I would say this is pretty accurate

Your Birthdate: May 26
Your birth on the 26th day of the month (8 energy) modifies your life by increasing your capability to function and succeed in the business world.
In this environment you have the skills to work very well with others thanks to the 2 and 6 energies combining in this date.
There is a marked increase in organizational, managerial, and administrative abilities.

You are efficient and handle money very well.
You're ambitious and energetic, while generally remaining cooperative and adaptable.
You are conscientious and not afraid of responsibility.

Generally sociable and diplomatic, you tend to use persuasion rather than force.
You have a wonderful combination of being good at both the broad strokes and the fine detail; good at starting and continuing. This birthday is practical and realistic, often seeking material satisfaction.

Something I should remember more often...

Don't make your love a barter, Of gives and takes and exchanges,
Love selflessly.
Don't make your love a questionmark? Of whens? and whys? and hows?
Love unquestioningly.
Don't make your love a straightjacket, Of do's and don'ts an emotional bondage,
Give it space to breathe.
Don't make your love a condition, Of if and then and that is why,
Love unconditionally.
For true love gives selflessly,It doesn't question why?It lets you breathe,it sets you free, To feel its depths inside.
Don't make love a bondage, Don't clip the wings of love,It needs to grow it needs to fly, To conquer the clear blue sky.
So trust your love and set it free,.It will always be with you Don't put conditions and make it flee,Or you will wonder too- where has love gone??

Happy Birthday to me

Yep, it's finally here...my LAST year in my twenty's! I must say the morning started out pretty crappy. Our customer relations chick told me on Monday that she was going to cater breakfast today for my birthday. It happened to coincide with the Rolling Thunder ride, but she told me it would be "in honor of my b-day". I was like "cool". So I didn't eat anything this morning and I didn't bring any oatmeal because I thought there would be food. So I get to work and log into my computer and decide to go check out the breakfast scene. I go outside and guess what? All the food was GONE! And I must say she was pretty rude about it too. She says to me "it's all gone, sorry about your luck". No happy birthday, no nothing, just a rude comment. So I turned around and went back to my desk, hungry and a little peeved.

About 15 minutes later my co-worker and friend Leetha came up to me with a homemade b-day cake. I was quite surprised she had taken the time to bake me a cake!! I thought it was a very nice gesture. And it came at the perfect time, as I was Starvin! So I ate like 2 pieces of cake for breakfast and I convinced those around me to eat it too! It was delicious!

I went to lunch with another co-worker today Patty. We went to the Moon Dog and I had Buffalo Chicken strips, which made me think of my friend Kat, as we always ate buffalo wings together. And I was sad she couldn't be here to join me. But I know she remembered me on my special day because she sent me an e-card and an email! Thanks Kat! The sucky part is we had to go to lunch at noon, because the "guys" are jerks and wouldn't let Patty leave at 1:00. So now we have 5 hours to kill before the end of the day!!! So here I sit, blogging, surfing the net and doing anything but WORK! I don't wanna work today. I want to go home and hide away from everybody and eat ice cream cake! LOL

Indianapolis Fever Game

Some friends and my wife took me to the Fever Game last night for my birthday. At first I wasn't really thrilled with the idea. Yes, I like women's basketball, but I haven't really watched it in a few years and last night the Season Finale of The Contender was on.

Turned out we had FRONT ROW seats, courtside and to the left side of the basket. I must say I was impressed with the seats. I have never been that close to a game and the ball almost hit me like 5 times! I ended up having alot of fun. Since we left right after work, we had to eat the food at the Dome. Susan spent $23.00 on: 1 hot dog, bottled water (for me) and fish and chips, soda (for her) and we shared a pretzel. Well we didn't really share the pretzel, because it was kinda hard and didn't taste very good. I ate a few bites and was over it. So I have this $3.00 bottle of water and it's not even a name brand and the bitch takes my CAP!!! I was like "can I please have my cap back?", she say's it's against the policy and that I could use it to throw in the court! I was like "If I wanted to throw something in the court, I'm sure I could find something alot better than a plastic water bottle cap". I was pretty unnerved by it, but I managed to get over it and tried to be very careful not to spill it!

