Weekly Resolutions

- work, as usual
- 2 custom orders

This past week was great! Thanksgiving at the boy's grandparents was so much fun. I wore a dress!?! Yea there is no proof of this but trust me I did.. His grandfather turned around and said, "Who do you have with you, Lee?" Hahaha. I think by the end of the night we all had a buzz.. His grandfather started before us all! And the dinner was amazing.. Lee cooked it all, and I was very proud! He offers to cook all the holidays because his grandparents are getting on up there, I think it is just so sweet.. and after the dinner we got to hear his grandfather tell stories about being on the radio back in the day, I am guessing around the 50's and 60's..

My birthday was another story.. this is the first birthday that i received no gifts, which I am totally fine with.. Never been a material person.. But I guess it hurt most that a lot of my friends forgot and I didn't even hear from my parents, which if you know them is self explanatory. Every idea I had to do on my bday got rained out because it landed on Black Friday.. which meant all the thrift stores were closed, and this really secret comic book place was closed.. bummer all around! But I got to spend the day with Lee.. and that was really all I wanted. I did get to spend some more time with Lee's family.. I met his extended family on his mom side, which was neat.. I can tell where he gets his looks from.

This week I have no plans except work and do my custom orders. As the holidays are getting closer and closer, work gets more hectic.. and of course so does life. I think I will be working all of Xmas Eve, which I did last year too.. But I should have New Years Eve and New Years off.. maybe? Last year Lee cooked a really romantic, fancy meal.. and we toasted to the new year with champagne.. I am hoping this year we will be able to do something similar, except I won't be at work most of the night this year!

I am very lucky to have him.. Lee has been a great boyfriend, but a better friend. Our year is in December.. I am looking forward to that.

Weekly Resolutions

- Continue to be patient..

- Enjoy time with the boy

- Take some photos on one of my days off!

- Finish my custom order for my etsy shop!

- Do more cross stitchings!

- Craft night with the Crafty Cunts!

- Continue being positive..

So lately I have been trying to view life and situations differently. It is not easy, especially when you are stuck in a routine day in and day out.. After a while life becomes this rock that is trying to drag you down to the bottom of the lake. So I have been enjoying the small things, not let things I can't help or change get to me, and spend time with people who actually care.

I have been so lucky to meet Lee. We went out to eat last night with his mom, and I have say that the more we hang out with her, the more I think we get along. I guess in the past few years I have grown hesitant about meeting parents. I was very nervous with Lee, he is an only child and his father died two years ago. So his mom is the only one he has and vice versa. But she is so accepting. I got so tired of one of my ex's mom who would always ask me why I had them and that she didn't understand why I would do something so ugly when I am so pretty. It really bothered me.. and we dated for nearly two years, so I heard it a lot! But Lee's mom likes them and she doesn't point them out or ask about them.. She just accepts me the way I am.

I think we are finally going to have a Crafty Cunt night. They have been few and far lately because everyone has been so busy. But I am looking forward to reuniting with them and continuing our meetings once a week!
