT complain
on my road trips ever again...even when there's traffic jam
...or those small bumpy tiny pot-holes on the highway!!! ...Are we there yet?!!! " ~oops!
.
Have a Safe*
&
Beautiful* Weekend~
Darlingsss...

What's your plan this weekend? ...Do share okie*

Strrrrrretchin'

" I need to stretch & be more flexible...

especially on Mondays!

...should I do a pose like this when

I show up at work next Monday??? "

... Ahhh...feeling so much better today...did some gentle stretching of the joints and spine… Not only In promoting joint and spinal flexibility, it also seems to promote a certain kind of mental ease and comfort! Yoga (or most any physical exercise) can be a great distraction from worry as it forces the mind to attend to the body and the breathing...certainly a very effective stress reduction and relaxation tool... generally cheaper than other professional interventions...less expensive than group psychotherapy?!

~Remember I was complaining after my Dance Party incident last week? Well- "Shame on me!" for complaining about getting OLD blah-blah-blah...& all my aches and pains... Why???

Just take a look at this inspiring* SUPER Grandma :

Meet Yoga instructor Bette Calman, 83 yrs young! She's still bending over backwards to spread the benefits of the ancient Yoga discipline...

She said, "I'm proof that if you keep at it, you'll get there. I can do more now than I could 50 years ago..."

She still teaches up to 11 yoga classes a week. We're never too old & the body is really a remarkable instrument...

Wow-wee! ...she can really pull some poses without messing her set-hair and pearl earrings! ~"You go girl !!!"

~INSPIRING* indeed !!!

... The darn Monday gets me down yet again...

Feel-good hormones NOT working!

Getting my spirit up seems like an impossible task today...

And just in case you find it hard too...errr

-Is there any way to chase the Monday blues away ???

...here's to Monday! Ouch!!

This is how Monday looks like...

"...did someone leave a dead-fish somewhere?" ~hee*

I am not a violent person at all...but I feel like giving Monday
a big tight SLAP sometimes... 'whackkk !!!'

Have you ever forced yourself to put on a smile before???
I was doing it today...it's quite tedious...

I really-really need someone to say,
"Give me your hand & I'll show you the most beautiful sky
on this BLUE Monday..."
.
YES please...pretty pleasssssse......
~Forgive me for this 'pity-party' darlings....
Hopefully a more cheerful* Tuesday will knock at my door very soon! -knocking, ringing, even BANGing loudly at the the door...I don't really care, just show up ASAP*...okie!
