men stupid stupid men....

o.k. i just don't get it, how can they be so obliviously stupidly clueless. oh, and not to mention cheap let's not forget the cheapness.

I met some "boys" through the internet i went out with one of them last weekend. He seemed really nice, we talked on the phone for about an hour, it sounded like he was interested. So we make a date to go to the Gardner museum ( he picked it ). We met at the entrance by the front desk, he was kind of cute in a nerdy way ( that is one of my types ) we shake hands walk up to the counter to pay our admission ( it cost twelve dollars for one adult that's a pretty good bargain ) I quickly found out that i had to pay for myself!!!!! cheapo couldn't cough up 12$ ? this isn't the first time something like this has happened to me. so, we go through the museum had nice conversations about the art work, that is really all we talked about. Well it gets better. we walk through the gift shop towards the exit and stop for a moment to look at another painting. I ask if he knows where the bathrooms are? he does, i start to head to the bathroom and he says "well we are all set here so i will be going now" and shakes my hand again!!!! cheapo couldn't even walk me to the door? hello couldn't walk with me out of the entrance? forget about he's not that into me I'm not that into him!

I am totally convinced that all of the good men are either taken or gay.
This whole dating thing is very tiring, dating is supposed to be fun isn't it? I just want to go out with someone nice, I'm cute it shouldn't be that hard to find someone nice.

baby stuff finished !

As i may have mentioned before my best friend had a baby girl about a week or two ago. Since one of the grandmothers knits and the other crochets i decide to sew a few things for the baby. I had planned on finishing before she was born but life tends to get in the way so i just finished this past weekend. here are some pics I made two bibs ( i decide to do this without a pattern i guess i like to do things the hard way) a burp cloth ( you can never have too many of those) and a turtle blanket ( my friend sue loves loves loves turtles ! )

now all i have to do is mail them that should take me more than a week or two to get around to that.

things i am happy about....

I decided to make a list of things i am happy about ( this usually puts me in a good mood). let's see how long it gets, well even if i end up with two or three things that is still good.

1. I have a three day weekend coming up that is always a reason to dance
2. it is Friday
3.i am almost done with my friends hiking socks, they have been a pain to make
4.it was warm out three days in a row
5. almost all of the snow has melted
6.i will be baking cookies tomorrow
7. i got home tonight and dinner was waiting on the table for me and my family to eat
8. and last but certainly not least my best friend had a baby girl last week!!! i get to be an auntie whoo hoo!!!!

hmmm 8 things that is pretty darn good!
i feel better all ready :)

snow snow everywhere

hi y'all,

Well we seem to have plenty of snow a little too much if you ask me. I just realized this year that i am the worst shoveler of snow ever!!! I don't know how this happened but i just never seem to know where to put the snow once it is on my shovel. I look at other peoples walk ways and cars they have nice neat paths mine is always a hot mess. My 75 year old mother shovels better than i do.

Well i seem to have made to my computer while in a good mood. I noticed the nicest thing while looking out of the trolley window on my ride home the other day. Have you ever noticed that a couple of days after snow has fallen it always sparkles on the surface ? well it does and it is one of the prettiest things i think i have seen in a while. I also seem to be having flash back memories from when i was a kid. I remember always looking out at my yard and thinking that the snow looked like frosting on a cake and that the trees and picnic table were decorations made of candy. I think i may of had a sugar addiction! I have always had a vivid imagination.

hmmmm....

I haven't been on here much and there is a reason for that. My mom always says " if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all" I don't want to be a downer or nasty . i have had some nice things to say at different times but by the time i get to my computer all those happy things poof gone. hopefully this will past because i have done some fun things that i want to write about. i just want to write them while in a good mood, so i can do them justice.

Birthday

My birthday was yesterday I turned 36. At my job we celebrated my birthday on Friday I got two very nice cards a really yummy cupcake from the bakery down the street, and a flower. It is a custom for our boss to give us a flower on our birthday. mine is very pretty.

My mom cooked a special dinner for me on Friday we had her chicken cutlets made from scratch, Delmonico potato's ( very cheesy ) and green beans with almonds and of course a lemon cake MMMMMMM. My brother gave me a 30 dollar gift card to old navy, my mom gave me a turtle necklace, fuzzy gloves, hello kitty knee socks, and some nice lip balm.

Saturday, the day of my actual birthday, I actually ran a lot of errands blah, but that's o.k because i went to a party that night. Now it wasn't an actual birthday party it was a post Christmas party ( it was originally planned on a day that had a storm ) I got to have disaster cake and a friend ( who couldn't be there) sent along a pretty candle that we used when i was sang too. Oh, and there was a group of my friends moms friends there and they kept telling me how young i looked and what nice skin i had so that was nice. I had some wine whoo hoo and OMG there was so much yummmy yummy food there!

so even though i have not been in the best of moods lately ( and my family bickered all through my special dinner) I did all in all have a nice birthday :)

the new year

New years eve was really nice this year. I hung out with a couple of friends, watched movies that had to do with new years, filled my face with Chinese food MMMMMMMMM. We slept over, it's more fun that way and it just isn't worth going home at 1 or 2 in the morning.

I know some people get very excited about the new year and what it will bring. I think i was one of those people at one time and i want to be one of them again, I just seem to be having a hard time feeling positive about the beginning of a new year. Maybe it's the catholic in me you know waiting for doom to arrive. Of the last two years did not have such a great start. I try to be positive and for the most part i am able to find joy in the smallest most simple things it just gets hard sometimes.
