A really great weekend :)

This weekend was great. I took a couple of Advil PM's Friday night and woke up Saturday at 10 am. After eating breakfast, I propped up on the couch to watch the TV and fell asleep (note to self, don't take two anymore LOL). I woke up again about 1 pm and felt a lot better. I worked a little on my school stuff and then cross stitched for a while. I got to talk to my BF of course and everything is great with him. He got to spend the weekend with his girls.
Sunday we didn't do much. I got up and did the usual eat and sit and watch TV for a while. We were deciding whether or not to brave the rain to go see PawPaw. It had started pouring rain so we weren't going if it didn't stop. I got to cross stitch more on on Dragon Ride and watch most of the Deadliest Catch season. My DBF wants to go be a crabber after his retirement from the Navy. It finally stopped raining and we went to PawPaw's for dinner and went to Walmart for some groceries.
Yesterday, I went to work and everything when ok. Got home and visited with my neighbor for a little while and talked to the BF for a little bit. I think 90% of our calls drop (AT&T has the fewest dropped calls, yeah right :P). I did a stitch-a-long for the TWBB and worked on Dragon Ride again.

I'll work tonight on the rest of the head. I've also gotta make signs for our community market this Saturday :)

Other people...

Today is not a good day. For some reason certain people around me seem to think that I’m delusional. Why, you may ask. Cause I’ve got a really sweet BF. The kind of man I’ve always wanted. The person in question is NOT a friend, she is an obnoxious former co-worker, and she’s jealous that he chose me and not her. Her biggest problem is that she is rather large (like 2 or 3 of me) and he wasn’t attracted to her. It didn’t help that she is a loud mouth. So now she’s calling me delusional and calling me a word that rhymes with witch. That’s fine with me. I know where her education level is now (she may have gone to community college, but I don’t think her brain advanced past middle school). I’ve been the bigger person by not saying anything to her, and believe me the opportunity is there. What really bothers me is that the person I work with, that I consider a friend, is agreeing with her and she is the one that introduced us. Ok, I’ll just have to suck it up and not speak to her for a while, with the exception of work related conversation. I talked with my BF at lunch and he just said to tell them that we weren’t dating anymore and to not wear my promise ring and a necklace that he gave me.

Fun, fun, fun...

I'm having sooo much fun this week.
I emailed my daddy to tell him happy father's day Sunday. I don't call anymore. I hate talking to his answering machine. He never answers on the first try and it normally takes a few days for him to get back to me (if he does at all). He emailed me back a few hours later (daddy lives in TN with his new wife and stepdaughter). I really miss my dad, but he chose this life and there's nothing I can do about it. Oh well, I got to go see my PawPaw at least.
My DBF made it home to CA Sunday and went out with his three girls (he paid for dinner of course they're too young for jobs :)). He's got today off work, mainly because he's heading to Vegas on Thursday. Poor guy doesn't get a lot of home time between trips. We've been together for 3 months now, it's funny how quickly time goes when your happy :P
I got a more done on my dragon ride. I'll post a picture of it later.
I've also learned the people at my post office are idiots. My BF left his pocket knife at my house Tuesday night and we didn't find it until after he was in FL. Well I went to mail it to him and the ladies at the PO (who I've known most of my life) asked what I was shipping to a military address in CA. So I told them it was a pocket knife and some other small things. But that the knife was taped and bubble wrapped shut and wouldn't open. They said that I couldn't ship it and that only the knife manufacture could ship them. Well I went to a different PO today and they didn't question what I was shipping. Well, when I got back to work I checked the USPS website and it lists all the items that you can't ship and lo and behold knives aren't on the list. Oh well some people just think they know everything.

What a week :)

I'm having a pretty good week, so far. Sunday my BF left CA to go to FL to drop of a bus there. He drove all day Monday to get to my house. He got in about 11 pm. While I was waiting for him to get in I fixed a new blanket for him. I knotted the edges of a fleece panel with a Navy logo print. I went and met him at his truck and we decided to spend the night in the truck. That was a first for me, sleeping in the back of an 18 wheeler. But I was shocked that the bed was very comfortable (a little small for two people, but I was with him so I didn't care :) ).
We got up around 6 and went to the store to get stuff for breakfast and then headed to my house. He finally got to meet my mom. After breakfast I got dressed for work (bummer) and dropped him off at his rig. He drove the front back to my house and hung out there working on his Baja Buggy. My neighbor (who's like a grandmother to me) introduced herself to him. She called me at work to let me know that he was out in the sun working on his toy (it was about 96 degrees yesterday) and offered for him to use her carport. I went home for lunch and convinced him to bring the toys inside and work on it in the living room (mom had already said it was ok). After I got off work, we got to spend the rest of the night chilling with my mom and watching tv. I cooked him some stuffed bell peppers, which he loved :). He even took the two leftover ones for the road.
We went back to the lot where he left his trailer and he rehooked the trailer up (that was interesting to watch) and we spent the night in his truck again.
We were going to get up at 4 am so he could get on the road, but he kept hitting the snooze button and didn't get up until 6 am. I told him goodbye and headed to my house to get ready for work and he hit the road to FL. He should be there by 1 or 2 this afternoon. He may get to come back thru on his way home, but we won't know until later.
Other than that work's been a pain in the butt. My stupid boss called me yesterday on my way back from lunch and asked me where I was (I was 10 mins late cause my lunch and the heat got my stomach upset). Thankfully he left and didn't come back.
Today's going slow. I have a few things to do at work.
I didn't get to work on my Dragon Ride at all so far this week. I'll work on it tonight.

