I am lucky that I haven't had to deal with a broken heart in a while. Being married kind of lends to that, but I am witnessing a broken heart right now, and I'm trying to think back to, if any, there were broken hearts on my account.
But I can't think of any who I have ever broken their hearts. But I can remember those who broke mine:
Michael: First ever boyfriend. First boy ever cheated on me. And I can still remember to this day how it felt when he told me. Like someone had just kicked my stomach in. And I still hate him for that.
Daniel: I remember the blasted Keith Urban song we danced to, and every time I hear it played I still think about him. He was shy to kiss me, but was so worth it when he did. Never could fully return the feelings, so broken heart.
Chris: He's more of the same as Daniel. Journey "Don't Stop Believin" reminds me of him. It was forced to be a secret, but I do remember him telling me he loved me, only after I asked, when I was on the beach with friends... I learned a lot from him. And I miss him.
Broken hearts are never a fun thing, and this is a really down post for a Friday. I miss the falling though. And I guess sometimes learning how to deal with a broken heart is a valuable lesson... but it still bitterly sucks.
Give me back my McDonald's Toy...Give me that Toy.

This is ridiculous, and another reason why I would never ever live in California. I mean, I can't even begin to understand the premise on this. I hate hate hate that the government feels the need to stick their noses in even this. And I'm not a huge politics person; I'm not. But when they try to interfere with something with as little meaning as a toy in a Happy Meal?
I mean, there has to go to be something more important to pass laws on right? If a parent wants to feed their child McDonald's until they're all nice and plump that's their prerogative. It all goes back to why in the hell does everyone care so much about what other people do? I do not care about a chunky child or about the toy he gets from his Happy Meal. I do not care about this child obsesity act thing that Mrs. Obama is trying to pilot.
IF a parent is going to feed their child McDonald's, they're going to do it whether or not the president or his wife says not to. And if a kid wants a Coke at school, and alas, they've taken all the soft drinks out of the vending machines, he will just bring it to school in his lunch box. Same goes for Skittles or a Snickers or whatever.
I guess the main point of this rant is that I honestly can't figure out why so many people care what other people are doing. It is such a waste of time and effort. And to take those toys away... that's just ...I don't even know. At least the portions are smaller I guess.

While the Cat's Away....

Since I have been left to fend for myself this weekend, I am finally able to watch whatever I want! This includes, but is not limited to, The Hills, Gossip Girl, Glee, Grey's Anatomy and Sex and the City....all of this without the "Do we really have to watch this?"
But then there's all the girly movies that I L-O-V-E and always get turned before they even get through the credits.... Here goes..
1. Steel Magnolias. I can't figure out for the life of me why he won't watch this one.
2. Mystic Pizza. Yes, I have a thing for Julia Roberts.
3. 27 Dresses. I also have a weird obsession for Katherine Heigel. (or however you spell that).
4. Absoutely anything with Sandra Bullock in it.
5. When Harry Met Sally. And it's not just for the sandwich scene.
6. Twilight. Yes, fairly new, and not even that great. BUT, still in love with it. And Jacob, seriously? Does NOT get any hotter than that.
One of these days, I'll write about something important. I have actually almost decided to just buy my own website. We'll see. Like I said, I have the whole weekend to do whatever I want.

I was at work this morning and my service manager came up to tell me a story that restored my faith in humanity. Lately it seems that everyone is too busy for niceness, which I can't figure out.
Anyway, I won't rant about the downfall of humanity; instead I will continue with my story.
He said that he was at an appliance shop, picking up something for his broken stove at home, when BAM, a car comes flying from behind and hits the car next next to him. This guy was extremely distraught, asking my service manager, T, if it was his truck and what he needed to do. T said that out comes a guy from the appliance store. The guy that drove his truck backward asks this guy if it was his truck he just hit. And he said it was. So they walk around the truck and survey for damage. T said there was just some damage done to the bumper, nothing severe, but this guy never lost his cool. So backwards-driving guy asks what he can do to make it alright. Appliance store guy looks at him, and says, It's your lucky day. Let's not call the cops and just call it even. The Lord is looking out for you today. So backwards-driving guy says, no, no, I need to give you something, and appliance store guy says, no, we're good.
Can you honestly say that if someone hit your car that you would react in the same way that this guy did? I would like to think that I wouldn't lose my cool, but even T said he would have flipped.
Then T said the guy said, "If everyone got along just like me and that guy did, the world would be a much better place."
So for today, if someone makes you angry, just let it go. Make the world a better place.

Books!
15.4.10
In the spirit of high school summer reading lists, I am going to make a list of all the books that are on my wish list to read right now.
1. A Million Little Pieces - James Frey. In the middle of reading this one right now, and am in love with it. He writes whatever he feels, and I admire him for that. Story of a recovering addict; basically a biography. Will let you know how I feel at the end.
2. Girls in Trucks- Katie Crouch. Got the review of a friend's blog, www.katyharper.com, and it sounds interesting.
3. Chelsea, Chelsea Bang Bang - Chelsea Handler. I'm sorry. I'm in love with this girls midget-loving, vodka drinking ways. If I could make a living off reading Celebrity blogs and Tweets and Ok Magazine, trust me, I would.
4. I Was Told There'd Be Cake - Sloane Crosley. Again, a person who writes what she feels. Can't hate on someone who can actually put everything they feel into words.
5. 4 Blondes - Candace Bushnell. Good girly summer read. Plus the woman invented Carrie Bradshaw.
6. Forbidden Love with a Married Man: E-mail Diaries - Dennis Schleicher. Seriously? This sounds interesting. That's all.
7. Little Earthquakes - Jennifer Weiner. Her and Candace Bushnell should join forces and reign as Chick-lit queens. She's a great writer, and if I could write books, these are the books I would probably write.
8 Gods in Alabama - Joshilyn Jackson. Picked this up for .75 cents at a yard sale, strictly because it said Alabama on it. About a girl who grew up in Alabama and moves to Chicago, to get away from some crime she committed, but eventually has to come home to face whatever it is she left. I can't wait to dig into this one.
There are more, because I saw them all at BAM last night, but I can't remember them. I tend to read more in the summer, A. because there's more sunlight and B. you can't beat reading a book outside in the grass.
Get to reading!

The Times They Are A Changin...
14.4.10
So my personal style hasn't changed much in the past 15 years. I have always been a comfy girl. I love my jeans and I love my t-shirts. But as I near the 30 year mark, I'm thinking that I need to rethink everything I've been doing in the past decade.
Phase 1; Finally get rid of the blonde hair. It is super cool when you are a 16 year old, and you have black as night roots, and nobody cares because everyone knows you're a poor high school student. This is also OK, if you are from California (or any other equally as sunshiney state), and that beautiful sunshine naturally kisses your hair to make it change colors... I wonder if Alabama counts...never mind. The blonde is gone...next Saturday.
Phase 2: I guess I can stop wearing jeans and t-shirts. With all those cute dresses and skirts, is there any real reason not to wear them? Of course not....
Phase 3: I guess I can dress better for work. Business cas? Maybe so, but that doesn't mean I can't look nice every once in a while...
I feel so awkward lately. I don't really know a better way to say it or put it... Is this really what aging means?
Next time you see me, don't be surprised if I'm wearing mom jeans and sporting a perm.
