Bad News

Just found out that Sireina has given a two week notice. That sucks! I am very sad! I will miss her so much! She is so emotional right now, I wish she would stay, but for more money, what can you do but go.

I just got sang to by my co-workers and it was AWESOME! I got a beautiful new black purse with lots of pockets and jewelry!

Tomorrow is the big day, I will be 37! Besides this side step, I will have a most marvellous time, I am sure! I've decided not to take the membership and rather take the clothes offered. Possibly some shoes too, M&F is having the huge shoe sale from today forward throughout Sunday. I'll see if I can drag TJ with me tomorrow, depending on how much I get for my birthday to spend. I think he's planning on taking me to M&F for clothes rather than Ross, either is just fine though. My mom I think is getting me a new rug for my bathroom set. That would be awesome too! Will let you know........

Hey

It was brough to my attention that I have not blogged in a while, so here I am. Things are going very well still. Must be a record for me or something. Work is great, husband is awesome, and it's almost Friday. I think he is cooking a big, fat juicy steak with stroghanoff noodles for dinner.

I am reading two books at the moment. One is from Dr. Laura (outstanding book I might add) and the other is Michael Crighton Time Traveler. Very interesting book as well. Two different books, but is bringing me to a lot of different conclusions.

1. I need to keep my attitude in check.
2. I need to make a conscious effort in behalf of my attitude.
3. I need to treat people with more respect and understanding.

All of which are obtainable with conscious effort. Pretty soon, it will be second nature and it will also flow more easy and be a better example to my daughter.

We went on a walk last night around the block. It's a long block, but one of my favorites. It reminds me of Anny (our dog) and also it's up hill and a long block. She made it three times without complaining once, and didn't want to come in when it was time. She wants to walk again tonight and I'm excited that weather is permitting this.

My birthday is next week and TJ asked me what I wanted. I told him that what ever he gets me is truly fine with me and I'm sure I will love it. But he wants to know what I want. Well, for 3 years, I have been asking for a membership, and I am going to get it this year! He suggested that I check at Bally's and LA Fitness, both of which are just down the street from us, and compare and pick one. I'm going to see about getting passes for both, try it out and make a decision. May I just say that with respect, some kindness and making my man feel like a man has truly got amazing results and I highly reccomend it to anyone. We are also going to lunch together and I'm really looking forward to that. He got Taty and I matching earrings yesterday. They match too, except for the color. They are beautiful too, and we both really love them! I also got a new necklace that is silver and beautiful. None of that was for my birthday.

Things are going well

Thanks for the comment Jen, I appreciate your concern. That is very sweet. You have such a full plate, that really means a lot to me that you checked on me. I never expected you read our blogs. Just that we (Teresa) are your number one fans! I suppose Eric would beg to differ!

I've just been playing it quiet and cool for a while. Trying to regroup myself after making a few mistakes with people I work with, and what I did wasn't very cool... The Jennifer I wrote it to is no longer here, and I never got to make peace with her. It bothers me, but all I can do is hope she has read my blog and accepts my sincere apology. The good thing is that I've learned and am trying not to make the same mistakes to any one else. To keep myself in the best possible light, I need to keep my mouth shut more often than not. Easier said than done I suppose...or for me anyway.


We went to the circus yesterday. Had a blast. It was good but not nearly as good as some that we have seen. It was very busy, almost to much to see all at the same time. Saturday, we went to Blue Lake Park and had a blast. It rained a tad, but nothing serious or for very long. I played Bingo and on the second go around I won. Had to split it with someone else, so it was $10 instead of $20, but at .25 a board, I made a killing! The last pot was for $350 plus quarters so another $10 or 15 but I didn't win that one. It was black out and took a while to play. We had awesome food, just a wonderful experience. We went on the paddle boats for the first time. I was cranky about that because there was no instruction or help with it at all. I was irritated not knowing what I was doing, but soon figured it out. We were there for a friend's picnic from the Union.

I bought a new outfit today. It's red. I can't wait to wear it tomorrow. I do have another white outfit, but Karen is giving me shit for wearing it because I can't wear white until after Easter she says. Shoes included. Well, I got Laurel's permission to wear white as long as weather permits...So, I'm going to wear this white outfit (blouse and skirt) with my black shoes! TJ insists that I'm doing it just to irritate Karen. Maybe?.....If she could afford to buy my wardrobe, then I would be more than happy to abide by her standards of "dress code". I'm not that rich, so I find no harm done in it. I am poking fun at her by wearing it, but I enjoy it!

Parting in such Sweet Sorrow....

I just was handed to me the nicest letter typed and hand written from our departed Jennifer, and it truly touched me, deeply. What a wonderful person that I hope I get to see at the Base Ball Game come this Saturday evening. I will miss you Jennifer....

I tried for three days to go in and talk with her, just to make sure the air was clear. Maybe I didn't try hard enough, because by the end of the day yesterday, my time had come and gone, and I had to go. It is my fault for not taking care of any issues previously. It would have been the right thing for me to do. I made Jennifer at one point feel uncomfortable and embarrassed because of my rudeness and again I am truly sorry. The good thing is that from this experience, I have learned to watch myself in my delivery towards people, to think outside the box and be more aware of how I effect people in every aspect of my life. For this, I thank her.

I have learned not to put things off thinking and hoping they will just go away and all will be well. That is not the way life works. You only get a first chance to make a good impression and to thy own self be true. Now the opportunity to make it good is gone because I chose to ignore the situation. Even though I thought it didn't bother me at first, it bothered someone else by my actions, and that still should have been addressed before it got too far out of hand. Other people's feelings need to be taken into consideration besides just myself.

I love the chocolate that I received today with the most lovely note that I read to my husband as I was opening it. Almost brought tears to my eyes to think that in some way, I hope she forgives me, and is big enough to look outside the box. I can so learn from this lovely human being, and really truly appreciate the patience she took with me over the course of our relationship. This will impact my brain for the rest of my life. To answer several inquiries in her blog, not to mention the emails that were circulated, I got the message, and I have learned! There is hope, don't ever give up on me!

I have had some major issues going on that my plate is just overflowing. I have gotten a grip on myself now. TJ was in a car accident on last Saturday AGAIN! He has been in pain, his brother has made himself present in our life again after almost 8 years. It's been a wild zoo I tell you. Start week has been insane as if it were a regular term start, not mid-term start. Neither here, nor there, I should not have been rude to more than just one person here. Thank God I work with the best people and they keep hanging in there with me. I am truly blessed to work and have worked with the best people!
