SU Continued…

January 26, 2011 Leave a Comment

Ok so last night we were at the SU game and it was so bad, that I was BLOGGING DURING THE GAME! Needless to say, they lost. Badly. I’m by no means a fair weather fan, but that was painful to watch. Those boys are better than that! I don’t know why they are playing the way they are, but they need to get their heads back into the game before they drop out of the polls altogether!

I have faith in the boys. They didn’t go 18-0 ecause they sucked! They are good. Damn good. They’re just in a slump, that they need to get out of ASAP!

So here I sit during a time out during and SU game, and anyone who knows me, knows I’m insane when it comes to SU! Just look at my Christmas presents :-) but this game is killing me. We’ve lost the last 2 in a row an we’re well on our way to our 3rd! I don’t know what happened to these guys! They were playing so well and 18-0! They seem to have hit a wall!

***TO BE CONTINUED***

The last 2 days have been pretty tough. I worked very hard getting stuff done at the beginning of the week and apparently, it was a little too hard. Yesterday I was on the couch forcing myself not to have one of my “things”. (I don’t know what to call them anymore, they aren’t seizures, so for now, they are just things). Today, I was couch bound with a horrible headache. I actually am wondering if I hit my head. I haven’t had a headache this bad since the last time I hit my head. But the one thing that I did get to do was think. I thought a lot about my friends. A lot about my family and a lot about Dennis and I.

First, I’m going to address Dennis and I. You all know how we ended up dating by now, and if not, I’m actually going to write it as a blog soon because I’m sick of having to tell the story over and over :-) I have been lucky enough to find someone that is not only very easy on the eyes, but also actually cares about me. He takes wonderful care of me. He always puts me first, even when I try and put him first he doesn’t allow it.

I’m so angry right this second! I just spent about an hour
writing a blog to save some people from the issues that I had with
a photographer……and the App crashed on me! I have to rewrite it
because I could never forgive myself if someone else ended up in
the same situation :-(

My own fault!

January 14, 2011 1 Comment

Ok…I’m sure you all remember that I did a boudoir shoot for Dennis for Christmas. Well, I got the pictures and immediately burst into tears. I hated them! I looked angry in most of the pictures because the photographer who shall remain nameless would stop taking pictures anytime I smiled! I don’t have the “sexy” look that I think she was waiting for, I am a happy, fun and outgoing person…I’m ALWAYS smiling! I feel that the pictures should have totally reflected that! The day that she was here, she kept talking about how she was so excited to be out of the studio and that our house was perfect to shoot in. She wanted me to book a boudoir party where I would have a few people come over, and they would get to do a shoot by themselves. I was totally into it! AND THEN….I saw the pictures. I will never recommend her to anyone. It’s awful and I feel terrible, but Dennis asked her if we could get the copyright to the photos so we could print them into whatever we want, she said no! Even stating that she drove ALL THE WAY to our house! (Yet that day she was super happy to.) And that I received a hugely discounted package, etc. etc. etc. She gave many reason why I shouldn’t receive all of them. Unfortunately, I’ve never had a photographer NOT release all the pics to me, so I didn’t even think to ask! It’s my own fault. She offered me a book of 15 photos (that aren’t even 4×6′s) and 3 digital images…so I guess there goes my idea of making a scrapbook for Dennis for VDAY! Thanks for ruining that present!
The worst part is, I spoke with an old friend today who had this same photographer for her wedding. HER WEDDING. A day she will NEVER get back, and she was terribly disappointed with the pictures! (She also will remain nameless) :-) Apparently they were all of people’s backs and there wasn’t even a single picture of her and her father walking down the aisle! After hearing that, I decided that it isn’t just me and perhaps this woman just went into the wrong profession! My recommendation…if you need a photographer…use Bill Herloski! He’s absolutely AMAZING!

