The Art of Lying to Yourself

A friend and I have been talking this morning and an interesting subject came up. We want to know if you ever find yourself lying. Not just to other people, but to yourself. Whether it be about your feelings towards a man, or your true feelings towards a friend, I'm sure we have all been in that situation at one point or another. How many of you have settled with less than what you want because you are afraid to hurt yourself, or someone else. Life is too short to be unhappy, and sometimes you just have to close your eyes, take a deep breath, and jump. It may be rocky at the bottom, but you would be surprised at who just might be there to catch you.

Christmas and Such...

First of all, MERRY CHRISTMAS. Second of all, holy snow! Baker got 6 to 8 inches over the weekend. I feel like an eskimo.


The topic for today: The "I don't want you, but no one else can have you" syndrome. It seems that every person I know has at least one ex that has this particular issue. They don't want to be with you anymore, but heaven forbid if someone else wants you. I just don't understand it. Then, they can't understand why you get upset when they try and talk to you about it. Then you get called a b**** or some other nasty name. Last time it happened to me, I thanked them and told them that they were the one that made me that way. Anyway, comments on this subject?

The Etiquette of Christmas Gifts

Christmas is less than 2 weeks away and the dilemma of buying gifts is weighing on my mind heavily. I know that there are a few of my friends that have, or are going to be, getting me gifts. In my household, money is extremely tight and I will probably not be able to afford buying anyone gifts. What are your thoughts on what to do when a friend gets you a gift, but you are unable to afford getting them one in return?
