11 July 2009 ~ Saturday








The day that never ended...
Started out by meeting Tonia early in morning, and going to Lone Star Lake in Suffolk with her and Tony for hiking and picture taking! Lot's of fun, and not a big bug problem. Then home to get ready for tonight's outting...as the Avaiation Dance was cancelled we are instead getting together for dinner at Bravo Cucina at Town Square in Virginia Beach. The other group will be upstairs at Funny Bones.
Bridget, Dianna, Dawn, Carol & Vickie; John, Brian, David & Walt

Dinner was nice. Afterwards we walked the the gellato and Stonecold then back to the square for conversation and music. We were joined by the group from upstairs and when then headed out...

Added Howard, Anita, Alyson, & Carin. First stop was Keegan's, place was so loud there was no way of having any conversation...but we did actually have a table, not enough chairs, but we had a table.

Enough of that so we meet up at Stooges, now there are two locations, and most of us made it to the correct one on the first attempt! Where we were joined by a freind of Howards, and Surprise! Tony and Tonia walked in!

But the karaoke was so bad we had to leave...
that put's us into Sunday! And dinner was at six!

10 July 2009 ~ Friday



Dan came over and we went out to DW's Grill for dinner...of course we had to detour via Ollie's

Came home and I prepped the Movie Swing Vote but he stayed in the kitchen for what seemed like forever and played with the dogs! Finally he just left! WTF? YipEE!

What Ever!

09 July 2009 ~ Thursday

I don't remember a thing!
Which is precisely the reason why you are supposed to keep up with this on a daily basis!

08 July 2009 ~ Wednesday


Dan came over and we watched the movie Transporter 3.

07 July 2009 ~ Tuesday



My first set of "Me Pages" are complete and ready to go out in the mail!

Movie with Tiffany & Tonia at Cinema Cafe, "Ghoast of Girlfriends Past" A pretty good movie.

Poor Tonia, always has her food order messed up!

06 July 2009 ~ Monday



Supposed to be a recouperation day

Sunday, July 5

05 July 2009 ~ Sunday

Well I finally managed to catch seven hours of sleep, not uninterupped by Gizzy but in total. Never again go to the beach for the fourth of July fireworks!

And then the weren't that good to begin with. But the people were great so I guess that's what matters.

Concert this evening.

04 July 2009 ~ Saturday






Indenpendence Day~ Fireworks on the Virginia Beach boardwalk.

Even ran into Chris at Zero's

03 July 2009 ~ Friday

It's done it's over, I am so over his games...so I gave him a deadline of August 1, either he's back home or it's done forever. I'm so sick of this. He couldn't be bothered with me last night, to have at least called to let me know 1-that his sorry ass was ok, or two that he wasn't coming over after all. But his sorry ass could go have a few drinks at the bar, and not bother to even answer my phone call. Nope,...that certainly made tonight's decision a whole easier on me. AND then this morning when he said he doesn't "HAVE" to answer my phones calls, pretty much said a lot right there.

I finally figured out and made him see where things started going south, and guess what...it was his fault! His little blond, and he had to admit it this time it was true. I didn't even get into what did or didn't happen as I really just don't care anymore, the point was "SHE" happened and that was it. She certainly wasn't all of it, but she dammed sure was the downhill swing!

His little fling in May, well, she cleared up to me that the bubble was burst on my one thing I had held onto for all those years...that someday I would be his wife...I just haven't felt that way lately, I guess that really was the last I believed in him, because once I said it, it didn't upset me at all, Aug 1 or done! I new it was done before I said it. This time there's no more tears left.

And more lies caught last night would include, on the phone yesterday morning he said his girlfriend came to see his mom, yet last last night when he was supposed to be telling me the truth, he said that while he was in Indy at Scot's he got a text so he went to see her new house and they went out to dinner. I wonder what part of what of that is actually the truth. Clearly it doesn't really matter as they have not stopped their little pow wow's since may so F uk him! just one more of his stories...

