What I’m grateful for, week 12 of 52

  1. Older sister had a birthday, we all got a ton of food. Surprise drive bys to drop off food are amazing even with no contact. A wave and remembering this person still exists and made the effort to drive through, great.
  2. Reconnecting with a teammate that’s been quiet and busy. It really reminded me that people mean different things to different people, and for me, people that can choose to be just them and still be good are great people.
  3. Our favorite donut place letting us custom order a dozen of their donuts off menu. Try Needtletail Coffee for amazing sourdough donuts, keep transacting with the amazing people that make them.
  4. The smallest e-numan with the smallest circle, and getting my favorite callos delivered as pulutan. I didn’t drink much, and really didn’t talk much, but I ate a lot. It almost feels like the before times, when I can just eat through a session and listen to people I love shoot the ship.
  5. Being able to tell the wife about something that really wigged me out this week because she was a big part of the wigging of the time. Keeping things in is bad you guys. If you don’t have a person to do this with, find one. Or pay one. Or make a pet listen. Or write into this 6 person audience blog like I do.

What are you grateful for this past week?

You are who your friends are… not! :P

In the case of my best friend since I can remember, we’re totally different.

Jules is a straight up girly girl with a penchant for dressing up and is actually good at the whole thing.

Me I can hardly put an outfit together, I always have something a little wrong, whether it be the wrong jeans, wrong shoes, or wrong bag.

She is an expert at putting on makeup and getting the perfect hair.

Me i’m lucky if i get a good hair day out of a month. And my mom applies any makeup you’d see on my face.

And to that i introduce Just Lianne, my best friend’s blog.

Makeup, getup. The perfect brush. Everything i know nothing about.

The Borrowed Time theory

Maybe I’ve been single too long, maybe I’ve just been looking at the negative side of relationships too often, or maybe I’m just a freak who takes her friendships too seriously, but the other day I came up with the borrowed time theory while on the way home from work.

What is the Borrowed Time Theory? Well it’s this idea of mine that the time our friends spend with us is only borrowed time from their significant others. Like for instance, they can only hang out with friends coz they have no plans with their SO. Or the fact that some people have to “ask permission” from their SO to go out with their friends.

Is it that ridiculous to think this?

Maybe yes, but I’ve heard the “I can’t go, we have a date.” reason quite a lot, for several years now. Maybe this is why I sometimes get jealous of my friends’ time with other people when they’re too busy for me. You have to admit I have a bit of a point. Coz a person with an SO always considers that person as their first priority, with friends coming a distant second, or third if you count family).

What is the upside to this theory? For those people who believe it, their SO can rest assured that they are the first priority in that person’s life (plus, no need for jealous fits or fights coz they know the aforementioned fact).

Perhaps this is why I’ve never been the jealous type when it comes to a SO, but when it comes to my friends I’m this paranoid eejit.

And to all those I call my friends, sorry. Hahaha.
