World According to Shia

Today was Marissa's birthday party - at the park where Marrissa was having her first part of her party (they were going to the movies at a small local theater after) a little girl came up to me and asked if we were having a birthday party. I told her that it was Marissa birthday and she told me that she gave out 24 invitations to her birthday party and no one came. It was really sad the stuff she was telling me I felt really bad for her - she said she was 8 - she was dirty and had no shoes on - I told her she could play with everyone and have cake. A few mins later she came up to me - she apparently went home and brought Marissa back a doll - I told her that she didn't have to give Marissa anything to come to the party but she insisted - she was such a sweet little girl. So while she was hanging out with all of us she heard the other kids talking about going to the movies - she asked me if she could go - well there's no way we are taking off with a kid - so instead o...

Is keeping a secret from someone close to you the same as lying? Once I got a speeding ticket and I didn't tell Paul because I was going to have a friend take it to Traffic Court for me.  I thought...I'll get it cleaned up and THEN I will tell him.  Well I forgot (since I hadn't had a ticket in awhile) that when you get a speeding ticket you get TONS of junk mail about taking a traffic school course to have the points removed.  Needless to say, Paul found out by checking the mail and then was pretty upset with me for not telling him.  I wasn't necessarily not telling him for any particular reason.  I just thought...why tell him now.  He said keeping secrets was like lying and that we have to be able to have trust.  Seriously I thought he was blowing it way out of control but I guess keeping secrets can be a slippery slope. So what if your friends are keeping secrets?  Is it the same as keeping it from your partner or famil...

So if any of you are trying to call me, I currently don't have a cell phone. Mine completely died last night so I am waiting on it to be ship which will arrive tomorrow. Why not just go to the Verizon store and get one? TOO EASY! Gotta do it the hard way. Anywho, the reason that this is truly a sad day is for a couple of reasons 1) I had the same phone as Hannah Montana from that "great" and "moving" movie that dubbed Hannah Montana time and 2) there are so many pictures on my phone that I am going to lose ... cute pics of Marissa (including the zoo trip), pic of my first bday flowers from Paul, etc. Why not just take out the SIM card....IT DOESN'T HAVE ONE!!!  However, turn those frowns upside down folks....I'm getting text messaging back! YAY!!! However, I only get 150 of those bad boys so if you feel the need to text me....MAKE IT COUNT...no Heys or What ups...get to the point in the first text. PS if one more person asks me why...

it wasn't clear from the heading...this blog is about MY LIFE ! So that would be things going on in MY LIFE , impacting MY LIFE , etc. Not what is going on in the lives of others so yes I can write about MY LIFE ...if you don't like it... DON'T READ IT ! because it shows that you don't care about MY LIFE ! Okay sorry to blog yell I just had to clear that up!

I have to end this madness.... Today I feel heartbroken. I have two sisters who do not appreciate me. As you can see from my blog, I am someone who gives advice, looks out for others, etc. I have friends that thank me on a daily basis for my help, advice and motivation but yet these two sisters who I've done plenty for in the past and present never even acknowledge my existence. I receive no respect or gratitude from them and only hateful words. If these two were my friends, I would realize that they were just "takers" and not true friends and distance myself from them but how do you do that to sisters? All of us are at points in our lives where things could take us each in different directions, so at this point, when we are all close to each other, why aren't we close? These two also think being "close" means that I do everything for them and receive nothing in return again "takers". I'm tired of being the person to give and give and ...
