There once was a Princess named Cupcake. She lived in a beautiful condo with lots of nice toys. She would laugh and play and have fun every day. She had loads of pretty shoes and purses and more friends than she ever had time to play with. One beautiful day, Princess Cupcake fell in love with a boy. Things were going great, they would go out and have fun, shop, play games and see movies. But, it seemed like Princess Cupcake put way more into this relationship than Prince Harry did. Could it be that the lovely Princess loved the Prince more than he loved her? How is this possible? She is FANtastic and everyone loves her. She's pretty cute and has the best personality of all the little Princesses in the land. But, one day, she realized that Prince Harry was not the one for her. This made her a little bit sad, but with this revelation, she had an epiphany.
John Lennon said that all we need is love. Princess Cupcake thinks that all she needs is herself. She got tired of trying to figure out all the Prince's in the land.

Things to be miserable about?
Today, I was in a store and there were a few things in there that I thought were cute. They were a few things to stow here and there through the house. Just what I need, right? If you've been to my house, the answer is no. Although, I could use a few things to hang on the walls. They are a bit bare.
One thing I did find that I thought was interesting was a book (of course) that I had never heard of or seen. It was called 11,002 things to be miserable about. I thought to myself, surely this isn't really what this is about. So, I opened it up and glanced at a few pages. The first thing I saw listed was "men who beat women." The next thing on the page was "women who stay with men who beat them regularly." There is not any pre-text or explanation. Just a list of all these things that make the two authors miserable. It's just a paperback and if you look at the book pages all closed together, they make a sad face. It's kind of depressing.
One thing I thought funny to be listed was tripe. Have they ever even tried tripe? It is supposed to be an amazing delicacy in some parts of the world. It just makes me wonder if these people actually went and witnessed or experienced these things. Did they take a survey of a sample population? If so, where did they get this test group? Did they actually do this statistically or is this truly a work of what they assume they would be miserable if they had to partake.
Me, I have a few things to be miserable about right now. One, I really don't want to talk about, but if the person involved is reading this, he knows what I'm talking about! The second is the big old mess with my car and it's contents. I have the car portion solved, but not the contents. That's where it's getting a bit tricky. I know I really shouldn't be miserable about anything. There is nothing I am able to do about either of these events in my life, so I just have to turn it over and hope that whatever comes out of it is going to make me a better person.
I have seen several people post some version of this quote on their status. Basically it says that I shouldn't make someone a priority when they don't even make me a consideration. This is most definitely paraphrased, but I really need to get that through my thick skull! Maybe one day, I will be able to get all this behind me and move on. I guess I'm just having one of those weeks where I feel like Sally. I just have one question. Where's my Harry?
Talk to me soon...

What I learned yesterday
Yesterday, I took a bit of a road trip. I went to Huntersville, North Carolina to go to a book signing. It was about three and a half hours, but totally worth it. I got to meet Jen Lancaster! She is completely amazing and it was such a great honor to meet her. She is totally just like I imagine her with reading her books. I learned a bit about myself with the seven or so hours in the car. I'm sure you are on the edge of your seat, so here goes.
1. Jen Lancaster and I would totally be besties if we lived in the same city. It's almost as if we have the same personality. Now, I realize this could be analyzed in one of two ways. First, I have such a high opinion of myself that I think I'm as witty and amazing as Jen. On the other side, I could think that she was only as funny and awesome as I am. So, I think we're just going to meet in the middle on this and say that we're both pretty stinking funny and we're both FANtastic. Yes, with a capital FAN!
2. I have a lot of hot air.I kept having to put on the defrost for the windshield and at one point, even for the back window! It was a bit embarrassing. At least if someone else was in the car, I could blame it only half on myself, even if it really was all me!
3. There are lots of lost treasures on my iPod. With all that time on my hands, I just hit shuffle and let it ride. I found a ton of stuff on there that I had forgotten about. Beverley Mitchell, The Flaming Lips, Infinities End, Tyler Hilton. Man, I have such a variety of music on there, that there is something for every mood and moment.
4. I don't know nearly enough about the Bravo Housewives. Apparently if someone asks you if you're on Team Bethenny or Team Jill, you need to have a good, valid response to this. As well as supporting arguments to back up your reasoning. Apparently I would also need to know which city these people are supposed to be involved with.
I'm sure there were many more profound proclamations that I made about myself and my habits while on my little trip. But, that is all I can recall. It's not like I was able to take notes while I was driving! I'm sure there will be more revelations to make in the future, but I'm sure this was enough for now!

H is out the door
Well, I talked with H today and ended things. I've been investing way too much into this There's only so much a girl can put up with and keep her dignity. I think I am desperately in need of a spa weekend. Anyone want to meet me in Arizona for the weekend? Nothing like the desert to rejuvenate me and get me back on the proverbial market.
Any suggestions? Feel free to send goodies you think will cheer me up and make me forget about him. Actually, I'm giving him way too much attention with this. I didn't get too emotionally involved, so I guess I should just forget about it all.
I learned a long time ago that I shouldn't ever have to depend on someone else to support me or to give me anything that I may need in life. Thanks to the one guy who taught me that lesson, I think that he may have just ruined me for any future relationships I will have. You know who you are, I won't name names.
I guess it true...No one puts Baby in the corner.

How much is a girl supposed to put up with?
The million dollar question is how much should I put up with. Boys can be quite silly at times and not realize what is standing right in front of them until it is too late. Yes, I think I'm fabulous, but I guess not everyone does. Am I beating a dead horse?
So, I've been seeing someone. We'll call him H. It seems as though I'm putting way more into this relationship than he is and I'm wondering, at this point in my life, do I want to put up with that? I guess I have to figure that out for myself. I need to go do some analyzing.

small life crisis?
Who decided when we were in what stage in life? Most people go through their mid-life crisis in their late 40's or early 50's, right? Well, if that is mid-life, what are your 30's?

Ugly Betty?
I had the strangest dream last night. The cast of Ugly Betty was there and I was Betty. Now, I am not Latino, I have blonder hair and I do not wear braces. Now, Daniel Meade was my boyfriend, not Eric Mabius, Daniel Meade. It was funny because everyone in the cast was their cast member, not their original selves.
It was really weird because there were a bunch of people from high school there too. Not people that I was really close to, but like sisters and brothers of people I were friends with. So, we're all just friends, we didn't work together or anything. One night we were hanging out and decided that we would go out of town for the weekend. We went to some huge mansion, think Biltmore. It seemed to be miles and miles long and so many stories that I couldn't keep count.
Daniel and I had this relationship, but we hadn't gone public with it. We didn't see a reason to until we figured out what it was or if it even was anything. But, we weren't seeing anyone else, out of respect for each other. So, on this weekend away, we just stayed apart to not ruffle any feathers with our friends. But, he had the nerve to sleep with someone else the first night we got there. Later that night, we snuck down to one of the bottom floors and started kissing and he tells me what he did. He said he was keeping up appearances of his reputation.
That's pretty bad if even in my dreams my guy cheats on me!