We got home just in time to see who won The Contender. (Sergio "The Snake") I am hoping to catch it on re-run on CNBC tonight! They better replay it, or I will be a little upset!!

I'm really happy it's Wednesday. My boss is off today and I get to do whatever I want! Then tomorrow is my poopy birthday. I'm sure it won't be anything special. At least I won't be dissappointed when it's not. :-) Just another year...my last year in my Twenty's. Where oh where did my youth run off to???? I remember looking in the mirror and wandering what I would look like when I was 25, now I look in the mirror and try to remember what I looked like when I was 18!!! Go figure!

3 days and counting..then I'm off to Cali! My entire week is already filled up with things to do. But at least it should be a fun week and I will get out of this place for a while. I'm sure the time will fly by way too quickly, as it always does when your having fun. Never know, maybe I will love it back home and decide to move back. I'm definitely thinking about it. But I just have to wait and see how I feel and I will start from there.

Demo Day

Today was employee Demo day at work. We had to be there at 7am and breakfast was provided. Shortly after breakfast, we got to ride! First up was the Harley-Davidson Street Rod, new this year. I was a little intimidated at first. My toes barely touched the ground and this was a pretty big and heavy bike..not to mention it is the fastest bike Harley makes. I took it for a test spin around the parking lot then took off on the road. I rode with a co-worker, Craig and he had a pretty nice route planned. Lots of curves and probably about a 10 or 15 mile ride. I found the Street Rod to be kinda sluggish and hard to manuever. It has power, but it just wasn't what I expected out of this bike.

The second bike was the Honda CBR600RR. It was scary at first too. I must be really short, because again I was just tip-toeing on this bike. I took it for the test spin around the lot and off we went again. This bike was a turd, until you hit 7,000 RPM and that's when you hit the powerband and take off! Overall the bike was fun, but not very comfortable, not very nimble and not as quick as my SV650!

The third bike was one that I never really thought to ride. The Sportster 1200. They were just getting ready to put it away and I was like "Hey, I want to ride that". So I took it around the lot and giggled the whole time because it has forward controls and I kept putting my feet in the wrong place. But the bike felt Great! So I begged them to let me take it out and they agreed. So off we went again. I felt so cool on this bike. I think it was the comfortable seat and the forward controls. I felt stretched out and relaxed. I could even touch the ground! It was by far the funnest ride of the morning. It had great accerlation and handled the curves just right! I was in heaven. The whole time I had a huge grin on my face and at times I would laugh and scream (usually when I was hauling ass). I didn't want to go back! What a great bike! I never would have thought I would hear myself say "I love the XL1200". But I do, and one day, I'm just going to have to get me one!

Open Wide

Today I went to the dentist..again. I had a root canal and a crown done over the last several weeks and it something I hope I never have to experience again. Today was just my cleaning and x-rays. My dentist handed me over to another hygenist and she was really nice. The first thing she asked me is: Are you married and do you have children? I was like..uh..yeah, I'm married and no I don't have any kids. So then it seemed like every question after that was about my "husband". And I wanted to tell her "I don't have a husband". But I didn't want to freak her out. And I didn't know how she would react. She seemed nice enough, but people can get weirded out. So I just answered all the questions as honestly as I could and tried to say "he" as little as possible. It drove me crazy! I am not ashamed or embarassed of who I am. But it was awkward. And every time I went to say something, I couldn't get it out. Oh well. I guess that's just something I have to deal with.

So it turns out I have 6 small cavities and 2 of my old fillings need to be replaced. Let's see I have already spent upwards of $1200.00 in the last month on my teeth and now 8 cavities!!! I told her it would have to wait until the end of June. So I better start saving my pennies!

