Taking a deep breath and calming

It was somewhat of a long weekend, but it's over. It was great getting to see the nephews again, although I had an amusing time convincing the oldest one that he was indeed my nephew!


Would you like to know what I want?

I want to go someplace where nobody knows me [well, to a degree].

I want to go someplace where nobody knows my family.

I want to go someplace where nobody knows my past, especially my failures.

I want to be known for who I am...not somebody's sister or daughter.

Selfish, aren't I? :)

I don't think it's selfish...I think that perhaps you are looking for anonymity. We all want that at one time or another. I imagine Jesus must have felt like that some times, but he knew his higher calling.

I'm from a small town in Northern Maine...everyone knew me, my family, our comings and goings, and yes, our entire family history. That's why I left home at 18...I did a brief stint back there, but wouldn't go back to live ever again.

Just look within yourself and remember that you are a work in progress - God's willing to work with you and for you to make you perfect in his eyes.

You are there, to a degree. I don't know your failures {unless you tell me} I don't know your family {unless you tell me} See what I'm getting at. I have no pre-concieved notions of you or your family. There is no failure as long as you learned a lesson from the lack of judgement.

Join the Army...LOL...it will make you love home though! I understand what you mean...I am the youngest of four girls and had quite a time of it growing up. I was always Karen's little sister...or one of those Szeker girls. Strange. Anyway, maybe you should get away...I don't know. Maybe visit England or someplace like that? ;)

I think I know what you mean Ciera.

Forget the past ans any so-called failures; look to the future.

I don't think you really want that, Ciera. You're too mired in your hometown. You just don't want the baggage of living there but you do want the familiarity and comfort. Of course I could be wrong...

Linda - nice to see you and Thanks for the encourgement.

Paige - yeah, but I can't "live" here! LOL!

MC - A trip tp England is actually being discussed, although the prevailing opinion among my friends and family is that England should come visit me first. But if I had $1000 just lying around, I would have been there yesterday. And-----"I'm in the Lord's Army...I'm in the Lord's army...."

Jean-Luc: Thanks. And I love how you ignore MC's comments---it really rather amuses me.

Utenzi - mmmmm, yes and no. MC hits on the problem well enough..I'm always somebody's sister or daughter. I's really love to go somewhere that the people wouldn't just look at me and go, "Hey, you're so and so's daughter" Argh.

Ah, Daydreamer...I'll make sure England sees this comment --- his family will love it.

Hmm, since that was a three part comment on Daydreamer's part...I wonder if the Captain is saying he's sure about all three...or just one....hmmmmmmmmmmmm......

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.

My Brother's Question and Answer Segment

As you all know from yesterday's post and comments, my brother slammed me on a few of my survey answers. I've left his questions/comments in black and my answers in blue. Letter: Q Now, I wonder why you would like the letter Q. I wonder what Jean-Luc REALLY thinks about that? Uhm---it's the only Star Trek related letter. :P Any comment Jean-Luc?? Body Part on Opposite sex: smile Age you wanna lose your Virginity: How old am I now? LOL Can these two answers really correspond? It sounds to me like you might be lying in one of these. What???? Sex doesn't start with a smile? Besides....you should see his smile. Strawberry or Watermelon: watermelon What! Watermelon! You...You... TRAITOR! :P Kiss or Hug: both Now, this answer seems to correspond well with both your answers in the above mentioned two questions. And your point is? Rap or Punk: rap You really like rap? Uhm...I think TobyMac counts as rap and I like a few of his songs. I also like hiphop. Wanna see me dance with ...
