codequeen's Journal  I know that it has been forever and a day but I am back. Since I have been gone, I have broken up with the guy named Rob and moved on to dating a couple others. However, I am very happy being single right now. In fact I am enjoying it so much that I have to post an article that I read recently about being single. I agree with it fully...... It covers the top reasons why it is great to be single. 1. You get to go wherever you want and do whatever you want on vacation. If you hate cold weather, you don't have to risk losing toes to frostbite just because your sweetie is a ski buff. And once you get wherever you're going, if you decide to stay in the hotel room all weekend with room service and an on-site masseuse while ignoring the historic blah blah blahs? No problem... Nobody's gonna know! 2. You get to sing out loud -- badly, without embarrassment -- to your iTunes whenever you're home. 3. The remote control is all yours, all the time. And you don't have to worry about anyone else making fun of you because it's switched to Lifetime or hours of NASCAR coverage. 4. You can comfortably put up that Star Wars poster you've had since you were a kid or paint the bathroom walls petal-pink--after all, decorating isn't a team sport. 5. Your friends all instinctively make you their "...and guest" when they go to an event. You get prime invites to concerts (especially popular during the summer), weddings (ditto) and other ticketed events every time someone's significant other has to bail. 6. You get to indulge all of your interests, no matter how bizarre, without negotiating. That means you can hole up with piles of true-crime books or drive an hour for the fairy exhibit at a nearby museum without ever having to explain yourself. 7. You can try all five of Cold Stone Creamery's July-only flavors... twice... before noon... and not have to hide the fact that you ruined your appetite for lunch. 8. When you get to the front of the line at Blockbuster, you know with certainty that you're not going to have to pay someone else's late fees for a movie you'd never watch. 9. You never, ever have to look over your shoulder before drinking straight from the milk carton. In fact, being single means you can leave the toilet seat up, the toothpaste cap off and your dirty undies on the bathroom floor. Let your inner slob run free! 10. You get to go to parties and barbecues without worrying that the person you lugged with you is bored, annoyed, or getting embarrassingly drunk. (And you get to flirt with every hot prospect there!) 11. If a sexy, brooding plumber with a mysterious past moves in next door and captures the attention of all the local ladies, you don't have to agonize over whether or not to leave your mate to pursue your one shot at true love. If things click, you're untethered, and it's game on, toilet boy! (For guys, substitute a pair of sexy blonde cheerleader twins for the brooding plumber.) 12. Nobody ever hogs your side of the bed, steals your cover, wakes you up with freezer-toes or flops his or her sweaty night-bod on you. And every single night, you nod off knowing that you're in the company of someone who really loves you. I think that about covers my thoughts for the day! Have a great one! Lisa Current mood:  relaxed.
Hey I forgot to leave you with my thought for the day in my last entry. Thought for the day....Why don't you ever read the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"? Current mood:  cheerful.
