Cruzin' for Christmas

So for two days in a row, I have been asked by some guy if I'm married. What's with the marriage question? I actually don't mind being asked that question. It's the follow up question that tends to tick me off....that question being, "why aren't you married?" Are you kidding me?!? Am I supposed to answer that question? My response is usually either "nobody wants or needs me" or "I'm just not special enough to most of the guys I met so far". I don't say it to be dramatic, it's just my way of shutting the conversation down. I truly do believe I will be married to a wonderful man who will respect, love, and protect me as I him. In the meantime, I keep moving forward.

For the last two weeks I've really been thinking about many things but in particular...Christmas is on my mind. I am really starting to enjoy going away for the holidays since staying in NY is totally boring to me since many are not around. The real challenge is figuring out where to go. I think if I do cruise I want to also be gone for New Years Eve/Day. I was telling my classmate about my plans and I said that for my 40th birthday I'll think of something really big to do. She said why wait for 40. She has a point! Just before the travel plan conversation we were talking about feeling tired and she said I'm young, why am I tired. I asked her how old does she think I am. I totally LOVE her response...she said 27 with a serious face. That compliment really made me feel good. That's like the third time in recent months that people thought I was in my 20s. Way cool. I do like the age I am now but what woman wouldn't take a younger looking age compliment. LOL. Since most of my major holidays, birthdays, and generally every day is spent alone for the most part, why not do something big for this birthday, etc.? I'm going to make a decision by the end of July and just book whatever it is. How fun.

Class was really good tonight although the information is really complicated. I have so much review/reading to do but I like the subject matter. Interesting learning how to explain something at its root and then teach it. For me, there's something really exciting and refreshing about learning new ideas and concepts. I wish I had unlimited funds to learn everything I want to learn. Hopefully I'll have a long and healthy life to be able to continue learning.

Well..I've been talking about Christmas but first one must get through the next holiday...4th of July. Of course nobody is having nothing. Ha ha. Oh well. I feel good so even if I'm home reading or sitting in the park I'll be fine. I've been feeling really powerful for a couple of weeks now. No real explanation other than I feel good in my skin and feel good about me. Maybe it's age and extra wisdom that have a calming effect for me. Who really knows. I'm just going to roll with it. My goal by next year this time is to move to Spain and start the next chapter of my life. OK. I'm rambling now...plenty of thoughts...limited time. LOL. More tomorrow. Goodnight Ang.

Rock the Warehouse

It's been forever since I last posted. So much has happened. Tonight is a quick post. It's late as always when I get the opportunity to post. Just got home not too long ago from The Food Bank NYC's "Rock the Warehouse". It's a volunteer appreciation event where we literally get to visit the warehouse where all the food ships out. Very cool. My friend Lori who also volunteers came also. I really had a great time and I even had the opportunity to rock like a lady after seeing the boy who broke my heart at the very same event! Small universe. They say that good and bad events travel in threes. He would be the third person from the past, who treated me badly, literally reached out to me in some way, shape, or form over the last three weeks. Why? Don't know. It's silly really. It's like being in some weird movie where I already know how the story is going to go before the other characters and I have to still act out the "assumed plot line" for their benefit. In this case the movie scene called for me being at the same event with the guy who broke my heart, stomped all over it, and then act like nothing happened. The funny thing is I felt good and went about my night not worrying about the situation. In the movies there is always drama. None to be had from me. I didn't just act the part of a lady. I am a lady...a good one with a kind heart. Funny thing was that every time I turned around...there he was...and his girlfriend. Yet he kept trying to do the small talk thing with me. Why would he want to know if I'm married? I'm sure after tonight he'll forget about me just as easily as he did two years ago. If we didn't run into each other at this event, he would not have thought about me for the next 60 years. He's already forgotten about me. LOL. God really does have a sense of humor...but I love God's humor. I've spent too many lines talking about him. He's not worth talking about (and neither are the other two people...girls by the way). Water under the bridge right? I hope they all continue to live their fabulous lives with great friendships within them.

Lor and I took this really cool picture together at the sweetbooths.com lounge. I'm going to put it up on my Happiness is Priceless wall of photos at work. I better get going. Busy day tomorrow
