Wow! I can't believe it is already towards the end of November and I have not had time to update in what feels like a year. Life has been moving fast and shaking hard and I always enjoy a fast and jolting ride. It is nice to have a couple of days off and I am looking forward to relaxing and having some time with...

I have been so busy that I do not know where to start. I went awayn on vacation to Cape Cod for a while and had a great time sea lion and whale watching. I also started my new job as a Youth Advocate so I have been super busy. The job rocks for several reasons.
All my clients are really cool and fun to...

Congradulations on the new job!
Also how much time do you have for a new dog, b/c that would effect what breeds I'd recomend.
billzilla:
It's cool that you like your new job. I'm very happy for you! smile

I took a long weekend to reevaluate my goals and to try to figure out what to do next. I had a great and relaxing weekend. Thurs. night I went to Ichiban to eat with some friends and family. I love to eat there, the chefs always cheer me up and I always eat so much food. I drank just the right amount of sake...

grats on sobriety. it's tough, I find it's even tougher to be sober with kids. I have two girls, and frankly Lately I'm more tempted than ever.

by drink and what-not.

getting outside is good, so is building new circles of non-addictive friends.

but mostly, it's remembering why you dont drink that gives me the most success.

that and rolling around on the floor with the girls and the dog.

biggrin
ont the last item, I'd say you just did.

terrakotta:
But I would love to stay home and paint all day, do yoga, make love to someone, and someties play outdoors

I second that!!! And I say just do the research grant. Who knows when you'll have another chance in life to take this extra time for yourself. Life is too fucken short not to enjoy it. Oh, and by the way, I thought it was funny as hell that you wrote "... masturbated and went to bed. Friday, I went to the Finger Lakes".... hahaha I'm a sick twist, but weren't those two similar activities? biggrin tongue

Missing tests selfish men and working on my ass.

I went hiking this morning and on another geocashing adventure. This one had worry stones in it and it was pretty cool. The hike was easy so I didnt get much of a work out. I only hiked about 2 miles so I will have to go back out tonight and either hike somemore, ride my...

She asked me a question and I gave her a very sarcastic reply via email. Basically I told her to bite me.
dragonkitty:
On the upside at least he's not still your husband. I'm sorry I know that's not very helpful, but I'm not much good at these things. Take care, sorry people suck.

My son went to day camp for the first time today and I was a nervous wreck. I was worried that he wasnt going to have fun, thaIt the other kids would be mean to him, that he would have some crazy child molester camp person take him under his wing. This is our practice run to get me, not him ready for overnight camp...

Renaissance Festival and wishing I hit that hot guy with my Jeep

Today we went to the Renaissance Festival and spent the day in a beautifal fairy tale. We were sang too and harrassed. We watched shows of sword swallowing, fire breathing, knight fighting, and were told tales while being splashed with mud. My son threw tomatoes at a person that was taunting and teasing...

Misery (Stephen King novel and movie starring James Caan and Kathy Bates) is about a nurse who kidnaps a famous author ( her favourite) after he has a car crash...she nurses him better.....until he is fit enough to try and leave eeek
ironstein:
Well done!!!! - and btw, you would only have been a bitch because you thought you were depriving yourself of something good....think about it. Once you realise that smoking is not something "good and beneficial" that you are depriving yourself of, life will become soooooo much easier.

I would suggest Nicotine patches (day time use only else suffer wicked dreams) and a book called Allen Carrs easy way to stop smoking (lots of info about how smokers have been brainwashed etc by quit agencies and tobacco lobby)

Hope I dont sound like a preaching ex smoker smile I'm not due to transform into that for another 7 weeks haha.

If you cave and have a smoke - don't beat yourself up - Do take note of what is and has been happening to your body though....will be very helpful in your quest to stop.

Hiking, swimming with my shoes on and selling gold

The look on my sons face today when he found the cache we were looking for when we were out geocashing was awesome. It was hid in a really cool place where you had to hike a long ways and then crawl under an old fence. It has been raining out so it was super muddy...that...

Do you use GPS for the geocaching?
steve626:
no ebay. Any reputable coin dealer will buy them from you fair. Or even some banks. Gold's up there, like $7-800 an ounce. A very wise investment.

Sounds like a fun day. Although, I hope you don't mess your son up by letting him see you nekkid wink

Today I went geocashing for the first time and I had such a fun time. I am going again in the morning to find a box hidden by some 5 year old out by Lake Ontario...It should be a riot. I had a such a nice and relaxing time doing that...I think it will be a hobby that sticks.

I also went out for some...

can't say that i doo... goodluck,thanks for b-day wishes...
steve626:
no, but it sounds sweet. I used to a ton of backwoods navigation in my youth. Before GPS even. Just a compass, topo map and a mark-1 eyeball.
If you find any boxes full of money up there, I lost it a few years ago ; )

best of luck with the nursing thing...i hope it works out. smile
are you going to have to work your way through? i've heard nursing school is tough. good luck kiss

hope your little guy has a great birthday tomorrow...birthday wishes to him biggrin

thanks for the good vibes. they are much appreciated kiss

hellstorm:
sometimes being honest with oneself can be good. but I've spent so much time hiding who I am from everyone around me (at least parts of who I am), its tough for me to be open even with myself!

plus, since I live in my head as much as I do in the outside world, I have an idea of what its like inside of me.....and its full of so much energy and everything that letting things out can get, well, interesting, to say the least.

but hopefully this stuff helps....if nothing else, moving on regarding my uncle's death!

as for nursing school, I'm pretty sure your experience working in Mental Health will be a benefit as well!

and sumer birthdays can bite....nothing like not having your friends around to celebrate to make it a downer! but hopefully your son had some fun on his special day!

I love being forced to make huge decisions about my future....if I wasnt forced to make them I probably would not have a future. Making decsions are scary and exciting at the same time. I am not talking about what good butt jeans to wear out tonight or what to have for dinner kind of decisions....I am talking about the major ones we all make...

i had to make a choice to leave a job tha ti loved but wasnt getting paid well to get one that is OK but makes me the money to support the ones i love...it was tough
kaleidoscopic:
funny you should ask that, because it's been life changing major decisions that have kept me offline and from talking to you these past few months...

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

i had a heart problem, then my bf decided he couldn't live with me anymore, then i thought that meant i was a bad person and went crazy depressed and self destructive, had to quit my job and move back in with my dad, but now i've seen that the decision even though it was made the worst way possible (he sends me an email breakup after over 2 years together with no goodbye...) is good because he was dysfunctional and messing me up and making me feel shitty about myself for the past few years and he needs therapy and he has a violent temper. all things i couldn't see until i was away from him because i loved the rest of him too much to be objective.



but now i'm free. i can explore my options, get a job in another state that will hopefully lead to a good grad school, and i can love women now without feeling bad or guilty. before i was too scared to do these things because i was afraid of losing him. but now i see he wasn't worth having for the way he treated me. and i can love myself well and i don't have some guy and his judgements making me question whether he's right about me being bad or i'm right about me being good. i am good. he was just too selfish and immature to get it and thought i had to be something i wasn't to be good enough.

i hope that this summer is turning out to be everything you'd hope it would be! warm wishes and big hugs to you and your little guy kiss kiss kiss
