I had my monthly one-on-one with my supervisor this week. It went well. I told her the things I am currently working on. She was pleased with my speed at completing the tasks needed to close out the month (financially speaking). I also told her about the one-on-one with Mr. CFO the week before. “We talk about you all the time.” She said.

All his life, he had known only one thing – go big or go home. In elementary school, he created the biggest piece of artwork, folded the largest paper crane, and even attempted to bring his teacher the largest gift he could find. Fast forward, he graduated college with a degree in fine arts and an aspiration to become the next Michelanglo – to create the most magnificent sculpture that would be viewed by passerby.

I feel so conflicted at times when someone reminds me that I’m a grown woman and don’t need permission from anyone to leave the house or go do the things I like, except somehow I do.

I have a problem with people meddling into people’s lives. Isn’t there a saying – “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”? I think this applies to meddling as well. According to my personal experience and all those movies and TV shows I’ve watched over the year, I don’t think there’s ever been a scenario where meddling ended well. Yeah, I understand sometimes we want to wish others well but meddling often make matters worse.

Have you ever ‘butt dialed” someone? (‘butt dialed’ means have you ever made a phone call that you weren’t aware of making, because the buttons on the phone got pushed by your sitting on them (in your pocket) OR having something in your handbag press against them?)

This prompt word for this week’s Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge is Divorce. For the past few weeks, I have been dealing with something that has something with my mom’s divorce from my step-dad. It’s been weighing on me and I’m hoping to talk to someone about this. Alas, there’s literally no one I can talk to in my real life about this.

Sitting at the edge at the bathtub, naked, bald, one hand clutching a bottle of bourbon, the other a bottle of pills, Alex felt sad, alone, and lost.

She opened her eyes and sat up. Where am I? What is this place? She wondered as she looked out the window of the house. The house was surrounded by wheat fields.

Deeper and Deeper we trek into the woods. We must be at least almost two miles in by now as my throat begins to feel parch. What does he want with me and why me? I keep asking myself as I focus on hatching a plan.

If the government offered to suspend all laws, and law enforcement for 24 hours, letting you (and everybody else) do whatever you wish… Would you be in favor of it, or not? (Credit for this question goes to Cyranny and her Daily Quickie Question)

Is it necessary to trust someone you like? (friends, acquaintances or co-workers with whom you have no familial ties)
No. As my former co-worker used to say, “Trust must be earned.”
Do you hold grudges? What do you do when someone really irritates you?
I do hold grudges sometimes. Not that I want to. There are some things that’s easy to forgive but hard to forget.
When someone really irritates me, I try to vent, get my anger out in the open before the anger turns to full-blown meltdown. If you follow my blog long enough, you’d know I vent my anger right here since I can’t do it in real life.
What’s the most sensible thing you’ve heard someone say?
It’s better to live in cooler climates than warmer climates because you can layer up to keep warm. In warmer climates, you cannot shed layers, otherwise, you would end up barenaked.
Is crying a sign of weakness or strength in adults?
No, crying is a bodily function and it certainly does not show weakness in anyone.
Good morning and thank you for joining me for yet another #WeekendCoffeeShare. Don’t just stand there, come on in.

Why do we dream?
I believe we dream because our minds are trying to tell us something, something we may not be aware when we’re conscious, or when we are having trouble pinpointing our desires even if it’s temporary.

The drawing was blinding. I couldn’t even touch it, let alone look at it. This is what I spent $500 for? I was expecting scandalizing photographs, detailing all those mysterious hours my husband has spent away on his so-called “work trips”. I was definitely not expecting this.
