A place to share my thoughts & vent my frustrations w/o the structure of other writing. |
| My musings on life, love and other strange and humdrum things in life. |
| Wow, this relocation thing is stressful. I am still not sure how it will work out. I am trying every avenue I know of to arrange a place to live. But, I have faith! I know this is what I am supposed to do and that things will happen in the way that they should. I am just impatient and going a little neurotic in the process! LOL |
| I am having a tiny bit of trouble finding a place to live in San Diego. Probably because I have to locate places for rent, then ask my friend in San Diego to go check them out for me, then try to arrange credit checks, and when they laugh at me, find ways around crappy credit.....hehehe but I love a good challenge. And that is not even the fun part....packing up my stuff, which I am notorious for doing last minute, is gonna be a trick. AHHHHHH! Ok, I feel better now = ) I really just want it to be March, with my car packed, my kids and my dad and my cat all ready to go and be off on a road trip! |
| I am so excited! All those interviews paid off. Now I get to organize my relocation efforts and get my butt to San Diego. It is going to be a challenge, but I am so ready for this. It is a great career move. And I will be closer to loved ones. Another fresh start, how did I get so lucky? |
| I woke up this morning, ended up having to drive the kids to school because we were running so late, and got ready to face another day. I wasn't happy or sad, just glad to be alive and looking forward to what the next few weeks will bring. So I set off to run my errands, do my chores and sort through nearly 7 years worth of crap that has accumulated in bins and boxes. You see I anticipate moving soon, because I have been in the process of trying to get this great job in California. Well, as I was sorting through papers, I came across some old valentines cards I had received.....and it made me feel so good. The quality wasn't all that spectacular, but the sentiments expressed and the effort that went into making them touched my heart and caused happy tears to spring into my eyes unbidden. Yes, I had found the box that contained the art projects my children had made over the years in school. I saw the lovingly constructed valentines cards my sons had made for me, along with the Christmas cards, mothers day cards.....you get the drift. My oldest is 13 now, so he concentrates on his own "valentines" at school, but my youngest is 6, and I am so looking forward to what he will bring home for me today. I am having a great Valentine's Day now, because if it is a day about love, I can say without question I am loved. And I have love in my heart to give as well. |
| Valentine's Day! I cannot remember the last time I went out for Valentine's Day. I think I was still in college. Over 10 years ago. Not that I haven't been the recipient of half-hearted attempts....hastily purchased cards or flowers, or even a time or two where someone went all out, at least an A for effort. Suffice it to say, that for at least the last 6 years I have not been interested in this day. It has gotten to be a day I associate with my children, valentine cards and parties. But someday I am determined to have a great Valentine's Day. A lovely, romantic day. Someday! |
| Right here on writing.com is this cool class called fundamentals of poetry. So I signed up and am playing catch up, since it started last month. I was a little intimidated at first, but I thought "what the hell" and jumped right in. I even made a folder on my portfolio to hold the assignments I turn in. So not only do my classmates and instructor get to chuckle at my homework, everyone else can too = ) It is challenging to write on demand, but definitely good for what ails me, which is writer's block at the moment. And sleep deprivation..... among other things ; ) |
| I finally got ahold of dear old dad! And he is driving down to Texas to visit me and the boys in 2 weeks with my Uncle Tom! I am really looking forward to his visit. I miss my family = ( My boys are so excited....they sure love their "papa!" Well, time to lay down and try to sleep..... |
| Hehehe I went out last night to hang out with some friends, shoot some pool, throw some darts and drink some beer. Ended up listening to some good tunes and dancing a bit too. I realized that the singles scene around here is definitely for the younger set. It was nice to be on the outside of the drama observing. The whole mating dance has changed alot since I was in my twenties. I did get "schooled" in pool.....I never claimed to be great at it, but geez these younger guys made me feel like it was my first time = ) I fared better at darts..... I am thinking there is the makings of some kind of writing in this....just not sure what yet. It was good to get out and have some fun, hopefully the creative juices will get flowing now. |
| Today is my dad's 60th birthday. I have been trying to get ahold of him for a week! And tried many times today : ( Oh well, I did sing Happy Birthday to his voice mail. And tonight I am fighting with restless legs.....gotta be DOING something or I go nutso....so I am rambling about my house, watching shows I recorded on the dvr....pacing a path into the carpet....but I want to lay down and sleep! Ok, can't sit here any longer...gotta pace! |

"I believe in dragons, good men, and other mythical creatures." "I'll try being nicer when you try being smarter." "I am not A bitch, I am THE bitch, and it is Miss Bitch to you!"
