(no subject)
I was feelin down all weekend, but I'm better now.
Friday morning I read something a guy had written about me that was really hurtful. I was always nice to him, and he was friendly to me so it was kinda a shock that he would say something like that about me. Exactly why I avoid certain social situations. It doesn't matter how sweet and friendly you are, if you don't have a certain physical appearance some people have no use for you.
Then, I had made a huge mistake at work Friday afternoon and it bothered me all weekend, but we fixed it first thing Monday.
My car is on the fritz and I had to go car shopping this weekend, but we found a good car quick, and I should have it by the end of the week.
I was lovesick because someone called this weekend that I hadn't talked to in awhile, and I didn't expect him to ever call again, and then I walked out on him...completely closing that door. If he comes back after that it'll definitely be for real. I've been so down, thinking I walked out on the most important thing in my life this weekend, but I know I didn't. Staying would have been disrespectful to myself, and if he really cares about me like I hope he does, he'll call and say so. Either way, I'm happy because I know I'm worth so much more than how I've let him make me feel.
I think I was a little upset about my sister too. We got in this argument last week because she went out on a date and had a great time. I was happy for her, but it didn't come off that way when I told her she can't ride two horses with one ass. All I meant was that she didn't need to be putting her heart into a new relationship until her divorce was final. I really am happy that she has found someone that she can have fun with, but I just don't want to see her get hurt again. I'm almost as scared for her as I am for me.
Today was a good day. I bought a new CD: George Strait- Somewhere Down in Texas. See You On The Other Side is the first single released from the CD, and I've heard it a hundred times already, but I just listened to the words for the first time today. It made me smile because I thought of Mimi. I took it so hard when I found out she was dying. Something that wonderful is hard to let go of. Mostly it was just hard to see her suffer, but now that she's gone I'm so happy for the memories. I still cry sometimes when I think of her, but they're happy tears. She was such a beautiful lady and I'm just so thankful that she was a part of my life.
I'm gonna put the lyrics behind a cut, 'cause I know most of my friends probably aren't interested in reading them, but I think Bret could especially relate to them right now.
On The Other Side
by George Strait
Well, hope is an anchor, and love is a ship
Time is the ocean, and life is a trip
You don't know where you're goin' 'til you know where you're at
And if you can't read the stars, well you better have a map
A compass and a conscience so you don't get lost at sea
Or on some old lonely island where no one wants to be
From the beginning of creation I think our maker had a plan
For us to leave these shores and sail beyond the sand
And let the good light guide us through the waves and the wind
To the beaches in a world where we have never been
And we'll climb up on the mountain, ya'll, we'll let our voices ring
And those who've never tried it, they'll be the first to sing
Oh my, my
I'll see you on the other side if I make it
And it might be along hard ride, but I'm gonna take it
Sometimes it seems that I don't have a prayer
I let the weather take me anywhere
But I know that I wanna go where the streets are gold
'Cause you'll be there
Oh my, my
Well, you don't bring nothin' with you here,
and you can't take nothin' back
I ain't never seen a hearse with a luggage rack
So I've torn my knees up prayin', scarred my back from fallin' down
I've spent som much time flyin' high 'til I'm face first in the ground
So if you're up there watching me, would you talk to God and say
Tell him I might need a hand to see you both someday
Oh my, my
So, I'll see you on the other side if I make it
And it might be a long hard right, but I wanna take it
Sometimes it seems that I don't have a prayer
I let the weather take me anywhere
But I know that I wanna go where the streets are gold
'Cause you'll be there
Oh my, my
'Cause you'll be there
Oh my, my
