To Much Fantasy Not Enough Reality

03:19 May 28 2013
Times Read: 346


I have had one hell of a dream, that can be haunting and depressing. I dream of a man that doesn't exist, and that I long to have as my own. Shit I need help don't I?



He's in the 6'6 range, eyes that are green as the emerald jewl, that reflect the lightening in the sky behind him. Auburn hair slightly shaggy but still short, that run over his eyes as the wind blows around him. His jaw is square cut and set stiffly set as he stares intently at his prey. His lips are thin and have a slight scar running from his top lip to the left side of his jaw line. His face has a slight five o'clock shadow, that you long to nuzzle.



His chest is nicely formed but covered with a black wife beater. Arms bare slowly being covered with rain drops. Broad shoulders taught with tension as thunder roars in the sky.



He wears black jeans that form nicely to his shape with a black leather belt holding them in place. Black Shit Kickers cover his feet.



He finally moves as the rain falls down faster and harder, my breath quickens, he opens his mouth to speak and then........



I wake up, and curse it all to hell saying that its not fair to do that to a girl. Shit I swear Im being teased by a trickster. Still not fair all the same.



I dream of a day where I don't long to see this man in reality and then I realize in order for that to happen I have to quit my romance novels.....I cant give those babies up, I don't drink I dont smoke and I don't get laid. That

s my only vice, so this dream guy will have to persist until someone can make me toss the book aside.....

This was the funnest and strangest thing on youtube

Sexy Disney Characters That We Are Strangely Attracted To

Cute as hell made me laugh at their dirty secret part.



You know whats funny, every girl has their fantasy man. Mine has always been of a man of about 6' to 6'8 Green eyes square cut jaw, tone body, strong but gentle hands, arms that could hold you close that you couldnt get out of even if you wanted to.



But as we all know men like that are either married, gay, or wouldnt look at you even if you were on fire. So personality, humor, good heart, and a temper like mine would do just fine with me. LOL



Honestly a man who could make me laugh even when i want to cry would be the winner of my heart. Trouble is will a find the right man?



Life will hand me a new ingredient if I've worked hard enough for it I guess. Now a few more things for that cake.

sore and angry

02:31 May 25 2013
Times Read: 364


Ok I was first asked to take the job, and I said no because it would mess with my time with my child. They decided to work with it and give me the job at my convenience, so I could still be with my child at certain hours of the day.

They now act like I tricked them by saying I could work any hour of the day and then changed my availability, to just screw with them. Now I may have to step down from management. No issue there for me. I didnt even want it to be honest. I took it cause they needed me to, and because they would work around my schedule.

But dont accuse me of shit I didnt do. Because I told them my child comes before my job. I just hope they find a replacement for me before they ask me to step down and if they dont its on them. I at least tried to help. Its not fault they dont check into fucking detail.

I used to be

01:20 May 23 2013
Times Read: 372


Today my daughter found one of my old journals...and omigod, I was such a moronic whiny little douche bag.



It was when I was in my teenage years, and I thought about depressing shit constantly, always focusing on my hurts and wounds and wallowing in self pity



Dont get me wrong I still have my wallowing days, and when Im going through them I want to kick my own ass. As of late I dont have much time to focus on that crap because of my constant busy schedule. Taking care of my kid, and being to exhausted to think about anything except what I need to do at work the next day and so on so forth.



Today was one day I had a crapy melt down day. I believe its due to the lack of sleep, stress of work and home, and being to pissed that I can never find anything in my size that I dont think is frumpy. I realize that Im finally loosing weight and shit but its a bitch to find shit I really like.



No Im not really overweight just slightly chunky, or pleasantly plump, but still they need to make decent plus size clothes. Its like that Phat Girls movie. PHAT standing for Pretty Hot And Thick.

No I dont view myself as hot but ive been told im quite cute although I dont see it, I tell them they need glasses.



But damn shit just gets old, I havent really slept in days, work is a pain in the ass, and my kid refuses to behave herself. So yes I had a melt down day. My sister was kind enough to put up with my shit knowing that its due to stress and exhaustion. I thank the fates for her.



