It’s ok…I’m ok.

So…I know it’s been over a week since I’ve posted anything, but I’ve come to realize that it’s just not possible for me to be one of those bloggers who manages to blog every single day. For one, I don’t have anything of relevance to say each and every day, and two, I’m pretty sure my husband thinks this is ridiculous. Regardless, it helps my mentality to write out my feelings every once in awhile….and that’s why I created this blog in the first place.

We are having blustery winter weather today….in fact, I left work 5 hours early today just so I could make sure I would make it home. Once I started home, I realized that I should have listened to my husband this morning when he said I should just stay home. I should have learned by now that he is usually right (if I want him to know this, I will tell him!). The snow just keeps falling, and it’s beautiful! Wish my husband was home so we could cuddle up in front of the fireplace.

Wednesday night,  Tracy asked me to go with her and her sister to eat at Fuji again and see the movie “It’s Complicated” starring Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin, and Steve Martin.

SO MUCH FUN! I don’t think I’ve laughed that hard in awhile. The food was good, the company was great, and the movie was hilarious! I’m so glad I was invited, and I’m so thankful for mine and Tracy’s friendship! Truly one in a million!

Speaking of friendship, I was reading earlier about what to do when a friend betrays you (which recently occurred in my little corner of the world) and wanted to take the time to reflect on the steps the article gives:

1. Determine if the whole thing was a misunderstanding.  Ha! Really?? Is it REALLY possible that I could have taken it the wrong way?? Ummm, let me think….NO!
2. Keep things in perspective. The whole situation may not be as bad as you think. Riiighhht! It’s not really that bad…since when??
3. Do not be afraid to seek help and talk about it with others. Pretty sure everyone is sick of hearing about it.
4. Be willing to forgive, despite your anger. Ummm…ok. Forgiven (b/c I know it’s the right thing to do).
5. Consider whether or not you want to maintain a friendly relationship with this person. Ummm…No thanks!
6. If you find that you no longer want to be friends with this person, sever all ties with them. Done!
7. Refocus your life. Don’t let anyone who has betrayed you maintain a grip on your emotions.  This is the one step I need to focus on.  I’m letting this one person’s actions have total control over my feelings….and I’m not doing it anymore! I have to move on….it’s SO not worth it to live day after day asking “Why?” and wondering what I did OR didn’t do to cause her to act the way she has. Because really there is no answer to “why,” and there’s nothing I’ve done or didn’t do to cause her stupidity. 

 ”Friendship is not about who you’ve known the longest, it’s about who came and never left your side.”

 So…I’m moving on, and this means taking down one of my favorite wedding pictures of me with my bridesmaids, and it’s ok…I’m ok.

 

Random Thoughts

It’s been a busy week….Let’s see:

Tuesday Night – Weight Watchers and Dinner with Dad

Wednesday Night – Early 30th B-Day Party with Friends at Fuji Steakhouse (sooo much fun)

                 

Thursday Night – Finally a night at home

Tonight (Friday Night) – Toured Josh and Candy’s new house on “snob” lane and had dinner with the fam.

I was off Monday and busy the entire week, but it seemed like the longest week EVER!

Not sure what Scotty and I will do this weekend for my birthday. I wanted to do something special, but it’s supposed to rain. I’m thinking that “antiquin” and dinner sounds good. I know…I know….BORING. What do you expect out of a soon to be “30″ year old??

So…it’s late and I’m tired, but I’m going to leave you with a few random thoughts:

• Nothing sucks more than the moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.
• I totally take back all those times when I was younger when I didn’t want to nap.
• Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you HOW the person died.
• You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren’t going to do anything productive for the rest of the day (this happens to me a lot lately).
• “Do not machine wash or tumble dry” means I will never wash this – EVER.
• I hate it when I miss a call just by the last ring, but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and then goes to voice mail. What did you do after I didn’t answer….drop the phone and immediately drive to Wal-Mart??
• I think everyone has a movie that they love so much that it actually becomes stressful to watch it with other people. I’ll end up wasting 90 minutes nervously glancing around to confirm that everyone’s laughing at the right parts.
• How many times is it appropriate to say “What?” before you just nod and smile because you still don’t understand what they said?
• I find it hard to believe there really are people who get in the shower first and then turn on the water…I mean, really??
• Why is it that I get nervous when we go around the room and tell who we are and where we’re from??  I know who I am and where I’m from…this shouldn’t be a problem.
• I keep some people’s numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
• I wonder if cops ever get ticked off that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit.
• I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I bet that on any given Friday or Saturday night, more kisses begin with Miller Lite than Kay.

Well that should give you something to think about for awhile! Here’s to a great weekend!

 

 

I’m going to be 18….with 12 years experience

So….second day of blogging.  Hmmm….not exactly sure what to write about, so guess I will just let you in on my non-eventful day.

Thanks to MLK and the career I’ve chosen, I had the day off. It was nice to go to bed Sunday night knowing that Monday would not be ANOTHER typical “Monday.”  I seem to ruin many a Sunday night just because I’m dreading Monday. I know…it sounds ridiculous. And I’m pretty sure my husband thinks so too, but I despise Mondays. Seriously…I.Hate.Mondays.

I did accomplish quite a bit on my day off though. Laundry, a manicure, caught up on all the tv shows I didn’t have time to watch last week….AND I worked out with Jillian Michaels. Pretty sure I won’t be able to walk tomorrow, and I only started with level one. But, I can definitely tell that if I stick with it, there WILL be results. It’s called the “Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred.” You should definitely try it (at least once).

 

One week from today, I will turn 30. For some reason, it’s really bothering me. And it bothers me that it bothers me.  But then again, I think I will turn this around and make my 30th year all about Sarah. And I don’t mean that I am going to be selfish…just that I’m going to do some things that I’ve been putting off and things that hold me back from bigger and better things. It’s funny that in high school if someone asked what age was old, I would’ve said ”30.”  Ughhhh 

But…if there is one thing I’ve learned from watching ‘Desperate Housewives,’  it’s that 3o is the new 20. 

 

 Here are a few things I would like to accomplish my 30th year (in no particular order):

1. Stop worrying about things I can’t control.
2. Spend more quality time with my family and my husband (even though we work different shifts).
3. Create a new “home” for my husband and I – soooo excited about this!!
4. Grow spiritually.
5.  Lose the last 10 pounds and be healthy doing it. (Thanks to Weight Watchers!)
6.  Start scrapbooking - I have tons of scrapbooking stuff, just haven’t used it yet.
7.  Be a better friend.
8.  Stop procrastinating. (This will be hard….I’ve always been a procrastinator.)
9.  Run a 5k.
10.  Spend more time in my artwork.

 

Well…I think I’ve rambled long enough for just my second day of blogging. Can’t guarantee that every blog will be this lengthy. But for now I’m signing off.

Here We Go…

When I started getting links to everyone’s “cute little blogs” I told myself, “I’m NEVER going to have one of those. I can’t even keep up with scrapbooking!” But here I am. I’ve decided to enter this new and exciting world. Although my life is quite ordinary, I’ll try to make this as enjoyable as possible! Besides you only live once and it’s important that you document it. So…Here’s to day one of blogging! (Is that a word??)
