I meant to update this thing every day or so but a lot keeps happening. Like LIFE.
I am moving out of the house this weekend. Yea!!!! A big 2 bedroom apartment. A fireplace in the living room & a patio off my bedroom. I have hedged moving into an apartment because I value my privacy like it's gold but this is a nice place I am moving to. It will be easier to care for than a 2,000 square foot 4 bedroom house. I can't wait!
Currently, I have the most amazing guy in my life. He has been a blessing to me in a year of turmoil & craziness. He has really helped me to become grounded & because of him, I have grown up considerably in several ways. Unfortunately, he leaves town in November & I don't know what will become of the relationship. I know what I WANT to happen, but I have decided that I am just going to play it by ear & enjoy what I have for what it is right now, today.
I hate my job. (Just throwing that out there.) I used to love it, but now I hate it with a passion. There is so much drama & back biting & micro-managing. Everyone is against one another, no one works as a team. It's a bunch of snitching & gossip & lying. I am a manager, third in command of the business & the head of a department but yet there is no respect for that from the other two over me. Last week, I got into it with the general manager whom I was calmly talking to in a rational voice & he started mimicking me like he was a 3 year old. I got up & walked out for the rest of the day. But yet, I was the one in the wrong, I was told. This guy gets away with EVERYTHING & the boss refuses to see his undermining & lying. My other half told me that when I have to pop 3 Xanax just to get through the day, I need to find another job. So I am working on that. Until then I just imagine the sweet relief of a homicide as I clock in every day.
Also, our company is about to move into a new 24,000 square foot building. Guess who has been promoted - or is it DEmoted? - to clean it & set up offices? Yep - yours truly. Cleaning ladies here make $15-20.00 an hour. I DON'T. Plus I despise cleaning up anything that is a mess that someone besides myself or a family member makes. And I am wondering while I am scraping paint off baseboards when am I supposed to be getting my REGULAR job duties done? All of my stuff has been moved down to the new office but I have no computer yet. The boss won't let me use my personal laptop because it has DoD grade security software on it & he won't be able to monitor what I do with it. So I guess I'm supposed to conduct business email correspondence through my BlackBerry? Sure. Yeah. He isn't paying my phone bill, so I don't think so. Come on new job! Hurry up & let me find you!
So now I'm decompressing after work. Thank god for Diet Coke, chocolate & Marlboro Smooths. A friend is on the way over & I have a surprise birthday cake ready. Yum, I love me some birthday cake!

Wow, It's Only TUESDAY??
Another productive day at work. Picked up some Bush's Chicken, my favorite, on the way home from work! Yum!
I'm pissed because Tuesday night is my favorite TV night (NCIS comes on!) & Ho-bama is on instead. I care more about what kind of case Gibbs & DiNozzo are going to solve than what our new President thinks he's going to "CHANGE" about our country. I decided I am going to get a second job waiting tables at a local club at nights & need to take my TABC certification. I felt now would be the perfect time since I won't get to watch Abby, Ziva & Ducky on TV tonight. So I am waiting for my test material to load online right now.
A repo guy just stopped by & thank god he isn't looking for MY car. LOL! MY payments are current, thank goodness. He was looking for the girl that used to live here. She's in Tennessee now, so unless he plans on making a road trip, I guess he is out of luck.
My friend, L., is currently on his way to Texas to test for Austin PD this week. I wish him luck! :) Hopefully, the weather is nice at his lay-over in Denver.
Even though it's only Tuesday, this week seems to be dragging by. I have alot to do this weekend & I hope it hurries & gets here so I can knock out the stuff I have to do.
When I got home from work, someone had stolen my newspaper off the porch. I wonder if it was the same genius who stole my air freshener when he moved his stuff out last week. After all, he did stop by to get his mail off the front porch today. *snicker*
So tonight, it's me & the cats, chillaxin' on the couch. Aaaahhhhhh..... Now - back to my TABC certification course....

Random....
Today was a wild day at work. Things happened one after the other. It ended up being a good day, though.
I found up I won't be losing my house as result from my ex leaving me in financial straights. Yea! What a relief to know you won't be homeless, right? The down side is that I really have to find a couple of roommates ASAP. Gotta pay the bills. This should be interesting. I am looking high & low & so far, no serious prospects.
A few days ago, an old friend, L., got back in touch after being out of touch for a few years. It's been a joy to talk to him again. Hopefully, I can see him in person, soon. He stood by me a few years ago when I was going through a really rough time & it's nice to have him back in my life again.
On another note, have you ever really wondered about someone that you have only talked to on the internet & never met? I've been speaking with someone over the past couple of weeks that really has me intrigued. He's someone I would really like to get to know better. It's pretty cool because he isn't trying to get in my bed like alot of guys I talk to & know. He's funny & intelligent & I'm curious to see what he's about.
Cory, the ex, stopped by the shop today. He brought me the tank from his motorcycle that I accidentally put a scratch on a couple weeks ago. Even though he's put me through hell, I am responsible for the scratch so I'm fixing it. Much to the chagrin of just about everyone I know. *eye roll* He kills me because he acted like there was nothing wrong between us & we were totally cool with each other. I hate that. I'm a bigger person that to be a bitch to him, though. I was always the grown-up one in our relationship, anyway.
Other than that, the day has wound down & I am enjoying another boring, yet drama-less (Yea!) night at home. Whew, it's nice! Someone sitting beside me would be even nicer, though...

A Little Background...
In the past year, I have gone through some pretty dramatic stuff. In the past month, it has gotten even more dramatic.
Last month, the second love my life (the first being my daughter) walked out on me. I have spent the past month trying to pull my heart back together. It's a slow journey but slowly I am getting there. This was only the second man in my life I have ever really & truly loved. Oh, sure - I've been infatuated numerous times, but this was love. I'll spare you the details but part of that love is now dead. I still can't see him without crying or getting emotional but it's ion private now rather than the obvious. he will always have a special part ion my heart & I will always wonder what could have been, but I'm not wasting as much time now on "what ifs" as I was.
The first love of my life, Riley, my daughter, has kept me smiling & touches my heart at every turn.
I originally started this blog to get out my feelings & emotions about my failed relationship but then I thought "Why waste the bandwidth?". So what I post will be my joys & downs of my every day life. Every day I evolve as a person & I hope you are able to read & see the changes as I hope I will.
