oh well!

I have been trying to put myself "out there", so to speak, in terms of trying to meet guys who might like to go out on a date with me.  Admittedly, I was behind the eight ball from the start because my kind of "out there" consists of making a profile on a dating site and browsing through Craigslist ads.  I go to work, I come home--that's what I do.  I'm not a bar fly and don't believe I can meet someone special when they're wearing beer goggles.  I don't belong to any groups, nor do I particularly want to right now.  Like I said, my chances were slim from the start because of my habits.

My point is this:  I'm evidently not ready for my special someone to be in my life.  I have to deal with some self-esteem issues before I can open my heart to an intimate relationship.  That being said, I deleted my dating profile and am going to focus more on me.  I'll still keep loving thoughts in my heart and on my mind, but I'm not going to pursue it as I have been.  He will find me in good time--when I least expect it!

going back to (I'd like to say Cali, but...) work

I've just wrapped up three weeks off from work.  The best perk from my job is that I only had to use six personal days!

What did I learn on my mini-sabbatical?  I learned that I'm very lazy and non-motivated!  Yeah, yeah...I was on vacation.  I still would have liked to accomplish a bit more than I did.

Honorable mentions include:

  • a root canal
  • replacing the broken crown as a result of said root canal
  • an aptitude test for the City and County
  • a Sugarland concert
  • whipping through the book, "The Help," and going to see the movie
  • finding a great book to help me hone my writing so it's salable
  • reading...a lot!
  • cooking very little
  • perfecting the art of 'creative finance'
  • not leaving my apartment for days at a time, not even to check the mail


That's enough to get my point across.  Three weeks and what do I have to show for it?  A big, fat zero!!!  Well, maybe a couple of IQ points from all the reading...

Here we go, back to the grind.  I hope tonight doesn't kick my ass!!!