Having a Great Week :)

This week is going great (I probably shouldn't say anything). I have a small garden at my mom's that I've been growing bell peppers and some herbs in, well I picked 6 huge bell pepper Monday.

I stuffed them and me and mom had them for dinner, lunch and dinner again on Tuesday.
Plus I've gotten a lot done on my Dragon Ride Cross Stitching.

Makes it better is the boss is out of the office for the day. It's so nice having him out. I can study while hes gone :P
Better get back to work ;)

Half way thru the week

Well it's Wendnesday. Half of the week is done. The week's been pretty good. Monday I got to work on my dragon ride

I found out that my BF will be coming this way next week on his way to FL, so I'll get to see him at least for a night :).
Yesterday I got my first shippment of study materials from my school (Penn-Foster) and sat at work yesterday afternoon and took the first exam. I got a 100% :). I went home and picked 6 huge bell peppers from my garder and stuffed them for dinner (and lunch today and dinner tonight :P).
Today's been fairly boring at work. Not too much to do, waiting on the advertising staff to turn in their stuff for next weeks papers. Oh well, I'd rather be a little bored than have so much to do I don't know where to start.

Weekend fun...

This past weekend was a fun trip. Me and mom spent Saturday sitting at a booth at a local community market. We were selling handmade jewelery, barrettes and some of my collection of Beanie Babies.
We got to the market about 8 am and began setting up our table. About 9 am the market officially opens (mind you this is an outside market so people are walking around before 9. We got a good spot in the shade, well mostly in the shade ;). We made almost a hundred dollars (mostly on the Beanies LOL). I walked around the market to see what everyone else had; there were a few other vendors selling jewelry (cheaper than mine, but mine looked better), one man was selling handcarved wooden roses. I had to buy some (2 dozen was only $12). They had a group set up down the street cooking what I thought was fried fish (turned out to be chicken wings) but it still smelled great. Some others were selling jambalaya and hot sausage po-boys. They had a band playing and we could hear them from the table. I got the biggest kick out of the little kids seeing the Beanies on the table and running up begging for "just one mommy".
We left the market and went to my Paw paw's house to check on the progress with my car bumper being painted (I hit a pole at the ex-BF's house and tore up the front bumper and the right headlight last October.) My uncle said the weather was finally warm enough to paint the bumper. When we got there they had already finished putting the fourth coat of paint on and it was drying :). So we had dinner with my Paw paw and two of my uncles. And when we left they remined us to come back on Sunday to get the car fixed.
I got up Sunday ready to go get the bumper fixed (the Credit Union that my loan is thru had the repair check in my Savings account with a hold on it until the repairs were done), but mom had clothes to wash and I started working on my Dragon Ride (cross stitch) and didn't want to stop. We finally went at about 2 pm, my uncles got the damaged bumper and headlight off and popped the new ones in place :)
I went today on my lunch break and got the funds released so I can pay for the paint and put a little up for my trip to CA this fall to visit my BF.

What a difference a year makes :)

Where to start. Last year I was in a very bad place. In February my BF of 6 years decided to end our relationship. I was crushed, this was the man I thought was my soulmate. I spend two weeks in denial. I cried a lot, didn't sleep or eat, I lost a lot of weight (I didn't weight a lot to begin with). Friends were worried, my family was very worried. I hit rock bottom at week three. I was sitting at work, not getting anything done from the thoughts in my head. I looked over to my boss Rodney (who's like a second dad to me) and crying told him I was going to the Doctor to get help. That was the best decision for me. The doctor put me on Cymbalta (an antidepressant) and they have helped me a lot. After about a month apart he contacted me. I was the happiest person in the world. We stayed together until March of this year, but I wouldn't say seeing him once in three months being together. I realized that I really didn't love him any more, and I could tell the feeling was mutual.
In March I met my current BF. He's older (He's 37 and I'm 29), he's got 4 daughters and is getting ready to retire from the Navy. We met thru a mutual friend when he came this way and want to meet someone new. We went out with that friend and one of her other friends (very loud and obnoxious). He was on his way to Florida to drop off a bus at the base there. He asked me to go with him, but only knowing him for a few hours I didn't go. He came back thru that Sunday and we went out again, this time with another guy that he's friends with.
After that I decided to officially end the first relationship. I had some of his shorts and I backed them up and sent them along with a letter telling him goodbye. He didn't take it very well. He was upset that I didn't drive 45 minutes to his house to deliver the shorts (and retrieve the items that I had left). Oh well, he's never been happy with anything why should this be any different.
Now I can focus on my new relationship. I don't get to see him everyday, he lives in CA until next May. But I do get to talk to him almost everyday. He's been really good to me and very supportive of my decisions.
Last week I enrolled in school to become a Medical Transcriptionist (just for a part-time at home type thing) and he thought it was a great idea.
