sleeping in on sundays
i think that sleeping in on sundays are the best, because it will be the last opportunity you will get for a week. mondays are disgusting creatures that surface for air once a week, and my monday is a 2-headed beast with dollar bills for eyes and a weekend's worth of luggage. maybe he'll just stay for the day, but more often than not he leaves on tuesday when he's already worn out his (un)welcome. but today isn't about lounging now, but about buying poinsettias.
along with the many other duties i have at work, (apparently just being an employee isn't enough these days) i'm also in charge of the care and up keep of the indoor plants. right now, i have some mums and calla lilies that are going down fast and i need to put something in their place for the holiday season. i was hoping to find small holly bushes to put where the mums were because i have found some awesome poinsettias to stand out. yard and garden land out in hazel dell has them on sale for 24.99, and the variety i am getting is an orange/pink color which will stand out from the typical fare of red and white that the hotel is littering around the lobby. i would go all poinsettia except that they will lose their petals in a month and i don't want to buy $200 of plants all over again. that's why heavenly bamboo in a red color would be the way to go.
it's the little things that keep me busy and keep me happy. i'm really tired of thinking too hard about frivolous matters, especially when it comes to people. i refuse to talk about andrea from work now because i've done what needed to be done, burnt that bridge and now i'm over the whole ordeal. i don't talk to her, and i barely have to interact with her at work. i'm happy. i'm a dick, that much we are all (un)aware of. it's really sad that 2 entries ago i was complaining about this same kind of thing, but it was all work in progress. i'm working on my relationships with people, and if i have to i will end them. it makes no sense to be around people where i have to defend myself and my actions. where i am not accepted for who i am. it's obvious that the things i do are for attention because honestly, getting lovey-dovey with a beast is not how i plan to spend my weekend unless i can get some good stories out of it. i don't run around stark in underwear and tennis shoes for my health (just the once). i am not someone to be criticized because what i do is (usually) out of fun. i don't think that i should be on the receiving end of a barrage of personal attacks ever. i say, if you have a problem with me or my actions than you do not have to be involved in my life. so the quickest fix: end it with people who have a problem with you and don't worry about it.
what i would really like is a nice girlfriend. i have so many great couple-friends that i'd love to socialize with 2 on 2. if it wasn't for my most recent ex being a beast, i'm sure i could have enjoyed those experiences a lot more. i'm open to a lot, but there's something a little unsettling/immature-ish about 2 couples having sex in the same room. instead, i think light conversation over dinner and drinks would have been a little more apropos. but maybe that's just me.....
so now i'm off to gather and purchase some plant life. it's a rainy sunday and i'm feeling that a warm, coffee-infused beverage and a sweater would be quite suitable.
