Why I’m pretty sure I shouldn’t have kids

So I used to think I’d be a mom. I’m Hispanic. We have kids. It just made sense. I got married and was sure we’d have kids… obviously waiting a few years first… having had some time to ourselves. Obviously, it was a good thing we waited cuz it all fell apart. Divorce was difficult enough. I’m glad I didn’t have a child. I’m glad I didn’t drag a child through a divorce. And I’m glad I didn’t have…

Apparently I’m an explorer of sorts… Albeit a slightly high maintenance one

So I’m having a conversation the yesterday about traveling & my friend tells me that she & her husband would like to take a cruise since she’s never been on one. I haven’t been on one either but would like to experience it… It’s on my bucket list. I know plenty of people that have been…and some that go almost annually. So this friend of mine says that her brother & sister-in-law went on a cruise…

OK so a dear, sweet friend of mine for married less than 2 weeks ago and her dress was STUNNING! Well she’s ridiculously gorgeous anyway and the dress on top of Fer being Fer was just breathtaking! She had sleeves with lace & some beading in the arms, not too much. And the skirt was full and flowy. See photo below.

I told her that IF I ever get married again, I’m going to be needing that dress.…

Ok so I THINK I mentioned that I am working at H&R Block as a tax preparer. It’s almost over. 2016’s Tax Day is April 18th! Almost there!!!! Anyway, I’m unsure about doing it again next year and the reasons make me feel like I’m lazy. Or maybe immature. Idk.

1) Too much work! So to continue to be a tax preparer, I have to complete “Continuing Education” credits. *sigh* I already took a class for…

Reunited… And it feels so good!

So Mari & Jhess came up to Ohio again on a holiday weekend. Last year Jhess came up & then Mari. Their visit overlapped by like an hour so it was not possible to get all 4 of the Unpronounceable Nomads together. This time they came together! So in May I posted of our “Tripiversary”… Travelling together a year after our first trip together. So these autumn gatherings we’ve decided to call our ”…

So this is what happened the other day in the group text I have going with my roommates:

Eirel: So FYI Fri the 29th my mom is having my family to our deck for dinner. Pre wedding stuff. She just told me. Yay!

Hannah: Haha Ok

Nichole: Pre wedding?? Wait what??

E: My brother Andy is getting married next Saturday. So the Friday before the family is coming over and having dinner.

N: Ohhhhh I thought…

Our night included watching "Call The Midwife", eating pizza, drinking assorted adult beverages, then watching some "Friends". And then Hannah broke out the "Friends" trivia game. Good times... For me anyway. I remember like EVERYTHING! So next time, they're playing without me so they don't lose.

Hannah: I think I want glasses.

Nichole: You would look SO Sassy!

Bonnie: Do you need glasses?

Hannah: I don't know. I haven't had my eyes checked in like 8 years. (to Nichole) I like your glasses.

Nichole: Whatever... I look homeless!

I'm watching an episode in Season 8...Rachel's baby shower...and Phoebe tells Monica "I know you don't like it when people are mad at you."

That is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO me! I HATE when people are mad at me. I hate not being able to smooth things over. But I guess sometimes that is my own fault because I just try to be extra nice so they can't POSSIBLY be mad at me anymore. I don't like confrontation. I really should talk to the person. Granted, I don't often have people mad at me...which is good :-) Although, that could be that people are mad at me and I just don't know it. Is that good or bad? If I know about it, I'll be all upset and wanna fix things but I won't cuz I hate confrontation. But if I don't know, that is also bad because that person might harbor resentment toward me. Hmm...no winning here, is there?

Also, I really l like things cleaned in my own slightly OCD way. I reorganize the dishwasher when my roommates have attempted it first. I totally get her "The tag of the comforter shouldn't be on the top but on the bottom"...at the foot of the bed. Duh! Who would make a bed any other way?! I don't mop...I clean my floors on my hands and knees so I don't miss any of the dirt.
