| Gotta stretch those vacation days |
| 05.31.04 (11:08 am) [edit] |
|
*sigh* See the importance of planning?? *L* (That or giving everyone 6 weeks of vacation as a law....) Life would have been easier if people told me they were getting married before I booked a big vacation (that I already took in January/February). I am always apprehensive about taking vacation early in the year because who knows what might come up at the end of the year. I have 7 days to work with now. I need 5 days for when Wayne visits. I need 2 days prior to my best friend's wedding so I can go help. But... My best friend needs at least another one day for me to scope out the venue and for a weekend of fun and relaxation. My relatives are visiting, and we're taking a weekend to visit another family member we've not seen for a long time. That will require at least 1 day. My cousin is getting married in Australia in November. This is one trip I will not be taking for sure. I don't have a week to. The original plan was to just get away with only the cousins for a trip...maybe go to Fiji or something. My relatives are also taking another weekend to visit my cousin's new pad in Cambridge, MA. I'd love to go to that, but would require another day. And probably money I don't have. I might have to see if I can get things down into half days and work longer hours to get some unofficial overtime. *sigh* Or try to switch working on a holiday in order to take the day off another time. *siiiiiigh* Too bad none of these getaways are on a long weekend :x |

| The weekend |
| 05.30.04 (10:02 pm) [edit] |
|
I am exhausted. Tonight shall be an early night! I forgot to mention...after Friday night's dance class, one of the girls and I got to talking, and she asked me about my "status." :lol: She thinks this guy she knows and I might get along because of the photography thing. She made him sound okay. But he is, I assume, Chinese :lol: And then I asked her how tall he was... 5'8". I like my men big and beefy! 5'9" is just cutting it. I am so tired that I've forgotten what else I was going to blog about. Oh yeah, I saw Stef last night. I am so glad I didn't have to talk to him, and the only conversation I had with him was in a general group thing. His cockiness still annoys me, though. :? Paula's birthday was a lot of fun, though!! Hurrah! |

Well, last night I had a special pole dancing class - special meaning this class was a one-time deal and not regularly planned. There was a writer for a newspaper (who was in town for one night) who wanted to do an article on it, so my instructors indulged her. It was like a regular class, but the writer would throw in questions [she participated too], and when she found out I had a camera, she was thrilled. I ended up taking photos of the class that may be used in the paper. But... Although she was there to report, I think she already had a spin on the story in her mind. She was very specific about how she wanted the photo. It was okay about the people's positions. She wanted both instructors in the photo, but she wanted them to look sexy (not that it's that difficult...). But when it came time to a pole shot, she wanted two students in the photo looking interested in what the instructor was doing. "Don't lean on the wall...Stand closer...Great! I want Margaret in the photo because she wears glasses [and looks kind of geeky]" And it took a while to get to the pose she wanted on the pole. "No, too gymanstic-y. No, that was too crotchy. No, her back is to the camera. No, can we get her close to the pole?" I think I got a few okay shots. I emailed them off to her last night. But she wanted to highlight the sexiness of the class. Sex sells. On the other hand, I've been treating this class like any other exercise class. So maybe I shouldn't be so suspicious of her spin. |

| Cheap walls |
| 05.28.04 (11:41 am) [edit] |
|
Last night at dance class, we used one of the walls. The wall creaks. Everytime, someone's leaning on it, we here "crack" "crack" "crack". I worry it's going to break!! Anyway, when the class was over...we noticed there dark stains on the walls!! :lol: They weren't there before...but there were definitely prints from us leaning against it!! Ah, I love that class. Not only is it fun, but everyone in the class is great. We get along really well. Right now, the instructors are looking for chairs that would be sturdy for dancing with. I realised most of my paycheques go towards me keeping an active lifestyle. I guess that makes it the most important aspect of my life? That's about $300/month for the gym, my trainer, and dance classes. |

