No More Sad Weekends

Weekends always depress me but you know what? I'm going to change that tide right now starting with this weekend! It's a great time to start since the weather will be on my side. Nothing like a whole lot of sunshine to make me a bit happier. I enjoy rainy days too (and my beautiful snow) but I'll give the sun its props too. LOL. I was invited to church service on Sunday and another friend is interested in coming out to visit me and hang out. I have a couple of new recipes I want to try out so if she visits she'll make a good tester. I'm sure she will enjoy whatever I make. I'm no chef but I know I can turn out some good eats (smile). I've come a long way considering that in my 20's I use to pay my dad to make dinner and do my laundry. In my defense I was working 12 hour days. You know you are working long hours when the company provided car service for you every night. Anywho...no matter what, I'm going to stop sheltering myself. I figure if I can spend all this time inside by myself, why not take it outdoors by myself too? Good watch all the spring couples, and then read a good book while taking in some rays. Didn't swiffer this week but who cares. While I'm not a neat freak I am no slob either. For what it's worth I live in a pretty cute space that I think anyone would find comfortable to visit (even as small as the space is). My next goal is to own a space of my own. I hope I am able to do that before I turn 40. It's important to me even more so since I'm on my own; takes away from all the other things that hurt my feeling to know that I one day will have a safe place to call home...my home...even if it's just two or three rooms someplace.

Quick news blurbs....I can't believe even the animals are getting fired. The Bronx Zoo is closing several exhibits including the House of Darkness. My goodness...craziness.

As for the so called Craigs List killer...why can't people believe that good looking, clean cut guys can't be murderers (in his case alleged murderer)? Thin, good looking people get away literally with murder because they don't fit the "profile" of what people perceive as danger. If people could just stop judging books by their covers all would be somewhat right in the land.

Susan Boyle...I knew it wouldn't be long before some stylist would change the very reason why her story was endearing to begin with. She was fine just the way she was but now she has become victim to be like "everybody else" by having a makeover. Perhaps those who felt the need to make her over should make over their minds. Too much conformity for me. I only conform to certain things because earning a living dictates that unfortunately but even with that I have my limits...clearly since folks keep exercising their limited authority to get rid of me.

I have to go. Off to grocery shop tomorrow and then whatever the rest of the weekend brings. Oh..before I forget, I may have landed a six month freelance position with a major national nonprofit. Probably won't generate much money but the tradeoff is that it's another skill set that I can craft and at the end list on my resume while making more contacts at the same time. Plus it keeps me busy. Will dish more when I know more. Later.
