SBQ
This week's SBQ was suggested by Rachel and is:
What is your cross stitch weakness? (i.e., What do you have to have
when you see it, even if you are supposed to be on the Wagon?)
-I usually end up picking up kits for people in mind when I'm supposed to be on the Wagon. Sometimes, I'll pick up floss.

Left open to interpretation
Had an interesting dream this morning that was interrupted by my crackhead cousin. Scott and I were at some function (either sports or concert) and we had driven there. It was in NYC, so the fact alone that we drove was interesting. We met up with his friend Matt and by the end of the thing, Scott was completely ignoring me. I had gotten fed up, said fuck this and went to catch the subway as we were leaving the arena-something that I never would have done. My last looking at Matt and Scott was that they were busy chatting away walking to the car and never noticed that I had left. Before I could find out if Scott ever did notice, Denise had woken me up. I have a strong idea of what this means and it actually gave me some peace.

What I miss about NYC
In no particular order:
Zeit
Chicken and Broccoli with brown rice from Bobo (when it's good)
Don's
The playing of Bejeweled for hours on end because SI was slow and BK didn't need help
The not dealing with supervisees crap like sexism, racism and ageism all wrapped into one
Friends
Crackheads at work
The ability to see a Broadway show at the drop of a hat
Central Park
Prospect Park
Shea Stadium
The ability to find a good restaurant
The ongoing talk about the kids...and knowing that they are not the 2-legged human kind
Knowing that I have a comfortable place to call home
Having quiet
Having my kids run around
The playing of games
The relatively short trips to CT or Long Island
The not having to drive anywhere
My reading time

Happy Valentine's Day
I hope that everyone has a good day today. If you have a loved one, consider yourself blessed. If not, don't despair and count your several other blessings. Don't give into the hype of all the commercialism out there. You should be thankful for your loved ones, no matter what day it is.

Just want to say
Thank you to the NY Giants for beating the New England Patriots last night in SuperBowl XLII. Now my '72 Dolphins can continue stating that they are the only team with an absolutely perfect season. So here's my champagne glass toasted to you.

Life as Jen knows it
I never mean to hurt people, especially the good ones but I know that I have recently hurt someone and I will never be able to apologize enough for it.
I have someone new in my life and it never intended to be more than a friendship. But we both feel a connection and are willing to try this out despite all the hurt that we both have felt over the years thanks to the exes of our lives. He's a fun, kind and caring guy that not many people would be able to stick around and get past his passions to see his complete self. He was there when I got into the accident and he allows me to be who I am. He brings out the wacky side of me, something that not many have been able to do. He's free spirited and I need some of that to counteract my serious nature.
I need money...damn American society that we live in. So part of me is really thinking about getting that little friendship bracelet/bookmark business up and going. Now it's just a matter of taking pictures of what I've already created and starting up the site. It's either that or finding a part-time weekend job or really pushing my ass to get some writing down and published.
Work is a bunch of chaos. As supervisor, I'm in charge of making sure that my people are actually doing their jobs. I've always been the type of person who will give people enough rope to hang themselves. Well, for some, the hanging has already been starting and I'll be having the pleasure of writing them up very soon for not responding or doing the work without the tantrums. Almost every day I hear something new about this person or that person leaving the agency, finacial problems up the ass. How the hell do you lose $500,000? It's nice to have a vision of where you want your agency to go but if you don't have the business intelligence to back it up, it's a problem. At least with Ramon, he had massive ideas but was able to try to achieve them thanks to the environment that we worked in. My current boss can't do that. People are wanting their money back and there is no documentation of where the money went. Not a great feeling. So I'm also trying to figure out if I should be looking hard for another job.
Also, trying to figure out if I should start focusing on finding a new place to live. Mostly so my cats have room to roam around instead of being confined to my room. It is obvious that they are not happy and I need to be looking out for them. Of course, with no money, it can be tricky. Too bad I can't inherit some money from some wealthy person or win the lottery without paying for the ticket. I know that things will work out and that it's just a matter of time. The question is how long is that matter of time going to be?
