Once again!

July 11, 2007

A wall could never stop my love for you, even if I tell my heart it isn’t true

I tell my heart that, because of all the pain that You give to me, it’s making me insane.

It’s so strong, and pure. It’s like an addiction, but there’s only one cure, for you to return my feelings I feel for you.

It’s true and real I want to be the one and only for you.

But you can’t return them, and it hurts so much. For my only wish, For a life time I wanna feel your touch.

To be there, when I’m hurt or crying. To be there wheater I’m healthy or dying.

And now I’m trembling, can’t you see? I only wanted to know what your need truely is of me.

And once again I said I love you. And again you hurt me once more.

I said everything to you, my feelings so real. But when you turned me down, for a moment I couldn’t feel.

I still care, with all my heart. I wish that we weren’t torn apart.

But you don’t feel the way I do, You know that fact is exactly true.

To tell the truth, you have no clue,

…….why I fell in love with you!

To Pay or Not to Pay!

April 12, 2007

So, my long lost twin sister posted a blog on her expectations of a date. Well here is a #22 & #23 for her and for all of us girls, I think.

22. Don’t invite me to dinner and then drop hints that you want me to pay for the meal

23. Tip well at the end of the meal and don’t bitch about it. Especially if they had good service.

Here’s my story behind this:

On Tuesday nights my girls go to their dad’s for a couple of hours. I usually go to the laundromate to do my weekly laundry, since I don’t have my own just yet. (but if you would like to send money to help a single mamma, that would be great. ;) ) Anyway, I get there and it is crowded so I decided, nah, go on home and paint some more instead. Well a friend of mine calls me up to invite me to dinner, and I was like, heck why not. So I meet him at the restaurant and we sit down, we order, talk, get our food, etc. Well as we are eating our meal he decides to go into this conversation how he is fed up with girls who think that because they are on a date with someone that it should be the guys responsibility to pay for the meal everytime. I was like excuse me?

Pig: I’m fed up with girls who think that just because they are on a date with a guy that it should be the guys responsibility to pay for the entire date.

Me: Excuse me?

Pig: Yeah. Why should we always pay for the date?

Me: Well, I’m not saying that I am a high maintenance girl but I like to think that you would try to WOO me a bit and want to spend money on a nice dinner every once in awhile.

Pig: Why don’t women try to WOO men?

Me: I got all dressed up for ya, isn’t that enough? HA…again trying to lighten up the mood.

Pig: Seiously, Carrie?

Me: Well PIG, I don’t expect the man to always pay. BUT at the beginning of a relationship, yeah I think it’s a nice gesture. It’s a way to show that you like to spend time with them no matter the cost. Now once the relationship grows, I’m cool with taking turns and paying. I am sure no matter what you will get your money back some way or another

Pig: Yeah right. If you think about it. Taking a woman out to dinner and possibly drinks and then a movie that could end up costing $100 or more each time you do it.

Me: Get a second job! HA…again….

Pig: Whatever. I just think it’s bullshit that men have to be stuck with the ticket all the time.

(more in the convo but can’t relay it all back exactly) But in the middle of this conversation the ticket was brought out and of course the waiter placed it face down next to him. See, the waiter obviously knows how it should be. LOL.

Anyway, I, the girl who got invited to dinner AND a single mother of two, I might add, reached over grabbed the ticket and said, “I got this one dear”! NO hesitation from him at all. He didn’t try to take it from me. Didn’t argue with me. Nothing. AND Then to top it off!!!

Me: Do you have $5 cash?

Pig: Yeah, why?

Me: I don’t have any cash, could you please leave $5 for a tip. (Mind you we just went to a local Mexican restaurant and didn’t get any drinks and our total for the meal was only like $20 something)

Pig: $5 !!!! That’s too much

Me: NO. See, usually people pay 15% of their total bill as a tip. I pay 20% usually which would be $4 for our bill, so what’s another $1 to leave em? He leaves the $5.

Pig: I can’t beleive you are making me leave $5 tip for a $20 meal!

Me: I can have you pay for the $20 meal and me pay the $5 tip…which one do you want? Your choice man!

OH and then to top it off….I didn’t get a freakin THANKS FOR DINNER until later in the evening on a text message!!!!!!!!!! Let’s just say…I haven’t talked to him since that evening. Well, ok…it’s only been 1 day since then but still. I’m playing hard to get man. HA!