| Interracial relationships |
| 05.28.04 (9:51 am) [edit] |
|
This past week, both of my parents (on separate occasions) once again expressed that a Chinese guy would best for me. :lol: My dad asked me if I still heard from Demetrios, my last real boyfriend [We broke up 2 years ago and he's Greek]. I said no, and that he was a jerk. *L* [What makes him a jerk? That it took a whole year of hounding him to get my stuff back...despite my polite emails and phone calls and offers to pick it up, etc. One day, I had a UPS package delivered to me, but it cost me $50 in brokerage fees. That would have been enough gas money for me to go pick it up myself. And that he refused to return my calls and gave me the brush off in email. Our break up had been amicable, too.] So that was enough fodder for my dad to paint all Caucasians in a bad light :lol: "See? That's how they are!" And once again, he reiterated his thoughts that cultural differences will make a relationship close to impossible. My mom feels similarly. She's worred about getting along with the in-laws for one thing :lol: She's seen family friends and my cousins get married to other Chinese people (who aren't living in Asian counties) and wants the same for me. I've dated a couple of Chinese guys, and they just end up having higher expectations of them :lol: She's like "why don't I get your aunts and uncles to introduce you to some nice Chinese boys?" BWAHAHAHA No, thanks, mom. :lol: |

| My horoscope |
| 05.28.04 (8:26 am) [edit] |
|
I had typed all this out when tblog had a hiccup last night...good thing I was still able to copy for future pasting! (like right now) This is what I had typed around 12:30 am last night. I have come to trust blankTim Stephens, the astrologist. He's spot on many times! For this week, part of my horoscope said, "Some Sages will break up with someone, or receive a first strong hint - e.g., a door slammed for no obvious reason." And well, tonight Darren and I had a talk. I had a feeling interest was slipping (it sure was on my part), and that he was dating others. My hunch was correct. Anyway, I asked him if he had had a date on Friday [that was when he postponed our date to which he also invited me to spend the night to a crappy Monday night date], and he said yes. So that's when we started talking about us. We feel the same way, i.e., we're both attractive people with good personalities, but there's just this awkwardness. I know I wasn't direct, but I hope he got the gist that any more dating was not in my interest. What would be the point if there's this awkwardness? It's strange that us typing to each other in IM is fine. Anyway, he will be another guy that slips into the abyss of Rosie's past. But there is still that little part of me..."what?! He's not crazy about me? I want him!" :lol: Anyway, I can now fully concentrate on Wayne. :D |

| Lunch with dad |
| 05.27.04 (1:31 pm) [edit] |
|
I called up my dad yesterday to see if he wanted to go for dim sum today...and we went. It was a pretty pleasant lunch. I think he was glad I called. He gave me some vegetables and fruit. I think the way he shows he cares is by giving me food. Thank goodness there wasn't much mom bashing. |

I'd better win this battle. No wonder I've been so tired the past couple of days. My body is at work warding off a cold. I think it all started a couple of days ago when it was freezing cold. I didn't have enough clothes with me at work. I was dressed for summer, but it was more like fall weather. I am feeling chilly, still... I'm meeting my dad for lunch today. Another mug I will have to ask him to bring back. |

It was all a misunderstanding with me and Wayne. Even though we were talking about our last times...he slipped in about his first time. He says he'd never boast about his last time to me...because it wouldn't be right!! *sigh of...relief* :lol: |

I'm not sure why. This past week I've watched a couple of seaon finales: Smallville and 24. Both felt more like series finales, though. Sorry if I'm about to give anything away. Stop reading if you choose! All the main characters have either moved or died in Smallville! All that's left is Clark, Lex, and Mr. and Mrs. Kent. What are they going to do about the cast?? And in 24, the main characters are either quitting, dead, or going to jail. I wonder if there will be another season of 24. That's all I've got for this boring blog entry. Oh! And Photblog is back. I am considering paying to upgrade my current account. Now the free accounts give you 2 MB of space although since I signed up earlier, I still have 10 MB. |

