My Mothers Child

It brings me warmth to have memories of my mom. Certain things that I do remind me of her a lot. If you had the chance to know her you will know that she had a major attitude problem much like myself. :) but at the same time could be the most giving, kind person ever. She could work 20 hours plus then come home and serve everyone else before she would even set down and eat. amazing! She would randomly send flowers just so people knew she cared...you get the point.

As my aunt pointed out - not only do I have my mothers DNA but I was raised by Barbara...this meaning I can be moody, short tempered, snap at any moment and who knows what else..haha! isn't that great. Much like a Pit Bull! CAUTION! :)

Well yesterday (Saturday) I was in such a great mood. I'm not sure what it is but I have become more of a morning person. I feel more productive. Well the day started off great. I have always worked with people whether it is by sales, resourcing, human resources whatever... always around the general public. Well I am in a really good mood and this girl approaches my desk and is wearing Cici's pizza attire...$4.99 buffet is what I am thinking... I am nice to her...I follow our guidelines and ask for her name and how I can help her and to see an id...the customer refuses to help me and won't even tell me her name. At that point she really isn't even a customer if I can't validate her account. She told me that her phone isn't working...This I really don't need to open an account for so I take the back off the phone to check it out and it clearly has liquid in it...I go "miss there is water in your phone...look..." then with a sassy Latina voice and attitude she goes " it's not water ... stupid ... it's oil" HAHA are you fucking kidding me? not only did she call me stupid she is a fucking moron! At this point I try and keep my cool and I get my bitch on in a way that I can't get in trouble with...
It turns out she wanted to exchange the phone and stuff but didn't have receipts - I wouldn't help her but a co worker did. Gah!
anyway while I am there reminding myself of who that attitude reminded me of I started laughing and left early! to finish off a then great afternoon.
I am much like my mother in some ways.

Yesterday I had a date with this kid that I know - well kid he is 21 and I just turned 22...not much difference. There was really a connection that I had not ever before noticed. We ourselves are a lot a like as far as pickyness, habits, the way we think etc. I was amazed. It's fun really getting to know someone. At the end of the night I walked him to his car and he thanked me for letting him come over...
and later texted me "goodnight babe" now in the crazy dating world this could mean so many different things. Now I just have to go with it...wait it out pretty much.
this is the hard part. You must not allow yourself to seem needy or possessive etc.
I often coach my friends, cougars etc on relationships now I just have to follow my own homework. Wish me luck.

  1. It's always easier to see the faults of others relationships. The most important thing to make a relationship work is knowing yourself - what you need and what you offer. Then finding someone that compliments you and doesn't drive you crazier than you already are. :)
