Well, we've already talked about the money stuff. I wish you wouldn't let yourself get hosed by this guy. I know you don't want to depend on him, but he needs to provide for his damn kids, and I'm sorry but that means keeping you alive and healthy so you can be there to be their mom. There's no shame in that. You gotta get over this self-sacrificing bullshit, girl. It's going to be the death of you. And how does that help your kids?

Amen Deb. I agree whole heartedly. It seems you really like your new place ,And just think about how much being in a new apartment and starting a new life is going to help you move on. Just stay focused on that and your children and you'll get through this fine. Focus on that for this new years! A whole new you!

I can't wait for this year to be over. I hope 2011 will be better. If I had a free wish I'd wish 2008 back. It's been a great year, except for the fact that Heath Ledger died on my birthday.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 30 Dec 10 :: 16:01

I'm with you Anne! A few cool things have happened since then. But nothing will ever top that year for me, I don't think.

Really? Well, not here. I am so tired of my life.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 31 Dec 10 :: 02:04

For me, yeah, there were a few nice things. Interviewing Amber in 2009 was such a high it took me months to come down from that one. Interviewing Dan Fogler this year was great. Kate's visit was wonderful. I've been lucky.

domesticelefant · 31 Dec 10 :: 13:20

Well, at least I got to go back to London in September and met a few other cool people in October. Thanks to RingCon October is still the best month of the year for me. LOL Guess that's not THAT bad at least ... but the rest of the year pretty much sucked.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 31 Dec 10 :: 19:58

Yeah, see? We have mostly sucky years, with a few bright spots. I think that's the way it works for most people.

New Year's Google doodle!

TheCentralScrutinizer · 31 Dec 10 :: 22:20

So excited! Casey just came to get Bodhi and she brought me an awesome Christmas/birthday gift! A USB turntable! Can't wait to start converting all my old vinyl! I've got a ton. First up, Tim Curry. Woohoo!

EOcean214 · 01 Jan 11 :: 03:49

Sounds like fun Deb! What a great gift!
Snuggling by the fire with my parents dogs watching new years. although I'm by myself I'm quite happy with 3 furry friends! Can't wait to have my own one day.
Hope everyone is having a fun safe new years!

I am sorry, Maria. I have had a lot of bad relationships. Most men are all the same. I have been told men in uniform (military men) are good men. I need one like that.
Well since Wednesday this week has been so lame and I am glad its over. I was dating (nothing serious), this guy thats 26. He claimed to want to see me and want to get into a serious relationship and then settle down. Out of nowhere on Wednesday he blocks me on facebook and won't answer my calls. I make another facebook account and message him telling him how shady and low he is for acting like a 12 year old and blocking me without explanation. You don't just throw people away like that without reason.

I am ready for 2011! To get over my ex's, guys that have led me on and ex friends especially ex high school friends!

Happy New Year 2011!!!

CappuGirl · 02 Jan 11 :: 19:55

Happy new year from me too!

Sorry I was gone a bit. Had some computer issues. This little thing has a little trouble keeping up with me. Gonna get a proper one within 6months, or at least a year and give this one to my kid.

Thanks for your input on my situation. I know I've got some issues.. Past two weeks have been hard on me. Worst luck ever on everything and the news from ex were enough to make my head go into the overthinking mode. I felt like I was pushed and pulled under, the sea of never ending depression. But I don't want to let myself go there anymore. This was supposed to be a new me, new start. My new year's resolution is to reinvent myself both physically and mentally. Gotta find them strenghts and learn to put myself first. Clutching to my optimism now. I don't want to feel that alone and lost like the past two weeks. Like nobody cared. Everyone has their own crap to dwell in. Of course they don't want mine on top of it. I hate to be a whiner anyway. Since writing is what makes me feel better, I'll just start a journal now and stop posting attention seeking things on FB etc to get just one supportive comment. All I need is me, being stronger.

