Re: Deep (and not so deep) Thoughts-Say Anything
Stumbled upon this in an email signature this morning from a customer in Nigeria.
"NO MAN EATS (SWALLOWS) HIS PRIDE AND DIES OF CONSTIPATION" oooOO Yes!
I got terrible news from a friend this morning. She posted something on FB about being very sad and dealing with a lot. Then she sent me a PM. Her Mom is in the process of being diagnosed with multiple cancers - liver, uterine, possibly lung. We have been friends since I was in 9th grade and I consider her Mom to be like a Mom to me. I effing HATE cancer.
Cancer sucks. I'm sorry, Harmony. Lots of prayers for your friend and her family.
me too. a family friend was just transfered to a hospice facility. she has small children (one not even in elementary). she has fought SO HARD to buy every minute she could for a cure or a better treatment so she could be here for her kids. she lived way longer than her diagnosis should have allowed. she has advocated for cancer patients and research. but the cancer has taken over and her body can't handle the treatment anymore. was a sad end to my day yesterday.
That makes my heart so heavy. I'm sorry, S.
Reading back -- good thoughts and prayers for you too, Kasey. Big hugs.
Yeah it made me think of my mom, when Kennedy was shot she was working at a hospital here in Houston, she normally worked in billing but she was covering for a girl who was on break---she was working the switchboard. She says every single light lit up.
Could not agree more with that statement. So sorry
that strikes me as partially entreprunerial and partially ***-ish.....i get sucked into those extreme couponing shows so i know a lot of work goes into it. but at the same time, it's not something to take advantage of and most of them do it to that extreme to fill some void/need/obsession. they should DONATE all that crap to people who truly need it - and use the write off!
i'm a travel junkie and don't have many obligations (i.e. KIDS) that prevent it. i'm always up for a trip. or three.
I am really freaking happy right now. I just had to get that out there.
It was bonus announcement day for us and for the first time in a long time I feel like I've been rewarded for the very long hours I've put in to make this ship (or my small part of it) run. I was funded at 197% of budget; blew me away.
CONGRATS, almond! I am certain you deserve every penny!
All of this makes me deliriously happy.
The Mad Men episode that adresses it is really, really good.
We're spending the last night in our 1st home tonight and I'm a little emotional. We spent our wedding night here, brought our babies here from the hospital, they took their first steps here, etc.
But at least we'll get to bring home one baby to the new house- yeah the hormones are not helping (don't say anything on FB, I'm not "out" yet).
oh wow! Congrats! The Nestie baby wave is in full effect.
Oh wow, congrats! You make super-cute babies!
I agree!
AH!!!!! Missy!!!! So excited for you, congratulations, girl! And yes, you do make super cute little ladies
And congrats on the new house!
I totally empathize...when we left our Pearland house, as excited as I was to move out to Memorial, I cried. Same as y'all, we moved into our brand new P-land house three days after our wedding, brought Charlotte home there, she took her first steps there, I was there when I found out my dad was being taken to the hospital....SO many emotions there. It took me a while to feel like our new house was truly HOME ~ like a few months ~ but I got there and now I can't imagine us anywhere else. You'll get there
I think that it's finally hitting me that I really enjoy the time and companionship of my "friend" for the last couple of years, but those "romantic" feelings that I had for him have disappeared. I care deeply for him; love spending time with him, miss him when we are not together, but I just don't think that I love him like that. Feelings that I have always kept to myself because all that was going on when we met.
He's not really ready for a commitment right now; divorce has only been final for a year and strangely enough, I am ok with that. I am ok with just paling around, going on rides together, spending the weekend together, etc.
I just don't understand why i am ok with that. Am I settling? I just don't understand.
congrats!
Congrats!!
Congrats!
Congrats! Here's to healthy babies!
Congrats Missy!!!! I will not be disappointed or upset at all if you have another beautiful girl. Which is my guess BTW
I don't think you are settling, but I also don't want you to see him as "safe" and potentially avoid meeting someone you DO have the romantic feelings for.
Or avoid meeting someone who thinks you are the center of the universe and will move and heaven and earth to make you happy!
I took some steps to get out and meet more people last night. Started taking CW dance lessons. Which was fun. But I had to force myself to go. I have gotten so comfortable being with him and doing things with him, that I feel like I am being "unfaithful" but know that I am not. Hell, we had a conversation dating others last weekend and that it was ok to do that. Thus the confirmation that we are not in a committed relationship. I just don't get what I am feeling.
Maybe I am missing Corey. Maybe I really do need to sell the house and move. I need something because this rut is just not where I need to be
I still have my Match profile up... You gals wanna help rewrite it? I suck at talking about me. And I surely am not getting anything with what I have right now.
I agree too!! Congrats!
HA! But you know if you have another girl you have to have 11 more babies to try to have a boy and/or counteract three girls.
