What Was I Thinking???

Pets needing a good home, haircuts gone awry, what a day I had...

Pets
I keep getting emails from well meaning friends about kittens and puppies that need to be adopted. I feel so sad! These are just adorable kittens and puppies, but there's nothing I can do about them! I met a great dog yesterday, she's about 12 years old, knee-high, beagle-looking face with wire-hair and black and white spots. I think, Back In The Day she was full of energy, but now she's rather subdued. She's friendly and gets along with other dogs. When you first meet her, she's all happy to see you, then she rolls over on her back to let you scratch her tummey. What a sweet dog! Her owner can't keep her, he got her by default when his roommate went missing. (Long story). I'll try to get pictures.

Haircuts and Lessons I've learned!
Yesterday, my friend and hairdresser, Brad (name changed to protect the 'innocent', LOL) called and said he had the day off, come on over and he'd cut and highlight my hair. I got there late as I had to get a pedicure (I HAD to get a pedicure~!) and he was hungry. We went to Woofs, a gay bar near the Lindberg MARTA station. We had some cocktails, some lunch, lots of laughs and Brad tried to get lucky. (I just love being involved in Gay Drama, NOT). The conversations we had there in the bar were amusing. Dating men, of any type, is the same. (I'm sure women are the same way, but I've never dated a woman, so I don't have first hand experience) They lie, cheat, don't call you, treat you like sh*t, etc. These guys were talking about what they wanted in a relationship and what they were getting in a relationship and it sounded like a bunch of women. We all want the same thing, and can't seem to find it, or put up with a lot less. I'm sure straight men want the same thing in a relationship, they just don't talk about it. (Which could be part of the problem!!)

We came back to Brad's house and he started highlighting my hair. Well, he was crashing pretty fast, so we just did some light highlighting and I went home. Next time, we'll do the cocktails AFTER the hair.

He had just gotten a Prince Albert. He's so proud of it. I didn't know what that was, he showed me, and now I don't understand why anyone would want to do that. Guess it's a Gay Thing.

Job Hunt
I applied for a few jobs yesterday. I'm loosing my motivation. I can't lose my motivation, I'll lose my house. It's very hard to keep sending out emails and not hearing anything. I guess networking is the thing, and I know there are groups out there, I guess I have to look harder. There's a lot more in play here than just not working. There's self-esteem, goals, future plans, and the Reason For It All. And when you were having questions about any of these issues while you were working, when you're not working they all become amplified.

More to come...
As things happen, I'll be posting. Thanks for taking the time to read. You're opinions are welcome but if you have to start calling me names, don't bother, I won't read them. As my Dad says 'Opinions are like a**holes, everyone has one.'
