Why do I do this?

I stress about stuff. Stuff I can't always control.

Like right now. PL. I'm stressing about earning this trip to Los Cabos. I need 3 people to start, and 2 have so far, but neither has actually qualified, which they also need to do. Then I need a 3rd. A person contacted me, and she is trying to put together enough sales to qualify by March 30. But who knows. I've talked to all 3, and they are all trying, so I need to just let that go.

Then there is the part about earning DH's trip for a discount. Right now, assuming all 3 of the above people qualify, I have earned my trip, and his for a slight discount. But at the beginning, we agreed to only go if we could get his trip for a significant discount. Right now I'm quite a bit away from getting to that goal. So what do I do? Stress about it. I have 5 shows on my calendar between now and March 29. Will that be enough? I don't know. But I can't let it go.

Guess it's the overachiever in me. Failing is not an option. My mind accepts that if I earn this trip, but not DHs at the buy in I want, that is not failing. But my emotional side doesn't.

So I am staying positive, and looking forward to the next 10 days!

Hey, anyone need any candles?

Good luck!

Sorry, I don't need any candles. I am a horrible, evil candle owner. I buy them because they're pretty and they smell good, but then I don't burn them because they'll be gone and I don't want them all used up because then I won't have them anymore. Instead, they sit and collect dust. :D

I can't help either. We've actually had to pitch some candles.

But you'll do it, sweetie. Remember the Serenity Prayer!
