How to Deal?!

A collection of stories and events from my life that include things about my relationships family and all of the curve balls life throws my way.

Getting closer.


   I just finished my final for English!! I am very happy right now and I only have 2 more to go. I am almost at the finish line. !!! 
I'm getting closer and closer to the finishline.

 Thanks for the encouragement Tin Man.

Something bold and new.




    

   Sooo...... It’s been really interesting laity I find myself interested in new things and new people. I have a new friend and enjoy their conversation, but things are just getting started. I’m excited that school is almost done with. I will finally be able to go out again and really let loose.

I am supposed to go out with my best friend Anita, my friend Ryan, and my Ex because we are friends. I have been getting suggestions about how to satisfy my sexual appetite minus the guy. Well I gotta say it’s not the same. But we will have to see and try some alternatives...
Well I am on my way to a final, wish me luck.

Men are from Mars and women are from Venus




   I am not going to lie and really stressed out about some things. I have this friend ryan and I asked him what hoe does to just relax and go with the flow of life and he said , " I just dont let life get to me and I think about things that make me happy like friends and family."

What the fuck!! It may as well have been " Pink bunnies help me deal with life" I have fully come to the conclusion that men have diffrent issues than women and they dont even seem as bad. Womens issues have a category all their own because its so much and it takes a serious toll on us.

Even though men have simeler issues to ours it in no way compairs to the things we have to go through with ours.

Sometimes I hate being a woman because it makes things more complicated and I hate being emotional.!!!!

I think I would rather be from Mars than Venus sometimes.

Down to the underwire?



   

Like most people I have a dark side, the thing about me is I have a grand appetite for sex. This is the thing I discovered with my Ex. It was something that I always tried to ignore and I thought that once I did it the constant urge would go away it never did it just got stronger.

I am currently ok with being single it’s not bad at all but the hard part is missing and wanting that physical affection and attention. Tomorrow will be Tuesday which means that it will have been a week since the grand rendezvous I had with my Ex. If I was not busy and had the time I can assure that a week would not have passed in between sexual meals. I am not quite sure what will happen tomorrow.

He knows me and my appetite, and if I know him he will surly try to claim to want to "hang out" and that. That just hanging out as friends will only last for a moment until he starts to stir up a resting longing.

I am not usually the type of girl who just sleeps with a guy without commitment and it’s getting harder and harder to not become that type when neither he nor I want to let go even though we both know it would better for me, and he would have a great loss.

It’s getting down to the wire and if I don’t take action I will miss my window of opportunity to make clear my plans and demands. 

From friends to Complicated?!?!


 I saw Matt on Wednesday and didn’t get up the courage to ask him out for coffee and for that, I am currently kicking myself. 

Besides the fact that I didn’t get the courage to ask Matt out for coffee there is another reason why I did not ask him.

On Tuesday, I received a phone call from my Ex, we talked for a bit, and then he asked me if I wanted to hang out. I said sure. We had not seen each other for over a month and we agreed that it would be nice to see each other and just hang out as friends. 

About two hours later, we are sitting outside on the deck hanging out and talking. ( I made sure I looked hot but did not shave the leg stubble I had to help me refrain from any intimate activities just in case the opportunity presented it self) It started out weird He put his hand on my knee and then quickly pulled back realizing what he had just done. He apologized and explained that he had forgotten that that was not appropriate at that time since we were not together any more. I just laughed and said it was ok, and explained that knee touching was ok. At some point, I gave him a hug and later found him asking me for two more within 15 min. the last hug I gave him resulted in a kiss. A kiss that oozed longing from both ends.

Shortly after the kiss, we go inside and he decides that he wants to watch a movie. A Movie indeed. We watched the movies for about 10 minutes before we were all over each other. The opportunity presented itself and I said, “I don’t know I haven’t shaved since Saturday and have a bit of stubble. After I said this he proceeded to rub my legs and said that’s nothing and I really don’t care about that I just want you...

10 minutes later I found myself in the throws passion with my ex. It was the best sex we had ever had, it was more unguarded and animalistic. It was great. We finished and got dressed, finished the rest of the movie, cuddled and talked.

I am still feeling the after math of Tuesday a little bit in my thighs, hips, lower stomach muscles and for some odd reason my left arm.

Over all the night was really good but now the fact that that happened mucked up things and is making it harder to figure things out.

I'm young and stupid. I just couldn’t say no. I’m not sure what is next but all I know is that I guess I am going to have to learn the hard way.

So much for boyfriend rehab.

New Guy ?!?!



   There is this guy in my Written comm Class That I have taken a liking  to. His name is Matt. He is 20 years old and tall , a little scruffy , great sence of humour and has a verry nice smile. !! He is a mechanic but is in school so he is not a dud. He is always making me laugh and we have a good time when we are together. He also rides a motorcycle which is also hot but he isnt like a super bad ass which is good.

