Way to pimp out Dark's kids! Reading his posts about his daughters always make me think they are a female and more athletic version of the Boy.
When I tell him all of this tonight he is just going to shake his head and said "oh my god mom! Really? do you have to talk about me like that" and shake his head. He's a good sport.
Had to have the old Say No to Drugs talk with him last night. Nasty synthetic LSD going around that has already killed two kids (one was out of school but one was a junior at his school). So he spent the dinner hour listening to stories of our misspent youths. I think he is now embarrassed to be related to us.

This makes me laugh because my extroverted mother used to lecture me all the time about spending too much time focused on getting good grades when I should be improving my flirtation skills. She advocated pretending to be dumb because 'smart girls intimidate boys.' I figured if boys were so delicate they couldn't stand for a female to be smarter than they are, then screw them. I would use my intelligence to get a good job and support myself so I wouldn't have to spend the rest of my life pretending to be stupid. Then I grew up and found out my mom was an idiot.

I'm a fairly serious person, I guess according to some people I look "mad" all the time and they insist I smile more. DH did it to me recently so I sat on the couch staring at him with a really creepy grin on my face till he told me to stop it. What I'm just doing what you told me to do. He stopped commenting after that. Do you suffer from Resting Bitch Face? Oh. My. God. I've always suspected this about myself, and now you're telling me it has a name??! And look! There's even a video??!?! I've been diagnosed! Ha ha.

Omg. There was an episode on The Middle where Frankie told Mike he had "hostile resting face" and tried to get him to smile more.

I think I am pretty happy with myself. When I turned 40 I decided that I would try to avoid regretting choices or decisions because really, what difference would it make?
Being diagnosed with BC at 44 amplified that too....and now with possible endometrial cancer - to dislike myself would be refuting the life I have been trying to keep...so I am sad sometimes over the past but every day I have is a good day. I have lots of family and friends who think I am okay so that helps with liking who I am!

I think the distance thing might be an issue.

Why? I guess because I made many bad decisions when I was younger, and those have screwed up my life to the point that I will probably never be able to recover from them. I am "successful" in my workplace, but it's not that great of a job. No real money to be had, no chance for advancement, etc. I'm a good person, but I don't feel like that means anything. All that seems to matter anymore is how much money you make and/or what your title is. Aww....moon. I am sorry you feel that way. No one should feel like a failure ever! “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.”
As long as you're doing what you think is best at the time there is no reason to question or feel guilty over your decisions. thanks, beer. Unfortunately, I don't even have faith I'm doing what's best anymore. Moonie honey you are way too hard on yourself. We all make mistakes in our youth that we regret but hopefully learned from them. You are a wonderful caring person that gives a lot of herself to others and you should be proud of that.

I think a more important question is "does Bob Ross like you?" If you can answer yes to that, then the world is your oyster. However, I wouldn't be getting my hopes up if I were you.

I have teenage girls. Boys are an inevitability. You can do a lot worse than smart nerdy types.
