boundaries

these are far easier spoken and read about than implemented. i've had many opportunities lately to try and prove myself. i continue to struggle. that's always a good sign though. again, i'm reminded: be careful what you wish for. seek to change and you'll get the chance to make the change. this has been proven over and over again.

i've been mostly pissy. the raging storm PMS hit kind of hard this month. add that to the general anxiety and stress of making a move during hard economic times and it's been a recipe for disaster. i'm recovering a bit with the help of carbs, comfort food and talk radio. i'm dying for some brownies but i'm countering that with joy i get seeing the scale's movement south. lost another 3 this past week. i'm almost 'moving to new york' weight. that was a good place.

the prom was too much fun. meeting all of my sister and husband's co-workers was such a good time. i haven't 'been out' like that in a long time. the state of youth today continues to depress me though. there were about three pregnant girls electric sliding right next to me. many, in fact, far too many, hit the dance floor in slippers. slippers, y'all. then there was my absolute favorite of the night. twin sisters. they had their hair all nice and coiffed. they had matching pink dresses - not too scandalous. then you see below the knee. EACH ONE WAS WEARING ONE ATHLETIC SOCK ON ONE FOOT (NO SHOE) AND A PINK HIGH HEELED SHOE ON THE OTHER FOOT. and of course, they had this look going on opposing legs. foolishness.

i've worn a skirt to work today and you'd think my co-workers just discovered i have legs. nope, i've just been vaporizing in and out of my office.

jc and i had a great night last night. we went to our local Borders. they have a great concrete slab of a deck that they have a lot of little chairs and table set out on. it looks towards downtown atlanta and with all the green it was a superb view. we're both freaky, raw nerves and we haven't had a chance to really talk to each other in the last two weeks. i calculated that we get 3 1/2 waking hours on weekdays and the weekend. so it was nice to make the most of last night. we talked our stuff out and were back on the same page.

i didn't get to a movie but i did get to a diner. the food was 'eh' but it was a nice time out with jc, my sister and niece. i honestly can't stand my niece around my mom anymore. the dysfunction is epic.

i suppose i should do some work although knowing i have a mere three weeks is not very motivating.