Thursday, July 2

02 July 2009 ~ Thursday

So I talk to the jerk at midnight, says he left Dad's and stopping for dinner, he's gonna stop and sleep for a few before heading out again. I call him again about nine, wake him up, ask where he's at and I get "I don't know"...what ever, but he wasn't interested in talking to me.

So at 10:42 I was walking to the mailbox and called again figuring I'd talk to him while he was driving, no answer, so I called again, this time he answered, said he was having brekfast with Mike and Lynn in VB. Guess he wasn't to far away when he took his nap.

So now what kind of games is he playing? Who exactly was he with when I woke him up that he didn't want to talk to me then? Then he wonders why I can't trust him?

I'm sick of his games and I'm changing my plans for Friday, KMA MF!

Be daring...

Quote for Wednesday, July 1


Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary. (Cecil Beaton)


01 July 2009 ~ Wednesday

We are offically into the Christmas in JULY! My first set of cards are ready and going out in todays mail!

30 June 2009 ~ Tuesday

Today was an interesting day at the office, I guess it was more of a utility day than a work day. SInce I screwed up and forget about filing the taxes I spent the morning trying to locate a tax form...this is our lovely IRS's way of forcing you into signing up for electronic transfers...the form must be from them, you cannot download it from the internet.

Call the accountants...no they don't have it either as the IRS won't send them out. So i go visit the IRS office which fortanely is just down the street...lucked out only one person in front of me. THey have the form...then they want the tax id number, well I didn't take it with me, why would I. It's an IRS FOrm, it's not a f'n loan! "We don't give out forms with out the tax id #!" So I called the office and got it. But what the fuck, what do they think I'm going to do with the form????
And of course you only get two copies, because after all we wouldn't want you to sell them on the black market....

And the IRS has gotten user friendly over the past few years?????

SO I walked back to the office, cooled down then took the check and walked to the bank to make the deposit, then back to the office, figured I wasn't getting anything done anyway, so I went to Costco for supplies and lunch! Got my hotdog!

While at Costco I thought that since we apparently are the only one's working on Friday, that I would get lunch for friday, so I grabbed hot dogs and buns! So when I got back to the office I announced; "I have hot dogs for lunch for Friday" and the rest just took off on it's own! We will have our own little picnic!

I did finally get back to work mode and managed to get some reconciliatons done!

Monday, June 29

29 June 2009 ~ Monday

I'm tired. Too much to do and just can't get organized to do it all. Fixing that, by hosting a pot luck on 26 July! That gives me three weeks to get my act together!

Well, at least I now have one groups Christmas in July cards addressed! I recievd mine from Brian in NJ today. I just can't post mark mine until JULY though...so that's my excuse!

Tiffany and the new guy were supposed to get together tonight!

Sunday, June 28

28 June 2009 ~ Sunday

Sunday, fially found a copy of the movie M Drive and basiclly it sucks! I'm trying to figure out anything that was great about it and haven't found it yet...maybe I have the title wrong and this is just close, will have to look it up.

Having lunch with Beth, then meeting the group for dinner at Hilltop.

Orapax for dinner tonight...should be interesting. At least I know they have chicken on the menu. ----So I had the gyro pita and the chicken pita...skip the fries and chicken pita next time, and remember to order without lettuce!

I believe that twenty four of thirty showed up...that's a darn good turnout!
I left Gizzy loose and haven't found anything torn up yet...yet...yet...

Thanks to Andrea I am down to only six unsolved questions from last Novembers audit!

25 June 2009 ~ Thursday



Just another day at work, that somehow managed to fly by. Thanks to Andrea's help I was able to make progress on moving my piles and was able to file about twelve of the twenty inches of assorted accounts! Yah! Must have been something in the air, because even Margret cleaned off her desk and re organized it, I had never seen it without all the garbage on it so it was amazing!

Strange day for Hollyweird...both Farah Fawcet and Michael Jackson died.

Day 2 for Gizzy in her cage!

