Another Addiction… January 17, 2008
I’m thinking this is going to be THE event of the year…
I’m thinking I need a date for this one…
Ramblings
I haven’t got any set idea for this so it might turn out to be a bit of a mishmash so bare (bear? which is it?) with me! So far 2008 has been great. It’s been full of everything good and not nearly as much bad as you’d think. Beautiful men with great kisses, kitty love, acknowledging good friends, starting exercise regimens, new knitting projects, seeing your most favorite of musical artists in concert!, sharing beautiful times with beautiful people, starting school, reconnecting with old friends. and forgiving not so old friends for their weaknesses and mine when it comes to them.
This is just a little of what’s happened in the first 17 days of the year. I can honestly say that I’m happy with life how it’s turning out so far. I have goals and way’s I’d like to see things in my life progress but I don’t want to get to far ahead of myself. Doing the “Living in the Moment” thing so many people have tried to teach me. It feels good when I can remember to do it!
I was talking to a former boyfriend recently about how we met and I realized how much I’ve changed. How bold I was then and how I’m not so bold now (with men I like) it’s kind of sad. I think that should be one of my goals this year, to not be afraid of rejection and what they think of me. I need to apply that to all areas of my life not just in dating.
Thanks for listening to my ramblings. Not the great post I set out to have it be, but it is what it is…
Movies!
Blood Diamond – I was at my grandparents last weekend and they have Satellite TV and I was flipping through trying to find a good movie. I settled on Blood Diamond and my grandma watched it with me. I’m sure it was more violence than she likes and it was for me as well but it was so good. It’s not an unfamiliar topic to me. I stopped wanting anything to do with diamonds (conflict free or not) in like 1998 or so. It’s so nice to see something else about it. My grandma and I talked about it during the movie and a little after. She kept saying “I had no idea” so it felt good to be able to share something like that with her.
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy – I’ve seen this one ages ago but it was on so I watched it again. Anything with Mos Def in it is good! Plus Hi I’m a geek! I read the book at 13 and was delighted to find out that my favorite number is THE number! It was really fun to watch the movie again and the scene where they are all knitted is my favorite. I really should get a copy for my library. It’s fantastic.
Once my netflix starts up again (new CC # kind of messed me up and then I over spent so it’ll be tomorrow before I get it paid and on to more movies.) you can look forward to my reviews of Dexter and other movies that I can’t remember at the moment.
Have a great day!!!
Girlfriends!!
I went to a personal development conference a few weekends ago and met a lot of really great people. I had a lot of conversations about life and whatnot as we were urged to do. One such conversation made me think about how lucky I am to have the people in my life that I do. He asked me who my best friend was and I told him that it depends. He asked me who I called when you I needed someone talk to. I told him that I had a lot of friends that I called for different reasons. I think that he found that amazing.
A while ago my friend and former Jennea and I went out with friends and drank a little to much beer so we had one of those long rambling conversations that don’t make a lot of sense but do once you really think about it. I started talking about who I’d want in my wedding party if/when I get married (it’s a girl thing) and I realized I have a lot of people I want to include in that moment in my life. I’ve never thought of myself as being someone who would have a big wedding, or a big wedding party. Can you have a small wedding with a lot of bridesmaids?
“Why are you talking about weddings” you ask? I guess it’s the best way I can think of to honor the females I’m closest to by inviting them to be witness to your most special of days. Even if I never have a wedding I’ll still always plan on who I’d want in that bridal party. I’m lucky to have such an amazing group of women I can call Friends.
