I consider myself a good friend. I am upfront and honest and I would do absolutely anything for my friends.

I have a few friends that live out west. I was considering coming for a visit. These friends said that their homes are always open and I could come for a visit anytime.

Was thinking of taking a quick trip next weekend. Tried to get a hold of everyone and no one got back to me. The one gal is someone that I have known since I was 15 years old. We were became pen pals through teen magazine.

I can understand that it is last minute. But I just wish that they would be upfront with me and say that it is last minute and they don’t think it is going to be a good idea. I would rather have that then hear nothing from them. Hearing nothing from them is worse than no. Yes no may hurt my feelings. But not hearing anything hurts even more.

I am the type of person that would do anything for a friend and my home would always be open to any of my friends even if they called the day before. The only thing I would want is to make sure the place was clean. And that we were not traveling anywhere.

It makes me question. Did I do something to upset them? Or is it that I am just not as good of a friend in their eyes. I consider them good friends…. but maybe they don’t feel the same about me.

I hate to even think that. It sounds pesimistic. But life is too short. And I do not want to waste time on friendships with people that don’t feel the same about me as I do them.

Happy 40th Birthday Eve!

We love you!

Sad…

I have a couple of friends that were really close and it seems that they have grown apart.

I love them both dearly. I have so much in common with both these wonderful gals.

Sometimes in life we have friends and sometimes we have to let those friends go. Not everyone is meant to stay friends. It is good when two people can realize it and move on.

Thinking of that makes me realize that there are so many different people out there with different personalities. How many people out there in the world hang out with people who are fake friends? Or don’t like the friends that they are hanging out with, but stay around them because there are afraid of being alone?

I am lucky to have many different friends all over the country. And in each of my friends are very special to me.

I have friends who are family. Cousins. ANd I have other friends I have met over the years. Each friend I have a specific bond with and even if I don’t talk to them everyday… I always carry a place for them in my heart. And I am pretty sure they feel the same way about me.

So on a whole I am sad that my friends ended their friendship. But I am happy that they realized that it was not a healthy friendship for either one of them.

I am going to stay in touch with both of them. They are dear friends to me and I am lucky to have them in my life.

And if you are both reading this you know who you are and you know that I love you both!

This is the way i want to sleep! I took this last night while I was creating jewelry.

I swear I have bionic ears. They say if you are disabled in some way other senses are heightened. My eyesight is so bad…. that would make sense that i can hear base more. And I have a nose like a dog. I can smell anything! I can tell if Calvin has an accident in the house. Joe thinks i am crazy and then i find it!
The people downstairs were playing their music and I could hear the base. I asked Joe if he could here it, he couldn’t.

I am a light sleeper. Joe hits the pillow and is out like a light! I used to be able to sleep more when I had my heart problem. The Dr said that sleeping more was a symptom of my arteries breaking down. I used to be able to sleep 8 to 10 hours.

I also know that I haven’t been exercising as much. When I do it is easier to sleep.

I grew up with alot of land around so it was always silent. Never a problem sleeping. Joe grew up near the city and there were noises all around.

All i know is that even earplugs are not helping.

I am going to try some soothing tea and exercising more during the day and hopefully that will make me so exhausted I will hit the pillow and be out like a light like Joe.

Yes I am the super shopper!

Lately when I shop I wait for the sales to hit.  So a little over a week ago I caught a really good sale online.  I bought 2 cute t-shirts a pair of crop pants and a tank for $26 bucks!

Originally everything would have cost $129!  With tax and shipping it came to a little over $36.  Here is the best thing… the pants were only $4.48!  They were originally $44.  Now that is an UNBELIEVABLE savings!

Tomorrow is Teresas Birthday. For lunch we all brought in different things for salads. Melanie even made a really good cake.

Teresa brought in a tiara and as you can see she is practicing her
wave.

She is definitely a princess for a day!
