Forgive & Forget

As a small child, my mother taught me that Jesus said to "forgive and forget" when someone wronged you, and even when I no longer belonged to the religion of my parents, that thought hung in the back of my mind.  Sometimes forgiveness can be the hardest thing to come by, especially when the hurt is still fresh in your mind.  Oh, but how freeing it can be as well; not only for the the person you're forgiving, but also for your own sense of well being.

However, while this idea is in the back of my head, I don't completely agree with it.  Forgiving, yes.  Forgetting?  No way.  If you were to forget the bad things people do to you, or the negative ways they treat you, then you allow yourself to be treated that way again.  You allow those things to keep happening to you, and you just end up in a twisted cycle.  So no, I wont forget, but I will forgive.

This week, I let the forgiveness in.  Something along the way urged me to extend a peace branch, and even if it was refused-I still feel accomplished.  The peace and good energy was put out there, I tried to speak to him in a normal sense, and he wasn't having it.  Now, that is on him, and no longer on me.  If he wishes to continue to hold a grudge and be angry about it, so be it.  However, I will no longer carry these negative burdens around with me.  Life is too short to hold onto things like this; it's time to move on.

Also, the woman in the office that he's seeing now (you know, the one that caused so much drama by running her mouth about me and also things she's done to the other ex) was in tears the other day because everyone has ostracized her.  We all know what she's done to people, and in that sense no one wants to be her friend and she's feeling it now, and for some reason I feel a little bad about it.

By all means, it's only a little bad because some of it seems very much deserved, but blame it on my bleeding heart, I hate to see another human so desperate for a friend that she'd break down and cry at work.  So I did what any good-natured human being (or maybe just someone with the remnants of a savior complex that can't stand to see people hurting) would do-I forgave her and passed it through the grapevine that I didn't hate her.  Also, when she came and asked me a question Saturday morning, I smiled warmly and responded as sweetly as possible in hopes of showing her that not everyone hates her.  Perhaps, if someone who she's actually wronged can show her kindness, everyone else will follow suit...

Besides, I have a feeling she's going to need some friends eventually, because she's bound to end up like those of us who have already been there. 

In any case, I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off of my chest, and I feel so much better about the entire thing.  Work doesn't seem as dreadful as it did, and I feel like my old self again-the me who can't hate anyone. 

What do you guys think?  Is it weird that I feel good about making someone happy who wronged me?  Do you have any stories of times you had to forgive someone and realized how much it made you feel better?  Any thoughts on "forgive and forget"?

Please share, I'd love to hear it!

Little Super-Hero

I found Spiderman.

I'll bet you don't know his secret identity.

But I do!

I totally love this little guy!

Dear So & So: Mr. President

Dear Obama,

I think I love you again.  Really, I wasn't sure if you would live up to the hope I had for you when you were first elected, and by all means I didn't see much happen this past year.  However, your State of the Union (read the transcript here) renews the faith in me that if you so wish, you can do great things to re-shape this country.  Thank you for owning up to some stuff, and for leaving me with a little encouragement that all hope is not lost.  Sometimes it's hard to remember that when I look at the hundreds of thousands who are now jobless, homeless, and lost in the bad economy.  That being said...

I WANT HEALTH CARE REFORM.  I want to be able to drive down the road without fear that a car accident will send me into Bankruptcy.   Do you know how terrible it is to live your life under the thought that if you were to become terminally ill or involved in a serious accident that you might just tell them "Let me die, I can't afford the ambulance ride"?  It's horrifying.  I need to be able to visit a doctor when I fear I have pneumonia, instead of just buying a bottle of nyquil and hoping it will magically go away.  I don't have insurance; I can't afford insurance, and I live in fear that I will lose my job and no longer even have the money for the bottle of cough syrup.