I didn't sleep so well last night. I was exhausted, but my mind was racing!! I kept waking up - probably because I was worried my alarm clock wasn't going to go off at the right time. It needs a new battery, and the time keeps slowing down. I was quite upset, too...most likely stemming from exhaustion. Anyway, Wayne and I were MSNing. The topic of conversation got around to the last time we had sex. I completely avoided telling him when (because I really didn't think he'd want to know), but right after I told him I didn't want to know about him, he *told* me [about him]. And it was more recent than his last report :? I just left the conversation by blocking him. I have no issues with him sleeping with others. We're not a couple. But my issue was discretion. I'd prefer the same treatment. I answer all questions he asks regarding my love/sex life, but I do not volunteer any more. And to have him tell me even though I said I didn't want to know really hurt. And I hurt myself since I perceived deception. He gave me the impression that there wasn't anyone else. I'll get over this. I don't understand why guys who are interested in me think that talking about and bragging about their sexual experiences are going to impress me. If I wanted to know, I'd have asked, and I'm not a guy friend. One guy I dated, Chris [the one I was going to have lunch with this weekend but had to cancel] told me on numerous occasions that he'd been with a lot of women and how his nickname in high school was The Devirgnizer. :roll: And he was going on about how he'd had 3 threesomes blah blah blah. So I started talking about one of my threesomes. He looked a little flustered and said, "oh, you've had one?" and requested I not give him any details. :lol: I dunno. I figured I'd show some courtesy and respect to guys I'm dating by not describing my sexual past and going into detail. All I need to get across is that I'm disease-free and past guys don't matter in the present. *shrug* Chances are they don't really want to know anyway. |

I am: -unmotivated -cold -tired -greasy -plump I look forward to getting off work. 4.25 hours left. Then it's off to get a facial. :D I was tempted to be "sick" today, especially after I ran into Paula at the gym. I hope she didn't see me carrying her birthday present. |

I'd try to follow the plan... So today...the plan was to go to the beach!! Did that happen? No :( I was going to with Erin and Paula but they had to meet someone for lunch first. Then they were going to run a couple of errands, but the errands took longer than planned :( And my date with Darren ended pretty early. I don't know about this boy. The whole postponing a Friday night date to a Monday night date didn't really sit well with me. By the time today rolled around, I'd kind of lost any excitement over seeing him. :? *shakes head* I don't know. |

| So tired |
| 05.23.04 (11:48 pm) [edit] |

Today was quite the Sunday. Perhaps all Sundays should be like this... Started off by having a late Saturday night...I went to bed probably around 3 am, and woke up around 9 and headed for the gym. Lunch with Chris was cancelled because he couldn't make 'til about 2, but I had to meet up with Paula and Erin. We went for an 8 km walk and saw some eagles. I took a few photos...hope they turn out! I'll see in a moment. Then we saw Troy. It wasn't bad at all! So no news from Darren. This last minute planning for dates really doesn't work for me. So tomorrow afternoon, I'm heading to the beach with Paula and Erin. And last night, I was informed that Stef was going to be at Paula's birthday thing next weekend. I'm a little choked that he got invited (by a mutual friend, rather than Paula) because... I dunno. What was Carrie thinking? This is a guy I dated a couple times last year, but it wasn't 'til New Years that hell broke loose. Just a recap: Dude is from England and travels here frequently and is a friend to a guy in "the group." *eyes roll* So I met him last summer. We MSNed a little while he was back in England. He was here for the Christmas holidays. He was too clingy. I told him I needed space. He still didn't understand what that meant. He threw a New Year's party. He drank copious amounts of alcohol and was all over me. Then he propositioned me to stay the night. When I said, "no," he retorted with, "I'm only going to be here a few more days." Then he told me to lighten up (as a person). I was pissed off. The next conversation he and I had, I told him to f*** off and never speak to me again. And we haven't spoken to each other since. I still don't wish to speak to him again, but if I have to...grrr...well...what can I do. I am over what happened, but have not forgiven his disrespect. I think that is the only time I really hold a grudge. Another guy, Rahim, tried contacting me again after a few years. I wouldn't sleep with him either, and he called me a slut [go figure]. He said, "oh, it was so long ago...you should get over it." And I finally told J my thoughts oh his disappearance. I told him it was a s***ty thing to do...to just completely drop me without a word for a month. He agreed. I felt better after speaking my mind. I think I'd like if he groveled a bit, too :wink: But bleh. He's no good for me! |

