"You get the day off!!!!"

So if most people get a snow day they are SO excited to be in their pi's and go back to bed or read or lounge around-do WHATEVER they want! Well, THOSE people must be on salary! So I got a snow day today and sure it's fun to not have to go to work but the roads were drivable and now I'm out over $100 from my paycheck! My idiotic boss also decided not to let me know I didn't have to come in until I was already up, dressed and had my car warming up! So it's hard to be super HAPPY AND ECSTATIC for this 'day off'.

I'm dying for a friend to do lunch with-but everyone sucks! Why is it so hard to find a great girl that likes to laugh and hang out and isn't so full of herself that she blogs about her "awesome tits" or isn't so withdrawn that she only hangs out with her father husband. People are so fucking screwed up. I am the easiest person to get along with, I'm so fun and funny and NICE-I'm freaking NICE. Nicer than most people you will ever meet but can I find one decent friend? NOPE! I'm so pissed that my husband had to go into work today. He is my one perfect mate and thank God I found him!

Drugs not hugs

So, I started taking a new happy pill and it's working...30% of the time. The other 70% is complete mood swings, withdrawal from the old pill, and just plain feeling weird. I hope it stops soon because the times I am happy are really good.

Excited for this weekend! Shopping Sat. at Beachwood with Goose. Possibly going out to dance Saturday night and hopefully shopping Sunday with CF. This week is going fast so I hope tomorrow goes the same and then bring on the weekend!

I'm also looking forward to February-lots of fun things planned too. Our 12 year anniversary, Valentine's Day and the comedy club with new friends!

Miss Road and I broke it down at Zumba tonight-straight buzzing robotussin

Random Thoughts

So today was a normal day-pretty boring. It was raining and chilly all day and all I wanted to do was go home and go to bed. But, alas, it was water aerobics night. Well, Miss Road mentioned getting her nails done before class and I was in. We got this new shellac polish that dries instantly and lasts 2 weeks plus. I got this great neutral nude shade and I love it. The best part is you have to go back to the salon to get them off and then I will get a new color put on for V-day! I'm excited for February-I have a great day planned for Goose and I and he's planning another day. It will be filled with pink and hearts and love <3

Water aerobics got postponed for us :) because we took too long at the nail salon. We vowed to go tomorrow, Fri and Saturday to make up for it.

I'm off to WW meeting Thurs night before tennis. I hope it's a good one, I'm ready to get back into this.

Mornings

Why does Miles not ruin my morning but doesn't fail to ruin Goose's every day? It gets frustrating when he lets the dog dictate where he sits and whether or not he talks to me. Just DEAL WITH IT. SO ANNOYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stanley, Schnauzy and the Rite Aid lady

Don't you love when strangers can totally make your day and they don't even know it? There is this guy that lives here and walks his dog. I see him a lot when I'm walking our pup. He looks just like Stanley from The Office and he has a schnauzer which I've named "Schnauzy" He waved to me today in my car and it totally made my night! That brings me to the second part of my title-the Rite Aid lady.

Goose (my husband) wanted a Sunday paper so we stopped at Rite Aid. There was an older lady working and boy was she bitter about her life. When we walked up to check out she rudely stated that she could take us "over there" which was the opposite check out of where she was standing. Then Goose starts to put our stuff on the counter and she commands another rude comment which after asking her to repeat it was "Don't knock my heater off the counter!" Um, ok, we weren't planning on it. So as she's ringing our items up I had a thought. I wonder if someone smiled or said a kind word if she would have a change of heart. Well, my opportunity came-she sneezed! I smiled and said "Bless you!" loud enough to make sure I knew she heard me. Wow-what a difference! We were about done at that point and she said about five nice things to us as we were leaving "Be careful out there, have a good night, etc" I smiled to myself and just hoped I had made a difference in her life that night, because she sure made one in mine.

Do something or just shut up

Do you know those people who always have a life crisis and they talk about it and you listen-you think long and hard about how to help them, the best advice, etc Then you tell them what you think and all of your great ideas and then they just half listen and DO NOTHING? I am so sick of people like this! Sure, we ALL have problems but if you aren't willing to do anything to change it, please stop wasting my time talking to me about it.

So, along these same lines-I want to lose weight. I lost 42 pounds on Weight Watchers a couple years ago and slowly (not so slowly in my mind) gained it all back :( I've been working out regularly and loving it but in order for me to lose weight I need to be on an eating program and I believe WW is the best. I am going to start back tomorrow with a meeting at 5:30. I am vowing to lose the weight this time and KEEP IT OFF for good! So, I've been talking about losing weight for a while now-and now I'm doing something about it! See? It's not that hard ;)

"Friends"

Hello and welcome to my very first blog. I hope to post often because I have a lot of extra free time on my hands and I feel the need to have an outlet for my feelings and Facebook just wasn't cutting it. I don't know if I'll even tell anyone I know about this blog-I'm sure many names may need to be changed if I do and even then people will probably know who/what I'm talking about. I will state right now I am not a writer by any means. There will be plenty of grammar and perhaps spelling mistakes and I'm sure I won't make sense sometimes. I'm sure my thoughts will be scattered and a mish mash of ideas. This blog is more for me than anyone else. Nevertheless, here goes.

So, the title of this blog is specific and quotes are definitely intentional. I used to have a best friend who recently "dumped" me over email. You may ask "why?" and I have a few ideas but honestly when it comes right down to it, I don't really honestly know. I've talked to many people about the situation and they have great input and advice-"she couldn't handle you being happy when she wasn't or that you have the life she wanted" or "she lacks the insight to see why she can't be a friend to you right now" and I believe both are very true but it doesn't make it any less painful. I "unfriended" her on facebook which felt good for the moment but I just found myself going to her page and looking at her most recent pics and feeling sad all over again. I don't understand why it's so hard to find a good friend that you can count on and trust and just plain have fun with. Am I that hard to get along with?

Then you have my so-called friends. They never seem to have time for me and just seem to want to do their own thing. Ok, I get it, I want to do that sometimes too, but come on I NEED GIRLFRIENDS. I've met plenty of people who are nice and all but no one seems to "get" me. I can't find anyone that truly shares my interests and feelings and personality, etc. I always thought that was pretty easy to find because I feel like a pretty normal person-but let me tell you-it's near impossible! Or my so-called friends will do stuff IF I make the plans and IF it's something they feel like doing. Anyway, I just don't get it and I'm tired of trying to find a new best friend. I keep telling myself that the acquaintances I have are enough and that I need to be less picky when it comes to meeting people and I just need to be open to all people and all "fun" that could possibly be had with anyone. Easier said than done. I've discovered I'm an HSP-highly sensitive person. The littlest things can hurt my feelings-the way someone says something, the look on their face when they say it, stupid fb comments, etc. I try not to be so sensitive but that's like trying to be taller.

I have a great life and I'm happy in general but I just am missing a great girlfriend in my life-to share everything with. To go to Target and movies and dinner and shopping with. I'm not completely giving up yet, but it's getting easier to just be lonely.
