Relationships III

Things come in 3's, the word is. So it's 3 posts on relationships--for now.

I've slept on and thought of my emotions from yesterday. Pretty dag gum deep for me. I didn't share with anyone, even my BFF, what I felt yesterday--until today. Then I didn't go into a lot of detail, just more the hi-lights of it.

Why? Because she's lady, we'll call her Dunne, who has uplifted me about my small business ideas, from selling' pies to cat lovers things. We hadn't chatted lately until now. I told about the 'Dream Big" my pastor Rickie Rush preached and how I thought of her of her Big Dream. You see, Dunne has a picture of her dream house (more like a mansion)on her cubical wall. She told me God has it all worked out and coulda been waiting for her to take a step. We both said you have to speak what you want to will it. If you just have a thought--it's just that--a thought. Words make it so.

I told Dunne how you never know where angels are going to be. Dunne said how MLG was an angel to show me anything is possible--it's not too late to do your passions. OK, I'm giving you just hi-lights, however the chat with Dunne was free and easy, even tho we met in April, and hadn't spoken since June. We laughed like we would over coffee at Starbucks, except we stood by the sinks in the women's restroom, at our jobs.

I remember when my My Sweet Big Daddy Don passed away in 2001, I felt so lonely. Both of my parents were now gone and I was an adult orphan. Loneliness consumed. Sure, I knew people, but the weekends were the darkest days of my week even the sun's beams blinded. I'd sit on my couch and realize the 'friends' I had were no even close to being there for me as I was for them. I cried alot.

I wasn't much into in my Spiritual Walk in 2001 (the beginning was still two years away) yet I asked God would there ever be a day I'd have good friends. Friends that I could count on. Friends who "get me" and we would laugh at the same thing with just once glance at each other.

The chat with Dunne showed me relationships are not 'one size fits' all. .

The day I cried for is here.

Thank God.

I am blessed.

Quilt Bee Me....NOT!

However my chum, Another Aries IS! We did lunch today to girl gab and laugh, especially while we realized our reading glasses didn't help us see the the menu any better! One of our many topics was Another Aries passion for quilting.

I don't get it.

Told my chum how I picture her being in the 1800's with the butter churn near by. She'd be quilting up a blanket as her young'un's rounded up cows to milk--for the butter churn. After we laughed, Another Aries explained how a machine does a majority of the work, and it's all about strips of fabric. Another Aries went on to explain the projects she's working on and plans to work on. How she wouldn't mind quilting up some mats and blankees for cats. Now, THAT perked me up. My cats always need a new item. Alas-

I still don't get the quilt thing. Memories of not so good 7th grade Home Ec grades floated back to me over my pasta lunch. Unleashing my creativity ain't about to happen in quilting either. Although, Another Aries and I spoke of being entrepreneurs. Her with her quilt wares and me with mine--which of course, is everything feline.

But ya know, it doesn't matter if I don't get quilting or not. Another Aries does. Even started a blog about her love for quilting along with other blog about life as a Proud Tejana. I suggested she post more stuff on her quilt blog since there are others who share the same passion (unlike me).

So to wrap this all up, I decided that every now and then, I'll just ask Another Aries if my cats' quilt blankee is done! They'll love it and so will I! :)

Oh, and I didn't down ALL my 74 ounces of water down today...almost...but not all...

It is...

Finally Friday!

Got out of work early (a BIG thumbs up on that!) We all had to skip lunch to be able to leave early. So needless to say I was starved when I exited. Wound up doing lunch with a chum, who just moved back to Dallas. Upon return to Dallas, she actually worked at the same place I did.

After 10 days my chum quit.

It was the right decision. Anyway, we chatted for about 3 hours. Long overdue. And alot of fun. When I left work, I'd pondered going to a movie--but heck, you can always do that. So to lunch I went. Made me realize I'd missed our get togethers, plus time has flown. Her daughter just turned 20.

* sigh*

So, on this Friday after the yummy burger I munched and dee-lish onions--which I gotta admit weren't at the best burger place in Dallas: Burger Island-and quite tasty on the tummy--gotta go tread and bike.

The scale didn't scream as much this morning. I can tell some inches have slid on off. Gotta like that.

If you will excuse me, gotta get the tennyrunners on and go do my thing.
