I'm Here So You Have Something to Talk About, Err, Not Really...

A favorite quote of mine is "I'm here so you have something to talk about"
The truth is.. not so much. I'm not a fan of being talked about..
Let me clarify..I mean gossiped about, talked about disparingly, badly etc.
I work in a business where most folks feel entitled to know all they can about you whether or not you are actually friends. I.E. THEY ARE NOSEY.
I still haven't gotten use to this. I'm not a hugely private person but there some things I believe aren't anyones business unless I tell them myself.
And, I would have more respect for someone if they just flat out asked me a question rather than gossiped/speculated/etc.
Which brings me to my next point...what's worse than someone you are not friends with gossiping/speculating/etc about you? Someone you consider a friend.
Same thing holds true in this situation..ask ME..don't ask someone else.
It really chaps my hide when so-called friends behave this way...Especially if you are over the age of 16. It is ridiculous. Grow. Up.

I didn't think this is where I'd be...

I just recently had myself a birthday.
Birthday are BIG FRIGGIN' DEALS in my family. And, I may take it a step further, you know, because I can. Generally, my birthday celebration lasts between a week and the entire month..depending on my mood. I make no apologies for it. You can either get on board or get off the birthday train, it makes no difference to me.
However, with this year's birthday came some perspective, or retrospective...basically it got me thinking.
"I am not where I thought I would be."
Truthfully, who is? But we're not talking about everyone here.. we're talking about me..or rather, I'm talking about me. I'm 29. Divorced/Single. and a whole lotta other stuff.
I'm a planner. In fact, I've been made fun of because of how much I like to plan. (yeah, I'm not speaking to those people anymore) Anywho, like I said, I love to plan. Big plans, small plans, vacation plans whatever. I'm the plan maker. In another life I'd adore being an event planner I think. Which is why, in my head, I made all these plans for myself. However, I never really informed anyone else, assumed "everyone" else would go along with it, and furthermore than God would just provide the path to make it all happen.
Yeah, I realize now.. STUPID GIRL.
Life is not about the plans I'm making.. it is about the plans that God has for me. This.. has been a work in progress for me.. but I'm learning..
Thankfully, he has been patient with me.
So no, I am not where I thought I would be..
but now I'm easing up on making the plans and waiting to see what the plan is...
