Babnanas 9: Something snappy.....Like BACON!!

[TarzansKat]

....just back for a few - before the lunch bell rings....

Lunch. I'm starving, but have been dealing with a very active toddler. Hoping to eat soon. Perhaps during nap time.

When is nap time? Can we bump that up today?

Thanks.

I just got a lot of guilt / pity me in the form of "niceness."

So I have responded in a very articulate, kind way that expresses how I feel without coming off like a you know what. I really attempt not to hurt people's feelings, because that is just part of my personality, but honestly, I also need to stand up for myself and what I feel.

I just don't have room in my life for a lot of drama since my mother passed. Okay, that's not true, there is drama, and you can't help that sometimes, but I don't need to surround myself with it. That's a better estimation. And this particular individual can be a lot of drama, most of the time. And I just don't have the energy for it.

I totally understand. I stopped talking to a majority of my family after my mom died because I wanted to limit the drama. Now I have a friend I'm backing off from because the whole relationship has become drama or what can I do for her. Though my way of dealing isn't always the best. I avoid and hope it all goes away so that I don't have to deal with confrontation.

Wow, I feel like I could have written that post. If we get to meet up, we'll have to dish. I don't like confrontation either, but I wrote a very articulate message this morning about my feelings that I felt was pretty diplomatic as well, and truthfully, I'd really lack to back off for a while. I just need a break.

That does sound yummy.

Drama is just a way for people to get attention, and get someone to side with them. I have given up relationships as they were no good for me. I don't need drama in my life, I choose not deal with it. If someone wants to be mad at me, then it will eat away at them not me..

Good point.

And as someone else (a dear friend) pointed out to me, nothing is being done to me, I am allowing it to continue. Know what I mean?

Looking forward to swaying in a hammock at CBR with my Nook. I just bought one of those ebooks from Barnes and Noble that's 25 classic novels for $1. Was really excited, looking forward to rereading some favorites and reading others for the first time.

I know what you mean, as soon as you don't give in, they eventually give up as they know you as not getting involved. Enjoy the vacation for me..I just got a book on my kindle, 400 pages. Ever since I got this kindle I read books faster than if it were paper!

I know exactly what you mean! I read quickly anyway, but now I am plowing through books because I have a Nook. I love it! I love being able to get interlibrary loans for my Nook or in "real" form. So nice to have multiple options. I have a hard time buying books because I read so quickly, so there's little I actually purchase nowadays.

What's the 400 page book?

I think its called Bride of Honor.

 

[TarzansKat]

Good so far?

Right now I'm reading Diva, which is part of The Flappers series by Jillian Larkin. I alternate between young adult and adult fiction.

 

[usnuzuloose]

Yes, it is about a pastor who is looking for a bride. I think it may date to the period of the 1800's I think. I am trying to read it slow. Other wise I will need to buy another book. I also play on pogo. And I belong on another thread. Boy is it tough to keep up.

You are busy!

I am tooling around on the internet, playing Gnome Town on FB, and chatting with a couple friends.

And dreaming about my vacation.

How long does it take you to fly to DW from where you are?

 

[TarzansKat]

3 hours nonstop. Not too bad. And I always fly nonstop.

There are some other things I do as well. I don't know how I find so much time on here.

 

[TarzansKat]

Ha! I'd normally be sewing right now, but I'm a little burnt out on it and need a break.

That is good for non stop. Not many non stops can you get over here.

I love sewing, but have no one to sew for.

 

[TarzansKat]

Not from where I am. You're definitely a layover away from me. I'm not fond of flying so changing planes to me is icky, but if I have to do it to get somewhere, I will, savvy?

 

[usnuzuloose]

I don't like changing planes either, but no choice.
