So... I have been thinking. Yes, me thinking before I speak. And I need some help from my 3 readers!
We all know one..... the one upper, you know the guy that says "Oh you have a horse, I have three plus 8 barns!" or the "I am just too darn good looking for my own good, but dont get jealous of me!" How about, the guy that you are looking for a little sympathy from, you know, "So I had a bad day, work just sucked an.." (they interrupt with their sob story) "oh let me tell you what happened to me today" (now that they took a breath, you finish saying what you started) "d... oooohhhhh, you had a bad day, what happened to you today"
So like, how do you deal with them?
I am generally pretty good at dealing with these three types of people. But really... you arent any better than me....
Know what I mean? So really... do I hurt their feelings and bring them back to reality, or do I continue to let them speak as if the world revolves around them?!

Finally!
Since December, I have worn sweatpants. Me.in public.wearing sweatpants!
I have put on 20 pounds since we have been here. Nothing fit.
I figured, since I am working, I could go out and raise the self esteem a little and buy me a pair of pants, or 4 that fit! Lil retail therapy!
I think I just gave up on the fact that losing weight is just not gonna happen. I have come to terms that being 5'10 and 170 pounds is healthy. I just need to learn to love me like I did before. The spring is here, and summer is coming which only means, we will be out and about more often now! I am working, so I am moving around more.
I am who I am.... thats all I can say bout that!

If this isn't the truth!!
I received the below through email today. It is so true that I decided to post it here. Props to the person who wrote this!
If you are 30, or older, you might think this is hilarious!
When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious
diatribes about how hard things were. When they were growing up; what with
walking twenty-five miles to school every morning.... Uphill...
Barefoot.... BOTH ways… yadda, yadda, yadda.
And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in
hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on my kids about how
hard I had it and how easy they've got it!
But now that I'm over the ripe old age of thirty, I can't help but look
around and notice the youth of today. You've got it so easy! I mean,
compared to my childhood, you live in a damn Utopia!
And I hate to say it, but you kids today, you don't know how good you've
got it!
I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have the Internet. If we wanted to
know something, we had to go to the damn library and look it up ourselves,
in the card catalog!!
There was no email!! We had to actually write somebody a letter - with a
pen! Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in
the mailbox, and it would take like a week to get there! Stamps were 10
cents!
Child Protective Services didn't care if our parents beat us. As a matter
of fact, the parents of all my friends also had permission to kick our
ass! Nowhere was safe!
There were no MP3's or Napsters or iTunes! If you wanted to steal music,
you had to hitchhike to the record store and shoplift it yourself!
Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio, and the DJ
would usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up! There were no
CD players! We had tape decks in our car. We'd play our favorite tape and
"eject" it when finished, and then the tape would come undone rendering it
useless. Cause, hey, that's how we rolled, Baby! Dig?
We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone and
somebody else called, they got a busy signal, that's it!
There weren't any freakin' cell phones either. If you left the house, you
just didn't make a damn call or receive one. You actually had to be out of
touch with your "friends." OH MY GOD !!! Think of the horror... not being
in touch with someone 24/7!!! And then there's TEXTING. Yeah, right.
Please! You kids have no idea how annoying you are.
And we didn't have fancy Caller ID either! When the phone rang, you had no
idea who it was! It could be your school, your parents, your boss, your
bookie, your drug dealer, the collection agent... you just didn't know!!!
You had to pick it up and take your chances, mister!
We didn't have any fancy PlayStation or Xbox video games with
high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like
'Space Invaders' and 'Asteroids'. Your screen guy was a little square!
You actually had to use your imagination!!! And there were no multiple
levels or screens, it was just one screen... Forever! And you could never
win. The game just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster
until you died! Just like LIFE!
You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on!
You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off your
ass and walk over to the TV to change the channel!!! NO REMOTES!!! Oh,
no, what's the world coming to?!?!
There was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on
Saturday Morning. Do you hear what I'm saying? We had to wait ALL WEEK
for cartoons, you spoiled little rat-finks!
And not many of us had microwaves. If we wanted to heat something up, we
had to use the stove! Imagine that!
And our parents told us to stay outside and play... all day long. Oh, no,
no electronics to soothe and comfort. And if you came back inside... you
were doing chores!
And car seats and seat belts - oh, please! Mom threw you in the back
seat and you hung on. If you were lucky, you got the "safety arm" across
the chest at the last moment if she had to stop suddenly, and if your head
hit the dashboard, well that was your fault for calling "shot gun" in the
first place!
See! That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it
too easy. You're spoiled rotten! You guys wouldn't have lasted five
minutes back in 1980 or any time before!

Has it been that long?!
Has it really been over a month since I last signed in?
It was a busy month for me.
I had a BFF come out (my first friend) to come out and visit us out here. She stayed a week. We had a great time.
My parentals came the weekend after she left. They rolled their truck in Raton Pass as they made their way out. The truck was totaled. And after rolling 3 times, they walked away with a few bruises. I am thankful for that! They are amazing. Brushed themselves off, got a rental car and proceeded to come out here for their visit. Needless to say, it was a busy 2 weeks with them. I took dad to a couple dealerships and he left here with a new truck. Decided on the 2010 Toyota Tundra. That thing is a beast! They did make home to NM safely with no issues.
I got a job. Whoopie. Dont need this job, just working to get out of the house and have a few extra spending dollars.
I dont care about my weight anymore. I am what I am. Not gonna struggle to loose weight and be unhappy in the process. I just make healthy decisions and am happy with that.
hmmm.... nothing else to report here.