Oh, pets-issue. When I moved here, I was contemplating that I'll either get a cat or a dog; which ever comes to access first. left it on destiny. I looked thru the local magazines for shelters etc. I was thinking I'd rather have a grown dog that'd be calmer and better company for me. If I couldn't find that, maybe then puppy. Or kitten. I really don't know enough about cats to know if they're good to adopt as adults. Well, I came across this one ad that a little black girl cat was looking for a new home. The ad and the phone call suggested that it was a kitten. Imagine my surprise when it was about 6 month old "kitten". something about the shape of it says "kitten" though it's nearly adult size. We had a rough settling in period. Took three days before she started eating properly and do other things than hiding under the sofa. It took a whole week for it to get used to me. Now, two weeks later it's finally comfortable with the kids too. Not residing under the sofa when they're here. It keeps taking my sweaters to nestle in. There she's lying in a corner right now. At night she's most active little devil. Or when the kids are at dad's. I named her Maya.

CappuGirl: so glad to hear things are going better and you are more optomistic. Holidays are tough on everyone even those that are surrounded by people are stressed or feel alone sometimes during these chaotic times. I think journaling is a great idea. I do that at least twice a week and it really helps me a lot. Yoga also really helps me a lot too. The place where I go, they talk you through the poses and only use positive language and metaphors and it helps renew my mind. Plus I feel physically amazing afterwards too. Ache for a few days though!

Glad you found a little kitty too to keep you company and that she gets along with your kids! It's always hard in the beginning. I remember when we got our border collie she didn't come out of the crate for two days because she was scared. we think she might have been abused as a pup. Now she is the friendliest border collie.

I can't believe that break is over. It wasn't the best one to be honest but I did learn to save my money and travel next year. After the first week I got really tired of just sitting around in the apartment and doing odd errands to keep myself busy. I'm excited to see the kiddos again.

Here's to a great 2011 for everyone!

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 03 Jan 11 :: 07:24

So my friends Kelley and Samual didnt have the chance to get married yet. They want a super small wedding with only their parents there. They have to wait until January 27.

My bestfriend Lysa has two lumps on her throat. Shes going January 4 to the doctor I really hope shes going to be ok.

Crossing my fingers for her. My mom got diagnosed with breast cancer in mid december, hopefully this is also going to be over soon.

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 04 Jan 11 :: 07:22

Sorry about that, Anne. Lysas mom had breast cancer and her dad had cancer.

On the bright side my bestfriend Kayla just found out her and her husband are pregnant!

CappuGirl · 05 Jan 11 :: 12:51

yay for the good news, frown for the bad. Good luck for all of them.

I had a busy day yesterday. Ran some errands and had a very JOA moment at the mall when it felt like all the stores were yelling at me. So I only got some books and a coffee and flew away. Got mysef a gym-pass starting next week. I've been wanting to try out that gym for a long time. Though it's getting so big now, I'm not sure I'll like it. I only took the 1-month tryout pass. gonna get a 3month-period next if it works out. Though, I've been wondering if should take up on one newer and smaller gym that also offers physio therapy. maybe that'd be better for me knee. and i HATE working out in big places with lot of people. Can you spell gymclasstrauma? Oh, and I also outed myself as a bi-sexual yesterday. Very big day turned out pretty good even though it started with a shitty anxiety attack because i had nightmares.

today i clean as long as there's light, so about 3 hours left. yikes. sun sets at about 4pm now. but the days are getting gradually longer now. The kids are coming to me tonight. <3 what fun things will they come up with now to make mama go crazy? they'll be here until monday. Ex better be back in town by 4pm monday or I'll have to change my gym-appointment. the instructor wanted to have a one-on-one on my first day. then i can come and go as i please

Warbee · 06 Jan 11 :: 19:54

Hahaha in the end it sounds like you had a HUGE day. I am glad things are working out though

If you have a bad knee then let them know straight away...things like that need to be looked after or else YIKES! My sister in law has had so many knee issues, used to be from playing basketball and she never looked after it and now her knees are terrible! I think I will need to join a gym when I eventually get back home. Traveling means you dont cook for yourself...so its ALWAYS too much fat and sugar and flavour, and then you want it right then and there and easy. *sigh* I have got some travel weight to lose when this is all over But I agree with you, smaller gyms are much nicer. That and I feel bad when they greet you by name...makes me go more often because they notice when I havent been. I am just happy to hear some good news from you. I am glad it all worked out with you coming out as bi-sexual. Thats AWESOME. Ok I am in a good and talkative mood, sorry.

