Just Another Bend In Journey of Life

SlackerSo as you can see I'm slacking yet again! Busy week. S's bday party was Sunday. Hard to believe she's 6 years old already. I remember the day she was born like it was yesterday..... She couldn't decide on what kind of cake she wanted this year. It went from Tinkerbell to a butterfly to a horse. We ended up making a big giant 6 out of cupcakes and frosted the entire tops of them with pink frosting so it looked like a continuous "6" and not a bunch of cupcakes. She put sprinkes over the tops of all of them and I did an outline in purple. It turned out cute. I thought anyway. When we got there we were joking that looking back on the pics I'm not going to be able to remember if it was her 6th bday or her 9th! My little cousin came in and asked me what the "g" was for. Nice. I realized when she was blowing out her candles, that it did in fact look like a "9" so I had to run around to the other side of her and take some the "right" way. :)
In other news, we're busy getting ready for Halloween. I am heading down to a friends house again this year. Another friend of ours is coming in from MQT. Should be fun. We'd initially decided on being delivery girls but changed it to Pirates. It was a toss up between pirates and cops. The cop idea was funny because my dad is a cop, one is engaged to a cop and the other will most likely soon be engaged to a cop also. Would have been funny but it's too late to change now as the costumes have been purchased and hopefully shipped soon. At least our heads are out of our asses this year. Last year I waited too late to buy mine and the one I wanted was sold out everywhere in my size. I ended up paying out the ass for it. It was worth it though. We looked hot! :) At least I can use some of last years costume for this year. My red frillys and my black petticoat. The totally hot shoes I had last year would work this year too but I think being a pirate I should really wear boots. The other girls costumes came w/ a hat, sword and eye patch and mine doesn't. Damn it. I had to buy the hat seperately. Instead of a sword I think I'm going to get a whip or cat o' nine tails. Hey, I can't be the same! :)
I just tried uploading pics of the costumes but of course Blogger has PMS again today and won't let me. Here's the link http://www.3wishes.com/pirate.asp. You guys decide which one you think "fits" me the best.
In other news. Becky is still hounding me about going on a date w/ hot cop. We'll see what happens there. I think I'm just not too keen on it for the purely selfish fact that I KNOW he's going to want kids one day and I'm just passed the stage in my life. I mean, maybe one day I will change my mind but I really don't want my kids to be 10 years apart in age. S and her brother (dads previous marriage) are 10 years apart and that's hard. Let's face it, I'd have to meet someone first, get married blah, blah, blah, before having another one. She just turned 6. That's a big age difference right there. IDK, it'd take someone really special to change my mind about that one. One never knows what the future holds I guess. The one thing that I do know is that I do NOT envy watching my sister and other friends with little ones, hauling bags around with diapers, extra clothes, food etc.... Making sure they'll all bundled up in the cold. Mine is just so easy now. She can keep herself occupied, dress and feed herself etc. It's just really nice. I'm not so sure I'm willing to start over. Time will tell I guess. Anyway, so ya, that's my issue w/ hot cop. He's young. On the other hand, a couple of friends of mine were at the party on Sunday and she had thought of a guy that would supposidly be PERFECT for me. Her hubby and this guy (we'll call him Mr Army) work in the National Guard together. He's about 36-38 and is divorced with 2 girls. I guess his wife left him while he was serving in Iraq for a year. What a bitch. I mean, shit happens but here's this guy serving OUR country for US and she up and leaves him?! My God, I mean, what else did he have to hold on to while he was over in the killing zone? Terrible. Anyway, so I guess J is emailing Mr Army and giving him my number. This outta be interesting. They said that he is just one of the nicest people you'd ever meet in your life. He's from the same town "the" ex is from. Nice, just what I need! :) JK. He doesn't live there anymore, he lives near when I'll be for Halloween. My Aunt and Uncle that were at the party on Sunday also know him and said the same thing about him. Then I was MSN'ing w/ a friend in MN and she said that she's met him too and is very nice. So far so good. And the good thing about him is that he has 2 kids so there probably wouldn't be any pressure there to have anymore. It'd be a mutual decision. Yes, I realize I'm jumping the gun here but I can't walk blindly into a relationship or even a date with someone knowing full well that we want different things. I mean, you date people for a reason right? To find that special someone that you can spend the rest of your life with? Well, instead of the serial daters I guess. Anyway, that's the point I'm at. I hate the dating scene and why date someone knowing it's not what you want in the long run? That's why I kicked BT to the curb. Just way too different people.
Anyway, time to work.
