Isn’t this the time we are supposed to ponder over the past year and marvel at how much we’ve grown n’ stuff? Bah. I’m happy to simply state that this past year has been pretty damn wonderful. As a matter of fact, I’d have to say that this past year was one of the best I’ve had in a very long time. Not alot of chaos, no heartache and I’ve created an easier life for myself. All in all, I think it’s been pretty good. Of course, it wasn’t without it’s little speed bumps. Like too many speeding tickets, one unreturned carpet steamer that nearly landed me in the slammer, almost - but not quite - being accused of stealing narcotics from where I used to work (I didn’t do it, I hate drugs lol), my neurotic months at my old job that lead me to a better place where I’m currently at. I think those are most of the low points.
My high points are easy ones. My developing relationship with C. - actually experiencing a relationship that isn’t hurtful and laden with mistrust and betrayals. It’s been a hard process, but I’m pretty damn happy here . . . after a long time of being in denial as to just how happy I really am. Denial, you say? Oh yes - if you knew my past with relationships, you too would’ve agreed with me that I was somehow cursed in the love department. By the time I met him- I was convinced that I just wasn’t meant to be happy, ever. He changed that - thank you *k* Another high point is my career. I finally have some breathing room and have found myself in a position that I really like. It allows me all sorts of freedoms - most importantly having more time for my kids and their teenage angst. Whoopee. lol
So, overall - it’s been pretty good. If I compared this year to 2001 or 2000 - I have to be amazed at the difference just a year or two makes - - because things are drastically different. Better-different. So that’s cool.
I’m writing my blog this morning because C. has already told me that when I get home from work this evening, he is not going to allow me to touch my computer. The kids are going to my folks house until tomorrow morning and we have New Year’s Eve to ourselves.

Happy VDay to you. I know its one of those commercialized holidays, but it does kinda make one feel special when they receive a special card from someone, or to know that you have been thought of.

True, Harley - that it does. I make light of VDay because, funnily enough - I have that ‘feel special’.. ‘being thought of’ feeling every day of the year. I don’t need one day a year for Hallmark to bring it home to me . . . much to the relief of the love of my life who isn’t required to remember to do special things on VDay. He does them all the time, the little bugger.
Yea, we don’t do Sweetest Day either.

Awww. *grabs tissue, wipes eyes* You just made me cry with your romantic heart. I KNEW I could count on you, Lisa. *big mushy kiss to your ear*
11:51 am on February 15th, 2005
Oh stop it - - I’m getting all misty over here!! *shares your tissue box*

I think what is great is how Valentine’s makes you stop and thing, when normally you might be so busy that you don’t show the love and affection or it just gets overlooked. This gives you a chance to truly express it.

Wow! That post was full of warm fuzzy feelings! Happy VDay!
12:34 am on February 16th, 2005
A day late & 25-cents short, but hey! I love you just as much today as I did yesterday!

RedFred, Lisa and I will share our tissue box with you.
(See Lisa, I *TOLD* you RedFred was a big soft-hearted goof.)

Best thing about Valentine’s Day is being able to abbreviate it as VD.
5:34 pm on February 16th, 2005
Freakin’ hilarious.
9:40 pm on February 17th, 2005
heh heh I dig your humor Lisa.

I posted the “Don’t Reproduce” V-day card on my site. I thought it applied to many many people. HAHA…
1:54 pm on February 18th, 2005

5:40 am on February 24th, 2005
lol, it’s ok if you don’t care, I didn’t care, namely for a certain reason, Valentines day is a mean day, coz all the loved ppl get to gloat at the lonely ppl