I WANT EQUAL RIGHTS. So you're finally going to do something about the "Don't ask, don't tell." policy?  Awesome!  But what about everything else?  Yes, that's a step in the right direction, but how about telling states they don't have the right to restrict the rights of their members?  I live in Utah.  This is the home of the Mormons, and they basically run everything here.  Their religious leaders tell our Politicians that gays are an abomination and should not be allowed to marry.  How is that not in direct contradiction to the Constitution which governs all 50 states?  How can we allow the rights of a minority to be subject to a majority vote?  This ignites a fury within me, and I could go on, but I'm not going to address the hypocrisy that I see in the religious teachings and the love of Jesus on this matter; rather the political and constitutional rights of your citizens, regardless of their sexual orientation.

I have hope, President Obama, that if you really try you can make some much needed changes in this country.  I want so very badly to be proud to be a U.S. citizen, but instead I find myself wishing I lived in Europe, where they have much better Economies (England is officially out of the recession) and a greater sense of love and equality for their people.  Show me, Mr. President, that our country can truly live up to it's great name so that I can stand with my hand over my heart and say in all honesty that I am proud to be an American.  Renew my faith in this nation, the faith that was brought over by our founding fathers and the pilgrims when they tried to create a "free" nation. 

Show me hope,
A Citizen of the United States of America.

DA Showcase: Oh Little Spider

Another day, and my head is yet again empty of things to write here... Date tonight, otherwise static.  So here's another piece of work from my past...

This is sort of an "adult nursery rhyme" that I wrote a while back, and really loved. 

It's called Oh Little Spider.

Oh little spider on the wall,
sing a song for me.

Remind me that I'm not so small,

help to set me free.

For if I leave this place alive,

I'll surely help you spin.

To exit webbed corridors I strive,

but I'll come back again.

Oh little spider in corner dark,

weave your colorful web;

and in it place a magic spark,

to help to raise the dead.

If this thing for me you do,

I promise yet a wish.

I'll return my love so true,

and bring for you a kiss.

Oh little spider spinning there,

cut the ties that bind.

Set free this maiden oh so fair,

and you shall have what's mine.

This my promise forever I'll keep,

through hell or heaven or war.

Back to this darkness I will seek,

and be forever yours.

DA Showcase: The Warmth of Your Smile

Don't have much to write about today, but hate that my blog may go a day without a post... I think this may be becoming an addiction?  What do you think?

Anyway,  here's another photo from my past, I love this shot and it's contrast.  I took it of my friend Melanie Grace when we were living together.  She did her hair in dreadlocks and did some modeling for me.  I call this photo The Warmth Of Your Smile.  Flash from the past, I took it in 2006.

Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad

25 years today!

What do you have to show for it?

You've raised 4 beautiful children.

There has been...

Almost 24 years of raising one crazy & independent daughter.

She speaks her mind, takes care of herself, and works hard.

(That's me folks!)

Just about 22 years of raising of raising a son.

He's intelligent, hard working, and has good taste in women! ;)

Nearly 20 Years with a bubbly daughter.

You've made her sweet, kind, and affectionate.

13 1/2 years with a rambunctious boy.

He's grown to be talented, loving, and a great little friend.

You have gained

A beautiful daughter-in-law that fits right in with the family

...a son-in-law who makes your baby girl happy...

And so many memories along the way!

I love you so much mom & dad, and I'm so glad that when dad tried to take you home as a gift for his best friend Floyd, that he ended up falling for you instead!  We had our ups and downs growing up, mostly due to being too alike or me being a teenager, but I will be eternally grateful that you raised me and ingrained in me the strong moral compass and work ethic that I have.  You taught me to love, to learn, and to constantly try to improve myself.  THANK YOU for everything you've done!

RTT: New Years Pics & Closure

It's Tuesday, which means it's time for Random Tuesday Thoughts AND that I have the day off tomorrow!

* I just realized I never posted my New Years pictures, so here they are!  :)

Josh and I before heading out.

Jillian and Zach (Our host)

Randall and Megan.

* Josh and I were supposed to go out with a group of friends on Saturday night, but they ALL bailed on us.  So we ended up going for dinner and watching a movie together.  It was still fun, but our friends are lame.

* On that same note, "T" the guy who has come in and out of my life on and off for the past three years was supposed to come Saturday, but he had a pretty good excuse... We're supposed to get together this week, but I haven't heard from him, so I don't know what will happen.  I hate dating.

