Good morning campers.
I truly hope everyone is having a good week. yes I know it's only Tuesday. ;-)
I have been feeling out of sorts. Down in the dumps. Fed up. Cheesed off. I don't know what started it...maybe it was the fact that J Land has had some serious issues this past week..maybe the death of Anna Nicole and all the depressing TV coverage.. I don't know but I have felt like I lost my best friend. I spent the majority of the weekend laying around on the couch in the worst mood. Didn't want to do anything yet I was bored. Does that make sense? I truly felt sad. for no particular reason. I tried everything I could think of to cheer myself up but couldn't so just decided to give in to it and go to bed. 7pm Saturday and 8pm Sunday. pathetic. poor hubby didn't know what to make of it all and stayed clear of me. Good idea. ;-) Anyway I am feeling okay again now and I guess it could have been the dreaded hormones or the February blahs but whatever it was I am glad it is gone.
The Chili cook off was okay. I didn't win..didn't expect to..LOL.. I was however a judge and that was cool..I just had a brain wave.. maybe Friday night set me off...do you ever feel out of place? like you don't fit in? That's how I felt Friday night.. hubbies buds from Italy were all there and they were reminiscing about all the good times over there...there was this one particular female chief who got up my nose... she was the one hubby went shopping with in Italy to buy purses for my daughter...he failed to mention that she is one very HOT latina ..hmmm... and the fact that she had this weird look on her face when he introduced her to me didn't help...whatever.. I can't waste my energy being jealous but in hindsight maybe that's what was bothering me all weekend...she disrespected me Friday night.. made a point of hanging onto hubbies every word and kept on with the "oh you remember this?" or "Hey how about that one time" grrrrrr....See how writing things down makes you see things clearly? this is probably exactly what got me in such a pissy mood....oh well...we haven't survived 24 years of military life by me being jealous..you cannot let this stuff get to you and play the "I wonder if" game because you will drive yourself nuts. having said that I am also not stupid. Just wanted to clarify that... ;-)
Ahhhh... I feel better already.. I do have some good news.. the windows are being fitted Thursday (looks at Ainz) I am so excited..of course the forecast for Thursday is lows in the 20's..LOL.. I promise pics...I have to get going here and catch up on some housework..I did NOTHING this weekend...I am meeting the girls for happy hour this evening too..and this Saturday we go to see the Celtic women..and of course tomorrow is Valentines day.. as I have said before it really doesn't mean a lot to me but all the same you like to get something...;-)
I really need to post some good things so I shall leave you with my five....
1. Movies.. I did get out of the house long enough to see "Because I said so" ..go see it ladies..it's funny as hell...
2.. Things that make you go hmm...writing this entry this morning really did make me realize some things...
3... Feeling better.. I am so glad that I woke up yesterday and the "cloud" was gone..for those of you who live under a cloud all the time I truly feel for you..that must be almost unbearable....
4.... Being able to help out a friend this weekend..in the midst of my "funk" I still managed to help some one who has it way worse than I could ever imagine.. I only wish I had the answers...
5..... J Land...just as in real life we are not without our problems.. I just want to say "Can't we all just get along"??

Lyn sorry you were having such a grotty time ~ I would have been miffed off if someone was hanging on to every word my hubby was saying ~ I think she was trying to get to you with the "do you remember" knowing full well you were not there at the time ~ that weird look on her face is probably how she looks all the time :o) (that's just me being catty) "Meowwww"~ glad you are feeling better now and you could write 5 good things down ~ Ally
Great entry! Way to keep it real! I haven't posted anything lately and it is for the same reason. Way too much drama and evil and hurt. Makes me sad. I love how writing it out cast a new light on your emotions and you were able to get to the heart of it.
You and Ainsley with your windows!!! LOL Good luck.
As usual I love your 5. Especially #5.
Traci
Idont think if there was anything init she would have hung around your hib ,would have made herself scarce ,unsettling though .feel better about things soon .love Jan xx
sorry to hear about that snake woman who acted so out of line around you at the chili cookoff. I hope tomorrow you have a wonderful day with your hubby....i have heard of those Celtic women....enjoy those new windows too.
XO lj
This reminded me when Glen and I got engaged, he had an ex in town...and he wanted us to be friends!! What could have possessed him to ever think she and I could be friends...anyway, he had arranged for us to have dinner together, the 3 of us, and, me, being the biotch that I am...took my engagement ring that very day to get re-sized. Truth is, I didn't want to show it to her!! So we're ordering, and she asks Glen, "are you going to have the #19?" Of course, thats exactly what he had!! All during dinner..."remember this, that"...blah blah blah. Dinner didn't end soon enough!! Then, he had to give her a ride home, because, "poor her, she doesn't drive!" Luckily, she moved out of town shortly after. I can totally understand your funk!!
xoxo ~Myra
Aw....you should have called me and I would have tried to cheer ya up!! I think that if there was anything between the 2 she wouldnt have hung by his side so much. I bet that I would feel the same way though..........its always easy for someone else to tell you it was probably nothing! I am glad you are feelingbetter.
Hugs

(((((((Hugs))))))))) I'm glad you are feeling better. Isn't bibliotherapy wonderful! I find writing down how I'm feeling often produces the answers to why I feel that way lol.
Though I've been blogging for 2 1/2 years, I have not been involved with many of the others journalers till recently and the fuss bummed me too. As a newbie to the J-Land crowd, it was discouraging to see the drama and upset.
loving you

