Nothing to Write About Sep 10, 2005 7:14 am

Why on earth would I think I should write a blog when all I have done since I wrote the last one was sleep and pay bills??

Uggh, paying bills! I don't know what I have done with my money lately, but I have been BROKE this month. I have lived in my condo for a year and have never been as broke as I am right now. Not even last Christmas! I might have to transfer another hundo from my savings, because I don't get paid for another 5 days!

Anyway, I think I need to make a stop at the Farmer's Market and the grocery store, but only for the bare essentials. No indulgences for me this week! I also wanted to go to the deli and buy some yummy turkey, provolone and roasted red peppers (makes a perfect sandwich), but I think the deli costs more than buying that stuff at the grocery store...anyway, we'll see...

And, I have to clean my condo today! It is a wreck!! Dishes undone, clothes unhung, floor unswept, carpet unvacuumed! Looks like today will be an exciting day of running errands and cleaning! Oh the joys of being single and not having anything more distracting to do!

Have fun! Be nice! (I think that will be my new tag line!)

I feel so selfish Sep 9, 2005 10:26 pm
Mood: thoughtful, 1360 Views
In my last two blogs I complained about the bad behaviours of other people on the train and I complained about being broke and about not knowing whether or not I would be going out with my friends.

Then later in the evening I watched the concert special to benefit people that were affected by the hurricane, called "Shelter From the Storm". All of these celebrities were telling these terrible stories and I just could not stop crying. And the musicians were playing such touching songs. One thing that really got to me was when Ellen Degeneres said her neice (who lived in New Orleans) said out of everything, she misses her friends the most, because she doesn't know where they are. I felt to selfish for complaining about my friends. At least I know where they are, and we haven't all been displaced by the biggest national disaster in American history. It really makes you think about how lucky you are and how you really don't have much to complain about at all. It was definitely a wake up call.

So, I did go out with my friends tonight and it was nice. It was me, two of my friends and one of their husbands and we had such a nice time, just talking and being with each other. It's about midnight now, so I didn't stay out too late and I'm not that buzzed!

I found out this week that instead of having a big elaborate Christmas party, we are just going to do something small in the office and donate $5,000 to the hurricane relief instead. That's on top of $10,000 that my company already gave. We're a not for profit company, so I thought it was nice that they decided to do that.

Well, I'm going to see if there are any blogs I can catch up on before I go to bed.

Sweet dreams!

It's Friday Night, I Wish I Had Just Gotten Paid! Sep 9, 2005 2:24 pm
Mood: bouncy, 1246 Views
Because I am so broke!! I had to take money out of my savings last weekend and sadly that is almost gone already! So, what do I do? I go shopping!! I had a major discount at NY & Co. that I just had to use. I got some cute pants and tops. Then I figured I should go to Target and look around and I got some more tops. Then I had to go buy my sister a b-day present!

And I'm supposed to go out tonight and the horse races on Sunday! I still have some money in my wallet, so I should be okay for tonight, and I guess I'll just have to try and win big at the races!

I heard back from J and he told me that if I start seeing EL again that he will just use me! He also called EL scummy! Excuse me, he doesn't even know the guy, what our situation is, or what I might want romantically right now. I told him as much, and yet he wrote me back again telling me that he might not know EL, but that he knows how guys are and that is why he isn't friends with many of them. Maybe that's the problem! Anyway, I didn't write him back again. I'm not interested in him, so what's the point?!

Well, last I heard, I was supposed to go out tonight, but I don't know who is going, and if it's just me and my one friend, she might not want to go. I think she likes going when there is a bigger group. So, we'll see what happens when she calls me! It would be fun if a lot of people went, but I'm not going to hold my breath for that to happen. And it's so nice out today, it would be great to sit in a beer garden!

Alright, now I am really just rambling!

I got home from work early today, so I think I am going to chill on the couch for an hour or so. I need to veg!

Have a great weekend everyone!!

