Okay, here I am again, adding on to the previous post. Dinner was a wonderful success and we also made brownies that were "Oh so Yummy!". Now for everyone who commented, THANK YOU!!! However, I do not get to do this all of the time. It is somewhat a rare occasion for us. But it was wonderful to be able to do this for me and my kid. JD came home from work early and he joined us for dinner. It truly was a special night. I am sitting here at the computer with the love handles hangin' out with the droopy eyelids, typing away at this post. hehe. I do need to lose some weight though. Really, I just need to get more exercise.
So, I have been reading up on everyone's blog and I have also linked up with some newbies. The meloncutter, Penelope Marzec, and skqbdoo. I can't wait to dive into their new-to-me blogs and read up on the lives of three newbies.
skqbdoo- Don't feel guilty about what you are feeding the kids. I can't begin to tell you how many nights I have done the Taco Bell (soft tacos, meat and cheese only), Burger King (double cheeseburger, meat and cheese only), or Sonic (sausage toaster sandwiches with tater tots) kind of night. That is how picky my kid is.
Becky- As always, thanks for your comments and being here to read when I need someone. It really means a lot.
Andrew- Dearest Andrew, your words mean so much to me. I would love to come to Alabama if you are serious. Wouldn't it be so cool if all of our online friends could join us for a blogging family reunion? We could cook for everyone. OMG, that would be so much fun!!! With my "foodie" experience and your homestyle cookin', we would be an unbeatable pair. Are you down? Let's get together about it in the spring.
Well, I am going to turn in. I have a big day at work tomorrow and I am sure it is going to be a late night for me. I hope you all have a fantastic day tomorrow and that all is right with you and those you love. Good night.

I actually took another day off today. I was able to get DB to the dentist, go to breakfast with JD, send an email to the "he just left" guy, and start a wonderful dinner that I am going to enjoy with my kid. We are having barbecue chicken, garlic mashed potatoes, candied carrots, and homemade sweet rolls. All made by me. Oh, how I love to cook. It brings back such good memories. I wish I could cook every day. It's fun to know that people anticipate your cooking. My kid keeps asking me, "Is it ready yet, Mom?". It makes you feel good. Well, I am between cooking and watching an episode of Rachel Ray's 30 minute meals. I will be back after dinner and evening studying. yum yum

Little Bits Here, Little Bits There
Our benefits at work are changing once again. It's quite confusing really. I wish I could just have someone take care of all that stuff for me. You know, paying the bills, putting any necessary paperwork together, the tedious bookwork side of life. I dislike it and I really don't have the time. I know, I know. If I have time to post on my blog, I have time to take care of the "paperwork". But I hate it!
I am watching the bachelor, only because I find it comical that all of those women really think that they have a chance. Even the final woman probably won't end up with this guy. He's a prince you know. A long lost prince. hehe. He is sort of cute, in that homely sort of way.
On to better looking things. I have really taken the daily renewal seriously. I start off each and every day knowing that it is a fresh start. I try to make each day a little brighter for someone else, which makes me feel so much better about myself. I have so much to be thankful for and I never want to take it for granted.

Clearly, I Was In Over My Head
He was there.
I saw him.
I know he saw me.
I waited to see if he would approach me.
He did not.
He just left.
He just left.
Now I know.
I don't have to keep convincing myself that he will change.
He won't.
He said so himself.
I just didn't listen.
I posted this the other day. It's a chapter of my life that has closed. The lyrics to the song, Over My Head (Cable Car), by The Fray, says it best.
I never knew
I never knew that everything was falling through.
That everyone I knew was waiting on a queue,
To turn and run when all I needed was the truth.
But that's how its got to be.
It's coming down to nothing more than apathy.
I'd rather run the other way than stay and see
The smoke and who's still standing when it clears.
Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head.
With eight seconds left in overtime,
He's on your mind.
Let's rearrange.
I wish you were a stranger I could disengage.
Say that we agree and then never change.
Soften a bit until we all just get along.
But that's disregard.
Find another friend and you discard
As you lose the argument in a cable car,
Hanging above us as the canyon comes between.
Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head.
With eight seconds left in overtime,
He's on your mind.
And suddenly I become a part of your past.
Im becoming the part that don't last.
I'm losing you and it's effortless.
Without a sound we lose sight of the ground.
In the throw around.
Never thought that you wanted to bring me down
I won't let it go down till we torch it outselves.
Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head.

I'm Back
I am back from a wonderful weekend at my parents' house. Thanks to all of you who replied with your kind words. I really appreciate it. It's back to work tomorrow, but with the reminder of a fresh start.