But thank god, Im not as whiny as I used to be. I feel like going back in time to kick my own ass to tell me to snap out of it. I didnt know what hard was. I was and sometimes still am a giant douche bag. Like anyone else in the world. LOL



But I still have wants and dreams Im working toward and sometimes it feels as if it will never be accomplished. I just need to remind myself to keep the faith, and that Im making a cake I want to eat and not eat the crap cake life offered me in the beginning. No one can tell me I cant do something except for me, and damn it to hell I will succeed at getting my dreams coming true. With a bit of hard work and fate helping along the way I will get it.

I cant expect god to raise crops if i dont plow the fields and plant the seeds right. I have to work in order to make profit. I cant just sit back and let god do all the work and blame him for shit I should have been helping him accomplish what I want for my life and the life of my child. I need to keep my head high and thinks going.

Theres always going to be another mountain, another hill I will have to climb to get there. But it will be worth it to get to the other side. Ill see the sun as I reach the top and smile as I walk down towards my dream being accomplished. Ill be the one smiling at those who doubted that I could do it.



To those who believe in me thank you and to my beloved sister and my baby girl and nieces and nephews I love you. Thanks for standing by me and saying I can do anything I set my mind to. You are the ones and the reasons why I continue to press on in a dark world full of mostly hate and heartache. When my candle blows out your right there to relight that sucker and telling me to press on. I love you guys, you are wonderful.

Sleepless nights busy days, to tired and to sore to care most of the time. Just nonstop going. I need my vacation. Scotland take me away......just a few more years and im going. Hoping i can get a real bottle of liquid gold in the next few weeks. The old stuff. I swear that stuff tasted better aged. A twenty year old scotch. Just enough to take away your breath, bring tears to your eyes and set your blood to fire with a good swig.

I hate morons who say they will help you with a team lift and then they walk away and dont think to come back to help.



You dont dare tell them you got hurt doing the job cause then they'll say you dont need workman's comp, and thats if you ask for it. If you just say you got hurt they say take some Tylenol and get back to work.



Dont you just love them huge adorable jerks

lynsay sands quote

01:56 May 18 2013
Times Read: 394


“Intelligent people know they are intelligent. They also know that one person cannot know all, hence a person is not stupid simply because he is ignorant of one thing or another. They know that, to another intelligent person, they will not appear stupid in asking for an explanation of what they do not know, and so their ignorance on any particular issue does not become an embarrassment.”

― Lynsay Sands, Love Is Blind



“See, you have to marry me. I seem to scare off all the help.”

― Lynsay Sands, Single White Vampire



“Did you see that? Buffy just staked that poor vampire. He had yet to even do anything untowared, he just crawled out of his grave and she staked him. That is just not right. She is taking out her problems with that Angel fellow on a vampire, that is what she is doing.”

― Lynsay Sands, Single White Vampire



“Oh dear, is that a skunk?" Leonora asked.

"No," Alessandro gasped in horror. "No the smelly cat!"

"I've told you, Alessandro darling, they aren't cats."

"They look like cats. Like the big fluffy cat she's been stepped on and flattened to a big fluffy pancake cat," Alessandro argued.”

― Lynsay Sands, The Reluctant Vampire



“This looks good."

"That's Metamucil," Bricker said with disgust, snatching it from her hand.

"So?" She turned to scowl at him. "What's wrong with Metamucil?"

"It's--" He glanced at the container and read, "A dietary supplement."

"That sounds healthy," she said, trying to grab it back.

"Eshe," he said, his disgust giving way to amusement. "It's what old mortals take to get regular."

"To get regular what?" she asked, and then poked him in the stomach, hard. The moment Bricker bent over with an "oomph," she snatched the container back and repeated, "Regular what?"

"Crap," he gasped, clutching his stomach.

"I didn't hit you that hard," she said with some disgust of her own.

"No." He sighed, straightening. "I meant that's what they get regulated. Crap."

Eshe dropped the can in dismay. "They buy crap?”

― Lynsay Sands, Born to Bite



“I thought you said that after this many years nothing should embarrass him?" Leigh said with gentle amusement.



Lucian grunted. "I guess he's more sensitive than I thought."



"I am NOT sensitive," Cale snapped, irritated by the very suggestion.



"It's probably his mother's fault," Lucian said, ignoring him. "Martine named him after Caliope, the muse of poetry. Between that and his father dying when he was only fifty, he's probably suffered under Martine's namby-pamby influence.”

― Lynsay Sands, Hungry for You



“I made you something to eat if you’re hungry.”

Leigh peered at the steaming pile on the plate on the tray, then asked uncertainly. “What is it?”