The thing is I dont know what to do.!! I want to ask him to join me for coffee , I mean there is nothing wrong with harmless fliritng and having fun. I dont know if this is the best time for me to be doing something like this in fact I know its probably not the best idea , only because my ex and I have not fully hatched out what we are going to do about our future together weather it be to stay just friends or give him time to grow up. Matt is diffrent from my ex in alot of ways and I want to see if there is any potential there for later and really get to know him better.

Any sudjestions? Pleas help!

AHHHHHhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!



    O wow the process of getting my financial aid for school is kicking my ass they ask for so much and the process is so long. !! I’m surprised they have not yet asked for my first-born child. Lol


 Sooo... A couple of days ago my ex called me and talked for an hour and a half. It was actually a nice conversation. We both agreed to just be friends and to see how everything goes. He knows damn well, what he did and the mistakes he made. He knows that he could have been better; he knows he hurt me and that he made a mistake. I think he also knows that he will not find someone who will be as supportive , kind , giving  , and loving like I was towards him and if he does that’s great but I’m the one brought him out , built him up , and got him back on track with his future. (He would not let me help with his bad habits though He misses me and asked to see me this weekend. We will see how this goes and what happens.

P.s I love the fact that his friends gave him shit for loosing me , they told him that he probably would never find anyone else like me!!!

I finally did it!!



.


   I finally did it, I finally was able to get my ass out of bed and take a walk early this morning !! The hard part now is making early morning walks a healthy daily and weekly habit. It will be a challenge but one that I am so willing to take on!!

I am happy that I am finally finding my way , there are going to still be allot of struggles but I know for sure that I will be better equip to deal with them and take them on.!!

I talked to my Ex last night!

That story will be for another time

Guess what ??

      I got the results back from my entrance exam and I passed!!! I am fully enrolled in the California culinary Academy!! I am so excited. I leave in early August and my first class is on august 18th!!

I still have not yet managed to get out of bed early enough to take an early morning walk but I’m going to give it another try tomorrow morning because I will get it. I have to because it’s going to be good for me in the long run. 

   To the very nice and supportive young women who give me advice and comment on my blog and give words of encouragement I thank you so very much and hope that you continue to keep up with my blog and give words of support.


Thank you,

New Stuff...



     I took my entrance exam for culinart art school yesterday , I think I did well I think I will be getting my results today so as soon as I find out I will let you guys know.!!

I mentioned in an earlier blog that I am puting myself through boyfriend rehab , well to start that I went and bought myself some nice healthier food to start treeting my body with more TLC. I went to bed earlier lastnight which was a treat for my body also , because usually I go to bed super late like in the am hours. So I have officialy started on my quest to get and give myself the things that I really need. For a long time I put my needs aside for someone who did not appreciate the effort and the things for our relationship. So....

On with the good stuff and the progression. Tommorow morning will be a battle to get up eraly and go for a walk ..

Any advice for that last one is welcome because I have a hard time getting up in the morning.

Rehab...


 
 

I am admitting that I have a problem. I dated a person we were together for just over 6 months and I decided to break up with him because he didn’t know what he wanted. It was my first relationship and it held allot of firsts for me. The person was not exactly the best person for me, he had habits I didn’t approve of and did things that pissed me off but was very sweet when he wanted to be. What his friends thought of him was more important to him than our relationship. After I broke up with him, I felt horrible and wanted to take it back because I didn’t think I was going to be able to get anyone else better later. That is my problem and I am putting myself through rehab. (Boyfriend rehab)

I am making a list of things to occupy my new free time. (rehab activities)

1) Read books from my book list
2)Take my chubby ass for a walk and exercise more
3)Star working on writing my book again
4)Focus more on school and my goals
5)find a new job
6)Take time to love myself more 

I have a problem . I don’t give myself enough credit for the things I do, I don’t love myself as much as I should. As a result, I lower my standards and take less than what I deserve. I Amber D W vow to fix this. I promise to always move forward and never look back.

not sure......




  

As you know, I broke up with my boyfriend last week. It’s been up and down with him since then. We promised to be friends and that was put into question earlier because he said he wasn’t sure if he could do it. Nevertheless, we settled it and we are going to be friends. the thing is I want to get back with him really badly but I think it’s because I miss the physical attention  , the cuddling , the making out , the way he could caress me , the sex. I miss it all. I am not sure if I miss our whole relationship though. We are suppose to talk about getting back together but part of me is so mad at him for not making the effort the first time that I am not sure if he can do better the second time. I am not even sure if I want a second time. I think about him constantly, about the good, the bad, what could have been done better and so on. I just don’t know what to do..... I am confused and somewhat scared of what might happen the second time.


Help!!!!!!!!!

Things are starting to look up...





  

My uncles Funeral on Saturday was absolutely beautiful I never knew he has accomplished too many things and had done so much for so many people. My uncle was a social worker and did allot for his church. It was just wonderful. I’m feeling better about the fact that he has passed and know he lived a good life....

