Feel a little blue tonight? What are you going to do about it?
Dump it here....
I'll start...
I'm pissed that I've spent the last 40+ years of my life following in footsteps created by my upbringing and making bad choices because of it.
I'm done dealing with it...tomorrow I'm going to do something nice for myself....
I'm going to treat myself to a walk in the park (weather permitting), let my best friend of over 30 years introduce me (via email) to a male friend who's looking to meet someone nice, and, have Mexican food for dinner.....
How about you???

Hmmm. I am not feeling blue. In fact, I've been feeling great AND it's sunny outside. I'm planning to play and laugh with my baby girl, cook me up some fresh Alaskan salmon, leaf through an old InStyle article about the beautiful and confident Queen Latifa, and generally chill.

That's cool an'ka. BTW, it's nice to meet someone from Alaska!! I'd just love to visit there one day.
I love salmon, although sometimes it doesn't like me, LOL...'allergic' reaction. Sounds like you've got your night planned. Enjoy your time with your baby girl...that's what's important!

darn it, i'm blue too!
i'm sick of trusting and counting on people who clearly can't be there for me when i need them, despite the numerous times i've been there for them in the past. it makes me so angry.
well... tonight, i'm going to bring out a puzzle and work on it while watching tv and listening to music. tomorrow, i plan to go out to lunch with work friends and then possibly hit the mall. that always makes me feel better!
i think an'ka should invite us all up to alaska for some fresh salmon... sounds good to me!

I am very tired all the time because of work and taking care of grand baby.

Mmmmmm Salmon! InThisForMe you will have it made honey-Alaska and then next year the Jersey shore with me and ICU you coming too?
I would not say that I'm feeling blue per say.....a bit stressed over a few things going on in life with my job, bills....but I'm working them out! At least trying too!
I cannot stand feeling stressed!
I was glad to see two very good girlfriends of mine tonight, that made me smile! And I'm going to lay in bed shortly with my new quilt and my little doggie!

Yum! Salmon! Count me in!
I'm feeling blue tonight, too. I've been dwelling way to much on XAH, his situation, his troubles, and mostly how his behavior affects the kids.
Enough.
Starting this minute, I'm done. He's taken up way too much of my time. It's time for this "parent" to stop parenting him like I do with my my real kids.
Starting this minute, with the help of my HP, I won't let him steal another minute from me. It's time to say goodbye to him totally, and embrace everything I have going for me with the clear, free mind I deserve.
Tonight I'm getting to bed early. This weekend I'm going to a craft FAir, and a cookout. I also plan to do lots of drawing and to curl up on the couch with a juicy Lifetime movie. And to walk, walk, walk the dogs.
Did I mention the chocolate????????????

I'm so sick of this too!! I'm sick of letting people manipulate me and I'm sick of letting myself fall for the manipulative lines.
I'm going to take a bubble bath and watch a movie
Oh and I've already done one other positive thing...I've talked with my family about what happened today, this includes a relative of mine who is a priest and is also in the program.
full of hope

Count me in on the salmon!
I'm such a lovely shade of blue it's starting to look normal on me. I hate that!
So, what am I going to do about it?! What a good question, ICU.
I think I'm going to take a long, hot shower and wash the blue off and then just in case it decides to come back I'm going to hurry up and curl up in bed with my favorite book and let it take me away.
Tomorrow......I'm not even going there.

My blueness:
my agf (god bless her heart) is an idiot and may have a warrant out for her arrest because she missed the court date for a ticket (NOT a dui/dwi, at least she's smart enough to never drive under the influence), but hasn't called or gone in to find out what her status is. She's thinking they'll write her off as a "dumb kid" and give her another date, even though it's one of 7 tickets thus far in 2007.
What I'm going to do:
eat a great big bowl of ice cream and smile a lot because I am in no way accountable, and she can't try to make me be.

When I'm feeling really down and blue I love listening to jazz. There's a healing quality to it I can't describe. One of my favs is a cut by Miles Davis called "Blue Miles." Other favs are by Charles LLoyd "The River is Wide" and Pharoah Sanders "Kazuko". Alice Coltrane's "Universal Consciousness" Cd does it for me too. It touches me to the core and leaves me in a state of total awe.

Well, let's see....walk in the park...done! Mexican food for dinner...in the works! Hmmm... that just leaves the introduction thing pending. Well, that's not in my control, so I won't worry about that.
You folks all have some great things planned....love the salmon, visit to Alaska and the jersey shore suggestions (count me in)...chocolate is ALWAYS good, as are puzzle books, music, baths, rest, ice cream, curling up with the dog, and you certainly can't forget about the power of prayer.
I love that the simpliest of things can really make a difference. I hope you all enjoy whatever it is you choose to do.
Now, onto tomorrow's 'nice things to do for myself' list. Hmmmm......I think I'm onto something here.....it's all up to 'me' to treat myself right, isn't it? And, and....maybe I shouldn't wait until I feel a little blue to do nice things for myself? Maybe, I should do at least one or two nice little things for myself...dare I say...everyday?????
Nah, I should probably just wait for someone else to do nice things for me.....NOT!!!
