More of Life's Ups and Downs

I told you about a man friend of mine in my previous post: Life's Ups and Downs. Well, as time progresses, I am feeling more and more like he is not the right man for me. In fact, it is starting to feel like he may not even be such a good friend. For some time now, we have been friends, seeing each other every weekend when he was working, then when he went off work due to back back issues, we started seeing more and more of each other. Every day he phones and or we get together, usually me going to his home to watch movies or meeting downtown for coffee & tea. Lately he's even come to my home a few times, though that's not something he does often. He so often says how bored he is and sometimes when we part he says something about if he's bored he'll call tomorrow. The other day I was fed up with this "if I'm bored" he'll call or we'll get together, like if he has anything better to do I won't hear from him. So I got assertive and told him if he wants to call to share something, call... or if he wants to call to talk to a friend, do it... etc... but if he is going to call just because he's bored and has nothing better to do, then don't bother. The next day he didn't call all day until about 6pm. Still, I hear from him every day. Today he bought some blank DVDs and came out as I had told him I had downloaded a bunch of movies and would burn him some. He was obviously antsy and wanting to get his movies and get out of here, go home and watch them. I ran into issues burning and told him it will take a day or two to get it done, so he left. I'm feeling like it's maybe time to cut him loose... or even to kick him to the curb. This makes me sad as I do care a lot about this man, but I care more about me!!

Life's Ups and Downs

All my life I have felt like, while my sister's life is on a Merry-Go-Round, mine is on a great big old Roller Coaster. All the wild ups and downs that I have experienced, wow. Wome have been so awesome and exciting, then of course they were followed by the fast trip down to bummed out. Mostly these involved men, the wild excitement of love followed by the pain of the end of the relationships. Finally I just quit taking the chances, just quit going out with guys. Oh, I still have lots of men friends, but they are just that... friends, not love relationships. Life is good.

Lately it seems like my life is something of a yo-yo and maybe I need to go hang out at yoyoplay.com for yoyos,lol. One of my friends might, just might, be becoming more. He said he doesn't want a relationship and I said good, I don't either. We have been just friends. And I have 'more than friendly' feelings starting to raise their heads... sigh. Twice now when he was drunk, no he doesn't get that way all the time, but when he did, he talked about me becoming his ol' lady. Biker talk for girlfriend. The first time, when he was sober he claimed to not remember, the second time he said he had just been joking, just having fun. So each time the ups, then the downs of the yo-yo. Today he was sober when he told me he's getting tired of being on his own, something about when we get older we start to want companionship. I am trying not to read something into this than there really is, but I can't help but think "maybe, just maybe". He's not "perfect", not quite everything I want, everything I had on "my list", yet I like him a lot. I feel safer with him than I do with most men, more comfortable, and I trust him more than I have trusted anyone in a very long time. Somehow, even though he isn't all I had in mind, something about this just feels really right.

Reflections - Day 5

Our current photo challenge is hosted by Quilly. Sunday through Saturday, the challenge is to post photos of Reflections!

No, this is not where Mom & I live. It IS where Mom & I WISH we lived, arf, arf, arf. It's a home in the BX area of our city. There is a lot of lawn to mow, but if we lived here Mom could have her horse and it would mow the lawn... and fertilize it too. Arf, arf, arf.

Mom could sit on the picnic table and write while I played or laid near her. Stuff like that. We'd have our own park and we'd both get good exercise walkin' around our park every day.

Oh, and the house looks like it would be nice too.

Reflections - Day 2

Our new challenge is hosted by Quilly. This is a one week photo challenge until Saturday, so keep comin' back to see more.

As well as the bridge, mountain and trees, etc., reflected in the water of Kootenay lake, it reflects good memories. In May 2007, Mom & I went on a holiday to visit our friend Cam in Kaslo. While there, we went to Nelson. This pikture was taken there in a wonderful park where we walked with our friend Claire. She met Mom thru their blogs and when out visiting friends that live in Nelson, we were able to go visit woof them. They are all nice peoples and we sure hope we see them again some day.

Have a woofenderful week!!

A Two-Fur... Camera Critters & Reflections

This post is a Two-Fur!


Camera Critters web site

Our new challenge is hosted by Quilly. Today through next Saturday, the challenge is to post photos of Reflections! When Mom told me we had a new challenge, kinda like the Dragon Hunt that just finished, I hoped it would be hunting cats or rabbits... but it's just lookin' fur reflections. Maybe next time?!


In May 2007, Mom & I went to visit our friend Cam in the Kootenays. We also got to meet Kai who lived there, and Claire who was visiting from Scotland. Both 'friends' through the bloggisphere. On the way there, in the pouring rain, Mom stopped at Fish Lake (and a bunch of other places) to take piktures of stuff.

In this pikture you get to see Canada Geese going fur a swim... and you can see the reflections of their heads/necks in the water. Critters and their reflections... that's yur Two-Fur! Arf, arf, arf.

Have a woofenderful day!!!
Whoof, Bark!!
