I've gotta tell you about Marzena Mulawka. Here's a young lady who was driving on a snow covered I-80 near Pittsburgh last January when her car slid off the road and crashed into the guard rail.
That's bad, right? It gets worse --
The guard rail tore through her car door and cut off her right leg, shattered her left leg, and broke her pelvis and back. Since then the 26-year old has had 8 surgeries and intense physical therapy.
She's happy to be alive and ready to take on the world.
But then this -- a bill from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation for $2,509.42 to...PAY FOR THE DAMAGED GUARDRAIL.
Marzena: "I'm the type of person who looks at the glass as being half-full. But come on, already...I can't believe they would have sent something like that."
A PennDOT spokesman says the matter is under review.

Got something big on your plate today? Here are four ways to avoid choking under pressure! (insert your blog address)

Four Reasons Why You Choke Under Pressure!
Sian Beilock wrote an entire book dedicated to why we choke under pressure, and a lot of it has to do with the prefrontal cortext, or the front part of our brain that stops working the way it should.
She found a way around this, though, and here are a few tips:
Close the Gap Between Practice and Competition, meaning practice under stress to get used to the pressure of competition.
Don't Dwell. Take the last performance and change how you think about it. Learn from what went wrong. Dwelling on the past sends the mind and body into a helpless state.
Focus on the Outcome and stay away from the mechanics. Focus on what you WANT to say to a client, and NOT what you DON'T want to say.
Write it Out. Writing out worries and stressful events help increase working memory and may even prevent other parts of your life from creeping in and distracting you under stress (spouse, kids, house, etc)
CELEBRITY TWEETS
New hook up -- John Mayer and Kim Kardashian. The two have gone out on a few dates and "hit it off," according to TMZ.com.
Christina Aguilera says it's been hard just to get out of bed ever since she split from her husband. "There have been a lot of tears and sadness," she tells Redbook.
