Wow! :-)

Before work, yesterday morning, I noticed that almost the entire parking lot at Sears was taped off with yellow Police tape & there were several cops scattered around. I had no clue what was going on til I got to work. Apparently, a man had shot himself in his car in the parking lot there & they'd discovered him around 7:15 am. That was a little bit disturbing...seeing as it's 5 minutes away from my house! :/

Then later at work, Cindy & I were outside, having a smoke. She started telling me that she wants me to go to SIBA this year! hahaha SIBA (Southern Independent Booksellers Association) has a major trade show somewhere in the South every year. This year, it's in Daytona. One of the days is going to have dedicated classes/discussions on Internet Marketing & since I am her computer geek...LMAO...she wants me to go! ;-) It's being held Sept. 24-26 so it's still a ways off. We'll see what happens, I guess...but I was still flattered! *chuckles*

I *officially* met the neighbors last night. haha I've been speaking with the man pretty much since they've been there. We speak every morning & night basically. I've seen the wife & daughter several times but never spoken to them. I actually met the daughter, Samantha. She's probably 14 or so. AND...I met Biscuit!! AHAHAHAHAHA Little Jack Russell/Bichon mix pup...TOO freaking cute!! He was sitting at the fence, watching me. Finally, he asked, the next time I went out, if Biscuit could come over...I said sure! lol Biscuit got ALL excited! *giggles*

I was gonna go get my hair done today, make Wal-Mart & Publix trips...but...I think I've changed my mind! Even though I slept from midnight til 8, I'm so freaking sleepy right now, I can't handle myself! :/ Guess I'll just nap til I hafta get ready to go out tonight. I can't talk about what's happening tonight yet...LOL ;-p

I haven't seen Ariel in DAYS!!! :-( I miss her little constant talking butt! :/ She was never really staying here--she'd just come in for visits, long enough to piss Sebastian off! lol

Sara has been totally MIA. No more on & off on Yahoo (she's put herself invisible to me, too, now, apparently). Not been any action on FB either. No texts. Nothing. And...it's fine. *sighs* I will always miss her, I suppose, but, at least, this way...I'm not constantly torn into shreds by her games. :/ It's terribly sad that she can't grasp the concept of friendship...but I've done all that I can in the last 3 years. It's time for me to stop trying. She was my last hold-out. Everyone else that's treated me dirty, I've walked away from without a glance back. Except for her. I think it was a combination of things that finally got me to make a decision. When she "flirted" that night & then the next night told me she only did it cuz she was drinking...& the turmoil that ensued...it felt WAY too "familiar" & it fucken scared me to death!! Then I watched Nick & Nora's Infinite Playlist a couple of days later...what I took from that movie was this: when the opportunity presents itself...rid yourself of those people who constantly abuse you! And that pretty much did it. That's when I started blocking her from stuff. I'm *STILL* here...I will probably always still be here (somewhere)...but I can't let her suck me back in again! Not for the games. I'm so over that! If she decides she TRULY wants to be friends & will actually commit herself to it...I will be ecstatic. But not until then...
