Growing Up

In the past couple of years I have noticed an alarming trend. I seem to be growing up. I am now a woman with a real Bank account, I have a car payment, I am looking into relegated to purchase. I have recently made an appointment to see a lawyer to have a will drawn up. I am trying to repair a lot of mistakes I've made in my past.
I guess I watched my friends either grow up or pretend to grow up. One friend, who would swear she was an exceptional Adult, is the most childish person I've ever met. She has 4 kids, who she swears are killing her 1/2 the time. A perfectly nice husband, who she always thrashes and undercut. A house in a nice town, which she hates because it isn't as clean as she would like all the time. With all that she would seem to be a Grown up, but in reality everything that is wrong in her life is someone else's fault and she regresses to our High School Years at the drop of a hat. I really do feel sorry for her and I have to admit I have pretty much totally pulled away from her in the past couple of years.
Then I have the friend who really has grown up (Not that she would wear a serious expression in the middle of July) She has a decent Job that although she occationally Bitches about I believe she really thrives on. She has made a place for herself in the world without having to depend on all sorts of other people. Yet she is still a part of my and many others lives. She takes responsibility for herself and her life and she seems to be happy in most of her choices.
The second friend is the one I strive to be more like. I had a small short circuit for a while and before that I had no reason to be serious about much of anything, but now I have a son and a fairly respectable job and I use the word Heiney a lot.
Here is to the RedHead from Blondilocks, thanks for making me think about what I want to be when I grow up.

By the way, on a different note, their was a huge industrial waste incident on my head, please pray for me to get normal hair color back soon!!!!

Weekend Delight

So Dave took my hint (Will wonders never cease) and took me dancing. It was kind of cool, we went to a restraint called the Wellington in Rolling Meadows and danced to a lot of Big band Music. The best part was the Band name though, it was "The Manila Funk Band" Dave of course keeps swearing that the band was Manila Vanilla, but I know he is Getting Sometimers. You have never danced to Sinatra until you have Danced to Sinatra as done by a Filipino gentleman. I had a Apple martini. It was very strong. It was a lot of Fun and I hope we do it again soon, this coming weekend he is talking about going to a dance Bar. That will be fun too!!

New Job

OK, sorry about the delay (Salright Dawn!) I am in training for my new job, so far I really like it a lot. We did have one guy that was really not doing well, they had to let him go. I felt sorry for him, but there is only so much you can do to help a person before it becomes a detriment to them. Any way, I am learning a lot of new stuff about printing (Surprise, Surprise!) and I actually got to see some presses the other day. They are pretty cool. I'm not really learning how to sell so much as how to talk about the products intelligently.
Also I recently got a new car. Just for the record, I am loving it!! I is a really spiffy "Virgin American Camel". Joey also loves it, but we did have to go out and get him a booster seat instead of his regular car seat, the best thing about the booster as far as he is concerned is that fact that it has cup holders!! Now he has enough leg room no matter who is sitting in the passenger seat.
Also, I have started trying to get back into Yoga and Taoism again. Not like as a religion, but as a way of calming myself and getting a little more physical limber. I know it sounds kind of like "New Age BS" but it really worked for me in the past.
So now I've pretty much updated you on all the great stuff!! The boy toy is still around more or less, I am still trying to get my mother a new job (It totally seems to stink looking for a job when you are over 50) and I still teach the HS Class every other week at church. I am looking into getting Joey into a daycare 2 days a week and my father is actually all for it, he used to sneer every time I suggested it.
Hope you are all doing well.
