So, you think, oh this time it will be different!  :)  It makes me laugh just saying that.

While I was working at Jerry’s Deli, the graveyard shift, we had a reciept printer that didn’t work.  It was attached to the convenient computer that was at the end of the counter, so it was the computer which was easiest to work with, so naturally that is the one I always used.  And everytime I would go to print a reciept I would forget about it being broken until I look down and there was my reciept all crumpled up in the out put slot.  The buzzer goes off and there I am opening the printer and trying to salvage that little reciept that isn’t even readable.  And this is the point where I say “This printer is like my ex, I know what I am going to get, but I keep coming back.”

At this point I realize what I just said made me laugh along with my two other co-workers who heard me.  Guess we’ve all been there. 

  As I am eating from a bag full of sour cream and cheddar ruffles, dipping into some Dean’s french onion dip I realize that I’ve gone back to that same damn printer, eventhough I haven’t worked at Jerry’s for 6 months.  Crazy, huh? 

But here is the good news, no matter what happens, what is said, or what is done, from here on out go to a different computer with a freaking brand new printer! 

After having a wonderful dinner with friends you realize how lucky you are.  Everyday is a blessing that we all need to enjoy!

“It’s called a Breakup because it’s broken” by Amiira Ruotola-Behrendt and Greg Behrendt

I love books. All kinds of book, but am recently a self help junky.  I love them and I once I have read a great one, I feel the need to give it away, and pass the great knowlege on.  But after I give it away I have to buy another copy, so its a vicous cycle.  I do believe I have bought 4 copies of Zero Limits, cause its that good and people need to read it!

So the same thing happened with “It’s called a break up because its broken”.  I wasn’t looking for a book about break ups but the cover grab my attention, it is an opened pint of ice cream with a lot of pink, blue and white.  I am like a little child who thinks she’s a princess, so pink gets me everytime.

Anyhoo, I picked it up and started reading, and was taken by the matter-of-fact way the book is written and the wake up call that it gives on every page.  I read it in 3 days and then immediately gave it to my roommate when I finished it on the third day at midnight-30 in the morning. 

It is so insightful on how we should be living our lives, not only through the break ups but everything else.  We need to love ourselves and realize the “Superfox” inside us all.  That is their term not mine, but I like it.  We shouldn’t settle for someone who isn’t right for us, no matter what the circumstances.  And if they broke up with us, they said no, so we need to pick up our boots and walk away with dignity and in the end be grateful that the relationship ended and you are now available for your real love in your life.  The person who IS your perfect match.

It is the worst feeling to have the person who you thought was your perfect match not be the one, I know I have been there.  Actually I have been on both sides of the game several times and they both hurt, ALOT.  And being single now, I am definitely seeing things a lot clearer about how I want to proceed with my heart.  

 Breakups hurt, no matter how long it has been.  And if it has been a good amount of time since the break up, it can be very frustrating, because deep down you know you should be over that person, who broke your heart, but you just can’t.  I do not have an easy fix for that, still dealing with that one myself.  But after reading this book, I feel somehow better because it made me realize that I am not the only person who has been stuck on someone.  A person, who is anything BUT right for me, for way to long. And finally taking the reigns and saying, “Not anymore, cause you don’t deserve me and you certainly don’t deserve the time I have spent on you”. Amen sister!  Just say those lines about whoever is breaking your heart and I guarentee that you will feel better.  Just do it!

This is how crazy this technology thingy is.  I was going online to look at someone’s blog and then I see a little icon that says follow.  Being the sort of person I am, I am trying to get in with this whole technology thing, so I click on follow. Then it sends me through all this prompts and I just say yes, ok, allow, etc and then all the sudden I have a blog, what the heck!!!!  I thought it was going to take me for evers to do something like this.  I am still a little confused as of right now, but we can to this together.  This is one of the reasons I don’t do a lot of surfing on the internet, I end up with accounts all over the place, I can’t remember my password to them or what they do.  I am totally old fashion, what ever happened to good old letters and a phone call.  Now it is all text and tweets and poking on facebook.  Ugh.  Any way love to all!!!:)  I am slowly but surely getting this thing