Moments

Every moment is a dot in the painting of our lives.
Each dot a circle that is never-ending, surrounding the gift of creation. (Kathleen Arnason)

If I


Think about this for a minute...  If I happened to show up on your door step crying,  Would you Care?

If I called you and asked you to pick me up because something Happened,  Would you come?

If I had one day left, to live my life; 
Would you be part of That last day?

If I needed a shoulder to cry on,
Would you give me Yours?

This I s a test to see who your real friends are or if you are just someone to talk to you when they are bored  Send this to Everybody on your list including the person who sent it to you.

I just Did.....because you are my friend.
------------- ------------ ------------
Do you know what the relationship is between your two eyes?

They blink together, they move together, they cry together.
They see things together and they sleep together,

BUT THEY NEVER SEE EACH OTHER
.. that's what friendship is.

Your aspiration is your motivation,
your motivation is your belief,
your belief is your peace,
your peace is your target,
your target is heaven,
and
life is like hell without it.

It's ' World Best Friends Week'.

Who is your best friend?

Send this to all Your good friends. Even me, if I am one of them.
See how many you get back.. If you get more than 3 then you really are a lovable person...

Save the Earth.... it's the only planet with chocolate!!! !

Steak for dinner tonight, just have to find the potatoes under all the roots

The yard was magically transformed while I was at work today...the neighbors are happy! No more unrully shrubs that have taken over, I do seem to have lost the bunnys and frogs that were in the front shrubs...I was just trying to be green and save the planet! That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

23 June 2009 ~ Tuesday

Open mic night at the library

I had time to spare as Tiff was supposed to let the dogs out, so I stopped at the thrift store insead of going to Michaels or AC Moore so I wouldn't buy anything for scrap booking. So of course I walk in the door only to find a huge bag of 60 wood stamps of assorted sizes for only $25.00. SOLD!

Then I found some Zipper Binders 4/$10. Love zippers. Not the prettiest binders but perfect for the price!

Started watching the movie Doubt, twice!...boring, will try one more time.

Gizzy

Gizzy is in the cage!  She's really going to hate me when I get home!

Monday ~ Sucky day! Looking forward to going scrapping this evening.

Dan wants to pick up his things tonight; he should make an appointment not a demand, and check to see if I have plans first.


You flip flop on wanting a relationship and it's killing me, I can't do it anymore. But you didn't flip flop on going to spend the weekend with someone else, so I guess that says more about where you really want to be. I'm not seconds...never again. YOU made that choice now live with it. Congratulations to you...you committed to something and you followed through...big fucking mistake...but hey it's your mistake to deal with, not mine.

You justify yourself saying that it was none of my business, but you made it my business when you first told me about your little trip - the lie - and then every day when you told me you loved me and wanted to spend the rest of your life with me ---but the entire time, it was just bullshit as you had your little weekend planned to be with some one else!

And I'm supposed to believe in any way that I’m of value to you? For six years you have never trusted me, and yet you do something like this and I'm supposed to trust in you. I'm supposed to just accept that you needed this to figure out how you feel about me???? Do I look stupid? But I will tell you this; you certainly busted my bubble of the one thing that I had held onto no matter what for all these years. I no longer see myself as becoming your wife. It was one thing thinking that you were taking her to see your parents, but to know that the entire time you were telling me how much you loved me and wanted to be with me, that it was all contingent on your being with her first, and you weren’t' going to break that date - nope -- doesn't leave much for me.

It just shows that you may talk a lot of bs, about how you feel about me, but it's not true. You don't tell one person how much you love them and want to be with them the whole time having a plan to go fuck someone else. Why did you lie to me about it for all those weeks? Just to hurt me...well you did a good job. You certainly followed through on that one. You wonder why I have so little trust in you...well take a look! You lied to me about it because you knew that if I knew, then I would have had nothing to do with you and it would have been over as soon as you told me your REAL plans.

I'm so tired of hearing about how your friends don't like me...such a group of winners that you have as friends, the one that uses your girlfriend’s toothbrush, the unemployed one that steals your vehicle, and the druggies! Yep, you can count on these folks being there for you now that I'm out of the picture. Tell me hon, which of them HAS NOT come to you for a handout in the past two months?

