So I get these daily horoscope things sent to my phone every morning...
[Don't you judge me you lousy judger!!!!]
And today's horoscope said:
"You'll have a good day of reaching out and touching. Your ability to connect is a great way to launch something excitingly new"
It could just be that this was sent to me as a text at 730am when I was still bleary eyed from sleep and my brain wasn't up to it's usual super speed...but I read it as somewhat pervy. I mean c'mon! REACHING OUT and TOUCHING???
Now for the really funny part. I got home early from work today because we had a training meeting. The subject? Workplace ethics and sexual harassment!
Hehehe. Need I say more?

The things that annoy me and why...PT 1
My mother and grandmother are great cooks. Awesome cooks! But I am annoyed that when I ask them to teach me, phrases like these keep turning up:
"and just let it sit there till it looks done"
"turn up the heat till it feels hot enough"
or my personal favorite "just add [insert spice or ingredient here] as much as it needs but not too much".
=/
I would think that if I had the ingrained ability to telepathically tell how much spice a dish needs or how long to "let it sit there till its done" that I wouldn't need cooking lessons right?
Bah!

JUMP start....
See you all on the other side to a fitter, tighter, more toned me in just (180) minutes a day! Gone are the saggy butts, flabby tummy, and unflatteringly non-chiseled jaw chub.
I am pumped! I am stoked!! I am PSYCHED!!!
I am embarking on a 7 week regiment of healthy eating and working out. I am only 10 pounds and 2 dress sizes away from my goal. I WILL run 3 miles a day with no complaint! (Run wussy run!!!! There is no walking here!!!! ) I will push-up, sit-up, and power pilates my way to a better me! I WILL reach my goal weight by the time the 7 weeks are done because I have the potential and the willpower to see it thru. I am getting a jump start on what is probably the most common and yet least realized New Years Resolution. I am going on overdrive people!!! And nothing will stand in my way!
Yep yep...I am on the verge of a new healthier lifestyle that will start IMMEDIATELY!!!
...
Right after this cookie...
...
And maybe this one too...

The 6 stages???
...hmmm. Maybe this is what's been going wrong in all my relationships! I didn't follow the stages and instead was skipping around willy-nilly with no regard for the proper succession! And me being the good researcher/science geek and all...
Follow the steps, E. Follow the STEPS!! That's the ticket!
The 6 Stages of a Relationship:
1) Spend the night
2) Spend the weekend
3) Exchange keys
4) Sexy weekend getaway
5) Extended vacation
6) Live together.
----------
Update: No people, I did NOT make this list up. I was watching an episode of Bones and one of the characters made this up. It was just late enough at night, and I was just tired enough to think it was amusing and so decided to share it with you folks. 'tis all!

From the Heart...
I have this friend who called me late a few nights ago because he was very upset. Let's face it, who else is awake at 0230 right? Anyway, we talked and I listened and gave great advice like I always do.
I won't bore you with the details but I got to thinking about how I really should start following my own advice. I've been trying to detach myself from someone because I was uncomfortable with the thought that this person is seeing/sleeping with/dating/lunching other girls and I figured instead of trying to pretend to be all cool with it and pretending that we were back to being "just friends" again that I'd just avoid him all together. I didn't want to be the girl who can't take a hint and can't leave him alone. It made sense at the time but it sounds stupid now on paper. I got really...upset...and weirded out when I heard about his current girl-friend. Hard as I tried to ignore it and be mature, I got super SUPER jealous and insecure, I won't lie.
Then I realized, you know what? I've been dating too and if he was ok with it, why shouldn't I be? It's not that he was ok with me dating because he meant more to me than I did to him...there's no way for me to know that. But what I do know is people handle situations differently. He needs to have connections just as much as the next person, and he wants to be happy as much as I do. Exactly what accomplishes that goal, however is different for each of us. And I wanted...want...him to be happy. I figured if I stopped tiptoeing around the issue and accept it then I'd be much more content...and I am! Besides I'm still damn glad "He and I" happened despite how it ended.
I guess I just had to resign myself and accept that it's human nature to want things we either can't have or want things back that we once had. You know what I mean? I wanted what we used to be but once I told myself even if we got back together that it wouldn't be the same then I guess I became ok with the situation as it stands. And there's no going back to being friends like we used to be before "we" happened. We just need to find a new category that we both fit into with each other and that will take time. I don't mind, I've got time I'm willing to invest :) All I can do is support him as much as I can and wish him luck that whoever he is with (or will be with) will be better for him than I was, and to let him know how much I still love and miss him always.
I want what is best for the both of us, whether it be each other or someone else or no one else at the moment.

Straight from the [proverbial] horses mouth...
Some random, yet poignant things I heard today...
~from the Delilah show on the radio...as I drove home from work:
"Love is a gift. No matter how true or how faithful or how wonderful the love is you give to someone, if they have their hands full with other baggages, then they just aren't able to receive it. It doesn't make your love any less wonderful. It just means that the other person must sort thru all the other stuff going on in their lives before they are able to accept the love you give them. But don't let that stop you from trying to give it anyway. All you can do is pray for that person that someday soon they will open their eyes and be in a position where they are able to welcome you into their lives" -- Delilah
~from last night's episode of Bones...as I watched it online a few hours ago:
"Look, this tension between us? I hate it! I mean I know that we broke up and everything but I've experienced loss before and lived thru it and you have too. And I'm not gonna pretend that this didn't happen because it might be easier to break up that way. I'm gonna re-live us...so I'm not gonna hide anymore and I'm not gonna walk on eggshells. I'm just gonna accept that this whole damn mess happened and pain or not, I'm glad it did." -- Angela from 'Bones: The Crank in the Shaft'