Well, my dad just dropped by. Was in the garage getting some cables. I doubt he would have come into the house. He would have just come and left. Because I heard him in the garage, I went down to say hello (especially since he was over last night playing mahjong and didn't see or talk to him). My "hi dad" was met with a frosty "what" and then a "it's been over a week and you haven't called." Um...well...he was out of town and denied it. Last week he told me to leave his newspapers in the garage so they wouldn't get dusty outside. So all week long the newspapers piled up. One day they got picked up. He still didn't stick around to chat today. In fact, he didn't even say bye. Just a "aren't you going out" back at me while he got in his car to drive away. The garage door wasn't even closed and he was down the street already. And my experiences make me want to be close with him because...? |

Well, tonight I am going to a strip club to meet up with some of the girls from class. I was going to bring a friend with me, she changed her mind about going. I don't like when people bail on me, especially if plans were made well ahead of time :( I will still go to the strip club because I think it'll be fun to get together with the others. I don't know if I will go clubbing or meet up with friends, after though. I'd rather meet up with friends, I think. I had a green tea latte from Starbucks today; I hope I will be able to sleep well tonight. I met up with a woman today who wanted to ask me a few questions about my profession and how I got into it. She had described herself as tall with short hair and glasses, and I think she said she wasn't skinny?? I couldn't tell what her physique was, but I thought she was probably being hard on herself! |

What is up with people coming around again? So C...who I dated before J...started chatting me up again. I think nothing of it. But it's just kind of strange how things all happen around the same time. Because I am having lunch with him on Sunday afternoon. And J...suggested I go shopping for pants with him. I just hear Twilight Zone music in my head. I'd not date these fellows again. Actually, I am still kind of ticked off at J because I haven't expressed my feelings to him. I mean really...how dare he just expect me to treat him the same after he just dropped me from his life for a month with no explanation. And today was a day of hunger for me. I was hungry all day, and I couldn't even concentrate on work. I am hungry now. Oh, and good news! I think I perfected the backwards spin on the pole!! I just need to work on my upper body strength some more. |

I am pooped :) Today was not a bad day at all! Except for one thing. I splurged. After work, I went to the mall to meet my mom. And then I went into a clothing store...Two tops, a bathing suit, and a jacket later...I went home. My only excuse is that the stuff was inexpensive. :? Hopefully, the purchase will show up for my next cc bill and not the one who's cutoff is Friday! :D I do quite like the things I bought though. And tonight, I cleared out a whole bunch of clothing from my closet. There is more that I could get rid of, but I am not ready to part with it yet. It felt good to clean though! |

Things just keep going round and round, and repeat. After a month of not speaking to me, and having me deleted and blocked from his MSN list (and did not return my last call to him), J decided to re-add me to his list and chat me up again today. That makes me mad. He can't just waltz in and out of my life like that. I just figured we'd never talk again. End of story. But today he just chatted me up like nothing had happened. When I told him I thought he'd never speak to me again, he just said "yeah, you were irritating me for a bit." :x Perhaps I will give him a piece of mind (again)...I'm not sure I want him in my life. And cycles...I *still* can't believe how relatives of mine meddle. My mom was talking to one of my aunts (on my dad's side) on the phone tonight, and she [the aunt] was trying to persuade her [my mom] to work things out with my dad!! "Make him some soup, and bring it to him." Okay, my dad has moved out for a month now, and he's not given my mom his address. It just angers me that they give her bad advice. Why do they want her to stay with a man who does not treat her with the care and respect she deserves? Why do they want her to stay with a man who cheats on her? I don't know how they think they're benefitting from their advice. It was difficult hearing my mom say how tough it has been living with my dad for the last 10 years, especially the last 5 or so. She was so adamant about him being around that she bent way over backwards for him. I just can't imagine spending my life with someone who vehemently cheats on his wife. *shakes head* Don't they want her to have her dignity? |

