We are still not that busy at work - I was so hoping it would pick up, but so far it hasn't. This has been quite a slow year for use, not exactly sure why. The hurricane and the gas prices certainly have not helped. It is looking alot like Christmas outside - cold and dreary and supposed to start raining this afternoon and tonight. Unfortunately, still no snow.
We have another busy weekend planned - I love Christmas, but will be glad for some time to just chill out when it is over. We have a Christmas party Friday night that is themed "country and western." It says "come dressed in your favorite western wear - hats and cowboy boots." Ummm, I don't THINK so. The kicker is they are going to have a MECHANICAL BULL. WTH?? This should be quite an interesting party to say the least! LOL Saturday, we are having a family Christmas get together at our house (note to self - don't party TOO much at the western party, as you will feel like hell on Saturday). Everyone is bringing a dish and we will have a gift exchange. That should be fun, especially since we have three little ones in the family these days. Sunday, we have ANOTHER family get together - it is my grandfather's extended family - kind of like a family reunion, only they do it at Christmas every year. So there goes my weekend!
Brent and I were talking last night about one big difference in the two of us. My husband could CARE LESS what anyone says or thinks about him. He just puts absolutely no stock in other peoples opinion of him. He is of the thought that if people don't like what he does or says, then to heck with them. Recently, I have been made aware of some nasty comments some family members have made about me / him / us. I was telling him last night that it really did hurt my feelings. He can't understand why I let what other people say and think upset me. The more I think about it, the more I tend to think that his reaction is the better one - just let it go. And, like Brent said, every thing someone says about you, you could find something to say about them.
Oh well, what can you do?

I'm with you. I CARE ALOT what people say about me, but as I've gotten older, I've started to say, I KNOW THE TRUTH, GOD KNOWS THE TRUTH, and that's all that matters. It does hurt though. ALOT sometimes.

WISHING AND HOPING
I, too, used to be bothered by what others thought...I'm not a bad, mean, nasty person to anyone, why would anyone not like me. It was only after my divorce, that I began to realize that no matter what I did, I could never please everyone all the time, it was useless to try, and there would ALWAYS be someone who wasn't satisfied, no matter what I did. Now my attitude is, I am a good person, I am kind, loving, and I can sleep at night knowing I didn't intentionally hurt anyone's feelings, nor did I allow someone else to rule my actions. Practice, practice, practice...it will come in time. Good luck!

Wow lots of partying!! It still doesnt feel like Christmas down here and it sucks!!!!! Im used to snow, ice, slipping in the driveway literally freezing my behind off. Justin claims not to care but I know I do! Moreso when its about the rest of my family than just me. I hate seeing others treated badly as well.