“Prime cuts in gravy.”

“Prime cuts in gravy?” she echoed slowly. “Did you cook it?”

"I opened the can and heated it up in the microwave for one minute. Someone named Alpo cooked it.”

Leigh stiffened, her head shooting up, eyes wide with disbelief. “Alpo?”

He shrugged. “That’s what the can said.”

Leigh shook her head with bewilderment. “You can use a microwave, but not a phone, and don’t know that Alpo isn’t the chef, but the brand name for dog food?” There was something seriously wrong here.”

― Lynsay Sands, Bite Me If You Can

Tonight might sister and I went to see Meet The Peeples. The movie was ok in my opinion.



I personally thought it could have been better, considering it was Tyler Perry's work. It was packed with scenes that didnt need to be there, although it did have funny parts it wasnt enough to make want to see it again.



Sorry Ty, but my critic vote on average is i'll only see it once.

this song has been playing all morning and i swear its made me feel a little better



I stare at my reflection in the mirror

Why am I doing this to myself?

Losing my mind on a tiny error,

I nearly left the real me on the shelf

"no, no, no, no..."



Don't lose who you are, in the blur of the stars!

Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,

It's okay not to be okay...

Sometimes it's hard, to follow your heart.

Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising,

Just be true to who you are!

(who you are)x11



Brushing my hair, do I look perfect?

I forgot what to do to fit the mold, yeah!

The more I try the less is working yeah yeah yeah

'Cause everything inside me screams, "no, no, no, no..."



Don't lose who you are, in the blur of the stars!

But tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising,

There's nothing wrong with who you are!



Yes, No's, egos, fake shows

Like woah!

Just go, and leave me alone!

Real talk, real life, good love, goodnight,

With a smile,

That's my own ! That's my own. "no, no, no, no..."

What do you do?

00:39 May 14 2013
Times Read: 413


What do you do when your over people who you once related to? What do you do when you see when you need them most they're off doing things they used to do, that others allow? What do you do when you dont want them to loose their job, but they still cant seem to do what they know is and is not allowed?



I am at a loss......I dont want them to loose their job but I need them where their suppose to be, but they want to do other things. I understand when their told to do something, but when im told to pull them and then let them go when the task i need is done then it should be ok.



But when their caught wandering off into the bathroom to be on the phone what do you do? When you need them to go relieve someone else for their break and they fight you on it or give you attitude the way a teenager does a parent, what do you do?



At most it would be a write up but what if that is their max and they get fired.....would it be my fault, or theirs?

Mothers Day

Times Read: 415


Well today was interesting....I had to be at work at 6:30. When I clock in I go up to my station and I see that Im only staffed with 9 people for the entire day. On Mothers day......freaking mothers day. People came flooding in after church, and they were buying left and right last minute mothers day gifts. People were pissed because I didnt have enough people...all I could say was sorry I dont have anyone really scheduled for the day. I could tell they were angry but what they hell can I do about it?



I had another guy come up from another section, he was sweet as hell. He saw the look of dread and made it clear that I had to smile. He asked me what I was going to do at the end of my shift. I said most likely cooking and cleaning....he said no girl, your husband should do it. I said Im not married. Ok then your boyfriend. Nope been single for years.

No way a pretty little thing like you single, shit you got to be joking. For some damn reason I was smiling from ear to ear. I have heard a compliment like that in a loooooong time.

One of my employees gave me a rose for mothers day and made it clear that I should get a rose because every mother deserves something special, even if it is from another mother.



So dealing with bullshit from my mangers and my employees, and the best of all my customers, for a small piece of it was good.

Im so glad Im off tomorrow. I have to go to a memorial for one of my fellow classmates. He was killed in Iraq. Yellow and white roses should do just nice. I hope that his family will soon be ok.

I was given a promotion, and now I get to hear grown adults complain when they are 10 minutes late on their breaks, I mean they really jump my shit. When they see I'm running one place to the next to get people what they need.



They know I'm short staffed and I'm doing the best I can. Hell I had one employee tell me they knew it wasn't my fault and that she should be bitching out the guy who is way above, but I was there so here I got the bitching of a lifetime. I'm told I have to follow procedure so what am I suppose to do? I can't make everyone happy, and damn well don't intend to try.