| Woo! We've passed the Monday hump |
| 05.18.04 (10:12 am) [edit] |

I was completely out of it yesterday. I was just so tired. It's kind of weird how I am tired when I'm up and about (maybe it's just my environment), but wide awake when it's time to go to bed. Maybe it takes me just that long to completely wake up. :shock: Anyway, all day yesterday I fretted whether tentative plans with D was going to fall through. I am just extremely used to making plans with people, and then have them fall apart at very last minute. It was like that constantly with J. But I called D after work...asked him if we were still on, and he said of course! So we met up after I ran an errand with mom, grabbed a bite to eat, and then we went back to his place, and just chit chatted. I had a good time :D I'm going to see him again Friday night :D Oh, back to the Monday thing...D's quite the optimist :lol: He says now we can look at it the rest of the week as a 4-day week. One thing I learned yesterday when I went to go get prints from my digicam...Only bring along photos you want printed! I had my *full* 512 MB flash card with me. I had to cycle through all 500 photos before I got to the next step in the ordering process. At one point, I quit at page 57 or 62 because I thought choosing "quit" from the menu would bring me to an order menu. I thought I was quitting the selection process!! Anyhow, it was a neat experience. Put in Flash card, use touch screen to choose photos, print out order form, bring to cashier, and pick up photos later. |

Could it be that I am still recovering from Friday night?? 8O I am really tired this morning. And my knee is achy, and my shoulder is achy. I think it just means I need to get off my ass. And I have 20 minutes to decide if I want to buy $125 Jerry Seinfeld tix. With service charges and taxes (thanks, Ticketmaster!), they'll probably be about $275 for 2. At the moment, I don't have anyone to go with. However, I have no probs paying for someone who can't afford to go with me, though, and I could always sell my tickets. And if I knew D would be around then, I'd get the tix. But on the other hand, if I am going to turn down going out with someone for a night because I claim I only have $5 to spend, then I should think twice about these tickets. It's looking more like I shouldn't buy the tix. I'm not even a huge fan. :lol: |

Normally I dislike going out Friday nights, unless it's to do something really laid-back, like sitting around somewhere. So when James asked me go grab a coffee, I said sure. Then it became "let's go to a bar!" I felt drained, but still I left my home around 11 pm. And then I returned home around 4:15 in the morning. So all day Saturday I was out of it. And tired. And out of my mind. I was in bed by 11 pm, and when I woke up at 8 this morning, I was still feeling tired!! |

Finally...I'm not roasting at the office, it's stuffy in here today. And I'm famished! It will probably get warmer in the day. I was feeling nice and cool yesterday, and then I was sweating up a storm. So today I've resorted to wearing a tank top and having my hair up. I guess that helps. :) There was announcement about a 4th Jerry Seinfeld show being added for Fri., August 27. I am thinking about getting tickets... I am sure I could find someone to go with me (D's a fan :wink: ). I held off from the first shows because I didn't want to spend the money. I still don't want to spend the money. *sigh* But some things I am willing to pay for...live shows being one of them!! I have the weekend to decide... |

I am really glad I'm not lactose-intolerant. I hope I never am. I just had some cottage cheese and fruit. Yesterday I bought ice-cream sandwiches. Every morning I have a bowl of cereal with skim milk. I have a glass of milk before I go to sleep, too! Mmm. Good news! My co-worker got laid yesterday! This means he won't be pestering me for quite some time :D I guess I am just assuming he'll be sticking with this girl for a while. August is going to be a busy month, methinks. I have a wedding to attend, and a possible trip down to the US. But I am supposed to help organise a bridal shower at some point...and a stagette, of course! Hmm...is it okay to have the bridal shower *and* the stagette the same day? Maybe waiting 'til Labour Day for the stagette would be nicer...so that it's closer to the wedding date. Anyhoo, I'm babbling. This weekend will be the first in a while that I'm doing nothing horribly exciting...no late nights at all!! Getting together with D would be nice, but our schedules aren't meshing. I'll see him Monday :D And I had a meeting this morning. I hope my co-worker didn't really notice me checking him out. He's another cutie. Quite yummy. My mind definitely kept wandering!! :oops: |

There aren't many. But our VP of sales is really good looking to me. Maybe it's the silver hair, I don't know. He's probably around my dad's age :? I just saw him getting coffee. *jelly knees* :lol: |

I heard on the radio from some caller that that question works as a great pick-up line. :shock: I dunno. If a guy came up to me and asked me...I'd answer truthfully and probably give him "the look." Then I'd ask him why while thinking "cuckoo! Cuckoo!" What I should remember is that he had the balls to ask though. *L* Despite my complaints, I have to hand it to guys to put themselves out there for women. I don't ever wish to date a guy with hair like mine nor a guy with hair longer than mine. Mine is almost at waist length. |

