Day 156: Games with Mikey

I love to hang out with my good friend Melissa and her son Mikey.  One of the things that Mikey loves to do is play games--checkers, Sorry, Monopoly, etc.  However, most of the time that we play board games or whatever type of games together, he wins.  And it is so frustrating!!! But today, I decided to go ahead and play several games with him.

Result:  I won several times!!!  He won as well.  I mean, I know I'm acting stupid here.  I'm getting upset about losing to a 7 year old.  But hey, my subconscious doesn't know that it's a 7 year old and not a 37 year old, right...?  Maybe some day I won't take it so personally when I lose a stupid game.  :-)

Day 155: OkCupid

Back before I started dating Carey, I was a member of okcupid.  I got several dates from it, and I even dated someone I met on the site for about a month.  I'm not necessarily in a hurry to start dating again, but at the same time, by not re-activating my account, I won't meet anyone from that site.  So I went ahead and re-activated my account.  And so far so good :-)

Day 154: Words With Friends

So.  I finally started playing Words With Friends instead of being intimidated by it. 

Result:  I am playing this with several friends.  Some games I am winning.  One game in particular I was losing very badly.  But I have accepted the fact that I won't get any better unless I keep playing.  And I have already improved dramatically :-)

Day 153: Breaking Up is Hard to Do...Or is It???

Today, I broke up with my boyfriend of 7 months.  As time went on, I realized more and more that we had different values and priorities and interests. 

I could have failed in the sense that I could feel like I made the biggest mistake of my life.  But I don't feel that way.  I know that I did the right thing. 

Day 152: Resume'? What Resume'??

So, I need to update my resume' so that I can apply for a volunteer/intern position next semester for a Field Practicum class I'm taking.  I haven't updated my resume' in two years, and I need to make a resume' that is more tailored to the fact that I am in school and wish to pursue a career in the psychology field.  So I decided that I would update my resume' today.

Result:  Yeah, that didn't happen.  I'm just afraid of doing a crappy job and then not getting a position somewhere next semester, or at least not where I really want to volunteer.  I could do it in the morning since I woke up at freakin' 630am, and I don't have to leave for Atlanta until 12:30pm.  Will I actually update it today?  Only time will tell . . .

Day 151: Phlinx

I am in love with this online game.  It's really simple--you are given a colored ball in a launcher, and you have to shoot it at the balls above to make at least 3 connected together.  They go away, and you have to get a certain number of other balls loose in order to make it to the next round.  That's not a good explanation, but it's close enough.

I started with the easy level and have now been playing on the Expert level.  (You can choose which level you want to play.)  I could very easily play on a lower level so that I would always win or would be more likely to win.  But I actually like the challenge of playing the Expert level.  I fail much more often than I succeed, but . . . I'm actually okay with that :-)  I've finally found something I don't mind failing at lol.

Day 150: Words With Friends

Today I decided to take a chance and download and play Words With Friends.  I am terrible at Scrabble, and I very rarely play (since I'm terrible at it).

Result:  I downloaded it.  And then I took a look at it, and I just gave up right there.  I thought that I would be able to play all of my friends at once, I didn't know that it would be a game with one person at a time.  And if it's not just one person at a time, I couldn't figure that out.

So yeah, not only did I fail at not doing well at the game, I failed at even playing at all!  No biggie :-)
