Is It Not Friday?Follow

I think it is.

Who has the most exciting weekend planned?

I'm going down to our 'big' city tomorrow to hook up with some peeps for a birthday dinner at the Irish place. This is my only planned plan.

It's been cold. The snow is not melting. That means a walk in the woods will still be on snow shoes.

I'm still looking for a dress for a wedding. The time grows nearer but I don't wanna go shop for one. But maybe I'll do a bit of that when I go downtown tomorrow.

I'm still deciding about purchasing and playing Rift. I was all set on jumping on board this weekend. But then I started having a boatload of fun with Warhammer again. I'm so indecisive. It's easier to just not contemplate decisions - specially concerning games.

Well, I may or may not be picking up a puppy tomorrow. I'm driving out to look at a few, and I'm hoping I'll get to bring one home with me, but we'll see.

I imagine the rest of the weekend will be spent cuddling and playing with a puppy. And cleaning up ****.

It's the Friday before Spring Break for the University... but of course I need to work all next week >_< No friends or girlfriend around, so more relaxing time for me!

Yea! It's actually a Friday for me! I get Saturday and Sunday off! This happens once ever 6-7 weeks on my 4-2 schedule.

I'm sorry, Eske. I hope tomorrow goes ok for you.

That's kind of you to say.

There's not much to say about it to folks who aren't close to the situation. The issue is with my mother, whom I've never really gotten along with. She's got a very combative personality, to say the least. The sad thing is that it's a package deal: though I love my dad, he's stubbornly loyal to her, so unfortunately I won't be seeing him anymore either.

It'll be ok though. Truth be told, this was a long, long time coming. I know it's for the best, and I do think that we'll all be happier for it in the end. I've got mixed emotions right now, and I'm still in a bit of shock. But there's a nice, free feeling there too.

Playing some guitar, playing some Rift, working out on my new elliptical machine, walking the beasties, and some typical weekend errands. Elinda - I loved Warhammer - it had such huge potential - love that world (read a ton of the novels). I'm really having a blast in Rift and I think you will be mightily impressed.

Eske - I can't begin to understand your situation but I, too, have had a combative mother (i.e., slightly loony) over the years. Thankfully, over time, she has mellowed out (she's in her early 70s now) and things have been better between us. It helps that we live on opposite sides of the country. Nothing has to ever be set in stone or be so final. At a certain point, it doesn't matter who is wrong or who is right - forgiveness, understanding, and acceptance can go a long way to beat out a lifetime of possible regret with that relationship (or the collateral damage to the relationship with your father). Possibly something to consider down the road. Whether that can apply to your situation or not at this time or ever I don't know - it never hurts to take a break from people to sort things out. I wish you all the best and hope that things work out for you either way.

I've got to start packing stuff up in preparation for a move in the near future. And cleaning up the house as I go.

Puppy!!!!

Sounds a little bit like my MIL. My husband finally told cut all ties to her about a year ago. But the difference here is *she's* the one that tries to come back around. I was really proud of him for standing his ground the last time she tried to contact him. This woman is crazy as a loon and she was taking my husband down with her.