I am getting that way again. I need to pick up something new...like dragonboating. That would be fun. But for now I will just try to get back into exercising more often. This summer, Paula and I plan on playing tennis and taking up cooking. Then in the fall, it'll be pottery!! And I should be sticking with my pole dancing classes for quite some time. I just wish I could practise at home!! Or a trip. Taking one would be fantastic. I might take a weekend off in about a month with a bunch of friends to go down to my friend's parents' trailer. And then another weekend away in August to visit family. And then I am supposed to visit my best friend for a weekend before her wedding so we can scope out the venue. |

| Good ol' Mothers Day |

Tonight was beefy, and the beef was overdone. :? My dad invited himself over for Mother's Day dinner, but having him around turned out okay, I guess. I made some overdone meatloaf muffins, some underdone roasted red potatoes, and some vegetable (overdone) beef soup. I'd better learn how to cook Chinese food. I didn't particularly care for what I made tonight!! And now I am stuffed. All that meat has made me tired, too. This week I'm going to eat as little meat as possible. And I can't wait for this week to be over. I want my energy (and sunny disposition) back!! I'm kind of bored of sitting in front of my computer right now, but I want to wait 'til I finish downloading something. And no D this weekend. I think I try too hard at attempting to control situations and outcomes. I need to give that up!! :lol: |

There's where I'm being driven!! Horny co-worker is on my nerves. He needs to get his horny self away from me. He's not attractive to me!! Does he not know my "no, thanks" for anything not tell him anything? Does he think he can wear me down?? Gah! I don't know what the deal is lately with him. I guess the girl he's been trying to woo is not moving quickly enough for him. Why does he think I make a suitable backup?? :x On another note, the thrill of the chase is back! Horny co-worker suggested I lead D on until I figured out if I was interested in him. I wouldn't feel right about that. But since D has shown less interest, I feel compeled to do something to pique it. Or at least show that I have some interest. What am I doing?? |

It's Friday afternoon, and I thought I had just about completed one deliverable. It turns out there's still a bit more to do. I'm sweating like a pig here, and not in the mood to work. And all I day I had been dreading the Candyman visit. There's this guy at the office who on Fridays visits every single person and gives them a candy or two. Then he makes a bit of chit chat. What he does is great :) But I don't have much to say to him, and it drives me up the wall that if I say "no, thanks" to a candy (or the second one, if I've been polite to take the first), he still tries to talk me into having one. Today he didn't come by. I was all set to make a quick getaway when he got near! No dates this weekend. Just hanging out with Paula and a few others and then Mother's Day on Sunday. I must find some food to go with meatloaf. I think I will roast some vegetables and make some soup. |

I'm wearing these 3 inch heels right now. They look adorable... ON A SHELF. I already knew the quality wasn't very good, but I couldn't resist the way they looked. When I walk around, my shoes squeak big time. And they are starting to pinch even just from sitting down. I'm going to have to get a nice shelf for shoes for my new place. Speaking of which, I still don't think it'll be ready for June 1 :( Right now I'm listening to some Linkin Park on the radio. Certain songs always remind me of people. This song reminds me of J. I don't miss him, but I wonder what he's up to these days. Or rather...does he think of me?? :lol: |

I have a month to meet all my deadlines. That's about 4 or 5 deliverables although I can think of more possibles. More came up today. I thought I had 2 only. I think I will have to start putting in overtime soon. Anyway, since the layoffs, one area I knew I'd be moving into would be updating graphics. Today was a big day of graphics. I got acquainted with Visio, and the SHG files. I'd seriously not done any graphics stuff, except for the odd resizing of pics in PhotoShop. I felt a huge sense of accomplishment after finishing. I just I hope I didn't it all the garbage way!! Last night I went out for dinner with my friend Chris. Soon I will be creating a profile for him for some online dating site! Woo! I haven't heard back from Darren...another blessing in disguise :D |