Friday the 13th

Well so much for the Cereal "diet". I managed to eat cereal for breakfast and lunch only 2 days this week. Then I cut back to eating it only for breakfast. I'm not even going to tell you what I had for lunch yesterday, it wasn't so much that it was alot of food, but it was definetly not the food I want to be eating, so I will leave it at that. Today is Chinese Friday, so I did eat quite a bit at the buffet, but I didn't go back for seconds. So I'm taking a friends advise and am not going to go on any diets, only try to adjust the things I eat and be more aware of what I put in my mouth. I'm not one to really deny myself, so I'm not too concerned with overindulging. I am one of those people that can eat ONE cookie or one scoop of ice cream. I don't feel the need to eat the whole package (thank goodness), or I would really have a problem on my hands!

With that being said, I'm just looking forward to the weekend. This week FLEW by and I anticipate the same for next week. Before I know it I will be another year older and on my way to California! Let's hope that California weather is better than the weather we are having in Indy!!!

Wish I was Riding...

The weather keeps advising of Thunderstorms and has said all week that it supposed to rain. So all week I drove in. And so far..No Rain...No Thunderstorms! I haven't even had a chance to ride in weeks! And even though riding to work isn't really where I want to ride, at least it get's me out there. I really wish I had some friends that had Saturday off and had a bike. Oh well. A girl can dream. I do enjoy riding by myself, I just never know where to go. I feel silly riding downtown, then making a circle to come back. And plus everyone downtown usually rides in possies. I could go south and just ride until it turns to farmland, which is about 20 min., but then what? I would really love to ride the Dragon! Hopefully Susan will take me this summer. I talked to her about taking me and she says she will, but WHEN is the question. So I'm just hanging in there and maybe soon the weather will clear up and I can ride to work.

Not much else happening here. I'm just excited about going to visit my mother in California. Only 2 weeks and counting. I already have so much planned, but only 5 days to do everything. On Sunday, we are going to the Swap Meet at the Fairgrounds, which I used to do all the time, it's HUGE and takes all day to see everything. I am keeping my fingers crossed that they have Big Artichokes, becuase we are having a Birthday BBQ on Monday and Artichokes would just top it off! My brother and I are also going to Universal Studios and I'm trying to decide if I want to buy the VIP passes, which will put us at the front of the line and priority seats at all the shows. I just don't want to spend the extra $25 to buy the tickets online and get there to find NO LINES anyway! That would suck! So if anyone has ever bought the VIP tickets, let me know if it's worth it! We also plan on going to the beach one day and also to Big Bear, the local mountains. Then I have to find some time to spend with Molly, she was my Best Friend for like 6 years, she is now married with 2 kids and I hope she will find some time for me. On Friday my mom wants to us to Catalina and rent a golf cart so we can go around the island. I'm really looking forward to that! I think it will be a blast. She said we will just take the Catalina Flyer, which takes less than 30 min. Then before I know it, Saturday will come around and we fly back to Indy. Vacation always goes too fast! Oh yeah, my old boss wants me to have lunch with him too, he is trying to convince me to move back to Cali. But I'm not so sure that's really what I want. Figuring I want something different every week, I'm not going to say yay or nay. I am keeping an open mind and see where my heart guides me.

A Better Day

Amazing that when you start to have a more positive outlook on life, better things start to come your way. I was so negative for about a week and it was really bogging me down. I have since had better days. My dreaded LONG day on Friday, which I was supposed to work from 1pm to 10pm turned out to be a SHORT day and not only did I get to go home early (7pm) I got an additional $100 bonus!!! I would say things started to look brighter from that point on! The weekend proved relaxing and I got to sleep in both days. I washed my car on Saturday, then it rained a few hours later and looked dirtier than it did before I washed it! Of coarse Sunday was a beautiful day, so I washed my car again! Even though we are expecting more rain this week, it was good exercise and it got me out in the sun! We got the fish tank filled with water and rocks, now we just have to wait for the water to acclimate and we can get some fish! We used to have a Saltwater tank, but because it is so expensive to maintain and time consuming, we decided to make the change to freshwater.

