The Excorism Of Whiplash Lopenski

I'm getting my shit together for another trip to Tucson, and I'm super excited!

*insert sarcasm here*

I was just there a couple of weeks back for my aunt's 50th birthday party. It was nice visiting the fam while I was there, but there were a few events that made the time there turn sour. I know I get my hopes up quite often, so I've welcomed frustration as a common factor of my life. But I do have to say that one incident in particular opened up my eyes to the learned behavior/emotional baggage that has plagued me for 33 years of my life: the excuse card.

There are certain members of my family who love to play the "excuse card". And even go to the point of living their lives by this rule. It's really quite annoying and unflattering. Ugh, I don't even want to think about it so I'm going to exhale all of the bad vibes, and inhale positive energies.

*calm*

*breathe*

Oh my, I think it's working!
