I almost forgot this.

After awhile you learn the subtle difference,
Between holding a hand and chaining a soul,
And you learn that love doesn't mean security,
And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts,
And presents aren't promises,
And you begin to accept your defeats,
With your head up and your eyes open.
With the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child,
And you learn to build all your roads,
On today, because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain,
And futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight,
After awhile you learn that even sunshine
Burns if you get too much.
So you plant your own garden,
And decorate your own soul,
Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you can endure...
That you really are strong...
And you really do have worth...
And you learn and learn...
With every goodbye you learn.

Thank you.

That is all.

Gratitude Thursday

I was trolling random blogs and saw this and thought it was a great idea... So here are all the "A" things I am gratful for.

Acceptance - From my friends that support me no matter what. It means more to me then you will ever know.
Apple Martinis - Especially the green apple martini at Morton's that is rimmed in cinammon sugar. YUM!
Anti-bacterial lotion - From Bath & Body Works cause it gets the "yuck" off my hands and smells good.
Autumn - I love the changing of the leaves and that bit of crispness in the air.
Air Force - For defending our country and sending my wifey's hubby home in one piece.
Artists - For giving me inspiration and making me think out of the box.
Accelorator pedal - Cause it allows me to pass your slow ass on the freeway!
Accessories - It's what seperates us from the apes.
Apes - For being so damn cute.
Acrylic - Without it I would never have nice fingernails.
Aerosmith - For being so bold as to mix rock and rap with Walk This Way.

Don't make me your accomplice

I seem to attract guys that are unavailable. Whether they already have a woman in their life or just not ready to really be in a relationship, I seem to be a magnet for them.

I have dated my fair share of the "not ready" guy. This is the guy that wants to have all the benefits of being a boyfriend, but is unwilling to put that label on it. He gives this really logical explanation that keeps me hanging on waiting for the moment that he will change his mind and want to take the next step. This never happens. Ultimately, I am just being used for my kind heart and willingness to participate in such a game. If you were to confront "not ready" guy about playing me, he would ferverently deny it. He would say that he has genuine feelings for me and that I have been a willing participant in this little life drama. And when he eventually walks away, he will leave me broken hearted and confused, wondering why I wasn't good enough to be his.

I also get guys that are with someone that tell me how wonderful I am and how "if only I had met you first". Cut the crap. You and I both know all this is about is sex. You will NEVER leave your girlfriend/wife for me. I have never wanted to be the "other woman". I know what it is like to be cheated on. I know what it is like to have another woman make moves on my man knowing that I am in the picture. I refuse to be part of another woman's heartbreak. Yet, I seem to attract these men that try and give me all kinds of stories about how they are currently on a break or trying to break it off smoothly. Bullshit. Call me six months after it's over and then maybe we can talk. Better yet, if your girlfriend is someone I consider a friend, don't ever call me. Friends don't date friend's exes. No, no, no.
