Shaping Up Nicely

Everyone is having a "blegh" kind of day.  And I can’t help but say so myself, I’m pretty "blegh" too.

I think a part of that for me was spending the evening with Shisty.  It just bothers me deep down that the girl has to find herself on the singles market all over again when she’d been set up to believe that marriage, picket fences, children and pets were in her near future. I have to ask, "why are people so shitty?"

I guess they’re not shitty, they’re just simply looking out for their own well-being.  Some of us don’t do that often enough.  Some of us try, and fall short always succumbing to what momentarily feels right.  I just hope she’s strong enough to stay away, because according to her account of things, he is completely set on not seeing her as "the one." He’s made up his mind, and has little remorse over it all. I’m still in a sorta state of shock!

I swear I truly belive my bed is positioned somewhere in the universe where a core solar force acts as a magnet and keeps me perfectly positioned making it virtually impossible to will my body to get up at the time it needs to! What the hell!?!  I’m almost tempted to start sleeping on my couch just to ensure I wake up in time. Luckily for me, my mind functions properly during the 30-40 minutes that I’m trying to be convinced of how much better it would be to have an hour to prepare for work as opposed to 20 minutes, so I’m able to envision the easiest attire for the day.  It’s been dresses and skirts all week; Items that can go on in one shot, has been my method.  As for my hair, that hasn’t been washed in probably a week! I NEVER do that.  So yes, say it with me…"Gross". So yes, I’m thinking of a room change – shifting the furniture to see what happens.  Oh, but man do I love my oh-so-comfy bed.  Frankly, so does everyone else who plops their asses on it.  I finally made the right choice when I bought that mattress.  Lord knows I don’t make too many right choices.

I adore my friends.  I simply love how comforted I am by their words of affection.  It’s so wonderful to feel wanted and missed.  It’s even more wonderful to be told how much fun you are to be around, or how much joy you bring to someones life; or sometimes even being told the impact you have on them is just as rewarding.  This is my ode to them all because without them, this life would be so very boring.  Who would I get to talk to throughout the days on instant messanger, and who would grab a mic to sing with me at karaoke?  Who would text me at the most obscure hours in the morning or night to say something silly or affectionate?  How would I be tossed with the decision to go to a movie, or visit someone, or have coffee if it weren’t for them all inviting me to one place or another?  It would be a mighty lackluster experience.  Without them, I wouldn’t have the ability to keep my mind off of sad thoughts and distant memories. I could not be more grateful for the eccentricity found when running down my list of friends.  And so I’ll take the fights, the angry moments, the times when they might not pick up their phone or are doting over their own significant others, because if I one day decided to make a list of all the good and bad, the former would outweight the latter by pages and pages…

So the weekend is before me.  How exciting is that?!?!?! I’m ready to relax the time away.  I have no money, but I have in mind so many things that are free to do and who to do them with. 

I’ll be 26 in less than a month.  I’ll make a year at my job on Monday.  I’m not so sure I’m pleased by either of those two statements. God…26.  I am planning to get my group of friends together to spend the weekend at MellowYellow’s place in the poconos and go white water rafting! I took off the day before and the day of my birthday, so another mini vacation is approaching.

Family reunion is on the 20th of July.  This is going to be a summer to remember, and I know this because it’s already shaping quite nicely.

Much Love To All My Readers,
The Almost 26 Rose.