Annoying Habits on the Train Sep 9, 2005 9:22 am
Mood: annoyed, 1195 Views
I take public transportation to work (i.e. a commuter train). This is obviously a convenience for so many reasons. You don't get stuck in traffic, you don't have to dip into your life savings to pay for gas, you can sleep, pay bills, read or just plain zone out. So, you see there are many benefits. Unfortunately, there is one big downside to it. Having to deal with habits of your fellow commuters! I am not a patient person, therefore, when someone goes about conducting some sort of behavior that I find annoying, I can’t just ignore it.

Today for instance, a woman of substantial size (I know I'm not a skinny Minnie, but on the trains, you don't have a lot of room to spread out as it is, so you notice it a lot when a larger person sits next to you) sat next to me. This alone wouldn't be enough to annoy me. I have this uncanny ability to scrunch myself up and make myself smaller to fit into tight spaces (what, am I some kind of Houdini? Maybe!). But right after she sat down, she started this incessant sniffling (for crying out loud, get a tissue and blow your nose), and sneezing (her germs better not be getting on me!). Okay, okay, I can deal with that. Everyone gets the sniffles now and then...just ignore it, right! But, this is what I could just not take. She started clipping her nails, on the frickin train! Who does that?! Eww! Imagine all of those little nail clippings littering up the floor! And the sound it makes is just so irritating. Clip, clip, clip, clip! I'm telling you this now; never clip your nails whilst taking public transportation!

Of course, that is just the beginning of annoying habits you come across on the train. Don't even get me started on the loud cell phone talkers, the smelly food eaters or the people who try to push you out of the way so they can get their seat of choice!

Aaarrrgggghhh!

Friendships Falling Apart Sep 8, 2005 8:00 pm
Mood: grateful, 1214 Views
First of all, I just wanted to let you know that I e-mailed J. He had written me a really nice e-mail about how much he enjoyed meeting me yesterday and how he wanted to see me again. And I had to write him back and tell him that I wasn't ready, that I wasn't over EL and how I didn't want to rush into anything that might just be a rebound. I feel like pooh about it, and I hope he doesn't react too badly.

Second, I noticed that GirlsRock's blog was no longer listed as the third most popular under mine!! Does that mean she is gone for good? I hope not...I will miss her and I liked being in a dead heat with her as the most popular female blog (I don't think there is any way I can ever bypass Avelexa!).

Third, I think that things are falling apart with my "real life" friendships. I've stopped talking to one of my friends because I can't stand her new boyfriend and she has turned into a different person since she started dating him. I thought she might ask me what was wrong when I didn't return her calls, but she hasn't asked, and I just don't feel like I can be the one to bring it up. She has done so many inconsiderate things since she has been with him, but I can't confront her unless she asks me what is wrong.

Another friend never seems to want to go out anymore. Last weekend was a big weekend for going out around here, and she stayed home, or went home early on Saturday and Sunday night, so I didn't get to see her. And as some of us were trying to make plans for this weekend, she said she doesn't feel like going out again. Maybe I should call her and find out if there is something wrong??

So, saying all of that, I am glad for the online friendships I have made here at FF! If I start naming all of you, I will feel like I am accepting an award or something, so I won't do that. But I really do appreciate being able to tell you all of my stories and fill you in on the drama that is my life. Who else will give me advice that is so honest and support me when I need it most? Despite any viruses that might be worming their way through this community, I am glad I stumbled upon this place one lonely Friday when I felt like I needed to make new friends. To all of you who have come into my life since then, thank you and I send you many kisses!!

A great e-mail from EL Sep 8, 2005 11:11 am
Mood: confused, 1166 Views
So, once I got around to checking my e-mail at work, I saw that I had gotten one from EL. He put the subject as "just a dumb note", but it was far from that. He explained so many things to me, and complimented me in so many ways, and it was by far one of the most thoughtful, heartfelt e-mails I have ever gotten (and one of the longest too).

Here's part of it:

"First of all, thanks for being such a good friend, host, "partner," and great person these past few months that we've had our "arrangement." I've really had fun and will definitely have a lot of good memories to look back on with a big smile on my face. I know we just called it a physical thing for the most part, but you can't have a physical relationship with someone for as long as we did and not feel at least something for that other person. I guess it was inevitable for that kind of stuff to come into play."