P.S. If you ever get the chance to visit Vienna WOW do it! This city is soooooo pretty its ridiculous!

I've always wanted to go to Vienna once and I'm still hoping that it'll work out sometime. Well, maybe I can afford a little weekend trip if I find a job soon. Cross your fingers!

BiggestChrisMarquetteFan · 07 Jan 11 :: 04:11

I started school again today and it went so slow. My Science teacher is better than the other two Ive had in college. Theres no real work in either of my online classes. My English class is ok I have teh same teacher as before I liked. We have to read Beowulf by next week though. So the worst book Ive read. I cant even remember it its so boring.

CappuGirl · 07 Jan 11 :: 22:36

Wow. Vienna really must be awesome. Definately on my long list of travel dreams. Look at you filling all of yours, Kate! The travel food sounds yummy. I've been doing less cooking lately too. can't really say that it's because i don't like cooking just for one since I've had to make my own food separately for a year now. It's the damn dishes! :doh: I have to do them by hand now and I absolutely LOATHE that stuff. So I make a lot of stuff that comes from a freezer and can be heated in the oven. less dishes. laaaaaazeeeeeh. :rofl: I don't think I've gained any more weight past month that i've lived here now. wow. 1mth? Time flies!
I feel a lot better now than i did just a few days ago. I feel stronger and clearer. For couple of weeks there I was really starting to question my sanity with all that old supressed crap cluttering my mind and making my head spin with all these negative feelings from fear to poisoneus hate. But I guess that's break up. I'm so ready to move on now. Ex ain't answering any calls so I texted him that when he gets back monday, I'm gonna come over after the kids go to bed and we're gonna talk things thru since no way in hell are we going to go to the social services lady to set up the kids arrangement while things between are so poisoneus. I'm ready to be a grown up about it all again. Besized, I realized there were two reasons why I felt so bad about his new gf being there - and neither of them was that i was jealous of him. I was jealous of my kids getting a new mom-figure and i worried she'd be better than me. And I worried for that poor chick for putting herself into the mess. But I'm sure you're all done with my break up crap. sorry.

I really do worry about my knees. I had more of my weird bone-pain on my legs today. the long ones between knees and ankles. I'm not entirely sure that the doctor diagnosed my knees right in her hurry. or maybe she did and it is about my joints, and then there's some other thing with the bones. i don't know. i don't want to wonder about it anymore. I'll just be labelled a hypocondriac. that's the look i got from her after i started explaining my fourth long-time problem so i stopped there. though, is it my fault that the lines ther are so long, many problems have time to evolve while waiting for the damn appointment? health care has gone to crap around here past 10 years. But yep, I'll definately say about my knees (and legs) at the gym. I'll just have to take the eye rolling and stuff. can't be stupid about this stuff by getting too shy to talk about it.

Good luck with your school, girl!

EOcean214 · 08 Jan 11 :: 04:38

I've actually never read Beowulf! I'll have to add it to my list.
Glad things are going better cappu girl Definately get knees checked out. You might like pilates. its not very stressful on the knees.

First week back went great. kiddos did really well! suprised at how much we got done & how much they still remembered after break. Did get an apartment tooo! Soo excited! But now have to endure the pains of packing. I'll move presidents day weekend.

Hope everyone has a nice weekend.

By the way: my neighborhood's streets are named after colleges and I just realized there is a "marquette" street!

TheCentralScrutinizer · 08 Jan 11 :: 05:36

Wicked! I like to think of it as our guy's "chosen name".

Heh, as I type this there's a commercial for The Rite on TV.
