What person do I admire the most and why? Do I see these qualities within myself? Mankind viewed by mirrors or peers may be a god, godly or god-like but nature, (Religion/God), will always have the last laugh. Amen.-Gary Youhas

Significant Illusion

Have you ever found yourself in a situation that you weren't sure if you could escape it completely, at least on an emotional level?� What are the steps needed to break that bond when it is one that you allowed to happen?� What if you truly know those steps already and yet, your heart is in a massive tug-of-war with your mind, then what?

Unauthorized Expectation

On Friday, Valentine's Day, a very dear friend of mine made me face the truth, something that I have been denying or flat out ignoring for over a year now.� First off, this friend and I are not intimate.� We have known each other for quite a few months, but only recently started hanging out.� The truth that he made me face was an arrangement that I currently have with another friend, a room-mate.� Our arrangement has been going on for well over a year and it is something that my new friend wants very much to take the room-mate's place in the intimate department.

The arrangement that we have really does not exist.� Occasionally we have sex and may end up at a club together, but that's all it is.� When we are at a club, he will acknowledge me to a point, and yet do his best to maintain the distance, our secret, I am his dirty little secret.� When his family or friends are around, I am pretty much ignored, in fact there could be someone sitting on the couch that I do not know and he won't even introduce me to them.... that is how much of a dirty little secret I am.� Not worth mentioning.

The new friend said in no uncertain terms that he, the roomie, does not see me as a person, a woman or someone who has feelings.� I am merely seen as an opportunity to have sex when it is needed.

The part that hurts in all this is that I put my desired expectations on the roomie without his knowledge.� I wasn't looking for a relationship, and yet, I wanted to feel acknowledged for something more than just sex.� I didn't think it was that big of an issue if he would personally invite me out somewhere on occasion, sit next to me on the couch to watch a movie without it having a condition of sex, to have sex and wake up next to each other in the same bed, not for him to get up and leave the moment we were done.� In all honesty, it makes me feel somewhat like a slut or prostitute, the only thing missing is money left on a dresser or nightstand.

And yet, knowing that I don't really matter to him, knowing that I am not worth his time and effort, wanting so much to be seen for me, I have allowed him to take a piece of my heart, I am in love with this man and I don't know how to just end it, put a stop to this arrangement.

It is so Cold Out There

It is getting so cold out here in Minnesota so it has been especially hard to find things to do. It seems like there are just bars and movies, so I decided to do something a little different. I went to an outdoor ice skating rink and they totally had a bathroom trailer!! This trailer was like a normal bathroom but it could be taken anywhere. It was even heated which was the most amazing part of it. If all ice rinks had one of these, people would be doing a lot more often

Rochester Wedding Fair

Of course Minnesota is a frozen tundra all winter long. So since it will be unbearable cold this weekend, I am heading to the Rochester Wedding Extravaganze in Rocheter. This two hour drive will take me and my friend Kara to the wedding fair, where we can explore dresses, food and venues for her upcoming wedding. I am super excited to go to this event, but I am not excited about the time of day that we are doing this. Leaving Minneapolis at 7:00 AM is not exactly my cup of tea, but I would do anything for Kara. I hope that we get some amazing ideas that will make this wedding the best day of her life. Who knows, maybe I will find some ideas for a future wedding of my own.

I headed out to the food truck fair last weekend and it was amazing. The food was great and the weather was even better. I couldn't get enough of these lobster tacos that I got, and I event purchased some broccoli mac and cheese. The good news is that my friend was working one of the food trucks and gave me the skinny on cleanliness. When you think of food trucks you don't usually think clean, but they all had to have these portable sinks like this one.

Ugh...I have to Change

Dear Love,
�

That's the picture that finally made me want to change. �I had been doing the same thing and nothing had changed. �The scale was up and down within a a 15 pound radius but it NEVER fell below 290.

While all entries will not focus on my weight this one will. �It's what's stressing me the most right now. �My life seems like it's s a stress magnet sometimes. Three/Four years ago I lost about 30 pounds doing Medical Weight Loss but since I have always exercised at least 1 hour a day I stopped because I was always tired. �Almost passed out a couple of times. �Not enough calories for me. �I just didn't work for me.

Two years ago I lost 50 pounds in 6 months doing Weight Watchers it was a great program while I did it. �Then life happened and I could not afford it anymore plus stress and ALL of the weight was back on. �That freakin sucked!!

I have now been looking at a more permanent and feasible way to change my life. I have become a fan of a few of the FB pages and have started following them. �I have read the book and am ready to start. The change is called Trim Healthy Mama. �I am ready for a change and tired of being this way. �There's no more looking �back only forward!!

Wish me well!!

Right Timing - Unanswered Prayers

Ecclesiastes 3:7
"...a time to be silent and a time to speak,"

Picking the right time is crucial. There is a certain time when a parent should correct the child. Don't do it in public because it will only embarrass the child and it will not learn from being so distracted by everyone staring at them. As a child, we wait until the proper time to ask for permission or to tell mom and dad that we got a lower grade on something. The majestic way God has created our brains.

Yet we have this crazy expectation that God has to answer our prayers immediately. Key things to remember 1. We are created in HIS image 2. He gave us this sense to be able to distinguish when/where certain things or conversations should take place.

Know that he has a plan, he is in control. He knows when the best time to let us know or experience something is. And he knows when to be silent.
