If you want to settle down and plant roses at my feet, go ahead

Mild Concussion.  Major pain in my ass is more like it.  The pain isn't horrifying or deadly, just really annoying.  It's sharp and all over my skull. My neck aches, my body feels like I was hit by a Mac Truck.  I hate this!!

  I just want to sleep without aching so badly.  I hope I can get through my 3 hours at the office, if not I think I may go crazy.  :( I also hope that by Friday I can walk around for a long period of time without aching too badly.  Looks like I won't be wearing my dress, I'm going to need to wear my Reeboks, for comfort. :( I was really wanting to look cute!! I'm all sad n crap  now.  I'm also still kind of foggy. It's not fun. Anyway, I better jet.

EDIT:  Ended things with the boyfriend the next day.  He was such an angry person and I couldn't handle that.  I had NO idea about that trait until we went to Art Fest.  Not cool... I can't handle negativity like that.  Not necessary.

Correction does much, but encouragement does more.

"Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you. Love me and I may be forced to love you."

“When he kisses you he isn't doing anything else. You're his whole universe..and the moment is eternal because he doesn't have any plans and isn't going anywhere. Just kissing you...it's overwhelming.”

“The decision to kiss for the first time is the most crucial in any love story. It changes the relationship of two people much more strongly than even the final surrender; because this kiss already has within it that surrender.”

“Dating should be less about matching outward circumstances than meeting your inner necessity.”

“In your relationships with others, remember the basic and critically important rule: If you want to be loved, be lovable”

“The deep joy we take in the company of people with whom we have just recently fallen in love is undisguisable.”

“Take a second out to think about this: in your life you search and search for the right person for you. Every time you break up with someone you get one step closer to that person. You should look at moving on as getting closer to meeting the one.”

“There are two sorts of affection - the love of a woman you respect, and the love of the woman you love”

“If a man be gracious and courteous to strangers, it shows he is a citizen of the world, and that his heart is no island cut off from other lands, but a continent that joins to them.”

It's just that kind of day

I'm always looking forward to the evening.  Evening means no more sun, less heat, cooler car, beautiful stars and an amazing moon to gaze upon.  Daytime is the epitome of terrible, for me at least.  I burn so easily, (Thank you Irish heritage!) sweat profusely and gain the most horrific headaches thanks to sunlight.  I'd rather sleep all day and play all night. I'll admit though, the 15 spring days that we Texans are alotted, are the most amazing days of the year! The weather is clear, cool yet warm, bright yet cloudy enough to hide the sun a bit. How much better can you get???  Those are the few days I actually want to spend time outdoors.  I don't sweat much, the sun doesn't burn, the breeze is a breeze and not huge gusts of wind.  However, when night falls, no matter the weather, my mood improves greatly.  When I go to work, I want to look girly because I'm doing a mans job. I wear pigtails, I put bows in my hair, wear makeup.  I feel good about myself when I go to work (unless I just don't care that day).  I know that by doing my job, I can be quite intimidating to some people.  I'm one of 3 women who do my job at our location.  That says a lot.  The fact that I lift packages that a lot of the guys won't touch is a testament to my hard work, strength and possibly even stupidity.  I'm constantly getting slapped around and beaten by the freight because I'm on autopilot, trying to get the job done as quickly as possible.  My shins are lumpy, my thighs have a green and purple hue to them.  My abdomen and arms are beautifully bruised.   I enjoy my job because I know I'm good at it.  That may sound conceited, but this job is the one thing I know I'm good at.  My strength has always been a positive thing for me.  I'll admit, as a waitress, I was conceited.  Then again, I was a trainer within 3 weeks of learning to wait tables the first time, that's got to say SOMETHING. :) I've always been able to carry the trays everyone was afraid of.  At 18 years old, I trained 5 different people who eventually became managers.  I've seen 3 of them in the last 2 years and they all thanked me for pulling them out of their shells and teaching them about customer service.  People are my passion.  I love food, I love music, but people....where would the other two be without customers or an audience?  You please the people, they'll always come back wanting more.  

  I really want to manage this Jason's Deli, I love people so much and I love making customers happy.  However, I'm having my doubts.  Jason's is an AMAZING company to work for.  They're environmentally conscious and trying new things to save one more tree every time I turn around.  The problem for me, though, is the fact that they are not full service.  I miss the pace of a full service restaurant.  I  miss the stress and the  joy of a shift well done.  I miss becoming friends with the regulars and listening to they're life stories.  I know I could do that at Jason's, but it's just not the same. *sigh* I'm SOOO conflicted!!

 I'm also quite random.  I'm jumping around a lot.  Maybe I'll actually sleep now.  Who knows?
