When I Was Younger...

Another Friday, time to Finish A Sentence!

When I was younger, I wanted to...

... look like her - ghastly, right (Source)

... be a fire fighter. (Source)

... or a vet. (Source)

... and get married wearing a big, white. princess dress (Source)

 Well, today, I chose to be brunette, can't stand hot pink, and love my curves. I got married in a small ceremony, wearing an ivory mermaid-style dress. I work in finance, and kind of happy that my girls want to do what I do when they grow up. They don't really know what I do, heck sometime's I'm not sure myself what I'm doing, but I'm happy with my life!

SO Cool!

Linking up with Kate at Can I Get Another Bottle Of Whine for Finish the Sentence Friday. This week's awesome sentence to finish:

I thought I was SO cool when... I would have braces and play the recorder. Yes, that's what I considered the coolest thing when I was a second-grader. Not much later I actually had to meet up with the orthodontist and got a retainer. Not nearly as cool as braces. And a year later, I signed up for recorder classes Tuesday morning before school. And, let me tell you, 10 third-graders semi-simultaneously feeping away on their recorders may be one of the reasons why I am completely tone-deaf.

I eventually got my braces to give me a somewhat pretty smile again, after having my jaw widened and two teeth pulled to make place for my canines to come in. And again, it wasn't cool. But just felt like sharing some insight into a 7-year old brain  :-)

This One Time I Was Incredibly Bored...

Sorry, missed "FTSF" due to Friday night date with the hubby. I still checked out the question, and since I have an almost incredible answer, I will resond today.

So, one time when I was bored out of my mind, I found the Mr. 

Yes, that's correct. I was a student back then and had just returned "home" to my tiny little student apartment from a weekend at my parents' house. I was bored out of my mind, nothing to do, only crap on TV, and none of my friends was up to doing something either. So I was surfing around MySpace (back when it was still cool) and stumbled over the profile of this incredibly cute guy. I clicked on the picture and read what he had been writing; at this moment, I knew that he was THE ONE  :-)

Have a great day everyone!!

Something Stupid...

Since I don't have much to day today, I'm just trying another fun link-up hosted by Kate. The "Finish the Sentence Friday" question of the week:

I did something really stupid once when I decided to trust a guy I knew I couldn't trust. What happened? During my time as a party girl I met a guy; we hung out for a while. After we almost got into a routine police control with my car and I later found out that he was carrying some dope in his pockets, I ceased all contact with him.

Fast forward a couple of years, I was about to graduate from college and was newly-engaged to the now-Mr. I was having a couple of drinks and a shisha at a local bar with some of my friends, when I stumbled upon him by accident; he was hanging out with a friend, who was from Turkey and told me he had cleaned up and tried to live straight-forward now. I had just returned from a trip to Istanbul with my best friend a few months ago, so we started talking. As the evening went on, we all decided to have some tea at the guy's friend's home. My former friend said he just needed to run home really quick to pick something up and would meet us at his friend'S house. Already guessing what happened? Well, of course, he did not show and his friend tried to hook up with me even though I had told them earlier that I was happily engaged. I ran out of the place yelling at him and probably waking the entire house, I didn't care.

Was I naive? Definitely. Did I know better? Well, I certainly had a bad gut feeling. I still believe in the goodness in people, but will certainly listen more to my gut and my brain.

I was embarrassed enough not to tell the fiance at this point; I confessed a couple of years later, and he was pretty amused. LOVE this man!!
