30: month one

It has been almost one month since I turned the dirty 30 as people say.  This Saturday my dear friend Erin is getting married and I am still dateless for the celebration.  Its looking more and more like I might be taking my mother to the wedding.  *sigh*  Unless I man up and just ask someone.  Well one someone in particular.  I'm really considering my friend John.  He's funny, a blast to hang out with, and pretty easy on the eyes. *insert chuckle here*  Sadly I don't know why I'm so afraid to ask him.  He's a great person, even if he couldn't go, I can say I tried right?  Then I'm also back at square one... What to do what to do....  Tho this is to be a happy time, I'm a bit sad...I kinda wish it was me... I'd love to be getting married, starting my family, a new life with my husband...but alas it is not in my cards for the time being.  I will put on my happy face, celebrate with the happy newlyweds, and toast to new beginnings!

wowee wow wow

Well much has happened in the last month, hence no recent blogs. 

First off on a bit of a high note.  Started hanging out with a new guy.  Not sure what we are yet, but I do enjoy spending time with him, he makes me laugh.  I really like him (yeah high school-clichey here but its how I feel..) and I get the impression he feels very similar.  Just afraid to ask.  Lately I haven't had a good track record with men.. (Justin comes to mind....loser.)  I really enjoy spending time with him and just hanging out with him.  I'd love to spend more time with him and him living here in my hometown makes it easy when we do.  Who knows, just got to let God work in His mysterious ways and be patient (tho its never been an easy virtue for me to deal with, being rather impatient when its something I really, REALLY want).

Secondly, my father is currently still recovering from his bout with double pnuemonia.  Yes, double.  He'd fallen and while recovering at home, he'd slept, flat on his back, for 48 hours.  Fluid built up, breathing became very shallow.  Thankfully my wonderful aunt, she called and got him to the hospital in time.  I will love her forever for this.  He was very close to dying.  I don't know what I'd do if he had...I really don't want to... On a good note tho is that my sister and neice are coming down to visit us! I can hardly wait to see them!!  I wish she lived closer so I could spoil!! 

Good note, my dear friend Jackie and I are going to town to go to the movies.  We plan on seeing The Hunger Games.  I've read all three books in the series before of the inkling of a movie.  Now that that has happened, I'm excited to see how it compares since the author of the books actually co-wrote the screenplan and chose the actress that plays Katniss.  Yay! So excited for Monday!!!

Holiday Season yet again...

Ahh tis the Christmas season once again.  You can feel it in the are and see it in the streets no matter where you are.  The only thing I feel is missing is some snow.  Truely it doesn't feel like Christmas without a little snow on the ground.  Not asking for a lot, just a few inches so Bailey and I can play in it. :)

This is also a tough time of year for many people, myself included.  People losing homes, losing jobs, losing family...sad anytime of year, but doubly so during this time of year... This time of year is supposed to be joyous, not sad. 

Today I found out from my dear friend and adopted sister April, that a dear friend of the family's had passed away over the night.  Bob was a dear and funny man..lived a good life, but sadly was doing rather poorly the last few months.  Sad to see him go but I know he is in a better place and no longer in any pain. Rest in Peace Mr. Matheus, you will be sorely missed...

In other news around the way, my personal life seems to be going fairly well.  I was sick a couple weeks ago with a nasty 24 hour flu bug that was going around.  I literally wanted to die.  I hadn't had the flu since probly around 10 or more years ago.  Well, Justin came out after he got off work Saturday and brought me gatorade and kept me company for a couple hours.  He didn't have to do any of that but I really appreciated it.  Unfortunatly he got sick too...on sunday..  It hit him about as long after as it did me.  Several people got sick that weekend, including my dad.  Was not a good weekend to know this girl's family and friends...Everyone is now better and no longer sick. :)

I am all but done with my Christmas shopping, now comes the fun part of the whole holiday season...wrapping! hahahahahahaha!!!

Wind-blown Wednesday

Well the wind is back again...its supposed to be here until sometime tomorrow... Grrr...I hate all this wind we've been getting lately...GO AWAY!!!!  I am done with you!!!!

Today was a rather frustrating day.. Slow due to the wind coming up, my father accusing me of doing something to the computers.. I did not.. *sigh* I'm glad this day is relatively over. 

What would make this day REALLY good is that this wind just blows itself to another county.

Really looking forward to this weekend.  I can't wait to see my friend and sister of the heart Jennifer.  I haven't seen her in ages and miss her face!!  Keepin' my fingers crossed and knocking on wood that nothing comes up to stop us!!