I just loved your entry today. I could have written it myself. I was in a funk all weekend myself. Sounds like you did well lifting yourself out of yours. I woke up in a cheery mood this morning. My son (that is living here with his daughters 3 & 5) starts working (on the job training today) for the Railroad, like his Dad & brother. But the little girls got up earlier than usual and Gramma wasn't quite ready for their day to start. It's very chilly & I wanted them to eat a warm breakfast. They wanted none of sausage & eggs. So I cooked oatmeal. They are quietly enjoying it now. Sigh then the fun begins. I need a calgon take me away moment. Not gonna happen. So glad you're getting your windows. Happy Valentine's Day tomorrow.
Hugs, Barb
Yes I've been feeling much the same way. Glad you are getting new windows. Hugs,
Lisa
I so know how you feel. When we have our friends over it always turns to the marine corps. They can sit around and talk for hours. I feel so left out. I usually just end up hiding in our room. I know that these guys have a bond that I will never understand, so I do not even try to act like I do understand! I hope that you have a great day!

By your description, it sounds like the woman who was jealous with a good reason was the other woman. Otherwise, she wouldn't be trying to one up ya all night.
However, I wouldn't keep her up your nose. Get a hanky and give her a good BLOW!
Awwwwwwwwww Lyn, I get into a funk sometimes myself, Hope you feel better , Hugs Lisa
Sorry about the cloudy weekend...glad the clouds are gone tho. Yeah, I am new at Jland, and I am gonna miss alot of the people all this affected. Have a GREAT day..

Yes I know how you are feeling but sems like feburary is the blahs month. But having had that woman dothat. Man that was rude and not called for. Hubbys former boss use to do that to him and at company things try to push me out and he would turn around and say what do you think Lori. SHE EVEN CALLED him on his cell phone a few times. when she started asking personal stuff like how to deal with ex's and chidlren in her divorce he would say let me let you talk to my wife she can give you a womans perspective!!!!! she soon stopped that BUT it did cost him his job in the end. she stopped giving him jobs to do. when you work commision that hurts. ANYWAY I do not know why women can be so mean to other women.
I cant wiat to see your windows. hey 20's sounds good to us as last week we never saw them lol
I hope you get your blahs done nad over with. Hey a ladies night out sounds good. I can go for that.
Its awful feeling out of sorts and the day you said you just laid and felt bored lol, i understand that mood perfectly. Our kids get them moods lol. I always got clean your room if your bored. I wont mention the italian, not worth the bother like you said you have been married long enough to know your hubby.
love and hugs
katie
Awwwwwwwwwww, Lyn, you have every right to feel how you did. As for the hot Latino, I wonder what she would have looked like with two of your fingers jammed up her nose and you using her as a bowling ball? Even if you don't do it, it's nice to think it huh?
You shoulda put extra chillie in her meal............. I woulda liked to have seen her the next day 'dabbing dry' lolol
Take care my girl, if all else fails, tell her your b/f will sort her out!
xxxxxxxx
wow...I think you handled the hot Latino Beach...like a lady. better than I would have. She would have riled my Irish/German temper....sounds like she may have a crush on hubby. Well he is yours..not hers..her tough luck. I know there was some fussin' around J-land..hope it passes. Bam
I would have thrown my arms around hubby and flashed my wedding ring at that woman. My daughter wants me to send her flowers and balloons while she is in school tomorrow and sign the card,
Love,
Your uncle, Johnny Depp
LOL I signed it....Love, mom.....
Hope you have a good V-Day!
Amy
Yeah Lynn, I agree with everyone about the hot latino chick, she sounds a cow. I would put a little salt in her drink next time, ha ha. Apart from that though glad you are feeling better now. Hugs. Terry x
Sounds like you have cheered up a bit now. The Hot Latino was trying to make you jealous. . .she will have seen your lovely face and thought you were hot too. . cheeky mare she is! Love your number four. . .says so much about you.
glad you're doing better.. chin up.
hugs

I am sorry you had such bad weekend and were in a funk...don't let that women get you down. She is probably jealous of you b/c you've got the guy!!! & don't forget that.
I really want to see that movie "because I said so"....I hardly ever get to the movies! Have fun with your friends at happy hour!
Maria
Hope you cheer up some by Valentine's Day.
Missie
Oh, boy, I know those Blahs! I get them from time to time. Used to live with them all the time until I found Zoloft and then Lexapro LOL - thank God for the guy who invented those! I loved the 5 point ending. Isn't it great how journaling helps us get in touch with our feelings and helps us figure things out? Glad you are on the up swing! Take good care of Y O U.
Hugs, Kathy
Get yourself out of the dumps and have a happy Valentine's/hump/no panty day. Take care.
Phil
Sounds like you need a hug! {{{{HUG}}}} Hope you have a Happy Valentines Day!

Dawn
i think this weather is playing a toll on us all i'm ready for spring arent you?!!?
hope things are going better
<3, em
Hhhmmm. I'm a very suspicious wife and I know that my cat claws would have been out that evening. It's amazing how we can spend days stewing over something and remain clueless what it is! At least your entry has gone a ways to sort out the source of the blue funk. Thanks for sharing!
Love,

Writing does help make you see things more clearly. I'm glad that your in a better mood.
Being a military wife is hard... I completely understand those feelings that you have.
Happy Valentines Day!

Gretchen

I'm sorry to hear you had the cloud hanging over you but I'm relieved to hear you figured out what was wrong. That's the worst when you have no idea.

Glad the fog has lifted and you are back on deck and ready to photograph some very hot bodies for our amusement when the windows go in on Thursday. Just remember to send any old, chubby ones off to the next job so as not to ruin our vista!!!!
Hope you had a good Valentines Day!
Hugs
