One of my goals for 2007 was to start talking to my friends about things that were bothering me instead of holding them into until I couldn’t hold it in any longer and I would then handle the situation at the wrong time and wrong place and not be very nice about it.  So instead another one of my friends, a very wise woman (Kelly you rock!), suggested that I just tell them when something was wrong.  

So I decided ok it’s time for me to grow up and be a big girl and talk things through.  I mean I have been able to talk things throuh in a relationship with the opposite sex so why wouldn’t I be able to talk things through with my girlfriends?  It’s proving to be harder than I expected (sigh). 

Last night I had the chance to share my feelings with one of my close friends about something going on in her life that affects our friendship.  My first instict was to just let it go (what can I say it’s hard to break old habits) but instead I stood up and let my feelings flow.  I was very proud of myself for the way I handled the situation.  I wasn’t snotty about things (like I can be if I let them go to long) but calm.  It felt really good to share my concerns/thoughts but by the tone of her voice I could tell she was irritated with me (sigh).

So after we got done talking I ended up feeling guilty and told myself I should of just kept my mouth shut like in the past.  Then Dr. Phil’s voice popped into my head and I very specifically heard, “so how’s that working for you”? like Dr. Phil always says. And in that moment I realized I had nothing to feel guilty about. 

Why can’t relationships (whether with the opposite sex or the same sex) be easy?  Cause that would be too easy and then I wouldn’t have the chance to ‘grow’ through trials.

I checked with Kelly about getting my show up but there was something wrong with the recording I did in Audacity so now I have to rerecord (sigh).  It was fine when I recorded it but as soon as I uploaded it into Audio Acrobat it was all staticky and weird sounding.  So back to the drawing board I guess.  And darn it all I really liked what I had recorded but oh well I suppose I should of known there was going to be some bumps in the road along the way.  Hopefully I can get it figured out and get my show up before it’s time for show # 2…LOL!

It’s nothing serious just ice cream ;-)  Well ok so ice cream can be something serious…LOL!

Oh my goodness I’ve just found the best ice cream in the WORLD.  I’m referring to  Choclate Peanut Butter from Schwan’s.  Oh I can’t even begin to describe how yummy it is….lol.  Geesh it makes my mouth water just thinking of it ;-) 

Even my son fell in love with it.  Most kids like any kind of ice cream but not my son! He is very picky and was already upset with me that I didn’t buy the cookies n’ cream ice cream that he likes.   He informed me that it wasn’t nice of me to buy ice cream he wouldn’t like (kids!).  I said well if you don’t try it you won’t know.  He didn’t like that and decided he’d try it and to his surprise (and mine) he actually liked it.  He was like wow mom this is really good!  

So last night we had some fun and I changed dinner time up a bit.  Instead of eating dinner first we had our dessert first.  It was fun and of course a huge hit with Caleb! He’s now convinced I should allow him to eat dessert every night and of course that should now become his ‘main dish’.  Nope not going to happen! But I thought for something fun it wouldn’t ’scar’ him (or me…..lol) to eat dessert first last night.  Well it didn’t scar him but now that’s his idea of how dinner should be all the time ;-)  

Ok time to stop talking about it because I’m holding myself back already from the freezer!  It’s only 9:29AM I can’t possibly eat ice cream this early in the day…..or can I? Maybe just once it wouldn’t hurt

I can’t wait until I’ve done enough of this ‘podcasting’ stuff to feel comfortable and know what I’m doing…..LOL!  I have my show for this week recorded but I’m having some ‘technical’ problems (not surprising….this is me I’m talking about and I’m the most computer illiterate person I know!). For the life of me I can’t figure out how to upload the show.  So again I guess I’m going to have to bug Kelly, the queen of answering my questions :-)

I was planning on having show # 1 ready for today but I spent several hours with my grandma on Monday at the hospital (she is having more complications due to her surgery she had on March 6th - she now has a blood clot in her leg) so I’ve gotten a little behind in my VA projects for this week and that of course has put me behind on recording my show for this week. 

I’m looking forward to recording it….lol.  Actually I think I just like to hear myself talk;-) No I just like to have fun, goof around and share my opinions/thoughts that’s why this is so ‘easy’ and fun for me!

So be sure to tune in tomorrow!!!!