And now after all this time, MY friends and family don't care for you either, but I never felt the need to keep repeating it to you. While I may love you deeply, I haven't been in love with you for a very long time. If only my brain could let go once my heart does, my life would be so much easier. How much longer was I supposed to wait for you to put a ring on my finger? Clearly it wasn’t important enough to you, but I will tell you this; you certainly busted my bubble of the one thing that I had held onto no matter what for all these years. I no longer see myself as becoming your wife.

07 June 2009 ~ Sunday

Tonight I get to sleep in peace ~ this lousy relationship with Dan is finally over. No more of his lies, his jealously, his cheating and his his! You drug me down long enough. You have blamed me, rejected me, and put others before me...no more. No more not wanting to come home at night, I can look forward to coming home knowing that I won't have to pretend to be something I'm not, just so I don't hurt your feelings.

Oh, this is just to good to be true, you have just deleted yourself from my facebook page, good, save's me the trouble, as I couldn't figure out how to do it last week.

Mamogram again this morning, the lump has shrunk since last Thursday, Ultrasound show's it's just a cyst.

Nah,don't do needles.

Tomorrow night's crop was just cancelled.

        Bummed out on the couch with the newspapers today, one big stack has been greatly reduced, I don't remember the last time that I read a newspaper on the day!

        ...OMG! Princess just did a complete Howl/growl! Only the second time ever...I guess she was tired of talking to me and just got to the point! She wanted a bis-cute! Just never have the video at the right time...she has been very talkitative the last couple of weeks.

        Had a good time at Funnybone tonight. Don't know what happened to the waiter, he never did come back to get the food order.
        Great comedy for a change that wasn't all dirty! Wow, it can be done.

        The camera arrived earlier,  I wasn't expecting it to be so small, it's not any bigger than a stack of about six credit cards...picking the red was the right choice, just so I will be able to see it!   .aaah the battery is now charged and the disc arrived seperatly a little while ago...

        The aim of an argument


        The aim of an argument or discussion should not be victory, but progress.


        Jumpstart Your Book of Me!

        by Angie Pedersen (Feb 28, 2003)

        Many people are excited about the prospect of preserving the memories of their lives, but they just don't know where to start. They feel overwhelmed by the thought of chronicling their entire life. But you don't have to start at the beginning and work your way through! Start with some easy, fun layouts, and then move on once you have a plan for the rest of your stories.

        1. Journal about the meaning of your name. Research it at www.namestusa.com. Journal about how you feel about your name, why your parents chose it, and/or if you think the meaning is true for you.
        2. Write about your favorite color. What does that color make you think of? Which of your possessions are this color?
        3. Consider where you'd like to travel in your lifetime. What sites would you like to see? What would you eat? Who would go with you? Gather some travel brochures and journal your plans!
        4. List what you love about each season. Think about what you eat at certain times of the year, places you go, music you listen to, and things you see. Take pictures and include those!
        5. Jot down your 5-10 "Everyday Movies" -- what movies could you watch everyday and not get tired of them?
        6. What are your "Creature Comforts"? What things do you find immediately comforting? Think comfy clothes, foods, books, bubble baths, beauty treatments, etc.
        7. Ponder what you would do if you won the lottery. What would you spend it on? Include price tags, since money will be no object! Would you share it, and with whom? Would you quit your job? How would it change your life?
        8. Do a layout on your dream job(s). What did you want to be when you grew up? What do you dream of doing now?
        9. List the Top 25 Things to Do in my Lifetime. Then include the dates of when you accomplish them!

        ok mind just went blank...

        LIFE AS A SKETCH

        Developing a composition is a continuous flow of ideas, where the artist combines, adds, reduces, adapts and discards the various elements in an unending discovery of new possibilities.

        No, he is not worth the bother. He likes to play games because it makes him feel big. More power to him, now, if he would just grow up come pack his shit out of my house, I would never have to see him again.