* I almost quit my job Saturday...  I wouldn't have really, but I was SO burnt out after all the over time I'd been working, and my supervisor upset me, so I was ready to walk out.  Luckily, I don't have to work the Sundays I originally signed up for!  I'm really glad about that!

* I tried to talk to The Musician that one dude I dated at work yesterday.  Didn't work so well, but somehow it made me feel better and gave me closure.  Like I'm letting go of some of the negativity I was carrying around.  He ignored my question, but at least I know that somehow I tried to extend a little bit of a peace branch.  I don't need him to like me or be my friend, not after everything he did, but I do want to let go of stupid grudges and held-in anger.  It seems to be working, and I think I found more closure.

*That's all for today!  Run on over to Keely's and check out the other Random Tuesday Thoughts!

Dating Dealbreakers

This sounded fun, so I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon with Miss Candy this week, as she participates in Mommy Brain's All About MEme Monday.  They're talking about Dating Dealbreakers, and since I'm still stuck out there in the dating world I thought I'd play along!  I'm going to list my top 5, so I hope you enjoy!

Dealbreaker #1:  Flakey McFlakerson.  Guys who cancel all the time or stand you up-kick 'em to the curb!   I have had far too much experience with this, and I'm beyond tired of it.  Some of you who read my blog remember E (if not, go back a few months in my Archive, I wrote about him a lot last year) and how he probably stood me up eight out of ten times.  There was another guy who stood me up twice, The Musician Asshole did twice, and I wont put up with it anymore.  From now on, if you stand-me up once (or cancel too often without valid excuses) I'm moving on.  No way in hell am I being strung-along like that anymore.

Dealbreaker #2:  Mr. Clingy Emailer.  I belong to a few dating sites online, and get quite a few emails from guys on there.  Sometimes my life gets so incredibly hectic that I don't have time to respond right away, or I'm too exhausted when I get home to email back so I'll put it off for a day or two.  If I receive an email from a guy and then another one (or in some cases, several more) before I have a chance to respond, it sends up red flags.  I don't want someone incredibly clingy after I've been dating them for a while, so why would I want someone who is clingy before I even meet them?  Scary!

Dealbreaker #3: The "wut-up dawg" guy.  I will admit that I am a grammar nazi, but if a guy actually tries and misspells words or has typos, I can look past it.  However, if you email me and use the stupid (I don't even know if there's a proper term for it) spelling of words, in an effort to be cool, I will ignore you.  There have been times I've gotten entire emails written out like this: "Hey wut up guurrrrl, u r hawt an I wanna tak uz out cuz it cud be fun timez, iz a fun boi to chill with dawg.  Laterz."  Also, on this same note, you call me "dawg" or the like, I'm pretty much done at that point.

Dealbreaker #4: Mamma's Boy.  There's some give on this, but I've dated guys that lived at home still, and I can't do it.  It's awkward, and basically lame.  By this age, you should at least have moved forward in life enough to have a place of your own or at least some roommates.

Dealbreaker #5:  Closed Minds and Intollerance.  Racist?  Religious with no tolerance for other beliefs?  Pass on by buddy, I wont do it even in the least.  I wont even CONTEMPLATE doing it.  Better luck next time.

What the fuck was I thinking?

Love grows in me like a tumor

Parasite bent on devouring it's host

I'm developing my sense of humor

'till I can laugh at my heart between your teeth

'till I can laugh at my face beneath your feet

Skillet on the stove, it's such a temptation

Maybe I'll be the lucky one who doesn't get burnt

What the fuck was I thinking?

Love plows through me like a dozer

I've got more give than a bale of hay

and there's always a big mess left over

With what did you do and what did you say

What did you do and what did you say?

Skillet on the stove it's such a temptation

Maybe I'll be the lucky one who doesn't get burned

What the fuck was I thinking?

What the fuck was I thinking?

What the fuck was I thinking?

What the fuck was I thinking?

Love tears me up like demon

Opens the wounds and then fills them with lead

And I'm having some trouble just breathing

If we weren't such good friends I think that I'd hate you

If we weren't such good friends I'd wish you were dead

Skillet on the stove, it's such a temptation

Maybe I'll be the lucky one that doesn't get burnt

What the fuck was I thinking?