Hey everyone, Sorry I have been slacking in my journal duties. I have been extremely busy but that is no excuse. I have been busy with my new teaching job. I am loving the teaching part but hate the office politics. I am doing a good job teaching and the other teachers are not happy that their students are responding better to me than them. It is just that I am enthusiastic and they aren't. Excitement breeds excitement. They have just forgotten this fact. Plus, it doesn't help that I am the only woman in the office so I am not a part of "the boys club". On the personal life level...things are going pretty good. However, the guy situation is getting complicated because I have been dating a guy named Rob but now a guy named Eric is heavily pursuing me. I am in a quandry because I like them both for VERY different reasons. Oh well, I will figure things out. Now onto the next subject....AErought had a 4 things tag in her blog. She didn't tag anyone with it but here are my answers to it. Most of these are hard for me to limit them to 4 answers... 4 jobs I've had: Industrial painter Newsreporter Accountant for a motorcycle shop Paramedic 4 places I've lived: Just 4? Kalamazoo, MI (born there) Grand Haven, MI Montague, MI Riverton, Wyoming currently Muskegon, MI 4 Movies I've watched over and over: 10 Things I Hate About You Mummy/Mummy Returns Bridget Jones Diary Coming To America 4 places I've vacationed: Just 4 again? Las Vegas Disney World Zion National Park, Utah Several places in the Carribean 4 favorite dishes: Steak Pizza Chicken Fetticini Alfredo BBQ Anything 4 sites I visit daily: killsometime.com howstuffworks.com torrentspy.com dribbleglass.com 4 places I'd rather be right now: bed hockey game Ann's house Carribean 4 tv shows I love: American Idol Dancing with the Stars Ultimate Fighting Championship Grey's Anatomy Anyway, there are a few things about me. Would love to hear about everyone out there in journal land. Talk again later, Lisa Hello again, Well, I just finished having dinner with my cousins and a friend. We went to Olive Garden. Awesome Food!!!! Ann, your suggestion of the Chicken Marsala was a great one. Thanks for that. Dinner was great but so was catching up with my cousins. Unfortunitly, one of my cousins is getting divorced. I feel so bad for her. This came as a total shock for her and it sounds like her husband is just going throught a mid-life crisis. I have this feeling that in about a year he is going to wake up and go "damn, what did I do". Traci has gone out and has obtained a new job. She is part of the work force again. I am glad that she is at least getting herself financial sound and so she doesn't have to rely on Dave. Dave apparentally doesn't necessarily want a divorce but he wants to live separately. So basically, he wants his cake and to eat it too. He now always goes out with his friends but also just shows up at Traci's whenever he wants and hangs out there with her and the kids. He doesn't like her to go out with her friends but it is just fine for him to be out with his friends (who, by the way, are all 20 years younger than him). Double standards suck, Dave. Grow up and be a man. (sorry had to rant there) I have seen so many of my friends divorce and many others who have stayed together are having problems. It makes me think that maybe I am happy to be single. Granted, it is nice to have someone special but if that special someone is going to eventually drive you nuts....whats the point? I don't know, maybe I am jaded because I don't think I have ever been crazy in love with anyone before. Maybe that kind of love doesn't truly exist and it is all an illusion. I don't know....any thoughts on this subject? Well, I am taking my confused butt to bed. Sleep well Traci and know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. Sleep well Dave, maybe you will figure your life out soon. Also, sleep well all those other friends having problems....maybe things will look better in the morning. Hopefully, I will sleep well and love will look like an actual possibility again in the morning. Sorry to rant and rave here but I am truly bothered by this issue. Thanks for listening (reading). Current mood:  confused.

There are so many things that I could add to every list but that will have to do for now. I am off to make some food for the Holidays. So, Merry Christmas to all! Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday...no matter what holiday you celebrate. I will leave you with one last thought....Why is it we drive on a parkway and park in a driveway? Current mood: relaxed.
Okay... and welcome to the I don't know what I am doing page! My friend Ann (aerought) has been hounding me to get a blog. I decided that I would do a reverse Birthday present to her since today is my birthday. So, this is my attempt at starting a blog. Will I have anything insightful to say in here? Maybe, sometimes, I don't know. I am sure I will ramble often (since that is what I am best at). I lead a sometimes very busy life, so I don't know how often I will be able to post. However, I will actually make an effort to sign in occassionaly. As I stated before...today is my birthday. I turned another year older at 10:30 this morning. What is kind of cool about my birthday is that I was born at 10:30, my mom was born at 10:30 and even my grandmother was born at 10:30 am. What is the odds of that? Also, I share my birthday with one of my best friends. So, happy B-day Ryan! Ryan has been more like my brother than my actual brother. I had a good birthday. I went to lunch with my parents. Normally, we do a big birthday dinner but they are out of town tonight. You will learn that my parents travel a lot. I love that about them. You would never guess that they are in their 60's. They are very active. Well, I think I am off and running. I have rambled enough for one entry. So I leave you with one thought on my birthday and that is "You are only young once but you can be immature forever!" Words to live by. Lisa Current mood: mellow.
