New Year

Posted in Here at 9:50 am by Think-Tink

It is kind of weird but in some ways I am starting out the new year different than last year even though I am living in the same place, have the same job and have no boyfriend…

I learned from the former boyfriend that honesty is a matter of perspective and that even if you say what you mean, it can be taken other than how it is meant.

I have learned that even though things change at work and can look like history repeating itself, it definitely isnt.

I have learned that relationships of any sort are just weird.  I don’t think that there is a “normal” relationship out there.  I think being happy is key and if you are that is all that matters.

People of all types can be irritating.  There are enough people who are nice and wonderful around to make up for them.

My bills are all paid and I have some savings.  This is a good thing.

Happy New Year to you and yours.  Find reasons to be positive, I am truly starting to believe that positive attracts positive.

It’s truly unfair to be sick in free time off.  I am not appreciative of whatever family member who gave me this cold.

The Last Templar is a very good book.

Why would someone go off on their own and not tell anyone where they are or that they are going?

Water gets old after a while

It is as I predicted, i have been doing things but haven’t accomplished anything this week yet.

Here, There, Everywhere

Posted in Here, There at 8:24 pm by Think-Tink

Whew, I am so glad that the weekend is over.  Don’t get me wrong, it was wonderful.  Family and food always make for a good time.

It was kind of weird that I had a meal for the first time with my step sister and her hubby and one of her daughters.  My dad and stepmother have been married at least 20 years.  It is kind of cute that my stepmother’s grandchildren call her Honey.

My father’s family gathered for the traditional Christmas eve again.  It was a wonderful time.  Luke 2 is always read by my uncle and this year he cassette recorded it for a cousin who couldn’t be there.

The drive up and back was uneventful.  The weather on the way back yesterday was terrible for me.  At least by the time SB was coming through it was alot better.

My nieces love their afghans.

Food Coma!

Posted in Food at 8:01 am by Think-Tink

I am coming back around after spending the past few days in a food coma.  It was all really, really good, but now thank goodness for elastic waisted pants.  Country ham biscuits rock!  If you have never had the pleasure of a ham biscuit, you are majorly missing out.

Early day thoughts…

I don’t have to set an alarm for 2 weeks!!  Thank you Gov. Kaine.

I will be able to sleep in about the time I have to set the alarm again.

Presents are wrapped, last one should be delivered today.

I left one wreath up at work.  Can’t have the place be completely boring when I go back in January.

Does it matter if a ferret or a pit bull puppy knawed off a baby’s toes?  Her toes are still gone.

SB’s new car is pretty.

Weird to be blogging at this time of day.

My desk is a mess.

For the first time in years, I let my brain’s (other wise known as my pda) batteries completely die.   I never do that.

Perrier Lime and Kirsch is really good but it hits you very fast.

Bad Pennies

Posted in Dating at 11:07 pm by Think-Tink

Anime Man gave me the just friends speech a little over 2 weeks ago.  He is taking the friends thing seriously as in the past 2 weeks I have gotten at least 3 instant message from him.   I was trying to ignore them.  Today for some reason I answered.  He asked if I was still mad and I said I wasn’t mad just hurt and disillusioned.  I also said I did not want to be friends.  Anime Man is a nice guy but not for me.

I have done the “just” friends things and it doesn’t work.  One became almost a stalker type.  One thought that I would put out whenever he happened to call.  I am not putting myself through something like that again.  As Anime Man’s friend kept asking about what we had in common, and it isn’t enough to keep up a friendship.

My unbusy weekend became busy…

Posted in Uncategorized at 10:59 pm by Think-Tink

Somehow I went from having not really anything scheduled to be being out and about both yesterday and today.  I had to finish up some shopping, work on some ornaments, and most of all take rides in SB’s new car.  It is pretty.

Today was the Christmas Cantata at SB and PR’s church.  It was really beautiful.  The pastor they have there now is really good.  Unlike some others, he shows his personality through everything.  He isn’t all stiff and formal.  He jokes from the pulpit and gets into the spirit of what is going on.  He heard that the choir was wearing formal clothes today and he put his tux on too.  The congregation is taking to it in that I have had people talking to me now that havent in all the years I have been going to hear PR and SB.  There was guinine laughter at the pastor saying his name wasn’t on the choir roster and he was not singing a solo.   It wasn’t forced like it has been on other occasions that I have been there.  I have also seen more people there than probably in the past year.

Awful lunch

Posted in Food at 10:10 pm by Think-Tink

SB and I were running some errands at lunch today like, it seemed, everyone else in the Hampton Roads area (and they were all on 21st Street!).  We got Revog’s presents off to her, she should get it Tuesday or so via UPS.  We got to the bank, then we decided that to quell rumbling tummies we would “run” into Wendy’s for something to go.

We get in there and at 12:15 on a payday Friday, there was 1 cashier.  The line was extremely long and not moving.  The drive though line was wrapped around the building.  We get close to the line and keep hearing people bringing back orders as they were wrong.  The cashier was moving people as fast as she could.  The cooker people were slow as anything.  We finally get our food and it didnt feel warm.  By the time we got it back to work the fries were ice cold.

I swear I am going to give up fast food.  It is getting expensive and there are other healthier choices that are around the same price.

The best way to help feel better about yourself…

Posted in Uncategorized at 10:03 pm by Think-Tink

without eating tons of chocolate and gaining tons of weight is to buy shoes!! Even better they were 60% off.

Really cute ankle boots, with a little bit of a heel.

Been feeling a bit down and self confidence is shot. Having someone say they were only settling for you and that you were the problem, and that something better came along ( is that a man thing? Seems like most of the breaks that have been done to me are because someone “better” came along. Wonder when I am going to be someone’s “better” and not being settled for.

Shoes do make me feel better…Craft stuff does too. I will be doing some of that tomorrow.
