Ugh

Today was a dreary day. Both weather-wise as well as mood wise. Weather is cold, damp and gloomy. Mood started out happy but went south after an email from Sis1 which basically said that she has more important things to so than celebrate my birthday this weekend.

She's still coming but only for a few hours--probably just in time to eat--but then they have to get back because they've decided that they want to go to the coast a day earlier than they'd originally planned. Not coming Friday night because she wants to go see a movie. Never occurred to her that we have a theater here and could have a sisters night out. 

So yeah. I'm bottom of the priority list. Doesn't surprise me, but still annoys me. Hurts my feelings. 

Then a coworker/friend made me mad with her bossy overbearing know-it-all attitude. Really wanted to snatch her hair out. 

But I took a deep breath, said a prayer and took a page from Elsa's book and let it go. ;-)

I can't change my sister. She is who she is and at 40, she's not likely to change. And the coworker/friend doesn't even realize she's an overbearing bossy know-it-all. And hanging on to my anger and annoyance was only ruining an otherwise bearable day. 

So now I'm at home with a cup of hot coffee and snuggling my Libs. So thankful for Jesus, Libs and coffee. :-D

That royally sucks, but at least your sister is actually coming to see you for a few hours on your birthday. I only heard from one out of seven siblings (that's including the halfs) in a late-day email on my birthday, and nothing from any nieces or nephews. No phone calls, no cards, nothing. I'm not feeling inclined to send any of them a birthday card this year. I get tired of always being expected to be there for and think of everyone else, but am no more than an afterthought to them. IMO, with cell phones and computers all having perpetual calendars, there's no excuse for forgetting these days. In any case, if someone truly matters to you, you remember.

Preach it! haha

I hear you. No excuses. And I wouldn't send any of them a blessed thing and have something better to do when they want something from you. They should get what they give which is NOTHING.

It still hurts, though. So, (((Heather)))

LOL...thanks, Jana! ☺

And can I just say how much I love number verification as opposed to word ver?

I'm Lost

Boy.  Last night was the most intense 2.5 hours of my LIFE. Well, the part of my life that I relegate to television viewing, anyway. Last night, as you may have heard, was THE END for LOST. If you haven't been watching it for the past six years, what were you doing with your life? LOL No, I know. It was one of those things you were either fully emersed in or you didn't want to expend the energy it took to follow it. Because it did take a lot of energy to follow it. And as much as I was held captivated by it, I am really too stupid to really full grasp it. No, seriously. I've read the discussion boards. I've followed other blogs about it. And I'd always be like, "Why didn't I catch that?" or "I completly missed that." My brain is merely too simple to comprehend all the little mysteries and tie-ins and connections that were hidden throughout six seasons of this show. It was no different last night. Honestly, the finale was gripping an...

Me and the boob tube

Ever met someone who is passionate about her TV shows? Well, if not, you have now. Yeah, I'm probably fairly sad with how involved I become with some shows but believe me...I know some folks who are a LOT worse than me. Just trust me on this. I have maybe a handful of shows that I watch without fail whenever they're on and set my VCR to tape if I'm out. (Yeah, I still have a VCR...and I will until they no longer make 'em) Monday night is Medium night. Tuesday night is BB6 in the summer Charmed on TNT in fall. Wednesday is Lost and Alias (in regular season anyway) Thursday night is BB6 in summer and Will and Grace in fall. Friday night sucks since they cancelled Joan of Arcadia. Saturday night is BB6 in summer and Trading Spaces. Sunday night is Desperate Housewives and The 4400 in summer. Everyday things are Gilmore Girls on ABC Family, 30 Minute Meals on Food Network and Bold and the Beautiful. Last night, of course, was BB6. Now, I'm not one to enjoy many reality ...

Ten Things That Make Me Happy Today

Image
1.) Chuck . Chuck makes me very happy. I'm still flying high from the time I spent with him last night. Seriously, it's like the second Zachary Levi walks on screen and gives that trademark smile my heart goes all gooey in my chest and my lips curve up all dreamy smile-ish and for that one hour each Monday night I'm on cloud nine. Pitiful, no? 2.) Her. 'Nuff said. 3.) My friends. All of 'em. Ms. B who I only get to see once a month and chat on the phone every few weeks. E who talks me into field trips to Starbucks so that we can blame each other for being bad. Trix who hated the way Medium ended, too. (And always sends me the awesomest handmade cards.) BFF who calls once a month to update me on the ever shifting drama of her life. (She's doing much better, by the way. Goes back to work next week.) Jen who  once--in a round about way--compared me to the awesome Pioneer Woman. (And who's love story to her fireman still gives me hope that true love real...
