Risk

I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it. - Pablo Picasso
Progress always involves risks. You can't steal second base and keep your foot on first. - Frederick B. Wilcox
Yes, risk-taking is inherently failure-prone. Otherwise, it would be called sure-thing-taking. -
Tim McMahon
A ship in harbor is safe - but that is not what ships are for. - John A. Shedd
To win you have to risk loss. - Jean-Claude Killy
The torment of precautions often exceeds the dangers to be avoided. It is sometimes better to abandon one's self to destiny. - Napoleon Bonaparte
Take risks: if you win, you will be happy; if you lose, you will be wise. - Author Unknown

I like schedules. I don't like to take a 'chance' or 'risk'. Give me a 5-year-plan and I'll be a happy camper.

Weirdness....

Very unusual things happened to me these past few days.

I woke up early to go outside and play with our dog (the fam was gone so she hadn't gotten much attention). This is very unusual for me...I don't like dogs, much less wake up early to play with them!
I saw a dead lamb/small sheep/fuzzy goat/something with fur by the side of the road on my way home. Lamb road kill. Very weird.
I listened to the same song over and over for 45 minutes on my way to town. And it wasn't even country.
Our kitchen lights turned on by themselves...sort of. Go to www.xanga.com/Tallie_girl for the whole story.
I ate at a very expensive Italian restaurant. VERY unusual ;) And I didn't even pay for it. Even better!
I left my lights on in my truck and killed the battery. Not unusual. Unfortunately.

CMA Awards!

Dierks Bentley - I wish he would have gotten Male Vocalist of the Year. Just 'cause that would have been cool....but he did sing, so that made me happy (even if he was better in concert ;)