Loyalty of a Dog

January 7, 2011 2 Comments

I grew up in the life of innocence. I was the one of my friends who’s parents are still together. I had 2 older sisters, and an older brother. They are all significantly older than I am and I can’t say anything but positive things about the way they all helped to develop my character into who I am. I’m spoiled, blame my parents for that, I whine a lot, blame my oldest sister for that…All I had to do was whine and she would do anything for me, I’m loyal to a fault and trust people to the point that even new friends can break my heart, that…that right there…you can blame the other sister (who would torture me to the point that I have scars left from her – Thank you Darcy!) and the trust…that you can blame my father and my brother for. I’m a strong believer that people are characters of their environment. There are only so many things that genetics would be blamed for. My family taught me that you always stand by people. When you are put in a position where you have to make that choice, I ALWAYS stand by people as long as possible. Hell my fiancé went on a DATE with another girl, and I still tried to work things out.

Normally, I pride myself on the fact that I can forgive easily. But there are times, when it’s just NOT possible. I really don’t think it’s much to ask someone that they not share your conversations with other people. When people talk to me about things in THEIR lives, especially things that have NOTHING to do with me, they are putting their trust in me, and that is something I won’t violate! I just don’t get why other people don’t have the same ethics.

I’m sure there are probably a few people thinking this was written solely about them, best rest assured, this isn’t about a single person. It’s about all the people I’ve come across in my life that don’t know what loyalty and trust are. I’ve been cheated on by a few different guys, and I made sure that the next guy after didn’t have to pay for his mistakes. I guess I still just will never understand how people can so easily be a “friend” one day and stab you in the back the next day!

I’m about to turn 30….and I’m not happy about it at all! But I refuse to go through another birthday wondering which friends will I be cutting out of my life this year. Who will betray me? Who will lie to me? I won’t do it again. As a gift to myself this year, I am giving myself the strength to not put up with it anymore. I have always forgiven people instantly, with an apology or not…not this time, and not anymore. The best part is, I’m not angry, I’m not stressed, I’m not even upset. I actually feel enlightened and more relaxed to rid myself of awful people and awful drama.

I have the people in my life I need. I have my close friends, amazing family and a seriously incredible boyfriend, everyone else can…and will be replaced if they can’t offer me the same things I offer them!

Underwear….

January 6, 2011 Leave a Comment

Ok…not the usual topic of one of my blogs, but I’m sitting here folding laundry and I got to thinking. Men buy underwear in packs. Occassionally they’ll buy a single pair.

Now I have always had an underwear compulsion…ask my mom…at one point in high school I had almost 100 pairs of underwear! The other day I was at Vickie’s Semi-Annual Sale and we were looking through the underwear, Dennis held up a pair and I said, nope I already have those.

I started thinking as I am folding Dennis’s…why is it that I feel that way? Why can’t I have 2 pairs of underwear that are the same?

This isn’t a blog with a giant meaning, or one where I’ll say, I’ll tell you why, I really am curious why women are held to much higher standards of underwear protocol than men? What if I only wanted to wear black underwear for the rest of my life?

OK, let’s be honest…that won’t ever happen, but I’m curious if I’m the only one that thinks about this…

New Year. New You?

January 2, 2011 Leave a Comment

So as I sit here on “Do Nothing Sunday”, I realized that I hadn’t written the New Year’s Blog yet :-) I really do enjoy blogging, I just don’t get a ton of time to do it, but I really do think it’s a good way for me to deal with my stress and the obnoxious people and the things I come across. Like when we went to Chesterfield the other day, I would have stewed on that for days if I didn’t get it out right away.

Yesterday we went to the SU game and Dennis got his New Year’s Blog done and that made me feel super lazy :-) Anyway, I’ve always had some sort of a New Year’s Resolution, but I truly don’t think I’ve ever followed through with many, if any of them. Except one…And I made it a few years ago, and didn’t follow through until 2010. So, no New Year’s Resolution for me. I would however like to recap the last year. Where Dennis focused on only the negative and how he was going to change it, I’m going to focus on both, how I can change the things that aren’t PERFECT, and how much I appreciate the things that are.

However. Now it’s time for the Bear’s game…so I guess you’ll have to wait until tomorrow :-)
