oooh---pretty


Was going through some old drafts and found this. Thought it was still pretty so I decided to post it!

On a side note, I had a long talk with one of the girls at work tonight, and discovered that at 24, she no longer believes in 'love'. It just goes to show the difference between people in this world. She and I have both been hurt by men, and while I doubt I will ever find one that loves me in return [on this side of the ocean] I still believe in 'love' and hope for it. In that, we're very alike...sort of....she says she wants a man to love her, and a family, and a normal life [I didn't have the heart to tell her that there is no such thing, who defines 'normal' ? What's normal to her, wouldn't be normal to me!] But she doubts it will ever happen even more than I do [for myself].

What's sadder, is that I know that there are girls much younger than her that feel the same way. Perhaps I am the foolish one to believe that 'love' still exists in this world?...that men aren't all assholes?... I dunno. Still gonna hope for it :)

Additional Note: The picture is a time lapsed photo of the night sky behind an observatory, I'd have to do some investigating to find out exactly where.

Types of Friends

The other night, the friend that I watch tv and movies with was sharing something she had learned from a MOPS meeting. About the two different types of friends. Since that discussion, I've realized that there are at least 2 more types of friends and goofball that I am, I thought I'd share it all with you! Don't you feel lucky and special? :) 1. Mushroom Friends : These friends spring up over night and are in our lives just for a season. Kind of like the friends I made in school. The season is way over as I didn't even get Christmas cards from them this year [yes, I sent them cards]. 2. Oak Tree Friends : These friendships develop slowly, starting out small and laying down deep root systems. They last forever no matter how far apart the friends grow; time, distance, oceans and death cannot break the bond of friendship. They are the kind that years after being out of communication, if they heard you were in trouble {death in family, illness, etc...} they would drop stuff

A Situation

Ok. I need to think out loud here for a bit while I wait on email. I have a situation going on that could become tough. A bit of background: About 2 years ago, a single man started coming to my church and showed an interest in me. It lasted about a month and a half, with him giving me mixed signals all the time...since I have been praying for a husband for a while now, at the time, it seemed like my prayers were being answered despite the confusion. It all came down one night about midnight in his parking lot and I haven't talked to him since. He only stayed around for another 7-8 months, and those were very hard months. He lied to me and mislead me, often. Like it was second nature for him. It was made even more traumatic by a discovery of mine on a website shortly after he left the area. In September 2005, I had a blind date that was far from fruitful. My singleness and desire to be married is known to all in church, and so... To the present: Yes, another single man has walked in

My Happy Face

There is something wrong in this world when they steal the magnetic smiley face off the back of your car. Which someone has done. But, I only rolled my eyes heavenward and said, "Whatever!" Must be the neighborhood kids were bored or something.
