Ever have one of those days where you just really don't like the person you've become?  And think about the many things and experiences that have all played a part?  Yeah.  It's been one of those days all week.  I'm not really sure what triggered it.  Hell, I don't even have a valid reason to be in a funk.  Ok, work, yes, but that's a whole ( Read more... )

It's interesting the things/people that pop into your life.  Change is good.  Everyone is unique - it's what makes things so interesting.  It's amazing how you can come home from a really busy and eah kind of day feeling tired and drained, then see an e-mail that just really makes you smile.  I got an e-mail from a new friend and he didn't really ( Read more... )

I had a great night tonight!  I took my sister out to dinner to a new restaurant and it turned out to be really good!  It used to be this really $$$ place to eat, but it went out of business about a year or so ago.  Now it's a sports bar & grill, but they kept all the structures the same.  The food was awsome!  And very affordable too.  We had a ( Read more... )

You know how sometimes you watch a movie and you just have to say, "Yes!  That's exactly it!"  Yeah.  For all the guys out there, "The Break-up" is actually a not such a bad movie to see.  I don't understand why it is so hard for men to realize that it has absolutely nothing to do with the lemons or the dishes or even the ballet.  It's always ( Read more... )

I am beyond stressed right now.  I'm working 2 jobs, trying to do part of my mom's job, trying to council friends having nervous breakdowns, friends having major life-threatening health issues, trying to calm my mom down over major health traumas and get her through a couple surgeries, trying to calm down friends in various hospitals up and down ( Read more... )

Another family reunion coming up!

Who: Anyone who’s just dieing to visit the relatives
Location: Holy Cross Cemetery  
Yes, that’s crass. But I don’t really care at the moment. I’m just so pissed at the world right now and there’s not a soul who understands. Not really, anyway.

I’m procrastinating. I don’t want to pack for this trip. You know, ( Read more... )

"Something's Gotta Give"
--Leann Rimes

Jenny's got a job, a cat named Jake,
31 candles on her birthday cake
Next year

Thought by now she'd have a man
Two car seats and a minivan
But it still ain't here (hey!)

She's been lookin' for Mr. Right so long
But all she's found is Mr. Wrong
That's the pitts

She's drawn a line that she won't cross
Her and time are ( Read more... )

Sometimes I really hate living in today’s society. It has become fundamental for everyone in the household to work. It is nearly impossible to support a family on a single income. And that’s only compounded when you add children into the mix. It’s no wonder that most people are hesitant to get married and start a family. Hell, most people run ( Read more... )

The last two weeks have been quite eye-opening.  Now granted, my methods might not have been entirely desirable, but the end justifies the means, right?  I sought out to find some answers to some really tough issues.  I can’t say I’m surprised at the answers, or even how I came to them.  It took placing myself in the middle of a potentially ( Read more... )

Just when you think you know someone, they turn around and still manage to surprise you.  And sometimes the it's the last person in the world you'd ever dream would be there for you that is surprisingly supportive and helps you through the emotional chaos.  For those of you who didn't know, I've spent the last several days in NJ.  My grandmother ( Read more... )