What the fuck was I thinking?

What the fuck was I thinking?

That is so embarassing

I'm this awkward and uncomfortable thing

I'm running out of places to hide it

I'm running out of places to hide it

What the fuck was I thinking?

What the fuck was I thinking?

What the fuck was I thinking?

What the fuck was I thinking?

What the fuck was I thinking - Jenny Owen Youngs

I missed Sunda Citar, so I thought I'd post some lyrics for Monday.  This is a song we heard on Weeds a couple weekends back (rewatching season 2) and so Josh hurried and looked it up, and we LOVED it.  Unfortunately, we related to it much too much, and that could be part of the reason we love it like we do, but it's a good song none the less.  I recommend you Youtube it or grab it off iTunes.  It's brilliant.

Recipe: Mini Fruit Pizzas

These were such a hit with my friends, so I thought I'd post the recipe!  If you make them, let me know how they turn out!  Enjoy!

    

Crust/Cookie: 

Recipe via Joy of Baking.  (Though I didn't follow their steps, just the ingredients.)

• 3 1/2 cups All Purpose Flour
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1 cup Unsalted Butter (at room temp)
• 1 1/2 cups Sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract

Mix the salt, flour, and baking powder in a bowl.  In another bowl blend butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs until well blended.  Then blend in the powdered ingredients until you have your dough.  Make little balls and use something (I used the bottom of a shot glass) to make an indent into the cookie.  Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes.  Let cool before topping.

Frosting:

Recipe via All Recipes.

• 8oz Cream Cheese
• 1/2 cup Sugar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla

Blend all ingredients well, and top your cookie with a spoonfull, spread thickly.

Add your choice of fruit to the top in any pattern you wish.  I chose sliced Strawberries, Mandarin Oranges, and a big Blackberry in the middle.  Serve, and watch your guests enjoy!

DA Showcase: A Day At The Zoo

It's been a few years since I spent much time on DeviantArt, but after going through and playing in it a bit the last few days, I remembered how much I love it.  I think I'm going to start posting things here on my blog in spotlight of my DA entries from the past.  Hopefully this will inspire me to post some new stuff there soon! 

So I'm going to showcase some of my work here in  my blog as well.  Today is a photo I call A Day at the Zoo.  I took it in 2006, and the little girl is my cousin Brianna.  At this time I was her nanny, and we were at the Wild Animal Park in San Diego, CA.  She'd just finished her ice cream.

Days Off & Dinner

Wednesday was my first day off in quite a while, and I made good use of it.  Instead of sleeping in super late, I woke up at about 8:30am and went and hung out with the roommate before he went to work, and then I spent some quality relaxing time watching a movie on the couch for a couple hours.  It also helped that I had a little Baileys in my coffee... Yum!  After, I promptly cleaned (and I mean deep-cleaned) the entire house.  I mopped floors with bleach, I vacuumed, and I even organized the Christmas decorations (that were piled in a corner of my room) and the unpacked boxes in my closet.  It's clean, and that makes me happy-even if it did eat up half of my day and just get dirty again after I cooked dinner.

Around four I ventured up to the hospital to visit my grandmother. Talk about a maze!  I got so lost, I had to leave the hospital to find cell phone reception, and call my dad to get directions.  She seems better, it's nice to see her starting to act a little more like herself.  She's starting to remember things and be able to carry on conversations without dozing off every few minutes.  I can't wait until she's able to go home!

That evening we had David & Kasey over for dinner, and I made homemade Pizza and Fruit Pizza Cookies for dessert!

Check it out!  I'm most proud of my dessert...

Now check out the pizza and it's cheesy goodness!

 

RTT: Spoken Like a True Alcoholic

*My Facebook status from last night:  "I gave up soda except for with alcohol, so when I saw that Sprite sitting there and wanted some, I made sure to add Vodka."

*Josh's response to that?  "Spoken like a true alcoholic"

*For the record, I'm not an alcoholic.  I drink like maybe once a month.  LOL

*Watching Cunty McCunterson massage the supervisors shoulders this morning, and I think I finally realized how she's made it so many years in this company without ever having to actually work or put forth effort.  I secretly suspect she was trying to read my computer while she was standing there with him.  Whatev.

