Someone hand me a pacifier...

Someone have a pacifier ready for me? I cried and then found out that we had a communication error...and so the drama began...

On Friday night I was all ready to go...and here I was sitting there waiting for him to show up...and he was a no-show. Umm..yeah there I am thinking that I was being stood up. Not the best of feelings. So, he calls me on Saturday night to see what time to meet up! Umm...yeah, the nights were mixed up. Communication. But here is the thing...I already had made prior plans for Saturday. Long ago. So, that night was out. Here I am thinking horrible, horrible thoughts to him on Friday and he was doing nothing. Well, ok preparing himself for Saturday night! Now what to do? We are looking at this weekend. We will figure it out when I talk to him. And, oh yeah, I do like him. *She admits it* But when he called me on Saturday to confirm that we were going out I seriously cried. Because here I thought that he didn't really like me...And I was being stood up...All it was a cruel joke that he was playing on me. Yeah I feel like an idiot NOW! I then informed him that I was stood up not to long ago...cheated on by my last serious boyfriend. He commented back that he was neither one of those guys and asked me why would he have asked me out to stand me up? I am still thinking over that one yet though! But I am now smiling lots again!

And let's see. Weather is holding out for me! Still able to run around in flip flops and light coats at night. *Yeah*

On that note now...where did I set that Pacifier at now? I (hopefully) won't need it this time around! hehehehe

Take care~

Ok...

Umm...I know that I have been slacking a bit over the last few weeks...It has been a LONG few weeks though...On November 4, 2006 my uncle was out cutting down trees with some of his friends and one of the trees fell on him and hit him directly across the back of the head and knocked him out. Well, that is where is friends found him and they thought that he had just passed out (he is a diabetic) so they called 911. Paramedics arrived...assessed his condition and took him to ER. They started X-Rays and found a broken hip so they decided to send him to Fargo. But that was the least of our worries...It turns out that he has a broken neck. Anterior and Posterior. Plus he also has spinal cord injury. So, that means that he may never walk again. As of right now that is what his doctors are telling him at least. He does have movement in his arms and hands and can grasp. He will start physical and occupational therapy as soon as they get his breathing under control. Yes it has been a LONG week and half. He also lives with my Grandmother so she is stressing big time. The house that they live in...it is about 120 years old...handed down from my Grandfathers' Grandparents...There is almost no way that they can make it accessible for a wheelchair...so, both my Grandmother and Uncle know that they will have to move...and I know that it makes my Grandmother a little sad because of all the memories that house holds.

And then the other "funny"...I am going to have to go kill my mechanic tomorrow! YUP...he is dead...all thanks to the guy that he hired to help him...So, the saga started last Thursday when I left work and I brought my car over there...I was leaving town for the weekend (with mothers vehicle) and figured what better time to get an oil change and tires looked at...So, 5 days later and it has yet to be even touched...I have called and made a pest of myself about 5 times a day the last 2 days...I just got frustrated and called tonight asked to talk to P (mechanic)...Informed that he is not there...Ok, T (assistant) informs me that is not sure of what is going on with my car...I tell him that I NEED IT regardless of what he knows...And that I am coming to get it tonight...He then proceeds to tell me that he doesn't think that I can come and take it...EXCUSE ME!!!!...Am I not the registered owner???? So, I tell him that I need it and I ask him if he knows where the keys are at...He tells me that the keys are in the car...and the car is on the lot...Unlocked (So, in essence anyone could have came and drove off with my car and they would have never known it)...I then told T to make sure that he went to my car and locked it when he got off the phone with me...Stupid me for not following up...Because when I went to get my car my sister gets out of the van and jumps into my car and then realizes that the doors are unlocked and the keys are in the ignition...Boy are P and I going to have a GREAT discussion tomorrow...In person not just over the phone! (A little background: P and I have known each other for about 10 years...through mutual friends...He went away to Iraq in the Guards and then when he came back he started working at this place and about 3 years ago bought out the other guy and that is when I started going there...After my last mechanic started treating me like I was an idiot...So, I will need to remind P that I am NOT an idiot I guess)

And as far as the Crush goes...Yes, I admit, I think I do! We are trying to plan on going out sometime...We are setting a goal for this Friday...Oh, that's only about 3 days away! Oh My! *Giggles*

Thanks for listening!

Happy Weekend

I once had this Long-Term relationship...He was caught cheating on me on my Birthday. I then started to explore and flirt more with other guys. Having fun is what it is called...Well, anyways...I decided that I wasn't really into having a relationship quite yet. I then travelled accross the country to Oregon and met some really awesome people out there...And came away with some life-long friendships. Then when I came back I remained a "Good Little Girl" for a while...Those were the days I have to say!

As of recently though I have become more outgoing and a little bit more open...You see when I was dating the ex I was a little bit on the shy side...Always thought that what I was going to say was the wrong thing and never knowing when to say the right thing. He was a little bit more controlling then what anyone would have thought that I would ever be with. I see now how wrong that was and I am glad that I learned that it is not right to be in that kind of relationship. I guess that I am one of the lucky few that make it out of that kind of situation. At the time though I believed that we were going to be together forever. I see now how wrong I was and believe that forever will come some day...Just not today or tomorrow.

This subject got brought up tonight because I was thinking about that when I was talking about the fact that I am going to go out next weekend. There was one girl trying to convince me that it would be a bad idea...Even went as far as to tell me that he does shit...And you know what??? I don't believe it because of the sheer fact that he lectured me about how bad it is to smoke...AND I QUIT 10 YEARS AGO! Yes, I, Joy did smoke while I was in college...And the coaches used to give me hell...But I still ran faster and farther than the girls that didn't smoke...So, you figure that one out!


So, in essence never believe in what others have to say...Always stick to what you believe...Because it is what you think that counts the most. I will take my time and get to know him...Although we have known each other for about 6 months now...But when we first met I was still attempting to go out with another guy (B). But have since found out that B was hitting on a friend of mine...He is, to refresh your memories, 27...She is in High School...SO, yeah I, personally, think that is wrong.

WELLLLLLL...Enough for one night...The saga continues next week...

Take care and have a spectacular weekend! I will be!

Oh I hate weekends...

It seems as if weekends are my curse. Something bad can happen all of the time BUT this last weekend was just...well...not the best for my family. Not going into too much detail about it now though. Let's just say that it was bad.

But on the other note...I have a friend...and he and I have been friends since about April or May...Umm...I met him through Brandon. (If you have known me for a while you know about Brandon). So, anyways I was casually mentioning that we should do something sometime. Just kind of came out of my mouth. He laughs...Generally I have found that when the guy laughs it is not a good sign...But this was a good laugh...Because it turns out that he had asked me the same thing a few months ago and I totally did not hear him ask me that so I never responded either way and he thought that I was not interested. And with my sister standing right there I pass him my number with instructions to use it. So, we will see if he does or not...Hoping that he will. Then we have to plan a weekend to get together. Not during the week at all because he has a job at the college (and I am not really one to go out during the week due to work). But no more practices. Just lifting, teaching, coaching, and the occassional recruiting trip.

Have a Great Week! I will return soon!
