Good news. My baby sister (who is, by the way, 28 years old) and her family are coming up to visit the week of March 17-25. Her kids are on Spring Break the same week Jackie is.
I am so excited. I really start missing Renee when I haven�t seen her in some months. There�s nothing like being around my family to bring out the giggles. We laugh a lot. We�re idiots.
This is good. I really need some good news lately. I did not get that job I interviewed for on Monday. I really thought I had it in the bag. Turns out the other person had some skills and knowledge to bring to the job that I didn�t possess.
So, with my job presently, I am at a crossroads. What to do? My present boss told me that I am going to be taking a more technical direction and that I would be getting some training. Someone else replaced the person I was supposed to be replacing. Not me.
I will be doing training on computers, viruses and such. I�m not such a technical person. I learn by repetition.
But, the job pays well, so I will suck it up and do my very best. It deserves my best. When I think about the economy, the jobs that are out there that suck, then, I think I�m pretty darn blessed.
All the stress of the past few months caused me to hatch about 13 zits. I usually don�t get but one or two every couple of months. Lately, I�ve had 3-4 a week.
I also skipped a period. That hardly ever happens to me. I guess the situation was worse than I realized.
Aunt Flo made her grand entrance this morning after being absent since late December. Oh, how I�ve missed her. Yeah right.
I watched Survivor last night. Love that show!! Long live the Oolong and Koror tribes. Too bad Jolanda got voted off right away. I would�ve thought she was a strong contender for final 4. Nothing like a strong woman to freak out everyone.
What is up with Janu? Is it me or does she look like the Tasmanian devil? That hair! She also sort of reminds me of Amazon Barbie or a Xena cam padre. Lots and lots of hair. Enough to give your tribe mates hairballs.
How would you take care of that while living outside in the open? How would you brush all that?
And Coby? Did he or did he not betray his strange little tattooed bartender friend from New Orleans? He had a chance to pick her and he did not. Luckily, someone picked her over strange singing teacher or she would�ve gone home. I sort of hope she wins now.
I watched some of �Point Pleasant� last night. It was okay. I may watch it again. The blonde girl is scary.
I just read a review on �Constantine� that was not so flattering. However, I love this sort of movie and will probably go see it. The whole good versus evil thing? Love it.
I read that the beginning of the movie starts of with a bang and then stutters throughout. Who cares? It�s Keanu Reeves. He could do a black and white silent mime movie and I�d probably watch it.
If you like beautiful clothes, bedding and shoes at a decent price, visit softsurroundingsoutlet.com. My favorite item is their Quintessential Cotton Blanket that is usually $57.00 marked down to $29.00. I used to work for the company�and the products are always well made. I have a sweater blanket from Soft Surroundings and it is SO warm! The clothing sizes go very small up to 24-26 in some items (I think). Now if you go on Soft Surroundings.com you will be aghast at how much a sheet set cost. But going to the outlet will save you a lot of money.

The neighbor �I made friends with and it went terribly wrong� and I have called a truce. We haven�t made up. That�s not going to happen. But we both realize that bickering is not going to fix anything. So, I�m going to cease talking about her and think that she might do the same for me.
I�m still avoiding her though. It�s much too painful to be around her right now.
This is not like when I had fights with Lisa. There is a finality to this that wasn�t there with Lisa.
I think about the relationships that were impacted by my relationship with the neighbor. The biggest casualty was the relationship with Lisa. I sacrificed Lisa to be around the neighbor. How stupid of me.
I don�t know if things with Lisa and me will ever be the same. But I love her anyway.
I talked to my Aunt Abby on the phone about 3 times since Saturday. She�s been really sick with the flu. On Wednesday I talked to her and she broke down in tears. Some thug sideswiped her car. This is really sad. Why won�t they leave her alone?
Her husband is gone, she�s living alone. She�s taking care of her mom. She�s stressed. Her only transportation is that van.
Oh, and she struggles with depression too.
I�m going to my Grandma�s on Saturday because I told her I would. Next weekend I cannot go, so if a family member felt like going to see Grandma on Saturday February 26 or Sunday February 27th, that would be nice. I need a break. A mental health break.
Other than that, this weekend, I don�t have a lot to do except clean house. I think this is perfect for spring-cleaning, since I�m off on Monday too.
I am so broke. I have $40.00 until the 25th of this month, and I�ve not done grocery shopping yet. I gotta go buy Jackie her turkey dinners. She loves those and would eat them every day if I let her.
It will all work out.
TheDevlyn (that handsome devil) told me people are googling me like mad since I locked my diary. It makes me wonder who was reading it that I didn�t know about. I think Rodney�s family would be one. Maybe some other people that stumbled onto it while searching for something else.
Oh, by the way, I do not check the yahoo email account, so if you�ve emailed me and I didn�t answer, that�s why.
