• Good decisions

  I emailed them and told them I was taking a step back. It's hard to keep steering the events when I'm running into people who do not want to keep moving. What I consider proactive, they consider pushy.  I'm just the type of person that likes to have things done within a month before the event and only make final arrangements a few weeks before....and I've gotten no support in terms of the bridesmaids backing me up on the way I handle things. It seems like I'm the only one stressing out, so I told them I'm taking a step back and letting them handle it and to have one of them in charge and let me know what thye want me to do. I'll do it..I'll show up wherever they tell me to show up, etc. etc. I'm done w/ this bullsh*t....and I feel so much better that I told them. 

  I never had such difficulty before. Seriously.

  Besides this, I have to talk to my boss and tell him that I won't be available that last Friday in July b/c my travel agent (despite explicitly requesting a Friday night departure) booked a Thursday morning departure and I just don't know how it'll be price-wise to change the itinerary.  I'm going to France and Italy! So happy that this is happening. My next trip to Europe will be England and Scotland (but that's another time). 

  Although he didn't text me today in the morning, I did get a sweet "good night" message from him.  I know that I'm going to have to talk to him this week to just make it clear to him where I'm at in this process. I like him. I hope he likes me. It's strange to have things come so "easy"....just sad that I have to say this b/c it only shows what crappy relationships I've been involved in...put up with in the past. There's something there that I can't explain. I try to doubt it, but he proves me wrong...and I hope I'm wrong...and that maybe this time...just this time my prayers will be answered. Only time will tell though.

  I mean with Italian, I was excited and hopeful, but the communication barrier was evidently there and I did question if he was too intense for me. But with this one, it's easy..simple...relaxing. I hope it continues to be so. 

  I definitely have to go running tomorrow. I had chicken pot pie for dinner --> I figure I had to eat something since all I had that day was slim fast, cereal bar for snack, cup of chicken noodle soup and crackers for lunch...and that was it. I still have my okra at work..so I'll be eating that for snack/lunch tomorrow. I'm out of vegetables and fruits, so I gotta go grocery shopping this Thursday and go to Triple A to pay for my car registration and get the stickers there...yay to DMV.

  Since I signed up for my car insurance renewal in October, it's been really nice not to have to stress out in April over registration, taxes and so forth. April usually hits me financially b/c I use to have everything due this month. Car registration, insurance, taxes, AAA membership fees....thank goodness I renew my car insurance in October now...and only once a year instead of every 6 months. I still don't know if I owe $$ to Uncle Sam but I probably will...I usually do.

  I've been looking online at the housing prices. Some are going down and I'm hopeful that I'll be able to buy something and move into my new place by next year. That is my ultimate goal. I'm looking at Culver City, Palms/Mar Vista Area, West LA, West Hollywood Santa Monica and Marina Del Rey area.  I'd consider Torrance as well, but it's a pretty far drive and in that case I might as well consider Glendale instead.

  Aight, I gotta get some zzzz in before I go to my day job. Thank goodness it's nice and quiet here tonight at work.