*Speaking of work, I haven't had a day off since Wednesday, and I've been working so much overtime.  I am SO ready for a break, but at least I'll have a good paycheck.

*Saturday night I was entirely too content to come home and mope.  I changed into my PJs after work, and curled up on the couch to watch Grey's Anatomy.  However, my plans were quickly thwarted when Josh, Max and Zach walked in the door and said "We brought booze!"  God I love them.

*Also on Saturday night, after a few drinks I had the extreme need to hug Heather's baby.  So I texted her, and the next thing I know the three of them showed up at my house and I was promptly loving on Jaxson.  I have such great friends!

*Max came down Friday night, and is headed home this morning.  It was so awesome having him around, I don't get to see my Ogden friends enough anymore!

*I believe we're going dancing again this Saturday.  I can't wait!

*We found out that my grandmother didn't have a stroke after all, and that she should be back to normal as soon as the swelling goes down in a few weeks.  I'm going to go see her on Wednesday.

*It's snowing again today... I saw the sun for one brief moment yesterday and couldn't believe how happy it made me.  Can we say seasonal depression?  I can't wait for spring!

*Travis is messaging me again... We'll see how this plays out, but hey-he offered to fix my car.  That'll be nice!

"I Won't Know What to Say Except Fuck You"

think i'm going for a walk now
i feel a little unsteady

i don't want nobody to follow me

'cept maybe you

i could make you happy you know

if you weren't already

i could do a lot of things

and i do

tell you the truth i prefer

the worst of you

too bad you had to have a better half

she's not really my type

but i think you two are forever

and i hate to say it but

you're perfect together

so fuck you

and your untouchable face

and fuck you

for existing in the first place

and who am i

that i should be vying for your touch

and who am i

i bet you can't even tell me that much

two-thirty in the morning

and my gas tank will be empty soon

neon sign on the horizon

rubbing elbows with the moon

a safe haven of sleepless

where the deep fryer's always on

radio is counting down

the top 20 country songs

and out on the porch the fly strip is

waving like a flag in the wind

y'know, i don't look forward

to seeing you again soon

you'll look like a photograph of yourself

taken from far far away

and i won't know what to do

and i won't know what to say

 

except fuck you...

i see you and i'm so perplexed

what was i thinking?

what will i think of next

where can i hide

in the back room there's a lamp

that hangs over the pool table

and when the fan is on it swings

gently side to side

there's a changing constellation

of balls as we are playing

i see orion and say nothing

the only thing i can think of saying

is fuck you...

-Untouchable Face by Ani DiFranco

I have loved this song since I first heard it 5 years ago, and yesterday driving home from work it came across my iPod and found me singing along to it just like old times.  It's like I couldn't have said it better... Everytime I get angry I remember to get angry at myself, because I'm the one who lets people affect me so.  I was the one who didn't see through all of the lies and bullshit, and I'm the one that's left with fears. 

Discussing this with a friend the other night (whilst bawling and under the influence of some mighty-fine rum) I finally admitted to myself my fears out loud.  I'm afraid to trust someone again, and on some small part of me, afraid to sleep with a guy again because of what he did... Because he lied about the protection, because I could have been so much worse off than I am.  Mostly though, because he was so sly that I had absolutely no clue that everything he said was a lie, so how do I know that wont happen to me again?  How can I ever trust my own judgement again?

I don't know.  Honestly, I haven't figured anything out yet, and I'm mad at myself for it.

I’ve taken a day off from school just so I don’t go insane.

I’ve fainted.

I’ve had an argument with someone about whether cheerleading is a sport or not.

I’ve pushed someone into a pool.

I’ve been pushed into a pool.

I’ve been/am in love.

See?  A little mindless fun that kind of made me feel like I'm in High School again... Just for a second.  It was weird, and dumb, but oh well!

It also made me realize I haven't been ANYWHERE!  That really sucks, I'm so getting a passport in the next few months.  Then I'm GOING TO USE IT!
