Simply being a woman (or a man) does not entitle a person to also being interesting.

Just because there is nothing wrong with someone doesn't mean they possess any redeeming qualities.

A person cannot be set apart by virtue of perfecting every trait that enables them to blend in.

I, like most people cannot manufacture feelings of interest in someone with the hope that something interesting about them will eventually reveal itself.


I think at the end of the day, people should take some interest in marketing their personal brand. Really finding a way to let people know who they are and what they are about, without coming across as a personals advertisement, that is something that interesting people do very well.

Its okay to stand out. It doesn't mean you are alone, it means that you are unique. Because at the end of the day, a person doesn't want to fall for just A man, or A woman, they want You to be special.

Hmmm possibly getting a cat. Stray kitty not even 2 years old crying at the door. Might be keeping him or her if no one claims it at the humane society. Happy birthday to me :)

I'm starting another job hunt for another part-time job. I'm just looking for 10-15 hours extra in the evenings to supplement my part time bank job. Last year when I first moved here, I turned in over 23 job applications (I counted) and only had one bite, the job that I have now (which I LOVE so I'm so thankful), but I'm hoping I'll get another bite. With the holidays coming up, it shouldn't be that hard to at least get seasonal work, plus I've had an extra year of work experience.

I know I need these extra hours, but the prospect of starting a new job again and all the stress and anxiety that comes with that already stresses me out. Maybe it's good timing for that, though, because my Wednesday night Bible study has been over being content and not being anxious or worrying.

I truly am thankful for the job I have now. I want to keep it. I like the people I work with, I know what I'm doing, and I rarely dread going in. Usually I only dread it if it's an early morning and I've stayed up late. Other than that, it's great for me.

A few days ago I posted about going to a Christian singles dance. The guy who was running it had flyers for Wednesday swing dance lessons for $5. Since I am currently not doing music rehearsals at my church (long story), I decided to give it a go after a long internal debate (I was tired after working, then teaching a piano lesson, and part of me really really really wanted to watch TV with my cats).


On the way over to the lesson, for some reason, I was thinking of this lady who was the first grade teacher for two of my kids, and a wonderful Christian woman. This would have been over ten years ago that she taught them. I ran into her once in a bookstore about four years ago, and noticed that she didn't have a ring on her finger, but didn't want to pry, and at the time, I was in no shape to even consider relationships. I hadn't seen or heard from her since.


I ran into her at the dance lesson (which is weird after thinking about her out of the blue, but I'm not going to over-spiritualize). We chit-chatted a bit. She was curious how I learned about the dance lesson. When I told her that the teacher passed out flyers at the singles dance, she mentioned that she should attend one of those, confirming that she was single at the same time. I liked that she didn't bash her ex in the process.


I have to admit that part of me is really content in being single right now...and part of me is going "hmmmm........"

There's a church in a town near here that I've heard does dance lessons and then has a dance. I think that would be so fun to do. I don't think it's just for singles though. So I wonder if I could go without a partner, and find someone to dance with there, or if people go in pairs. ALL of my friends are married so even if I got a group together to go, I'd be the odd man out (no pun intended). What's it like, Catherder? Do you know people there? Is it awkward? I'd love to learn to swing dance!

From the corner I sit in to lurk on the interwebs, I can constantly see my kitchen out of the corner of my eye.

And I want to destroy it.

Years ago, it was painted white. If I take bleach and magic erasers to it, it turns white again. But...it's so ugly. The stove is dark brown, straight out of the 70's. The fridge is newer, and sort of off-white. The counter tops are just this stick-on junk, white, with a design of red and blue stars (so light that you don't really notice, but me, I notice).

The cupboard doors don't shut right anymore, and there are no handles or knobs on any of the top ones.

The frustrating part about this is that I could so easily change most of that myself, with a couple of days and a hundred bucks.

*sigh* Maybe this fall.

I know nobody cares about my ugly kitchen, but that's what's on my mind today so far. Must. Improve. Stuff.

I now live in the same city I grew up in (Again)

But it has the worst fly and mosquito problem of anywhere I've ever lived, EVER.

I don't know what the deal is but, if the Snake River turns to blood, I'm moving away again.

Man I feel bad for you. I would sooo help you demo. I know that whenever my family moves, I'm gonna do some stuff to the kitchen and bathrooms. Especially if the bathroom has like wallpaper (I don't like wallpaper. It's terrible to get on and off. It's much easier to get the paints you want and STENCIL THAT WALL for Pete's sake!! We can paint over that! But you can't paint over wallpaper. You gotta do sooooo much to it. Plus, painting gives you a sort of satisfaction like, "Yeah, I did that! I designed it."

In some ways that's why I can't wait to move. I can paint and design and do stuff. I like doing stuff like that.

In typical Arwen fashion, I made a few decisions simply while high on emotions. Never think about things realistically. I reaaaaally don't want to go to the concert tonight. I rather stay at home and play with my kitty. Or rest. And just overall be introverted. But I can't back out of it. Not even a 'I'm feeling sick' will do. I hate this.

I know how you feel Arwen! This happens to me sometimes. However, once I'm out there doing whatever it is, I usually end up having a great time. I think it's the anticipation (or lack) that gets to me. Too much thinking! I hope you have a wonderful time tonight. :)

That's right, Cris!! Blame the inanimate object! It's totally its fault. I should know. Stupid cups of water fall over all the time...dern things.


(Yeah...those cups are extremely clumsy. Or is it that I'M extremely clumsy? ...Nah, it's gotta be the cups.)



Yup...I'm that sarcastic towards myself.

I dunno how inanimate they really are, I've been randomly attacked by stuff in cupboards and from the fridge... I'd say they were out to take over the world 0.0

a]Go to Home Depot (I know I complain about home depot) or Lowes (My friend told me they sell it there to, thank goodness) buy some TSP Phosphate, follow the directions on the back for cleaning walls. It's what painters use to wash walls before they paint, it works great. You can also put a teaspoon in your dishwasher and a quarter cup in your wash. [/FONT]

The Government banned the use of phosphates in dish and laundry soap, but you can still add it yourself. It works great in laundry. You will see the difference. I probably will have a bunch of Green Peace people respond to me, but many people use it in their dishwasher and laundry. We just hide out in bunkers and wash our clothes and dishes, ha ha..
