Ok, so I really don't have a black eye. Just read this joke in my inbox and remembered that I thought it was funny:
Quote:
A guy boards his plane bound for Pittsburgh and sits down in his seat. He notices immediately that the guy next to him has a black eye. He says to him, "Hey this is a coincidence, we both have black eyes, mind if I ask how you got yours?
Other guy: "Well, it just happened. It was a tongue twister accident. See, I was at the ticket counter and this gorgeous blonde with the hugest tits in the world was there.So, instead of saying 'I'd like a ticket to Pittsburgh', I accidentally said 'I'd like a Picket to Tittsburgh. And then she socked me one."
First guy: "Mine was a tongue twister too. I was at the breakfast table and I wanted to say to my wife:'Please pour me a bowl of Wheaties. But I accidentally said: 'You ruined my life you fuckin' bitch!'"
It is very symbolic of my life. Everything is going along smoothly (or so I think) then WHAM! I start evaluating my life and go, "Goddamn, my life is so sucky."
Today Mr. Birthday Dick was all down. He said "Just got here and the day is for shit."
Every day for me is for shit, but I'm still fairly happy about it. I'm breathing, my kid is healthy, I still have a pretty good damn job, and I have a loving family.
I just can't help but think that my life is on pause. There is something that I'm missing out on.
This weekend I was on the poor-ish side. We hung out. I forgot what that was like. Just me and Z. We call them Mommy-Zoe days. I'm usually so busy babysitting every weekend, that we haven't had days in a row together. We have Labor Day coming. I think we will chill and maybe go swimming (if it doesn't rain).
Sugar Snit gave me some food for thought:

And - in her book, "The courage to be rich" Suze Orman discussed what you'd do if you had millions of dollars but still had to go to work. Whatever that dream job is - is what you should do. Write down your top five and let me hear them.
1. Stay home mom (volunteer for kids on the side)
2. Teacher, Art or English, 3rd or 4th grade
3. Working for Nike or some funky, creative company
4. Tour Guide in Alaska or Europe
5. Fitness instructor/Triathlete
6. Full time student in London or Paris
7. Writer
8. Clothing designer or store owner/buyer
9. Girl Scout leader
10. Volunteer at my church
Ok, so I had more than 5. I know that if I stay at my current job, none of the above will happen. I'm fully expecting that one day my project here will end (and most likely my job), so I'm sure I'll be moving in with my parents. I could see me doing some of those if I lived there. Or if I could be more responsible with my money.
I wish I had a cool roommate. Like in a big house. Although I don't know if anyone could handle Zoe 24/7.
Anyway, another busy work day. Hopefully it will slow down some the rest of this week.
And yes, still no word from Dr. E. Nearly 3 weeks now. Weirdness. I hope he is ok. As I hope I will be ok.
OK?
[edit]
whoop for Aimee! Hope that you get it.