 On to another topic things with my ex boyfriend are going well. We have been talking and we decided that we were going to be friends, because when we were together that’s what we promised we would do no matter what. We are supposed to see each other this week. We are both a little nervous about it though, he admitted to no knowing how he was going to greet me if he was going to shake my hand or what. lol I told him that the least he can do is hug me. He admitted to missing me allot and constantly thinking about me, he apologized for being a dick and for bringing up the threesome idea which he claimed was a joke. (Raising an eyebrow). He called yesterday and we talked for a while it was a good progressive conversation for our new friendship; at the end when we both had to go he didn’t fail to tell me he loved me. I am not sure if he was consciously saying it or if it was a reflex from when we were still together. There is chance we might get back together but he really has to prove himself to me for me to say yes so being friends is a good way to prove that to me.

On the other hand if my ex-boyfriend decides that he does not want to change his ways there is someone else I have my eyes on , he is a delicious 6'4 man who is a good friend of my family ( he is my mothers oldest friends son) who I saw again for the first time in years . We sat and talked and he is everything I want physically but I have yet to find out more about him. Did I also mention that he is eight years my senior..... He is 28 and I am 19. O well age is just a number and I am almost 20 years old any ways.

Feeling better.



    I am starting to feel better now that the week in coming to a close. There was alot to deal with and I am happy that things are niw starting to subside. My uncles wake is today and the funeral is tommorow , things with my boyfriend are also starting to look up as well. I am taking today to just relax and find myself again. Not a bad thing for anyone to do , I highly sudjest it.!!

The smily face wont stick....




    So this week in turning into hell.... My uncle died on Monday and my boyfriend and I broke up lastnight. I keep trying to pretend to be happy like nothing is wrong because its what I always do but this time its not working. !! The smily face wont stick this time , I'm falling appart on the inside and everyone is going to be able to see it this time. Im trying to hold it together but its falling appart quicker than I can pick up the pieces.

School in Cali!!!!




    Alright so about a month and a half to two months ago I decided that I am going to go to culinary art school in Cali! San Francisco to be exact. I am truly excited and cant wate to go. Remember when I mentioned in an earlier blog that my boyfriend was going to art school in cali also (San Francisco to be exact) , well it turns out that our school are are less than a 5 minute drive away.! Kind of exciting ! Its the plus side to my buys day , finding that out and all. There is so much that I am looking forward to from school. From Wisconsin to California is a big change but im willing to make that change for my future , cooking is something i love to do and i feel that i express myself well through it.  The fact that my bf will be in the same city is a plus but it isnt what this whole thing really is about. Because weather he ends up going or not I am still going , even if it does mean leaving him behind.

My first encounter..





   Today I had my first encounter with death. I went to visit my dying uncle today since he has only a few more days left to live. I expected him to look terible but when I got to his house there was something I didnt expect. My father , my sister and I arrived at the house we were greeted by everyone and told to go into his room and see him. We walked in and my uncle was skin and bones and every trace of joyfull life had left him , he sat there in his bed awake but didnt not respond to our arrival. He was in a compleatly diffrent world. Death was creeping in rapidly. My mother went to see him on wednesday and told me he was fully aware of her being there and was talking to her and hugged her. The fact that a few days made such a big diffrence in him shook me. Death was creeping in at his feet literaly. His feet were hardening up and his hands were cold. My father said a group prayer for him and I couldnt help but to come to tears at the thought of my uncle slowly dying before my eyes and being in the same room with progressing death.

not even half way.....

nbsp;  It is not even half way through the year 2008 and alot is happening already. My step-grandfather and his step son (my uncle) are both dying of cancer and it is garonteed that neither of them will make it to see 2009 . My grandfather has less than a year and my uncle has less than three months. I am  sapose to be going to san francisco for culinary art school in  the new school year and my mothers wifes daughter is trying to split them up even though my mother is having a hard time dealing with loosing two people she loves dearly. This is way too much to handle for only being the fourth month in the year.

Im breaking..........

stop in and drop a line or two




    Thoes of you on my friends list who feel like you might want to e-mail me send me a message asking for my e-mail address and I will be happy send it to you.

37 , 19 , Birth Order



  I was talking to my 37 year old sister and some how we got on the topic of weddings. She mentioned to me that there are 3 things she is afraid of when she gets married . I asked my sis what these 3 things were and she tells me child birth , sex and giving head. After I herd this I could only laugh because this confirmed how diffrent my sister and I really are. My sister is a 37 year old virgin who thinks drinking any kind of alcohol is a sin , she is a bit introverted (but not with me , with me she is crazy) , she is very anal about organization and her work and she doesnt go out that much.She is also very business oriented. I on the other hand am a 19 year old non virgin who likes her grey goose every now and again , I am pretty out going and I am also pretty relaxed most of the time but not to the point where I dont care about things. I also have inherited the creative genes in the family and am the artsy coffee shop ,  writer type (even though my spelling sux . Hoora for spell check). The funny thing is my sister and I  get along so well , she is like my best friend but only i just dont tell her that I have done things that would disgust her , shock her  , and make her blush. I guess its that birth order thing coming into play , the second born child is always the wilder of the two.
