Is It My Turn?

Why is it that when your life sucks, it seems like everyone else is having a great time? Why is it when your life is going great and you just want to share the goodness with everyone, it seems like their lives are going down the toilet?

I want to tell my friends how excited I am about my new job to be and about the stupid thing my cool co-worker did. I want to talk about how much I miss him being there and how I can't wait to see him soon. I want to talk about my vacation and about how he is going away again. I want to tell them how my life is going great but I can't because they just lost their jobs, they are having relationship issues. They just don't want to talk right now and I understand because I have been there and done that already.

So I sit and wait and my stories never get told. I do the right thing. I listen and be supportive, wishing that someone supported me.

Nothing to Wear

I'm hot, I'm tired, and I'm bothered. I have four more days before I head to the Bahamas and I still have nothing to wear to my brothers wedding. Every store(that is in my price range) has similar dresses, none of which I like. Many of the dresses are similar to dresses that I own already. I want something different. This is my first beach wedding and I was instructed to look fabulous.
Its so hard to be fabulous and broke. Well... I'm not really broke so I guess I should say fabulous and cheep. I really don't want to pay more than $100 for a dress. I mean, I'm not getting married. I just bought my plane ticket, clothes, shoes, I'll have to pay for food, and not to mention the hotel. This does not even include a gift and I have not even done my hair.
GOSH! Would they spend this much money on me? Sometimes I wonder. Anyhow, I just checked the weather report and it says thunderstorms for the next 10 days. The last place I want to be is on the beach in the rain. Well, I hope God holds the rain up for a day. I'm sure this trip will end up marvelous and I will look as fabulous as ever...like usual.

And for those of you who have not seen me lately, here is a picture to remind you of what you are missing.