| Tomato juice on my shoulder |
| 05.04.04 (1:14 pm) [edit] |

Yep, that's where it squirted...the good ol' left shoulder. I hope the juice comes out *L* This juice squirting incident reminded me of yesterday when I went to my doctor's appointment. (Just another little thing that grates on my nerves but makes me laugh.) I was running late on a rainy day. As soon I parked the car and was ready to get out, this little old lady walks up to her car. [I backed into this parking spot, and she had gone in headfirst beside me.] So I had to wait for her to get in her car before getting out. Then this car started backing out while I was trying to walk towards the building, and I had to go through some mud. Then the elevator was not working in the buildling. I walked up 6 stories. My legs only started burning by the 5th floor, thank goodness. The last time I had to take those stairs was when I hurt my leg :lol: |

| Cholesterol |
| 05.03.04 (10:24 pm) [edit] |
|
Well, my doctor wanted to see me because she thinks my cholesterol level is too high for someone my age. I was wracking my brains trying to think what I eat too much of. I thought my diet was pretty healthy, and I do exercise as well. I think I need to cut down on the turkey cold cuts that I've been eating so much of. That's the only food I can think of!! She suggested I do exercise shortly after I eat to help things along. |

My knees have been bothering me lately, but when I was a kid, they used to smile at me. All I had to do was sit and extend my legs in front of me. I guess the combo of fat and skin over my knees made smiles - one on each knee!! |

It tells me it's a start to a new week. Today I'm a little worried. I have to go back to my doctor's for a followup on my blood tests this afternoon. I should've just made an appointment for the morning. Ah well. Not much I can do 'til then!! Last night I went out for a family dinner, and I was exhausted. I don't know why I'm back to feeling tired these days. I wonder if it's a lack of iron...I don't eat lots of red meat, but I do eat dark leafy green vegetables. Hopefully my doctor will just tell me I'm anaemic. Tonight is another family dinner. My aunt says she has a gift for me. My mom think it's one of those George Foreman type grills. But we'll see. I cancelled the newspaper subscription today. I really miss getting the newspaper (or is that not getting the paper...). And Mother's Day is this weekend. I guess I will cook my mom dinner, but I have no idea what to make. |

I need some. I have some, but I need more. Geez, I am supposed to move next month! Some of the goods that I was going to take with me has been taken by my dad. *sigh* (like pots and pans, furniture) No frivolous spending for me for the next 3 weeks, but there is a set of pots and pans and cordless phone on sale that I'd rather buy now. *sigh* For some reason, my parents didn't want me to buy *anything* before I moved, and I listened to them. Now when I complain to my mom and ask her why they suggested it, she just freaks out. "FINE! If you want to buy stuff, go right ahead! I don't care!" I don't know what her problem is. I told her about some pots and pans today that I was interested, and she was like, "What?! I don't have the money to pay for that." But I didn't ask her to pay. Actually, the reason she didn't want me to buy anything was so I wouldn't store it at the current house. I thought that buying stuff on sale right away would be a better idea. But now I have very little and no money :lol: My original plan was to buy one piece of furniture a month. I will probably still do that. My mom's been on my nerves all day. Sometimes I wonder what's making her so bitchy. The only time she ever listens to me is if I talk about my dad. She wants to hear every single little detail. But when it comes to me, I have to repeat myself constantly. I don't know why it bothers me that much. My dad's always been the centre of her life for as long as I can remember. I think my lack of desire to rely on anyone (to the point of never asking for help) stems from lack of parental support. |

So Darren and I had what was probably our last date last night :lol: And it was probably the last time I will watch Kill Bill Vol.1 again for a while. It was my third time seeing it, twice in the last two weeks. Not enough time had passed!! Anyway, I always kick myself for not listening to my gut. Last night was another one of those. I know I was excited to see him, but when I did see him...I felt deflated. During dinner, was thinking, "what am I doing here?!" Darren is pretty hot, funny, and more of a smartass than I am (am I that annoying?! :wink: ), but we didn't click. It was our fourth date last night, and still conversation doesn't flow when we're in person. It's just a lot of smiling and looking at each other. I wish him all the best!! P.S. About the gut feeling...we didn't really click on our first date. He was pleasant, but eh. *shrugs* I read a feature in Marie Claire magazine once where they had couples go on 3 dates, regardless of how well (or not well) the first date went. Some discovered it was a good idea to go out with a guy more than once even if the first date wasn't all that. I've taken to that philosophy!! |