We had our normal gang over last night for the L Word. And to my amazement, they ALL arrived very early. Which left time to make Pina Colada's. After one drink, our friend Dee went outside to have a smoke then decided to strip down (to her skivies) and jump in the hot-tub! Of coarse there were a few of us that were hoping she would have taken it all off, as we do not wear clothes in the hot-tub, but we allowed it this one time! Before we knew it, everyone was in! It is the first time in almost a year that we have had ANYONE besides ourselves in it! Of coarse the water needed changed and smelled strongly of chemicals, but nobody complained and we all relaxed for about 20 min, before over-heating and drying off to watch our show.

Today has been a good day, I started my "cereal" diet today. Basically I am eating cereal for breakfast and lunch with a "sensible" dinner. I was (of coarse) to lazy to get up this morning and work out, so I am going to get my fat ass on the treadmill tonight if it kills me. I absolutely HAVE to shed some fat before I visit my mother. She has went from a size 10 to an 8 and seems to think that I should be that size too! What she doesn't understand is I am a thick girl, always have been. I could lose 30 lbs, and I would still be fat in my mother's eyes. So really, I don't know why I am doing this to myself. I am what I am. Sure I get down on myself for being heavy, but I am still the same person whether I am 140 lbs or 190 lbs. So cheer me on, I need the inspiration! Which seems to be my downfall. I have no one to motivate me. And lately I have not been much help to myself. I am really going to try (again) to get my ass in high gear! So any words of inspiration will be greatly appreciated!

Feeling...alone... Posted by Hello

posted by scarletpappion at 11:21 AM 3 comments

Alone

Sometimes I feel so alone. Even though I am surrounded by people, inside I feel very alone. One of my two close friends has moved away and left inside me an empty space. Sometimes we just don't realize how much we will miss someone until it's too late. We did alot together: Ate lunch every day, talked, emailed, confided in each other, bowled, enjoyed Starbucks ALOT and shopped together. I did more with her than I do with my own "wife". Granted, my "wife" would rather work and do things with other people than with me. At least that's how I feel. She's a workaholic. For instance this week alone: Monday, I got home at 6:30, we ate dinner, then she took the dog to class at 7:15, came back home around 9:00, then went right to the computer and got online to answer questions (her new p/t job) until 1am! Tuesday, she came home from work at 6:45, we ate dinner, she left at 7:30 to go back to work and "re-arrange" the store, came home at MIDNIGHT, then went to the computer and answered questions for how long? I don't have a clue! Now it's Wednesday, which is Dog Class night AGAIN, basically repeat of Monday. As for the computer questions, that has become a nightly ritual. And one that to date, she has not received a PAYCHECK! I wonder, does she just not want to me around me? I personally enjoy my alone time, but come on! This is getting ridiculous! If I'm going to be single and alone, then why do I have a wife? Why do I feel like I'm not ALLOWED to do anything? But she can run off and do whatever she wants? Even vacations, when she goes to Deals Gap to go riding for the weekend, she wants to go with "her boys". I ride too, and I have never been. They go 4-5 times a year, and JUST ONCE I can't go????? WTF??? I am really starting to feel angry inside. I will not be tossed to the side and not say anything. Here's a little something I have been thinking about. When I go back to California this month for my b-day, maybe I will start making the arrangements to MOVE back home! Yeah, that's right, fuck this place! I'm pretty much in a dead end job, and a dead end relationship. My meter is just about fed up...and anyone that knows me personally, knows that means, Watch the Fuck out! Lickity split, this bitch is outta here! The seed is planted, when the meter is full, I will be out of here!!!
