The Curiously Strong Nicole.

(as you can see from the title, I am still playing with the slogan generator).

Sometimes I see myself as really strong, maybe overly strong, agressive even. And then there are days when that statement could not be further from the truth. I think it might even be just oversompensation. Dr. Phil or Oprah would tell me about my control issues, my type A personality and that I should just get a grip. Easier said than done some days. Onlookers always note how brave, honest, forthright, and abrasive I am; but these days I definitely don't take it as a compliment. Age has worn me down somewhat, and now I spend my free time trying to make sure that I am working to acheive other life goals. That way, one morning I won't wake up and realize that everything I thought mattered really doesn't. I know I have rambled here, but it feels good to get it all out.

In other news, I did, however, have a very lovely time tonight with my DH and a couple of friends at a happy hour. Cheap eats and drinks; I did fairly well. But honestly, I just wasn't that worried. I stray from my plan so rarely, that I didn't want one night to bother me.
