Happy days are here again

So I've been doing a lot of thinking lately.  I've been sick for almost 4 weeks now, with a break here and there, and ya know what?  I'm tired of it!  I have decided to ignore the fact that I can't stay completely healthy.  I have decided there's nothing I can do about it because I'm pretty sure it's mostly allergy related.  I woke up this morning, and except for a nagging cough, I felt fine.  I went to work.  Did more work than I've done in weeks.  My day went by quickly and I didn't even mind being there.  I even worked a half hour late!  

Could this be the turnaround I need?  I'm thinking it might be :)  

I'm done

So I know that I've said before that I'm through, never again...but this weekend sealed the deal.  I can't keep giving and giving just to be there for him when he wants.  Why should he try when I do for both of us.  It takes a toll on you eventually.  I've done everything I could think of over the last 3 1/2 years to make him happy, and what have I gotten in return?  Nothing.  It's partly my fault for putting up with it, so I think I'm just not going to anymore.  He has 1 year to prove to me that he wants more than just a buddy out of our relationship.  If after that time is up, I'm just gonna be packin up shop and heading down to sunny Florida.  Why should I be single and lonely in 70 degree rainy weather in June, when I could be sitting in the sunny 90 degree weather of a much more relaxed atmosphere?  If I'm going to be single and lonely, I might as well enjoy the weather!

Busy busy weekend...

I haven't had a whole lot of time to myself this weekend, which is both good and bad.  Chris came over Friday night and we ate as healthy as we usually do when we're together (as in, not healthy at all), and we watched a couple movies.  It was nice because it was relaxing and good to see him since it had been a couple weeks.  

Saturday I finally got my fish and chips that I had been craving for lunch for a few days and at 4 attended Michael and Kelly's wedding.  We had a great time.  They had a nice intimate ceremony of about 30 people on the beach at Lake Pine in Medford, followed up by dinner at Tarantello's. We finished the night off with a reception at Susan and Adam's house.  It was simply a fun time.

Then finally today was Gina's bridal shower.  Food, food and did I mention, more food?  Now it's time to relax and head over to Rochelle's for the season premier of True Blood :)  

RIP PopPop Charlie

Sadly, my second blog isn't as uplifting as my post from yesterday. My Grandpop Charlie passed away last night in the hospital from a heart attack. I don't want to sounds uncaring, but it was kind of a long time coming. He hadn't been in very good health over the last few years. I'm more worried for my Grandmom who we're all afraid has the beginnings of dimensia. With Charlie's death though, my Uncle Dave will be moving in with my Grandmom. It's good for both of them. Grandmom still gets around okay, not great, but okay, and Uncle Dave is an eternal bachelor.

Anyway, the service and buriel are Monday. It will be sad because for the last 23 years of my life he's been there, and anytime you lose a family member you lose a little bit of yourself. We were never super close, and I know he hadn't been well for quite some time, but he will be missed.

Finally

So I started this blog up, ummmm like 10 months ago.  I figured it was time to perhaps actually right something.  A lot has happened over the past few months.  The Phillies won a World Series (something I really hoped but I didn't think I'd ever get to see), my nephew turned 1, and I'm going to get through an entire year without having been in a wedding.  I know that might seem a little ridiculous to get excited over for most people, but I am the queen of being in them.  7 times now...that's right, 7 dresses with matching shoes.  Every girl needs them!

Anyway, I recently went on a long weekend vacation with my on again/off again (I'm not sure what to call him) to Orlando.  It was an early 30th birthday surprise for him and we had a great time!  He was way too excited to go on the Jaws ride at Universal, but since it was his first trip ever, I didn't want to make too much fun.  We lucked out though, because even though we picked perhaps the rainiest weekend in May in Florida in years, we only got down poured on once.  And we got so drenched that we just walked around in the rain.

So, now that I've finally posted a blog, hopefully I'll keep posting a little more often!
