So this is Christmas, a time of year that we gather with family and friends and make nice.....and do the "over the river and through the woods" thing....
Personally, I am happy to have made it through another year; yet, I feel the need to reflect on this year. In January, I don't remember my general demeanor but I do remember that I was not looking for a relationship. Then, February came and I reconnected with a lost love and in a little over two months he was lost forever...never to return because if he does, I will have to kick him in the balls. (with my words not literally).
May was uneventful but then I met another sh!thead in June who promised the world.....ya know I may as well change my name to Jack and try to grow a beanstalk with the "magic" beans this guy was peddling. Then in one fell swoop, he was gone.
I started a job in mid-July....and reconnected with the magic bean peddler only to be told that I was "bothering" him. Dumbass, little did he know that I had absolutely no respect for him. He was in a stagnant state -working a minimum wage job and not trying to better himself. When he told me that he insisted from the beginning that he did not want a relationship, I came back in true Crankyponts style - hey dumbass, you are not anything to write home about - get up off your ass and get a real job or go back to school....his parents had been hounding him while financially supporting him to go back to school....hmmmm all it took was Eunice telling him he was a troll to get him to enroll.
Wow, that rhymed. Let's see from August to October seems pretty much a blur. I was working a part-time job; enjoying time spent with lots of friend both online and in offline life. That is until the first Sunday in October when I was hit by a bombshell that came in the form of my daughter. She made accusations that drove me over the edge and in to the hospital.
This was a humbling year. I was laid off in February. The best part of the year has been that my children are growing in leaps and bounds, I am still in school and working toward my bachelor but I have completed the core courses....YAY!
2010 just may be my year for developing some relationship that actually will mean something. Right now, I am in like with someone but I was told today by a friend that he complained that I texted him too much. Well, my ego is a little bruised and my fiery RED temper took over BUT I refuse to whimper and beg like a little puppy. This man will see that I do not play games - well life is a game - but I suppose I could say that I understand because he has a LOT on his PLATE... and I understand where relentless texts could be annoying. Though, I know that I am not relentless but I could see where if the person were busy and the sound of the text going off would be annoying.
This man likes me, too and if that is his only complaint then so beit... I will not ever text him again and wait and see what transpires from my lack of communication. Guys are warrior hunters and women are gatherers. I am initiating the no-contact clause.
This almost always works. I will not contact him and when I feel the need, I will write a blog instead! I will say that I want a relationship but not with just anyone. I want the love of my life.....too bad he has come and gone in my life....eh - maybe he will be back....
Really, I am fine being alone for the rest of my life but would most certainly welcome a man in to my life.
Okay - so with 2009 coming to a close, I reflect and say - Thank God it's over! Thank God I'm alive and Thank God for all of the adversity because these were valuable lessons that I needed to learn.
Thanks to all of my redhedd friends who always keep me occupied. Thank you for your continued support and most especially, I would like to thank the Academy...lol
Be well, Be safe, and most of all please take care of you and yours during this holiday season! :)
