Lessons Learned Sometimes Slowly

I am a firm believer that everyone who comes into your life does so for a reason. Whether they are there for years or just a few precious moments.
Recently someone came into my life who at first I thought might make a major impact now I'm not so sure. Being with him is like going on a rollercoaster blindfolded.....you have the really high highs but then they are followed by the really low lows...you never see them coming and at some point you think I want off this ride. I have not really let myself fall a little for anyone since my last long term relationship over 3 years ago and if I did start to fall I self destructed. This person I believe came into my life to teach me that it's ok to fall a little again. For that I will always be gratefull eventhough I really don't know if he will only be in my life for a few precious moments I learned the reason for him being in my life at all and that is something.

Weekend review

The weekend has come and gone yet again ( I demand a recount) Had a rough day at work on Friday I saw myself in a light I didn't like and I was the banker that I hate. Have resolved to make the necessary changes and cut the negative out of my life.

Friday night went to the bar and while I was there received an unexpected invitiation to go elsewhere for the evening which I more than happily accepted. Stop the presses I think I am Karaoke'd out. Its the same every week and nothing new ever happens. So I ended up down at Lakeshore. My favorite place on lakeshore. It has the most amazing view of the skyline. You feel like you are a million miles away from the city but at the same time you feel like you can touch it. It was awesome!! Perfectly clear to see the skyline but if you looked of to the side nothing but fog. Had a wonderfull evening with wonderfull company.

Saturday was Welly's birthday went to the bar to wish him a happy birthday but left early because I had to get up early to drive my parents to catch a bus to the Casino. Was supposed to have someone over but unfortunately they were sick today. Made amazing coconut curry chicken for lunch and truly enjoyed not painting the house this weekend.

So tommorow is Monday and I am working overtime all week. Looking forward to the $$$$ not looking forward to the hours.

EVERYTHING HAS A GENDER

You may not know this but many nonliving things have a gender...

*Ziploc Bags are Male, because they hold everything in, but you can see right through them.

*Copiers are Female, because once turned off; it takes a while to warm them up again. It's an effective reproductive device if the right buttons are pushed, but can wreak havoc if the wrong buttons are pushed.

*A Tire is Male, because it goes bald and it's often over-inflated.

*A Hot Air Balloon is Male, because, to get it to go anywhere, you have to light a fire under it, and of course, there's the hot air part.

*Sponges are Female, because they're soft, squeezable and retain water.

*A Web Page is Female, because it's always getting hit on.

*A Subway is Male, because it uses the same old lines to pick people up.

*An Hourglass is Female, because over time, the weight shifts to the bottom.

*A Hammer is Male , because it hasn't changed much over the last 5,000 years, but it's handy to have around.

*A Remote Control is Female. Had you fooled! You thought it'd be male , didn't you? But consider this - it gives a man pleasure, he'd be lost without it, and while he doesn't always know the right buttons to push, he keeps trying!

Tonight I went to karaoke with Nina but we were both tired and left the bar early. On the way home I mentioned I needed milk and Nina said she needed cat food so off to the 24 hour Dominion we went. We did our shopping and left the store. As soon as we got outside Nina heard a cat meowing. This cat comes across the parking lot right up to us. Nina gave it some food which it more than happily ate. Another car pulled up and this lady got out and fell in love with the cat but her husband didn't want to take it. It was clear though that be tween the 3 of us there was no way we were leaving him there so Nina came to the rescue. Robin (the lady from the car) gave us her number and insisted we call if we are unable to find him a home. Nina already has Scout and Gem so Boo Radley seemed like a good temporary name. Way to go Nina!! He is so sweet rolling around on the floor so we could pet his belly. he has the softest fur ever and he is a baby we think 6-8 months old.