And that is just the tip of the iceberg!

I was shocked. I didn't know what to think. What made him write me such a nice e-mail? Did he somehow sense that I had closure and wanted to make sure that I didn't forget about him altogether? Is he just trying to keep his options open? Does he care for me more than he can ever admit to himself?

Of course I wrote him back, and have since gotten another e-mail from him. It seems like he definitely wants to keep in touch...

So, the drama continues. I like him too much to just let go...What am I doing?!?

Here we go again! Sep 8, 2005 6:27 am
Mood: annoyed, 1211 Views
Well, I posted a blog yesterday around 6PM and it's now 8:22AM and my one from last night still isn't posted. I guess maybe all of the hassles around here have left FF too busy to post our blogs!

Ohh, I was just sort of mean to the girl who sits next to me. Every morning she comes in and immediately starts talking to me, and it's usually about stuff that I could care less about! I'm not supposed to be online during the work day and therefore when I get in to the office early, I try to check my e-mail, check the blogs, maybe write a blog, and every frickin day she comes over and starts talking to me as I'm trying to do this stuff before I have to start working! Not that I am that strict about my time, but when there is stuff you want to do and every frickin morning you get interrupted, it starts to get frustrating! So, today, when she came over and started talking to me about something totally inane as usual, I told her that I was doing something and could we talk about it later. She looked kind of shocked, but come on! To interrupt me every day!!! Okay, I'm done with my rant...now I must get to work!

Let's hope the blogs catch up soon!!

Lunch Date Sep 7, 2005 4:51 pm
Mood: confused, 1199 Views
Even though we didn't go get lunch, I guess that is what I'll call it, since it was on my lunch hour.

I met J from AFF. We just took a walk and then sat on a bench by the river and talked for an hour. He was nice and easy to talk to. There were no lulls in the conversation. There was nothing wrong with him that I could put my finger on, but I'm just not sure if I'm into him. I think it's me though, really nothing about him. I just don't think I'm ready to really be with anyone right now. I don't know why I feel like this?? I just don't have the energy for a new relationship. I don't know if I'm not entirely over EL either. I think it would be too soon. Like a rebound and that's not fair.

At the end of the "lunch date" he told me that he had a really good time, that I was prettier in person, that he hadn't had a date that good in 8 months and that he would wait for me to contact him. He said he doesn't like to be pushy. He asked me if I play poker, because I had such a poker face and he couldn't tell what I was thinking...maybe that's because even I don't know what I was thinking?? I gave him a hug and a quick peck on the lips and left.

Then, 10 minutes after I got back to my desk, he called me to tell me what a good time he had. Ohhhh, the pressure!! I don't know if I want to start anything with him and I certainly don't know if I want to lead him on. So, what should I do? Send him an e-mail trying to explain myself or call him, or do nothing??

Dating bites!

Just Ignore Him Sep 7, 2005 8:30 am
Mood: amused, 1299 Views
There have been many blogs lately about an imposter/poser/abuser who has infiltrated our friendly little blogging community. So far, I have seen him go by the names AmberSolaire and Higgins553 (not to be confused with our beloved Higgin554!). This guy is just a worthless piece of junk. He is doing this to see if he can get a reaction out of us. I'm sure he probably thrives on it! If we ignore him, he'll probably just go away. And even if he doesn't, everyone can delete his comments. Everyone can permanently ban him, but besides that, I don't think we should waste any more time writing about him or responding to him.

Do what JustLooking suggested and complain to the powers that be at FF. I just sent my own letter, but please don't give this loser the time of day anymore. He doesn't deserve it, and I for one will just laugh off his attempts at being an interloper, because he's really lame at it. Maybe if he could spell or use correct grammar, I would at least give him credit!

Keep smiling!

Those come straight from my profile. Other items of interest: never been married, but was engaged six years ago, I'm an avid reader, I love to talk, when I was little I either wanted to be an actress or a writer, I'm mostly a positive person but overly emotional at times, I love animals and can't even kill bugs (unless I have a fly infestation!), I'm a great listener but don't always give good advice, and I am addicted to blogging (do they have a 12 step program for this?)

So, now you know!
