Young, Hip, and Hopeful!

Those are just three mere words that can describe who is now our President. I have to say that I am so excited to have this man lead the United States of America into the future.

I believe that he provides as much hope as JFK did back in his time. There is now a young family in the White House that seems to be in touch with what middle class America needs.

I am so thankful that he is there. He understands that America was built on the backs of our fathers, grandfathers and so on. He understands what this economy means to so many people and that middle class does not make 5 million dollars a year!

Thank you Mr. President for bringing back the hope that had been lost.

I Have Come to Find Out

That when an officer asks you to a concert and you are weighing the options of going and you finally come to your senses (after asking a close friend their opinion) and tell him no, that he gets pissy and doesn't contact you for quite a few days.

I find it somewhat amusing because he is so acting like a girl! I would have never thought that would be possible of him. I can clearly see that I have given him way too much credit in the past.

I am thinking that this is the step that I needed to give this relationship. It isn't closure but for me it is surely a step back. Being able to tell this man no is a HUGE deal for me. He is very well aware of my feelings for him and I am very well aware of his feelings for me. There will always be a connection there, but not like there was before.

It has made me value my relationship that I am currently in a bit more. Knowing that the officer was only on that pedstal because I put him there.

It is very empowering and I am loving every second of it!!!

? HOT or NOT ?

I thought the celeb game of this is just plain, well boring. So let's use real people. These are just random people that I found on the net, but yet very real people.

So here we go!



I think he is pretty hot. I mean for your average guy on the street, he would probably make me do a double take. :)

A BIG Purchase...

With the economy we are in, I am debating on wether or not to make a rather large purchase. We are talking thousands of dollars, enough for bank loan.

I have to admit that I am kind of scared about this one. What happens if I lose my job and default on the loan. There are so many what ifs out there at the moment, that I think it is better for me not to focus on them.

My New Year's Resolution was not to purchase any wants, but needs. This is more of a need than anything, so I guess I have to jump in with both feet.

Anyone else out there scared of an upcoming purchase???

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep...

I have been having these amazing dreams lately. I dream of werewolves and vampires. I kid you not!! What has brought on all of these dreams...one word.

Twilight

I am reading the series written by Stephenie Meyer and I have to say that I am an addict.

I just finished the second book and am starting the third tonite. They are like crack. Even in the parts you don't really enjoy you keep reading like a person that has lost their mind because you know something great is going to happen soon.

I had heard about this series for awhile now and I honestly didn't think I would enjoy them. Who would enjoy a series about vampires that is written for the "young adult". One day a friend suggested the series to me and we have the same taste in reading material so I though why not. I went to my local library and they laughed at me when I requested the book. They told me I would be put on the waiting list. Five weeks later and one day before I go on vacation, I get a call from the library...Twilight is in!

It took me one day to finish off the 500+ page book. The second I put it down I was yearning for the next one. I had to find out what happened. Well, when you are in a different country, books aren't really an easy thing to find, at least not in English. So I knew I would have to wait until I got home. But I couldn't wait another 5 weeks for the next book.

That is when I broke down and ordered the entire series from Amazon. I honestly don't think $45 with free shipping is a bad deal for four hardcover books that are over 500 pages. Heck, you can't buy the last two books in the series under $15 at the moment.

The second book took a little more to get through. There was some backstory to catch up on but on you press, knowing that soon you will be rewarded and it doesn't disappoint.

I am now finding myself wanting a vampire boyfriend. Laugh! Silly but oh so true. I blame it not only on these books but also on everything from The Lost Boys (oh Kiefer) to Interview with a Vampire. There is something very sexy about the vampire. The eyes that they are suppose to have, the cool skin, their striking beauty, the ability to stay forver young and of course they can turn you and you can live forever with them. What is not romantic about that??

I Miss Something

I was going to title this post "I Miss Dating" but in all honesty, that wouldn't be correct. I don't miss putting up the games people play, but I do miss a lot of things that comes along with dating.

I miss the butterflies in one's stomach the moments before the date arrives, I miss the first kiss and those shortly to follow, I miss the first hand holding experience and cuddling, oh and the first sleeping together experience (no I am not talking about sex here but actually being comfortable enough with one another to fll asleep in one another's arms). But let's not kid ourselves, the first time sex is always interesting too! :)

I guess I am a person of firsts! They can be so breathtaking and memorable and at times nothing can beat the frst time of something.

I remember the first time I ever kissed someone I was dating. I think what made it memorable was the whole enviroment. We were on a run in Feburary (think cold, very cold) and it started ouring down rain (again very cold rain). We were on our cool down portion of the run and I just stopped and looked up at the clouds. When I looked back towards the path we were on he was inches from my face. The rain drops were dripping off hisnose and eye lashes. He leaned in and kissed me. As you can guess, I was no longer cold. Actually I thought my knees were going to give out. He melted me right there.

If you are in a relationship do you dinf yourself missing things like that??

Some People Just Refuse To Change

My significant other's best friend really needs to wake up and smell the roses.

He has been in a relationship for several years. Him and his girl were actually engaged at one point. They have had ups and downs throughout their relationship and honestly who hasn't. But he keeps waiting for he to change. And we are not talking minor change here we are talking overhauling her life.

I just don't get it. They have broken up many times and he keeps going back to her saying that he owes her that because she stayed with him for so long. BUT he wants her to change. Shaking head.

I have had many conversations with him in regards to this. She is in her 40's and as many times as she has tried to "change" she never really does. She may put in a front for a couple weeks but that is about all.

What changes does he want her to make? It all basically has to do with growing up. Here are a few just for giggles:

~ Get a full time stable job.
~ Pay your bills on time (her car has been repoed twice now)
~ If you dirty a dish, put it in the dishwasher
~ Stop using cocaine (this one he thinks she has kicked)
~ Quit supporting your dead beat son (who is of age)
~ Do something around the house besides dirty it

So basically this woman is lazy. She has a son who is in trouble all the time who turned 18 last year and she keeps taking him back into this guy's house when he gets in trouble with the law. And he brings with him all the problems that she has.

There was a time I felt sorry for this guy, but I was done with that a LONG time ago because over the three years that I have known him they have broken up 3 times, she has moved out twice and moved back in twice. She is usually fine on her own until she realizes that she doesn't have enough money to maintain her lifestyle. Than she comes crawling back telling this guy she will change, etc. and nothing ever coems through.

Now I just laugh at the situation because neither person will do anything about it. But yet, he keeps on complaining. I finally told him that I don't want to hear anything about it because nothing is ever going to change unless he MAKES it change, which means breaking it off 100% with her and not letting her come back into his life. She is in her 40's and honestly, this woman will never change.
