Drawing the Line

Where do you draw the line between new boyfriends and ex boyfriends? With new boyfriends, you are normally so in love you could care less about your ex. What happens when your ex isn’t a bad person but you just didn’t work? And you own a dog together, which he gave you in the break up. So you, your dog and your shit leave and move on to bigger and better things. And a new boyfriend enters. The ex reemerges asking about the dog and wanting to see her once in a while. Dilemma. If you were single, this wouldn’t matter as much. No one’s feelings would be at stake but your own. But there is a new boyfriend. And you don’t want to hurt him. Where do you draw the line? A strong no and move on with your life?

Where is my life manual on how to deal with these shitty situations?

unhealthy grief

Greif is an extremely tough thing to deal with and everyone deals with grief in different ways. My stepfather passed away on Wednesday night. All I can think about is my poor mom. Her grief overshadows any grief I am feeling. I can't even think about myself. My sister is the opposite. Completely. All she can think about is herself. And she totally went off on my mother today and said some really nasty things. My aunt keeps saying everyone deals with grief differently. I agree, but think you should never take your grief out on others, especially someone who just lost their husband. Angry. All I have is anger right now. No room for grief.

Truckin Along

Blogger hates me and deleted my post from yesterday too.  I decided to write my posts in email and copy and paste them so this never happens again. So there, Blogger, I outsmarted you!

Things are going great.  Someone yesterday was discussing how negative people are lately and how she is sick of everyone complaining and it made me think.  I complain a ton when I actually have life pretty good.  So that is my resolution for the week....No Complaining.

I have been working out a ton and changing for the better.  I have slowed down, been reading a lot more, relaxing a lot more, and I love it!!  I am a changed girl.  

On Superbowl Sunday, one of the guys I hang out with looked great and lost tons of weight.  We were talking about what he did and he told me about P90X.  As insane as I am sometimes, I decided I would do it after a few people said I couldn't.  So that will be a major part of my posts for the next 90 days starting next Monday.  It is a boot camp work out that gets you in awesome shape in just 90 days.  I can't wait.  I need something to knock me down and really push me to the next level.  And you will all be here to see it happen.

I have been quite weird lately being that I do not want to spend a ton of time with people.  I normally am a "let's get together" group invite type of person.  I love being around people.  Not lately.  I would rather sit in bed with Whitey and Lola and relax.   I have no idea what has changed within me.  It is funny.  I honestly would have rather stayed in and relaxed the day of the Superbowl but had to go to a big party with tons of friends.  Maybe I am growing up?  Settling down?  Whatever it is, it is weird.  My books and puppy have never been so happy.

Go Ducks!

I can’t blog long since I was swamped at work and am rushing out the door to get to my anniversary surprise night for Whitey.  I have been planning this night for a while and it is almost four weeks after our real anniversary!!  We are headed to a fun dinner and a Ducks game.  I am STOKED.

I totally hit my health goals last night.  I worked out at the gym for an hour, lifting weights for half and cardio for half.  Then I got home and Whitey dragged me on a run around the island for two miles.  I was exhausted but feel a lot better about not being able to work out tonight.  Till tomorrow…..

Chugging Along

I am back.  I need a small break and actually tried to blog yesterday except blogger freaked out and deleted my post.  Argh!  My best friend is doing alright and thank you for your kind words.  It hit at home and made me think and appreciate life more, especially my parents.

Things are going really well and I did really well last week on my resolution (I extended it a week for the book reading so I could actually finish).  I had the most relaxing weekend and just watched movies and read a ton.  It was great!!  Things are finally falling into place.  Whitey and I saw Revolutionary Road on Friday night.  The movie caught me totally off guard and actually made me really depressed.  I do not recommend this movie for anyone that has hope for being in a happy marriage with children.  According to this movie, it did not look possible.  Such a dark, sad movie.  Saturday was spent with Lola on the beach with two lab puppies from the island.  She is the cutest and LOVES the beach.  She is normally completely covered in mud by the time we bring her home.

My resolution for this week---Eat two fruits everyday.  I had strawberries and an apple yesterday.  Today, I already had another apple and I am thinking about going to Trader Joes to grab some blueberries.  I love blueberries. I am also going to try to keep reading more since last week was so relaxing.  Anyone have any good books they suggest?

My sister has finally made a breakthrough.  I know it will not be smooth sailing forever but she is trying.  As some of you may know from previous posts, my sister and I are extremely close, although she is extremely hard to get along with.  She is selfish, always late and wrapped up with Planet Michelle, often forgetting about the other people that are here.  She recently broke up with a toxic boyfriend she was dating and has been really pleasant lately.  She is kind, helps Whitey and I out and actually listens.  She has turned over a new leaf.  I am trying to be kinder to everyone I come in contact with, her included.  I think it is working.
