Happy New Year!!

35

Hello, 2015!

Last night was a rather subdued one. I've never been big on New Years, not since I was in my earliest twenties anyway. I feel like it's one big disappointing amateur hour: too many people who drink too much who aren't seasoned drinkers like yours truly, paying too much to get into the same old bars you go to on the weekends, cheap...

Happy New Year, may this one bring all that you've wanted and more.

and that is why I did not bug you on your date. It felt like it was a special moment.

New Jersey bound!

I'm getting ready for my trip to New Jersey. I'll be driving over night, like I do every time I drive up there. When I tell people I drive over night they wince and remark on how brutal it must be. It's really not all that brutal. There's less traffic and the dogs and puppies tend to stay asleep. The more they sleep, the less...

I prefer to drive at night when I travel too.  If it's a real long drive...and I'm with others...I'll always volunteer to be the night driver.

@theatombomb, I think my bipolar really comes in handy when I have to drive at night. Go go gadget mania!

Certain things scare the shit out of me. Not having control of my heart is one of them.

But do any of us really have control over our hearts? If we did, then it wouldn't be what the heart wants, it would be what the person wants. The heart and the person who owns it aren't always in sync.

The last time I lost control...

@Iggy I now the feeling of the these walls. Let them down and never had them up again. Sometimes it would have been better if the were up, but in the end life is so much more beautiful without them. Yes you will feel pain now and then, but keep them down. Have a great 2015 and may all your dreams come true.  <3

These. I bought 'em.

Cause I'm a grown up

I probably should not have blown my last fifty PayPal dollars on these, but I couldn't help it. Plus, I keep money in PayPal for occasions such as these.

@cyranodb I had the original release of those sheets.  I wore them out.  Might still have the pillowcase kicking around somewheres.

Ever since that scary situation with my now ex-friend I've been doing a lot of thinking regarding my friendships, especially with men. I'm now more painfully aware that many of the people in my life who I call friends are simply out to get something from me. And that something is sex most of the time.

I feel like cutting more people from my life...

Glad you're happy.  Wish someone felt that way about me.

People who think that they are better than others :(  A simple rule, I am not better, I am just me and that gives me a lot of comfort. Good to hear that you are enjoying life. A heart of ice, for sure not. Look at the way you work with animals. I don't believe that. Have a great weekend!

My biggest pet peeves involve your pets

19

So, it seems like this weeks blog homework is a popular topic. I mean, who doesn't like getting on their soap box and talking about their pet peeves? Well, I am no exception, and after some thought I've decided that my biggest pet peeves involve pets.

Working in animal rescue, I see a lot of things that make me shake my head. These are the...

I agree with you totally on the toy dog bullshit. One thing that bugs me is kind of an equal rights thing, that is, can I come into your establishment with my 90-pound German Shepherd/Black Lab mutt? If not, I don't want to see a toy dog here. I've seen toy dogs on planes too, and all I can do is sympathize for anyone who has allergies.  On a side note, and I don't mean to offend anyone if they practice this, but I abhor it when people dress their dogs in sweaters... the animal invariably looks miserable. I also find it silly when people walk their cats on a leash... and people in the city who have "outdoor" cats, especially here in Canada... during the winter. It's so sad to see cats go sit under a recently parked car to catch some heat from the engine.

@iggy You are so right. A dog isn't a fashion object or something to compensate a thing with. Buy a car is you need that compensation.
