My ex and I still use the same Google Calendars. It works out great so we can coordinate who watches the dogs and when we can have people over when the other isn't around.
Would you find this event funny? "Go with Kelly to get Birth Control." He isn't Mr. Smart so there is a 50/50 chance of him being serious. This is the same guy, that while we were married, carried a strip of pics of him and another girl in his wallet.
I figured I couldn't let his joke go unnoticed so I asked him that night "How's Kelly?" He then proceeded to tell me it was a joke. And I proceeded to tell him with a straight face that I had no idea it was a joke and I was happy for him and Kelly. I was happy to see him happy and actually having sex(if you've been keeping up with my blog you'd know that he has denied me sex or any affection for years). I kind of figured it was a joke, but hoped it wasn't for the fact that it would of proved to me that he actually liked girls.
Opps! I don't think his joke went as planned as he politely excused himself and left for the store a bit upset.
My dad is very sarcastic and I learned early on how hold my own. I know sarcasm isn't a good trait so I've been working hard to not be so cynical and sarcastic, it's a work in progress. So just be warned if you try to play games with me, I can more then likely beat you at your own game or at least give you a run for your money. I may be a church going girl but I'm not young, stupid, and naive. I can hold my own, most of the time. But like anyone I can only take so much and put on a happy face for so long. So those people who are forever mean to me I do my best to avoid. On there hand there are those mean people you can't avoid. There is this women who works in the same building as me who has been harassing me for the past year. My boss owns the building I work in so we have an office there, but I don't have any co-workers. So I have no real connection to this women other then she works down the hall from me. She's not my boss so she's not paying me to put up with her crap. For a year I've been very nice polite and kept my mouth shut. I have even talked to my boss about her and he has even talked to her, but she just won't shut up. Then last week I finally couldn't take it any longer. I told her to her face as politely as possible with out yelling that I have had enough of her rude comments. And my boss was there to witness the whole thing. So far so good, she has stayed clear of me. Hope this lasts. My boss did ask me the other day if we need to find a new office. He is so sweet. He totally loves me and can't live with out me. I told him so far so good she hasn't harassed me since.
I love playing board games and card games and I can get pretty completive at times. In college we were know as the card playing queens. On the other hand I do not like mind games. I am a very honest and upfront person and tell it how I see it. I am also very good at changing and avoiding subjects. I probably should heed my friend's advice of not showing all my cards, but I figure I'm too old to play games, which gets me in trouble sometimes. (I'm learning that sometimes too much information isn't good either. I seem to overwhelm some people and make them feel uncomfortable.) On the other hand if you play me then "Game on."
I am much better at dishing it out then receiving it. That is another reason I am working on being less sarcastic. I just don't take joking well. I try to put on a good front, but a lot of times what people says hurts and isn't so funny.
Another lesson I learned in early on is if you "Talk the talk, then you must be willing to walk the walk." With this being said, I try not to joke around about things that I'm not serious about. This really catches people off guard because they don't know if I'm joking or telling the truth. Which is kind of funny.
