The Next Weekend

So last weekend was fricking amazing and I thought it just doesn't get any better then this. Then we came to this weekend....and it got better. Wow, for the first time in a long time, things are awesome. Okay seriously there are still some things that suck but I feel like I have a life again and that I can manage the insane roller coaster that is my normal every day existence. So this weekend was:

Friday:

I had the day off and I had a friend in town (Love you T) so we went to Universal. I had fun just chilling and roaming around. That night, we got together with some of our other friends (Much love to C, D, and S who came to hang out with us, and D via text message) and had drinks and good times. (Damn I can't tell you how much I needed that) The legend of the four brunettes and their pimp daddy was born. (G)

Saturday :

After catching a few hours sleep from Friday night, I went and picked up my spawn from her sleep over at G-Ma's house and we ran to La Mart of Wally because like the true slacker I am I so forgot to get the present for the b-day party we were going to this afternoon. So present bought, it was off to the jumpy place for a party with the spawn, and 12 other kids that were there to jump around for J-man's b-day. (J-man is my friend A's son) So, while at the jumpy place I got to catch up with my friend M since we don't see each other often. It was nice to hang out for a while and watch the kids play,

Side note about the jumpy place: You don't realize how loud some kids can scream until you put them on a coaster or put them around a big jumpy thing....oy vey.

Sunday:

Plans for tomorrow include laundry, homework and just general resting.

Next weekend: 3 Doors Down at Universal!!!!

I am so loving life right now....oh and another side note, I did get to catch up with the hottie I'm crushing on this weekend. I love crushes. One of my friends once told me about the concept of PEA (the chemical in your brain that releases during the early stages of a relationship) I have to tell you it's a great feeling, the bright, shiny phase. Well, there ya go, I'm just happy crushing and it's all good. Sometimes it seems like my hottie is crushing back too, eh who knows if I'm just seeing it because I want to see it. I guess we'll see. :-)

The Weekend

So this past weekend, was amazing.
Saturday
The spawn and I went and got our nails done, then my roomie K dragged me to the Eric Clapton concert. Now I am the first to admit that I have never been a big Eric Clapton fan, but DAMN that man can play. What made it even better is that Roger Daltry of The Who opened for him.......Best Random Phrase of the Concert was by Roger Daltry to someone on stage but not mic'd "Fuck you, not in front of all these people" I have no idea what was said to him to get that response but damn that was funny.

Sunday
The effing time change......the bane of my effing life and my weekend. Okay enough about that. I went to M's son 's birthday party at Chuck E Cheese....It wasn't bad for being at Chuck E Cheese....The side show drama would take a blog post all to itself but over all it was a really nice party and bonus I got to check out a few nice looking guys. Then my friend A and I took the kids to the Orlando Science Center. That was amazing. I LOVED the energy room. There was a guy with a chair of nails that you can sit on, so I did. Makes me think I can walk on fire too....

So anyway, here we go onto another week, YAY....maybe something good will happen this week Oh Wait....something will, I get to see my friend T from Chicago will be in town and we get to hang out. I also might get to see the hottie I'm currently crushing on....here's hoping. Well till next time Ciao.

Runaway Train

There's this song by Soul Asylum that is one of my favorite songs in the word, Runaway Train...No matter what is going on, it's like that song can describe how I feel at any given moment.Right now, at this very moment, I'm wiped out. I just finished a class from hell, I'm mentally and emotionally drained because of my life in general and I feel like there is just nothing left in me.

I know I'll be alright in the morning, hell I might even be alright in an hour....this is just how I feel right this minute and I had to get it out.

I have another year of this pace...and I'm just so tired. I know it's worth it...but I'm tired. I know that no one said that life was supposed to be easy but no one say it was supposed to be this hard either. (Le Sigh) Well, tomorrow starts another week, and another class and a whole new host of things. I guess we just move on from here.

"Everything is cut and dry 
Day and night, earth and sky
Somehow I just don't believe it "

Once upon a time..

Once upon a time, in a land that has no name there lived a group of people. The group of people were friends and they shared their lives daily. The joys, the sorrows and when one of the group was down, the rest of the group stood guard untill they could stand again.

