The on-going life and times of yours truly

I figured it was time for a post as its been a few days. I just haven't had alot of time lately to just... sit and relax. Life is still crazy and i'm attempting to adjust to it.

Lets see, the work outta town was a nice change of pace. I was soooo tired when i got there, i just layed in bed for a few mins, wanting nothing more then to just go to sleep. But J called me and told me she was on her way to pick me up for Bingo, haha nightlife in a small town. Well the bingo was actually in another town a few mins away that was even smaller. It was nice though, we had a chance to catch up and talk. I ended up winning a few bucks as well as got to know another girl and her hubby that works at the store. I got to make fun of the small town life with them, the old style bingo they play, just a simple night of fun. Got back to my room and a few hours later finally got some sleep!

Tues was a good day but just long. That's the one thing i hated about going outta town 4 days a week, the days were always at least 10 hrs if not longer. The rest of the work week was ok, but overall i think i worked at least 16 hrs OT, which being salaried i don't get paid extra for so i'm gonna be taking a long weekend me thinks! Or 2.

The life part of the week was pretty boring as i didn't have that much time to myself or others. My dad of all the people in my life, even "talked" to me. Which in itself was weird as i'm a girl and the baby and he just never talks, ever, to his girls about anything.   Didn't say much really but asked me about Matt. Kind of shocked when i said it was over, even though I'm pretty sure he knew about it from my Mom. Just strange, when you think you know someone they surprise you with something. I don't mean to sound unkind about him, but we've never been close and the last time i think he talked to me was when he found out i was pregnant so maybe 17 years ago?

Tonight was different. I took the kid and a friend out for supper. Steve, well he's very old school. Doesn't believe a woman should pay for anything, ever. Which is nice in itself i guess if you were to date him, its not me to have him pay for everything. I'm too independant. I always feel like i owe people if they pay for things. Its hard for me to accept anything from anyone, no matter what it might be. When he saw how much the bill came to, he was shocked! Pulled out his wallet and got mad when i said no. So i let him leave the tip. My daughter thinks he's a blast when he's drinking, which he can be, but i prefer the non-drunk version of him. She got to see that side of him tonight, I think she's come to see what i see in him. He's the dickhead from Christmas. I love him, but he can be such an ass sometimes. When i told her he was coming for supper she was a bit surprised, as was i that i even invited him, but thats me, i can be soooo mad at you, but i forgive just as easily, its the forgetting part i have the hard time with. But it was a nice meal, we talked alot, even Taryn did which was good as normally she's quiet around people she doesn't know well. Went back to his place and had a drink, then called it a night as she has an exam in the am hours tomorrow.

Sunday was the one day off I had this week. I'm thinking i'll be cutting my days a bit shorter this week before i start getting burned out. No more extra shifts this week at the other store. I need to just relax and stop pushing myself so hard. This will be a week of pampering the inner me, and the outer as well to a point.

Vacation for this summer is planned to a point. Just a matter of deciding when it'll be happening. Roadtrip! Just not near as far as the last. It should be fun. I'm looking forward to it for a few reasons, mostly because i'll be able to visit 2 good friends during it. The length of it depends on a few things. The biggest is i'm debating buying a new car/suv/truck this year. I can afford it now, and i've never owned a "new" car. Mind you, the current one is the first i've ever had in my name. But i'm debating if this year or next is best for me. I put it off once already, as my life plan was a bit different to what its become, but as i stated before, i have to start living for ME, and this is what "I" want!   I might indulge in one other vacation this spring/summer as i have 3 weeks vac coming to me, but that one is as yet undecided. I do't know if i want it enough to do it, or if it would be a wise decision to make/do. But i have a few months to think about it, so we shall see!

Time to finish the laundry and bath, then its bedtime methinks.. I have one more post in mind i wanna do, i need to do, but it'll just have to wait. Its one thats just for me, for now, a work in progress one could say . Maybe tomorrow, i should have time, i hope i have time. Farewell for now
