Cinco de Mayohave another?

So not really in a festive mood myself, especially for a holiday that doesn't seem to be about much other than drinking tequila drinks or mexican beer & packing every mexican restaurant slam full.

However, a twitter from Cake Wrecks, did make me smile & wish I had a cup cake!


Oh there are more! More styles to bring the dulce feista to your boca!

Maybe I will treat myself some time soon.

May the Fourth be with you

Yup its Star Wars day...



I adore this lil one's take on the movie.

odd couple

Just an example that love can exist in so many ways.

Cults cut deep

...ok I'm ready to feel better. Unfortunately today doesn't seem to be the day.

I spoke with the ex (ug it hurts to even type that) & we ended up just getting into it. He still claims to have loved & still love me & want my friendship, yet still doesn't see how I can be a part of his life in the future as a girlfriend or wife.

I've heard of cold feet, but his created a whole new polar ice cap. Doesn't help that he has this new church to back up his insecurities. No matter what, it all boils down to he didn't have any real faith in our relationship, our future or me.

I keep wondering what I could have done differently to encourage him or show my support that we can live happily admist the differences. I keep wondering how I can get him to realize what he is doing by ditching his friend, his dreams & retreating into a place where is focus is just on the church & his relationship with god. I know its (& should always be) important to keep that relationship strong, but I don't believe it should be the ONLY relationship.

My belief is love, real love is rare & truly a gift from the almighty - however you perceive it to be. No good can come from destroying it out of fear.

Anyway... enough of my emotional release.... on to today's sites.

Healthy Faith VS UnHealthy Faith - Judgement of other's beliefs that vary from your own is not healthy.

http://www.howcultswork.com/ - Cults also try to cut you off from your friends and family because they hate others being able to influence you. A mind control cult will seek to manoeuvre your life so as to maximize your contact with cult members and minimize your contact with people outside the group, especially those who oppose your involvement.


I promise I will get back to the fluff. I just need to get this out of my system & express it somewhere. I have hope that one day, my ex will find a way to real happiness.

I'm the stuff that got left behind

So today....I am all over the place. One moment I'm optimistic thinking we can work it out, the next I'm throwing a pity party for myself wondering why I wasn't enough, then I get pissed & just want to celebrate that I escaped a life with this guy. But the reality is my heart is broken & nothing but time will heal. The anger is just my best defense at the moment.

Hopefully I can do something good with the energy.



Like these people...

Today's site gives gals (& guys) a place to unload the leftovers of the relationship that is no more. Make a little cash from the pain.

how to?

So I'm honest... sometimes too much so, but its me. Which frankly it feels like I am the sole person alive who thinks the same.

In trying to find some way of dealing with the pain I'm going through & trying to spend my time proactively planning what I should do next rather than letting my mind wander & end up bawling for the millionth time, I have discovered that there is a TON OF CRAP advice online!

Like "On the other hand if there was still some hope that you could get back to the old person then do your best to restore this relation,this would be a good idea since he may have really been the best match for you.

One final thing, know that if there was a best match, that doesn’t mean that he will be the one, It’s only the best match that you have found and not the best match that does exist, there may be still out there a better match but you just didn’t happen to meet him." REALLY?? Thanks that helps... he might have been the best match & you should chase after him like crazy! Jeez I feel much better now.

Argh.

Is there really anyway to actually feel better? I mean I have been through break ups before, but dang it hurts. Especially thinking I wasted the past few years & now have to start dating again at 31. I was so glad to be over that whole scene. I know, don't count your diamonds before they are slipped on your finger, but we had picked out designs! Plus he keeps saying he wants to be friends & not lose the closeness. HUH? So its JUST the RELIGION? Argh!!!

Not that I have any desire to date again. So do I just give up on the dreams? Just live my life solo with the birds. Resolve to just be.

Part of me wants to cry nonstop, part of me wants to deck him, part of me wants to get him in a straight jacket & part of me wants one for myself!

What's a girl to do?

Cookie cutter

Play mindless games online. Sometimes all you can do is pass time reminding yourself to breath & hope that as the minutes tick on, then the pain will go away.

Turning 100

So this is my official 100th post of the blog.

My night started off with the intent of ordering a pizza for dinner, but alas, other things happened & I skipped the pizza.

Still I found this & it actually made me laugh & since its 100 ways, just seemed fitting.

18. Crack your knuckles into the receiver.
