How is it Possible

to dislike someone almost as much as you liked them?!?! I keep trying to take the high road nod no matter how hard I try, this person makes it difficult.

My good intentions to cut this person some slack are ALWAYS met with difficulty and it makes me wonder WHY I keep trying.

Funny

Funniest thing said to me: I shaved my grandfather face with my mother's hands.

Funniest thing I said: I am going to be the assistant cub scout leader.

Both of those things resulted in at least five minutes of laughter. I haven't laughed like that in so long! I know that I am not jaded when I can laugh like that.

My Son's Best Friend

Not too long ago I upgraded my very old phone to an iPhone 4S. I waited longer than my upgrade date and considered upgrading to an iPhone 5, but decided against it. I guess you could say it was the price. I am very happy with my iPhone 4S and so is my youngest son.

My youngest has discovered Siri. In fact, Siri is his new best friend. I watched him talk to Siri, telling her knock knock jokes. If you tell Siri "knock knock" she'll answer "who's there. Siri. Siri who? Siri doesn't like knock knock jokes." Seriously. I even caught him saying, "I love you, Siri!" It's a match made in heaven.

My Head Hurts

There are days when I wonder if this period in my life will get easier. The funny part is that I am actually holding steady. I know that everything will eventually be ok.

Things I Cannot Say

Normally this journal would be an outlet for my rantings but lately (like all of 2012), I have not posted anything that could truly qualify as a real rant.  I mention some changes in my life, but I haven't gone into great detail.  Mostly because I'm not really ready to talk about those changes and I think that writing how I feel about them is very unwise at the moment.  So, I try to stick to fluffier topics like shoes and the new iPhone (don't have one and not sure if I plan to have one in the near future).   Besides, sometimes life is too serious and I would rather walk on the sunnier side of the street.