        15 May 2009 ~ Friday

        So I choose not to go scrapbooking so I can get my life in order tonight. He wants to be together, but just don't want to...blah, blah. So tonight is it one way or another all or nothing, you have fucked with my emotions for the past three weeks playing your we are ment to be together game.

        You are not leaving tonight until it's all or nothing.

        14 May 2009 ~ Thursday

        So you break up with the jerk, he comes back to get his belongings seems like one at a time, and EVERY SINIGLE TIME he makes little inunendos about how we belong together...but does he mention the entire time that he already has himself another little girlfriend? of course not.

        Taking that photo just got easier...I went ahead and orded the camera from Costco, it should be here next week...and while I was there, I went ahead and ordered the XXL crop tote! Couldn't find anything else to match size/price anywhere else.

        Project 365 is supposed to be a photo a day...I guess that would be a whole lot easier if I actually had a camera to use...

        It's Mother's Day...Tiff is supposed to be here at 8:30 to take me to breakfast!

        Gizzy thought we should be up by 5:30 this morning...well, at least I have most of the Sunday paper read...Daddy is picking up Gizzy to go to the park today! Maybe that will totally exhaust her for a few hours...right!

        09 May 2009 ~ Saturday

        Today we had the self defense class for the office. We had a blast! Then went to Ruby Tuesday's for lunch. Tomorrow is JoAnne's birthday.

        Went to Ollie's...bad move...$$$. Then went to Joann's. did much better there! not much to choose from.

        Tiff came by with chikfilet...her boyfriend picked her up to go out!

        More organizing in the AM...managed to put the table cloth out in the den! I would really like to be able to work from my desk in the office, so I need to get it a little more organized to be able to pull in the scrapping stuff and have it workable. I want six inch hinged attachments to add to the legs of the table in the den so I work standing up, or maybe some eight inch blocks with the middle carved out that I can attach to the legs...may a set of bed risers would work...mmm... I'm thinking too early in the morning...

        But what if I fail of my purpose here?

        But what if I fail of my purpose here?
        It is but to keep the nerves at strain,
        to dry one's eyes and laugh at a fall,
        and baffled, get up and begin again.

        Ever failed?

        Ever tried? Ever failed?
        No matter.
        Try Again.
        Fail again. Fail better.

        More organizing this morning, I really need to get rid of all the portables and just pack the individual items I will be using for each crop...just have to figure out how to do that! Sorta getting better at it.

        Tiff says she's coming over Sunday and we are cropping...

        05 May 2009 ~ Tuesday

        I actually woke up this morning before Gizzy, a whole hour before gizzy's time~Of course as soon as I sat up she was ready to go!

        Zero pages tonight, but we did start getting things organized again.

        Gizzy somehow managed to find the last of the reese pieces that I had burried in my stuff,

        04 May 2009 ~ Monday

        So what is with Gizzy playing with a snake in the house! good thing Dan was there or she might have had to move out with the snake, he said it was already dead and it looked like it was, but was it when it came into the house? Just how did it get into the house and did it have any friends...this is the part where now I don't take off my shoes in house...

        Speaking of shoes, apparently i didn't get the bedroom door closed tight enough this morning so Gizzy had one of my NEW shoes on the couch, then in the bedroom she proceded to chew apart the twenty year old six pack of coke! Never seen that one coming.

        Dan packed out more of his stuff, bet he got wet unloading it!

        3 pages completed - for me this time~

        So Dave comes down Sunday morning and cuts the rest of the grass for the "old lady" down the steet...he siad it's gonna cost me! yep...I'll get him back for that one. In his effert to make me self sufficient - like I have asked him for anything - he attached a little set of grips to my lawn mower so that I will be able to cut the entire front yard next time, and not have to stop due to not being able to hold the go lever long enough! And what was it I didn't like about the idea of condo living? It's starting to sound good to me right now... then again I could just hire someone RELIABLE to show up to cut the grass for a lot less than the monthly condo fees.