Sounds great right? Sounds like something that we all wish we had in our lives. Well most of us do. I know I do. I have it in more then one form. I have my main group, the tried and true friends that I can call on to help me burry the bodies at 2 in the morning. (Which most recently was my beloved cat Alley when he died) I have my work friends that make it easier to get through the craziness that is my job and those around me. I have some on-line friends some of whom I haven't met all face to face but that doesn't matter. They are there and always just an email, board post or in some cases text away. Our friends give us a place to belong.

I've seen what happens when you have to loose one though. Espically when it means something to you. The lost feeling, the stages of greif that you feel. The tug on you when you come across something that you would have involved that person in and now they aren't there. The massive hole that is left in your life when they are gone. Hated feeling if I ever felt one. I've also seen what happens when new people enter, they help right old wrongs, replace bad memories, give you a new outlook. A new reason to believe, or at least try to...

Lately there has been some reflection on my part of the people in my life and the roles that they play. I've said that friendship is not a spectator sport, sometimes you get tackled. You get out of it what you put into it. More then one of my friends have said that it's not about how we agree it's about how we disagree. I tend to think that they are right. I think it's funny how people come into your life at certian times. Some times they stay, sometimes it's just for a little while, sometimes they go away and come back again but they all leave a lasting impression on you and it's always for a reason. I've learned something from everyone that has touched my life. It hasn't always been good, but then lessons aren't always are they?

Since I know I never say it enough, to my friends that are always there, I love you all dearly. With out you all I wouldn't be who I am.

"There's too much tendency to attribute to God the evils that man does of his own free will." Agatha Christie

Recently I was called the most "Evil Person In The World"  by someone who should not be casting stones in a glass house. It's hard work living up to that title, let me tell you. It's not just all fun and games. 

There is alot that goes into the "Evil Person In The World" Now one would think that I sit in my lair all day thinking up evil plots with a white cat on my lap. Well there is some truth to this. I do have a "lair" since I work in a dungeon (basement in the real world), I do hatch some evil plots (I am a complaince auditor), I do not have a cat at work, white or otherwise but I do have an assistant that could qualify for a minion.


So where am I? I'm about to go to court in April where I will most likely become the most "Evil Person In The World" because I'm forcing my spawn's father to pay child support when he doesn't appear to want to, or more accurately only wants to pay what he wants to pay when he wants to pay it. For filing I got the most "Evil Person In The World" title. Eh, somebody's gotta fill this slot right.


 To further extend my most evil person in the world status, I'm talking to this guy. We'll call him............M. So M and I have been chatting it up for a little while now. Sounds pretty cool right, ah were back to my most "Evil Person In The World" because there are things that don't add up. Now, I'm an auditor by trade and I have a BA in accounting....it bugs me when things don't add up, so I  let it go for as long as I can then my estrogen demands I issue the summons "We need to talk" Ah, the death words.....designed by women to send any man running, except the one I'm talking to. Nothing about this guy is normal. Reactions, the way he handles things, the situations he's in, nothing is normal, he keeps me guessing. So we talk....It was a good talk that answered a lot and left more questions. I'm sure where he is concerned there is someone that will consider me the most "Evil Person In The World" because that's how these things happen, I have rotten luck with guys. But as Sally says in Carabert, Maybe this time, I'll get lucky... We'll see, M is a roller coaster ride from hell that I just don't want to get off of yet. At least I know what I'm in for, kinda. 

"We'll either expand into greatness or implode into oblivion." JB 2010

The above quote was made last week at a retirement luncheon for one of the supervisors by one of the VP's at my place of employment. The lady that made the statement is amazing and handles more in a day then I can even think about,  yet does it all with caring and compassion. She's one of the people I aspire to be like when I grow up.

I'm really lucky at my place of employment. That I can say that after the shittastic week last week I've had is a testament to just how much I really do like my job and the people I work with. I am surrounded by people who are encouraging and inspiring and who make me want to strive to reach my goals and surpass them. JB the originator of the quote is in the clinical realm. If ever there was a more difficult realm to dwell in. Especially now, with the (insert tired phrase here) economy the way it's been.

So onward we go, just trying to serve the people in need and do the best we can for our community and hope that we survive until the economy straightens it self back out, because eventually it always does.
