Upon the hearth the fire is red, |
Still round the corner there may wait |
Home is behind, the world ahead, |
Mmmmmm.....bacon....
You didn't get fired or anything, did you?
You sound like good people to me!!! Really Rosie...even if you were the crazy cat woman with the spotless house, people should like you for WHO YOU ARE.
It always hurt me that my mom would never come over to see me (she lives six miles away) because (she said) my house was too dirty. Then I fly-ladied it and it didn't change a thing...she still doesn't come over. It's not the house she doesn't want to be around...
I stayed in three homes in Washington...very different. Scott's, Ramius's beachhouse, and Hair's. In all three homes I felt comfortable and very happy, not because of the appearance of the home...I hardly noticed...but because of the host and the company I kept.
All this to say, she probably really did have allergies and THAT'S something you can't do anything about...someone else is at fault for putting her in a cat home! You are not responsible for the guest someone else imposes on you...the guest is also responsible for themselves. Had I walked into a situation that I physically couldn't endure in WA, I would have happily got a motel room and continued to have a wonderful time.
I'm sure you're beating yourself up over a cluttered home for nothing...if a person is any sort of decent, they won't even see the clutter...if they do, then maybe they aren't worth investing a whole lot of emotional energy into...who wants someone so shallow that you go out of your way to make them welcome and they still don't want to be around you?
Now I'm crying...
I'm a gal, so I don't think of them "that" way...but I still say Mirando Otto is definitely a cutie pie.
Even the one brother who isn't much of a LOTR fan likes to watch the movies 'cause of her...
Right, so it's a "dude flick" too. Something for everyone.
LOL! I'm still here.....*sigh*
Oh, 2J! You're such a sweetheart...
It's OK, really. I still don't know what she thinks of me...it's been a little odd, since she's not really a super talkative person or anything and hasn't been that easy to get to know...but I'm not gonna worry about it.
Hey, I got fresh blueberries last night, for the first time this year. They're down to about a dollar fifty a pint. Had some with a mock danish for breakfast this morning. Very good!
(((2J)))
Just wondered....you've had time to fix breakfast lately. :)
I haven't seen the movie, so I don't know what he looks like, but I'm just a sucker for Welsh names!
Heh...no!
I think I'm just half past give a crap. :-)
Well...that's a good sign, isn't it? :)
Heh.
It was a great movie! I also like the actor who played the little boy, all grown up. I think his name is Josh Martin, and he also played Reese Witherspoon's husband in Sweet Home Alabama, another fun movie.
It's been a rough morning...
You know, I'm a hard person to get to know for some reason...I'm all the time saying something accidentally offensive.
But if someone tries to get to know me, then I'm usually so grateful for their effort that I try real hard to be a good friend.
Well, a woman in my Sunday school class tried. She really seemed to want to have a friendship with me...one of the few that really seemed to warm up to me especially after the fight I had with the shrink (which polarized people toward me to an extent).
When I came back to SS after that fight, it was very stressful and she was one of the ones that tried to make me feel welcome and I just appreciated her so much.
Well, she got pneumonia and died last night...
I'm just all tore up. Friends are just so hard to come by...true friends don't care about your cluttered home or that you might ocassionally blurt out an awkward opinion to a "higher up" in your church...they just care about you for you.
2J, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your friend.
Woo hoo! I bowl about the same...
Good morning everyone!
[sip]
Oh, darlin'...I wish I was there to give you a hug. That's rough. I have trouble making friends, too...and partly because of that, I truly, truly value the friends I DO have. Losing someone like that is hard.
She may be in shock over meeting your whole family. Does she have many siblings?
SSQ is a quiet type, so it was a bit of a jolt for him to meet my family. He has 5 siblings (I have 7), but he's on the tail end of the family, and the older ones had grown and left town by the time he was in middle and high school, so he was used to his quiet. HAH! My older siblings mostly stayed around, with their kids, so it was always chaos at my house. He musta liked it, OK, though; 31 years later, and he's still here!
