Good day...

Well today was a pretty good day. I feel like I'm finally starting to get the swing of things at work. For the first few weeks I was beyond overwhelmed...its the first job I've ever had where I was like "wow, CAN I do this?" I'm usually diving in head first before I see how deep the water is! lol

But its getting better. On the home front, we have half our stuff and the new place, and half at the old place, which is hard. I'm so exhausted from work (did I mention those people RUN like all day?!?!?!) that by the time I get off I have like NO energy left to do anything...ugh!

Sat down today to make up a package for a friend and came across some of my old poetry. I used to LOVE writing poetry in high school!!! I mean LOVED it! I wasn't any good, but it sure felt good to write it! Anyway, reading through my poems I was hysterical! Most of them were about ex-boyfriends whom I was CONVINCED were "the ones." How pathetic! Anyway, I'll leave you with a sampling of my glory (ps, I am WELL aware that I'm no Walt Whitman, but humor me anyway!)

Love Stinks:
I gave you all my heart and soul, and watched you throw it away
I gave up so very much for you, now I regret it every day
I tried so hard to be the one, but nothing I did was right
And it was so hard for me to close my eyes, and wonder who you were with at night
I love you so much, more than words can say
I think about you every night, and every minute of every day
I know that you're with her (name omitted for privacy sake! LOL) now but deep within my heart
I wonder if you'll come back someday, we weren't meant to be apart
I sleep alone now, that's the hardest part
When I reach over and you're not there at night - it breaks my heart
I try to act like I don't care, but we both know that's not true
And sometimes when I'm alone at night, I wonder if you think about me too
How could you just go away and shut me out of your life,
When I think of all we've been through together and the dreams of being your wife
But I know that that's all over now, I have to forget about you
But something in the way you love me that I just can't let go
The way you lied and misused my trust was just so low
I gave you all the freedom that you could ever need
But you crushed it with all your coldness and greed
I remember the first time you said I love you, I thought you were sincere
But I came to realize later that it must have been the beer
What I went through to be with you was such a horrendous fight
But I held on for oh so long with all of my might
All along I sat watching my heart slowly break,
But now I am positive that all your love was fake.

ROFL, now that that's off my chest.........
