~* Day 4 *~

4. Something you have to forgive someone for. 


This is probably going to sound horrible, but quite frankly, there are a lot of things I need to forgive people for. Mostly, it revolves around people lying to me, taking advantage of me, using me, and not putting in what I put in (yes, I do expect you to give more than you receive - that's how I try to live my life). 


But there are those few other things as well. Being friends with someone I don't like ... I need to forgive and forget about that one. I try to remind myself that I can't tell people who to be friends with and who not to be friends with. But I have always had the opinion that if someone screws my friend over, I'm not friends with them, no second guesses. Even if my friend starts befriending and liking the other person, I normally don't go back to liking them. I just can't. I don't know why. So I need to forgive when it comes to my friends being friends with people I don't like or don't really want them to be friends with. I can't control that. (My inner control freak is dying right now!)


I'll also be doing a few other posts today - I love the link up/follow me days. :)

30 Days of Truth: Day 3

3: Something you have to forgive yourself for.

I am sure there is something out there that I have to forgive myself for. But maybe at this point, I just can't think of one specific thing. So here's a list of a few possibilities ...

• Crushing my mom's feelings when I told her I wanted to live with my dad the summer before 9th grade. 
• Causing my now-husband, "Babe", to hurt and not trust me in high school. 
• Treating my little sister like crap when we were younger - she had enough bs to deal with, and way too much more coming her way as she got older
• Not being able to support my mom when she needs help the most - I know I do what I can, but sometimes it isn't enough and I blame it on myself. 

Hmmm, not sure I really like any of those things. And honestly, they're not things that bother me on a daily basis. Just on days I'm forced to reflect on stuff like this, I guess. Hmmmm. Oh well. 

Monday Minute

So I've been trying to figure out ways to connect to more people since I find this relaxing and very much interesting. So I found "Monday Minute" from In The Land of Crazy and decided to give it a try. Let's see how this goes! :)

1. If you could interview any famous person, dead or alive, who would it be?  What would you ask?

I would love love love to meet Gerard Butler. OMG! He's absolutely gorgeous and I would be speechless. I have absolutely no idea what I'd ask. 

2.  You have to give up one thing for a month.  What would it be - car, guilty pleasure (ie. food, drink, fav. tv show), or sex?
Actually, right now, hubs and I are giving up all fast food. We're trying to get back in shape and since a gym membership is out of the question right now, cutting back fast food was a good place to start.

3.  Is there a word/phrase you say that you are made fun of for?  If so, what is it?
"Dude". I say it all the time regardless of gender, place, person I'm talking to. It just flows so easily and I've said it since high school. 

4. Which is a stronger emotion: Anger or Love?
Right now, I believe love is stronger. I can get completely pissed at my husband and not want to even be in the same room as him. But 15 minutes later, I want to hug and kiss on him. It never fails ... I just can't stay mad.  

5. Where was your first job.

I was a lifeguard at a water park back home. I started when I was 16 and stayed for 2 summers until right before the 3rd summer, I got a better paying lifeguard job at a local community pool. I got promoted to a deep water guard - which landed me the community pool job. I got promoted to "head lifeguard" in the first summer there and could've been pool manager in what would have been my 4th season - but I moved to be with my boyfriend, now husband.
