So You Want To Be First Do You??? Its Lasting!!

Queenie: I see 3 days today! Have a wonderful time with BF. Safe trip!

THANK YOU!!!
I gotta say I'm feeling better and more comfortable going through SFO. I guess I just know that route so well.

So I wasn't getting any notifications for the last few days... Not sure what happened :

Anyway, yes, I did get the mixer It's pretty and red and sitting on my bedroom floor right now, since I didn't actually get my tax return. My mom bought it and I'm going to pay her back when my return finally clears (should be by the end of the week). I haven't used it yet, since my dad doesn't know that I have it (I promised to give him a portion of my return, which I can't do right now, since it's not in my account). I plan to use it tomorrow morning, though

Or to take care of everything else I have to take care of with my tax return (new glasses or contacts, getting a new bus pass for the month, paying our internet bill for this month, buying a dress I found online that I want for a theme party I'm going to in May, and a few other things, including putting some into savings). I didn't tell him the correct amount because I knew he'd ask for all of it (and when I told him I was getting just over $500, that's exactly what happened).

So sorry you had to deal with it that way but I'm so happy for you getting the mixer

You deserve it

You deserve 2 wonderful weeks away from work. Enjoy!

Thanks so much...

And thanks to everyone if I've missed you

Pics aren't too bad PIO. Main thing is you enjoyed the concert. It's true that you will ALWAYS get morons with flash going off as they have no idea how to turn it off. Or don't realise you might have to turn it off EACH TIME you turn the camera back on.

That's probably also why I loved Love Never Dies so much. Perfect Row A Dress circle seats. Perfect fellow guests. Flawless performance.

Unfortunately fellow guests can absolutely destroy an event or show for me. Has happened at Disney and elsewhere. Wish I could block things out better but sadly those bad memories can last longer and stronger

Old? Me???







That'll be when I go see Burt Bacharach.


The crowd at the Wall was a complete mix of young and old. We were right in the middling.

I wonder if there will be a NON - HA section

Scooter parking instead of stroller parking...

Walking frame checking...as well as cardigan...

Honestly, as sad as it sounds, I'm used to it. Hiding things from my dad has been a part of my life since I was old enough to have something to hide.

And he's going to be home tomorrow, so I can't even take it downstairs to play with

Oh I get hiding things...my DBF's first visit to Oz (and our first meeting in person), staying for 10 days, was an elaborate ruse of me 'working'
My friends helped me with the plan...and all 3 of them are always playing this fun game of not telling the whole story...

But just this whole money thing where he'd just expect to take all of it...
THAT irks me...

Sucks you can't play with it

Home time now...

When I was dating my ex (not my most recent, but this guy I was seeing two years ago), I would stay at his place from time to time. Dad always thought I was at my best friend's house. When I have plans like I do this weekend, I have to lie about where I'm going and what I'm doing so that he won't get all puritanical on me (long story, pm me if you want to know). If I go shopping, I have to sneak it into the house so that he doesn't see it and then, if he comments, say something like "I've had this for ages", particularly if it's clothes.

He's a miser, plain and simple. It's just a fact of life in this house.

I'm hoping he'll go somewhere tomorrow so I can run to the store and get some eggs and come home and make cupcakes.

I'll make sure I report back. But Burt is playing at a completely different locale....much more up-market in the Arts Complex. So, it is HA...with elevators.

And Rod Laver Arena was HA as well.

Sometimes I think the reason I got married so young was because I just couldn't live with my parents anymore. After I moved out and could ignore them, my relationship with them got much better.

The problem with getting married at all is even finding a guy who'll so much as notice me, let alone want to marry me.

It'll happen when you least expect it to.

Have I ever told you how much I hate platitudes?

[PrincessInOz]

How's work?

 

[DisneyFirefly]

I'm just tired of hearing things like that. "It'll happen when it's meant to happen", "stop looking and it'll find you", "there's someone out there for everyone", "be patient, it'll happen", all that crap. It might sound good to you, but to someone who's lonely and tired of "putting myself out there" (another platitude I despise) only to get absolutely no response aside from sorry, not interested or "I don't do fat chicks", it's really, really frustrating.

Anyway. I'm shutting up now.

I'm sorry.

I hope you know that I didn't mean to be condescending or patronizing. I know it's hard being lonely and alone. Its a place I don't want to go back to if I can help it. I don't wish it on anyone.

 

[DisneyFirefly]

I know. But that doesn't make it any easier to swallow. It's hard enough finding someone period, but then you get into the specifics of what I'm looking for and it's next to impossible to find. So I honestly don't even know why I'm bothering anymore.

Work is fine. Tomorrow's the last day of training and then I get certified to do the survey.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Well....I hope that you get that well deserved circuit breaker with work. May it be everything you wish it to be.
