I have always loved Christmas because I love gift giving. I guess that is part of why I am so surprised it is already here this year...I've not been able to buy anything for anyone really and feel uninvested. But, the kid has more than he needs without going off the deep end and I made it clear that was my one and only priority this year. I know the grown ups in your life will understand. And I know the grown ups in my life will too...but damn it sucks, huh?

I have to agree with you about what you said about marriage. Wow. It's been a struggle for me, as you know, but it's worth it. (Are you going to get comments? Just wondering, not pressuring you. I'd like to leave you comments, but I understand if you don't wanna.) And it was nice to read recently that you did find *one* thing you liked about Texas! LOL! Peace, Acorn :)

Often happiness is indeed a choice. Ever read "The Road Less Traveled?" I'm not big into self-help books, but I had to read it for a class way back in school, and the author has a few very good points. What's more, you're s-m-r-t, smart, and smart people can always shape their destinies.

There are things you say sometimes...and I just can't help but think that we are quite a bit a like. And it's odd that you can find someone like that from entirely different circumstances, in a complete different part of the world. Comforting.

I am glad you are home safe and sound and I am glad to hear your sister is holding up. I keep picturing her, the picture from your myspace...and as painful as the last entry ws for me to read, I can't imagine how it is for you and won't pretend to. But it makes me very sad and very very angry

i'm really behind in my reading...and just now am catching up. And I'd say I'm sorry...but that really just doesn't cover it. When you get back to TX let us know how everything is, mainly how your sister is.

I know I'm a complete dweeb, but I LOVE staffing agencies! I worked for several over the years, and one of my favorite assignments was actually working there in the office, helping them place others. Call me crazy (Why not? Everyone else does), but that was FUN.

Awww, I'm sorry another bug has got you in its grippe. Heh. Seriously, though, it does suck. They say stress taxes the immune system, and I'm betting that's what's happening with you. Do cut yourself some slack, lovie, though. A major move like that is a world rocker, and it takes time. Hugs!

Yeah, I hear ya on the secretary thing. I don't think I could do it. I don't know how you feel about working with the developmentally disabled, but I did that throughout college and really enjoyed it. It was a more active job, and it paid relatively well. Places with those kinds of jobs are always looking for people. It's just an idea in case you don't want to be stuck in an office all the time. ;)

Sorry about the work situation. I know how it is to work for people who have no consideration for ... anything or anyone but their own pockets filling up. Rent? yeah who needs to pay that. Phone? Electricity? What kind of poor ass people can't handle that? Ha...most of america. I'm thinking about you. My first Thanksgiving in CA I wasn't able to get home. I know how it can feel. But at least you two have each other (and I think you said the kiddo)...It will be okay, either way. But, I am going to keep my fingers crossed for a trip home.

the meeting of the kid...huge step. my four year old is kind of an ass...but...he's a boy. If ever you two would like to trade for a week or so, I'm all for it. lol I am excited for you! Let us know how it goes. And as for lonely...amazing how much easier that is to be when in unfamiliar territory. I had that in CA all the time...but, my partner didn't make ...any effort to help me not feel that way. This will get better. I know it will. I'm happy for you (and proud of you) for working through the issues you have run into thus far. It's never an easy transition, but go you, for even trying!!

I know all about destroying things slowly...either aware of it or not. I'm sorry that this transition isn't going as well as you had hoped. But, it does take time. And on the plus side...you are seeing one another at your worst right away...and that can be great to get out of the way. Give it time, a chance...if you ever need an ear to listen or eyes to read, I'm here. -- Des

Dawn does rock, and Oxy Clean will take care of just about everything else. If neither those, nor (in extreme cases) nail polish remover take care of the problem, I just figure it's pretty fucking unfixable. Stains add character to a house. Really.

Hey! I completely understand your anxiety over moving in with someone. I had so much trouble living with roommates. I thought it would be totally different living with Ted because I love him, and it was different in a lot of important ways, but (technically) he's still a roommate. It was tough for the first few months. Just remember to be open and communicate things that bother you and reaffirm that you're committed to each other. Things will work out. ;) Did you have the pizza?

after my life's circumstances changed so drastically last year I got to deal with lots and lots of debt collectors. To the point of almost getting an ulcer...finally I just started to ignore it. The fact is, I don't have the income I had last year...and I am living in the lap of...poverty. I grew up with things being tight...very very...and any schooling or anything else has had to be done on my own. What I love is the dirty looks when I was driving my relatively new car but working at McDonald's...Like they just KNEW I was a welfare momma. Like they were paying for my car. No one was...it was a reminder of my previous life. The height of pride for me? When Target called over a mere three hundred dollar card and accused me of racking up the bill with no intentions of paying it. Calling me 'nothing better than a shoplifter" that was great. Forget that I'd had the card for three years and paid it on time and over the minimum balance for two and half years. Forget that I explained the changes in my life to one debt collector after another...I've gotten so I don't even answer the calls anymore. But nobody is willing to understand
that some things are circumstantial and not just people being irresponsible. blech to all of them

You are totally a younger version of me except that you have figured stuff out way earlier than I ever did!I am about 15 yrs older than you and just came to some of the same conclusions only about 5 yrs ago. You are a very smart gir. I am so with you on the wasted time theory. You deserve a rest and be done with the ceramic frogs!! Best wishes.

For a pre-paid phone card? That is a bit much. And all of those people wearing the clothes and getting the $200 hair and going to concerts at your age? Trust me, unless Mommy and Daddy are paying for it or they are attorneys or doctors themselves, MOST of them are going to be paying interest on those things for years. I'd say you're in the minority. Of all the people I know who have credit debt, I'd say 90% of them are just irresponsible, from my ex-husband to one of my sisters to my father (when he was alive). I've had times where I've lived off my cards. Absolutely. Relocating, health bills with no insurance, etc. Done it all. Paid my rent with cash advances from a card a few times. But when you see young'uns whipping out the card at Nordstrom, in a salon, and at dinner? Nuh-uh. They're either subsidized or clueless.
