I promise, you'll enjoy the next one...it's a little weird, and I can't seem to come up with a title for it, but it makes an interesting read!<BR/><BR/>Also, I have two papers due by Saturday, and my days are so busy I haven't finished those, either! I'm looking forward to school ending in May. Loved the creative writing course, but don't think I'll be back for Psychology!! School has been way too time consuming with working full-time, cooking dinner, cleaning, laundry, taxiing everyone around...let's add holidays to that list (we celebrate everything)...I'm exhausted!! If I can keep myself up past 10 tonight, maybe I'll finish the post!! ;)<BR/><BR/>Take good care,<BR/>LisaDust-bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610355970669069345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624309.post-56398265337122342542007-04-09T12:28:00.000-04:002007-04-09T12:28:00.000-04:00Whenever you're ready chica.

I've just been really busy and unable to spend the time on the computer. Things should calm down a bit after next week, so I'll hopefully get back to my blogging, which I love. Please forgive me if I haven't been visiting your blogs lately...I have barely had time to visit my own!<BR/><BR/>I was doing a paper for school which I intended to use as a blog post, but my husband read it and felt that the material was too personal and "sacred" and he didn't want it published to the whole world (it was about a scar on my belly). It takes me forever to write in the first place, so I wasn't able to do two projects at once! Hopefully, I'll have a peaceful weekend and I'll get something posted!<BR/><BR/>Thank you both for your concern, and I can't wait to get back to visit you!!<BR/><BR/>Take good care,<BR/>LisaDust-bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610355970669069345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624309.post-32545933089868697152007-04-02T14:49:00.000-04:002007-04-02T14:49:00.000-04:00Lisa, hope all is well..it has been three weeks si...Lisa, hope all is well..it has been three weeks since you posted last..miss reading from you. tae care!Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17554754077324218426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624309.post-28848137615724404412007-04-02T12:54:00.000-04:002007-04-02T12:54:00.000-04:00Good Monday morning April 2nd, Lisa.

However, I'm a strong believer that most of the time, we allow ourselves to get "duped" because we are choosing to see what we WANT to see, not the actual truth of the situation. We ignore or make excuses for all of the red flags that come our way, choosing to depict the person as the "perfect" man that really only lives in our imagination.<BR/><BR/>I'll bet in hindsight, you can now see the signs (three years of "flirting", for one...if a man is genuinely interested in you for who you are, it's not going to take longer than a month or two for him to commit to something a little more serious than flirting). <BR/><BR/>You wanted to do something amazing for him so that he would see the wonderful person that you are--but it backfired. His pride got in the way, and he ended up resenting you. And in reality, it wasn't up to you to "save" him. This is where we, as women, mess up all the time! We end up doing heroic things for people who just don't deserve them or want them. Then we end up getting hurt and feeling like idiots!<BR/><BR/>Next time, maybe you'll find a man who's a little more responsible with his finances (although I'm sure this one gave you a hundred "poor me" excuses as to why he was in the situation he was in--and probably never took responsibility for it). Eyes wide open next time! If you constantly have to make excuses for your love interest or you have to defend him all of the time...you really need to rethink the situation. Your perfect man will not require you to come up with creative descriptions or reasons why he's not as "into" you as you are to him. He will be obviously wonderful and good-hearted--and he will treasure you down to the threads of his soul!<BR/><BR/>Take it from one who's been there...I, too, went through something like this many years ago. I hope I don't sound mean, because that's certainly not my intention! I know that sometimes, however, we need sort of a "slap-in-the-face" to wake us up! You seem like such a wonderful person, and I'm sure that there is someone who God feels is right for you out there somewhere. I can see that you feel it deep inside...and that seed was planted in you for a reason. It is meant to be. Just have patience to let things flow naturally...take each day as it comes, put it into God's hands and then let Him take control of the situation. We spend more time trying to create things, control them, when really they were in God's control all the time. We just weren't letting Him do what He had to do!<BR/><BR/>Take good care of yourself,<BR/>LisaDust-bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610355970669069345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624309.post-59350618551212486622007-03-29T21:28:00.000-04:002007-03-29T21:28:00.000-04:00Thank you Lisa !!!

And I suspect when I get over grieving the tender, strong, ethical, genuine man I THOUGHT he was -- I will agree with you, that when push came to shove, he was not a nice person at all...<BR/><BR/>May I be wiser next time in my choice -- and may the next man be READY and truly love me instead of just pretending to...Constancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02702046097986873803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624309.post-22644964362911381342007-03-29T18:21:00.000-04:002007-03-29T18:21:00.000-04:00Lisa,I'm shamelessly begging for help answering a ...Lisa,<BR/>I'm shamelessly begging for help answering a question I have on my blog today (3/29)...

As I told Betty, I haven't even had much time to visit my own blog! I wish I could say I was doing something wonderful that would change the world, but all I've been doing is trying to clean my house with my spare time...scary, isn't it?? Actually, we had a busy weekend. We were out Friday and Saturday, and this morning my husband and I watched "Pay It Forward" on TBS, a station that has the amazing ability to take an hour-and-a-half long movie and turn it into three!! So I stopped by for a few minutes now, just to check email and the blog. I'll be back on later when I have more time...there's too much laundry to do right now!!

I've been so busy, I haven't had any time to even visit my own blog!!<BR/><BR/>I'm so sorry for your disappointment...you know that when God closes one door, he opens a window somewhere. There are reasons why this is happening...and you should be so proud of yourself that you had the guts to even attempt to achieve your dream...a lot of people would not have even taken those first steps. For whatever reason, you are meant to be where you are right now. And I think acceptance is key here...you now know that your dream of the city is on the back burner, just as my dream of the country is...but you can accept that now is not the time. Once you've accepted that your home is where it is, you can worry about other important things in your life. And you can be happy in the "now".<BR/><BR/>Have faith...it'll all work out for the best!<BR/><BR/>Take good care,<BR/>LisaDust-bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610355970669069345noreply@blogger.com
