All done
This weekend, my fiancée and I wrapped up all that we need to do for the wedding. All that is left is tasting the cake and picking out a flavor.. we will do that tomorrow. She doesn't normally wear make up so it was fun for her to get a makeover at the clinique stand at Nordstroms. She looked so pretty with her light and natural looking make up.
Yesterday we saw "Anger Management" and I loved it. That is a great combination.. Jack and Adam. It brought back memories of those Mondays that I had to go to the Domestic Violence Classes. Some of you may remember them... I was convicted of harassment for interfering with utilities when after not being married and not living in the house for 3 years I called the power company asked them to take my name off of the bill.. when they told me that my only choice would be to turn off the power... I did that... well, the court thought that I acted poorly and sentenced me to 16 weeks of domestic violence classes. If you have seen the movie.. you will see the parallel. I did learn quite a bit about myself in those classes. The movie does a good job with how it really is. I remember sitting in class and having this one guy go off about how he wanted to kill the woman at the grocery store because she wouldn't get off the phone when he wanted to find some garlic bread, or the time when this one guy showed us a poem to his wife.. each verse started 'fuck you bitch." and it ended "I am going to kill you..." whew... and the one night when I was standing outside waiting to go to class and there was this POP... and a clang... someone had shot at us.. and the bullet hit a pole about 5 feet from me.
Memories :) actually, I did get a lot out of those classes... as Adam Sandler did in this movie. Some of us repress our anger.. way too much.. I did become very good at that.. Now I know how to stand up for myself. As they used to say in class "It's ok to get angry, we should be angry.. but it's how you handle it" Keeping it inside isn't good.. bottling it up doesn't work.
I have had a lot to be pissed about... but now.. I have so much to be happy about.. so I can let all of that stuff in the past just go... but nothing in the future is going to be let go..
Happy Monday!