I wish I could but the truth is if I tried they still wouldn't be happy and I'd turn to drinking cause Im so damn stressed out because of these idiots see im doing everything I can to get shit done. What more do they want from me? My blood, My sanity, or what my fucking soul.



Well sorry people I need my sanity so I don't kill people, I need my blood to survive, and My souls mine. Not giving that sucker up.



So they just need to shut up and back off before I give them a piece of my mind.

Bad day shitty people

Times Read: 446


Recently I have been totally pissed off by stupid shit at work. I wonder why people as a whole feel that it is ok to be a complete and total dick to a complete stranger.



Truth be told people are dicks because, they feel they don't know you so therefore they don't have to be nice to you. That your just another piece of shit to be stepped on.



In my head I say with a vengeful smile if I wasn't on the clock you sad sack of shit I could knock you off your horse and make you see how much of a asshole you truly are



And then you have the really sick annoying douche bag bosses who are true hypocrites. I just love how they scream at you if you don't do what they say and then boom they go around and do the same fucking shit you did except ten times worse. Next time I'm throwing it in their damn faces and showing them how much of a douche they are.



I'm grateful though vacation time, personal time, and higher pay for the dog for my kids Christmas present. I just want to put my foot up a few peoples ass and wiggle my toes so they know they are my bitch for a few short minutes.



I just need to remember I love one of my bosses, she rules and I would put up with just about anything to make her happy. I feel as if shes family, and family I gotta make smile and proud. I should ask if she wants to make a few people her bitch to. If she says yes I got the rope and handcuffs in my car. Lmao

When I was a little girl, I used to see this big tall man in the corner of my room. He would always wear blue jeans and black work boots. His shirt would be white or black, and on rare occasions blue. I could tell the he had broad shoulders and a square cut jaw. He had short hair that was almost military. The only thing I never saw was his face.



I can remember him always being there, but he'd always be around more when things got harder. I remember one night I had this horrible nightmare, waking up with a scream caught in the back of my throat, wanting desperately to run to mommy for help. But to scared to move. In one moment I look to that corner and there he is. I swear I could feel him telling me to relax, that everything will be ok, slowly it felt as if I was being held. The fear and anxiety bled from my body.



It's been at least seven years since I've seen him, and at times I miss him desperately. I wonder if I did something wrong to no longer get to see this man, or if it was just time to longer see him.



At times I swear I can still fell arms wrapping around me, holding me. For one moment I fell as I did that night.



Was he a guardian? Or was he just a figment of my imagination?

Scotland

Times Read: 459


I have always wanted to go to Scotland. It has been a dream of mine since I was little.



When I was a little girl and to this day I have dreams of where I am at the edge of the cliff and behind me is this small stone cottage. The fire is roaring with the scent of dinner in the air, and the wind is whipping around me. I'm in this peasants dress, smiling as I feel the waves crashing against the cliff. I always seem to feel this distinct feeling of home. To this day I still don't feel that way about any place I go.



Question is, when I get there; will i finally feel this sense of home or will I still feel as if it's not where I belong. They say home is where the heart is. Is that because its where you feel the most love, welcome, belonging?

Babies

I long to have another child, from the deepest part of my soul. At times I see other women pregnant, and I feel jealous. Why can they easily have what i desperately want?



I crave what they have with every fiber of my being. I just wish I could feel another kick another hiccup, or hell their toes stuck in my rib cage. Then hear their first sweet cry, and swear to god and whoever good is listening, that i will do my best to give them what they need and show them everyday that I am one of the proudest mothers on the planet.



The shitty thing is I need a man or his sperm to get pregnant. I have no time to date at the moment, and I could never bring myself to do a one night stand. I couldn't even look at myself in the mirror if I got pregnant and didn't let the father know. It is a mans right to know that he may or may not have a child. Even if it is a one night interlude. Now if its not and the mans a dick then he's not really a father he's a free sperm donor and thats a completely different story.



It's like on Parenthood, Todd says. You know you have to have a licence to get a car or hell even a dog. Butt any asshole can be a father.



In my opinion you are a father if you just donate genetic material and bounce, you are a Dad if you stay, love, and protect what you helped to bring forth into this world.



Unfortunately I cannot afford to go to a sperm bank to get pregnant. So I just sit and watch wanting desperately to know the joy of holding another one of my babies. I'll pray that one day a man will show up and blindside me and show me that I can have what I've always wanted
