Thursday Chick-Bits

This week has been crazy. No, I mean it CRAZY!!!!!!!

Here are a few events in my life from the past week:

- my car died. It seems the new starter I just had put in was also bad.

-I accidentally laundered my brand new $330 digital camera which now no longer works.

- I went to a friend's mom's wake ....a day early. The funeral home was conspicuously empty.

- I attended a surprise b-day party for my Russian teacher and tried pickled herring and escargot for the first time. I felt bad that one of her daughter's is going thru a rough time; having discovered her husband of 10 years was having an affair with the next door neighbor. I wanted to talk to her about it, but she doesn't know that I know and is a very private person.

- The supervisor of the division I work with (who used to be me boss) decided she'd had enough of the BS and quit with 4 days notice. I am now involved as of an hour ago to help plan the surprise going away party. Good to have 16 hours notice I guess.

- I attended a food show; which is like going to the State Fair only indoors with better food and it's free.

-I spent a night watching the "Saw" movies (which were surprisingly good) with my Russian teacher's recently divorced son- who's 20 years my senior. I thought it was just a movie marathon. I'm pretty close with the family. Apparently he wanted it to be more. YIKES! I've been in turmoil over it all week........he's HOT and a gentleman but YIKES!!!

-One of my best friends is a new daddy this week; a month early. There's volumes to this story but not appropriate for this blog.

-One of my favorite business associates has quit his job and moved on. I will miss seeing him. But some of my friends work within that firm so I got to see one of my HOT friends, John, and his equally hot friend Brit this week. John's been my friend outside of work for several years and I hadn't seen him in over a year. He brought me lunch yesterday.

- I'm in the process of moving out of my apartment and in with my brother for the winter until I move to the West coast in March- at least that's still the tentative plan.

- I'm bowling in a tournement on Saturday.


So I'm a bit on emotional overload this week. It's been surprising. It's been fun. It's been perplexing, happy, sad, busy, anxious and CRAZY!!!!

That's where I'm at. It's been especially hard in my romantic life because though I'm glad to be single and only have to be responsible for me, I also wouldn't mind being tied down. Ever since my decision to move though, men have come out of the woodwork to say they're in love with me, or want to go out with me.

Where were these guys before??? And though they're all different and I have different things in common with each of them, none of them- I feel- is right for me; yet I find most of them to be great temptations as far as my flesh goes. It's like Satan knows my biggest weakness and it's being thoroughly exploited at present.

But I'm persevering. I've become turned off to any guys who say they are turned on by me.
I could definitely use some alone time with God and I hope after I move I'll be able to find that time.
It's a plus I'm moving to a neighborhood I can take walks in. Right now I live on one of the worst gang, drug, hooker, drive-by corners in St. Paul.


Guess that's about all I've got for now.

This week's bowling scores: 146, 170, 201.

Need to work on those first games.
