i was reading over at nongirlfriend about the fact that miss manners wrote a little somethin' somethin' about blogging. Friends are not the ideal receptacles for daily confidences that keep making these points, as it does not take long to discover. Their minds wander, causing them to misunderstand or forget what they were told. They are especially prone to forgetting they were told not to tell others. Their emotions don't always come out the way they were supposed to, and they make irritating … [Read more...]

i'm not religious, let me make that clear. but the thought that a country would cancel christmas is just wrong. i'm a HUGE fan of christmas, HUGE. i can't wait until christmas every year. i make a christmas cd, i buy way too many presents, i send christmas cards. i understand that for many, christmas is very religious. but for me, it's not. it's all about santa claus, snow and children. someone aught to take those politicians and smack them. what are they thinking? … [Read more...]

i'm so glad that my week is finally over. i'm glad my dad is better, or on his way to better... it makes things easier. now i have to go to the therapist and answer to all the stupid things i did. all the things that are counter productive to my emotional well being. the rocker thing, the dad thing... i may not be happy with what happened at the hospital. but i'm not upset with calling the rocker. i like having things hit me upside the head. i like reminders that i made the right … [Read more...]

here is what i learned this weekend in a nutshell. get the full story from an impartial party don't give into guilt, emotion, or hysteria... stand your ground let someone else handle it. it will get done, even if you don't do it. if you feel a personal pity party coming on, take a walk until it goes away no one takes care of you but you. when your gut tells you to leave, LEAVE when your best friend tells you to leave, LEAVE RIGHT NOW there is a time and a place for everything people who love … [Read more...]

so this morning i was paying the rest of my monthly bills, and i decided to take a peek at my balance on my car loan. it said, loan balance: $1.09, next payment $423.54 on August 6 so you know what i did? i paid off my car loan. i paid the $1.09, and then the whole loan account went away... it was so cool! my car is now free and clear. all the little bumps and bruises that once happened to someone elses car, now are all mine. i bet i'm even going to get a new title now, one that says … [Read more...]

tonight we had persian again. it was very good. i really enjoyed it. we have a new girl joining us. she is very sweet. she had a baby around the same time that andrea did. it really changes the conversation. don't get me wrong. i don't mind the conversation. it's just, we talk about marriage and babies more than we used to. with me having neither, it makes it hard. tonight was really hard. every time andrea mentions the fact that our friend paul is marrying the girl he met after the … [Read more...]
