Ordinary Life
Over the past few weeks I've been this, that and the other and to be honest with you most of it is a blur. I don't know why I just can't think of what has happened over the last few weeks so in my thoughts I guess it wasn't anything special or out of the ordinary. Really when is my life ordinary? I just can't really pick out anything in particular ... well maybe one thing. My friend Christina has been coming over and spending time with me. It's so funny we bunker down in my room, watch TV, she does homework and we just chill. I feel like I'm back in school. I really enjoy her company. What is also good is her son who is about 15 is learning to play guitar. David plays the guitar so he's teaching him out to play, where to place his fingers ect. This kid is also in JROTC so he's interested in the military and with Dave's career choice of being a Marine its great the two of them met. I think Dave is a real role model for him. I think every kid should have positive role models in their lives besides their parents.Remarkable
Today I find myself a remarkable person, I have friends that always trip out on me for the friendships I've come to have with people I've met online. Some of them don't realize I met my own husband online. I'm not saying that all people online are safe!!!
I met David, my husband, online just before he deployed to Iraq.. we started out as friends. We were going to be penpals. Well obviously that didn't go well.. we became more than penpals. Once he came back from Iraq after 7 months of his deployment he came down to Florida to meet me and my daughter Cassidy. It went really well, it wasn't just an online infatuation as some people had thought. Even my father thought I was crazy! Even though I met my first husband online as well and it didn't end well obviously we are divorced, it was a good relationship at first, just moved into a bad one later. We have a wonderful daughter from it and I'd never trade that. Anyway.. my point here is just because you meet someone online doesn't mean you can't meet them in person. You know need to know who you are meeting! I've been lucky all the people I've met online have been the outstanding wonderful people I always believed them to be. Cyndee was another person I met online and she opened her home to me and Cassidy when I was traveling.. I met my dear friends Elliot, Bubba, Jordan, and Eileen all from a chat group we call our online family.
I met some fools online that I dated too.. they aren't worth mentioning since they really aren't apart of my life anymore. But again, I figured out what details to trust about someone and who not to trust. William Shakespeare I think said it best when he said "Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none."
Ok back to why I am remarkable. I have a friend whom I met online staying with me until - umm.. I don't know. LOL I know Friday he's traveling not sure if he'll be back. But what I do know is that since he got to Florida he has been sleeping in the car with 2 of his friends. I'm so sorry but that's just not right! So I kinda told him to come down to where I live and stay with me. We went back and forth over it but finally he's here. I might not have the best accommodations since they are sleeping in a packed room right now but they have air mattresses to sleep on they can stretch out. They are in the air conditioner and not some hot car. ugh.. I just feel like the things I do in life have a purpose, never know what that is yet or will I ever know I don't know. But I feel good that even though I might have met this guy online 4 years ago, he's a good friend, one of my best friends. I only call people my best friend if I can share my deepest secrets to and not feel they will judge me. Well this guy is that and more.. he even calls me on my own bullshit! HA! That's hard to do, that I can tell you!
