Where to next? All I wanted was a happy ending, but who says that we always get what we want?
Fot the first time in my life I'll be selfish and think of Anastasia FIRST...
So I'm running away...running away from everything and everyone, while I still have a little bit of my sanity left...
This is not a goodbye, my dear friends, just a "see you later" kinda thing...
You all have been wonderful to me and I don't want to lose you, so please stay in touch and show me love once in a while, ok?
Thank you all for your thoughtfulness and support, I'll update and be in touch as soon as I can...
Wish me luck...

What is l♥ve ?   There's no better gift in life that to love and to be loved...
L♥ve is the experience that awakens our souls and makes us feel completely alive...
where every sense is heightened,
every emotion is magnified, our every day reality is shattered
and we find our selves flying into heavens, reaching for more...
   Sometimes it can start with just a look, a touch or a thought...
it may last only a moment, an afternoon, or a very long time...
there could be joy as well as pain, but as long as we know that and
we submit ourselves freely and wholeheartedly,
we can be left with memories that we can treasure for the rest of our lives...
L♥ve is priceless and free...
it should be kind, respectful, it should be patient,
understanding and faithful...
it should plant a fire in our hearts, but bring peace to
our minds...
L♥ve should be embraced with open minds,
with open hearts, with honesty and intergrity
it should never be selfish and it should be prepared to
sacrifice anything, at any time...
just like in the following story...
    Happy birthday to me... ...yes, today is the big day, if you wanna call it that...
 One year older, but wiser??? Hmmm...that' s something to think about...
 I have no plans for the weekend since I'm working both Friday and Saturday, but Sunday includes a shopping spree at Wal-mart, (gift cards from X-mas) and Monday is dinner...YEAH!!!
I'm so ecxited, I can hardly wait...!
 I'll be sure to come back and post some pics if I take some, and give you an update of what went down, for those of you who care that is...
My new years resolutions usually start on my birthday (last year was only a few days ago), since I see it as "the rebirth" of myself and it has been my tradition to set 5 goals, to match my birth date...
This year I chose goals I can actually achieve, so here we go...
1. Gain at least 20 pounds... 2. Get in whole new rut... 3. Spend my summer vacation in Cyberspace... 4. Read less and watch more TV... ...and last but not least... 5. Procastinate more...I'll start tommorow...
And I promise, 2007 would be the year to keep all of the above...
Love ya guys !
My first blog in 2007...
Happy New year everybody!
 2006 was a very hard year, full of hopelessness, frustration and a lot of stress...
It seemed that all I did was waking up, trying to survive and getting right back to bed...
I took it day by day and 365 days later, I realized that as stressful as it was, I should be thankful, because at least
I SURVIVED!!
 With the 2006 in the past and the new year ahead of us, it's time to reflect on the changes that I need and to start a brand new chapter in my "so called life"...
I got this e-mail long time ago and saved it for a special blog entry...
I think this is the one...
Let the following be my New Year's Resolution, to:
"Hold on to what's important in life"
  FAITH; it's the source of believing that things are possible...it's the fiber and the strengh of a confident soul...HOPE; it banishes doubt and enables attitude to be positive and cheerful...TRUST; it's at the core of fruitful relationships that are secure and content...LOVE; it's life's greatest gift of all for it shares, cares and gives meaning to life...FAMILY; they are the beginnings that you grew from...the vine that has grown through time to nourish you, help you on your way and always remain close by...FRIENDS; they are the most important people in your life and they make the world a better place...DREAMS; achieve them diligently and honestly...never take the easy way or surrender to deceit...YOURSELF; to all that you are and all that you have learned for these things are what make you unique...I hope that you all have a very blessed year ...
May peace fill all the empty spaces around you
May contentment answer all your wishes. May comfort be yours, warm and soft like a sigh. And may the coming year Show you that every day is really a first day, A new year. Let abundance be your constant companion, So that you have much to share. May mirth be near you always, Like a lamp shining brightly on the many paths you travel. May you be true love... and ( P.S. ) May you remember my birthday, on January 5th...
 ...taking a break from spaces...be back next year...
the tax department...
pressure, your triglycerides, your cholesterol, your white blood count and your mortgage interest not rise...
and when you get there, may you find a parking space...
beloved family and cherished friends, ushering in the new year ahead. You will find the food better, the environment quieter, the cost much cheaper and the pleasure much more fulfilling than anything else you might ordinarily do that night...
world about your virtues...
check book and your budget balance include generous amounts for charity...
your parents, your friends...
every flower's unfolding petals, every baby's smile, every lover's kiss and every wonderful, astonishing, miraculous beat of our heart.
A Very of you... .%c2%b7%c2%b4%c2%af)+:+December,+2005&referrer=http://shi-devil.spaces.live.com/PersonalSpace.aspx?_c02_owner%3d1){kind=small}
Who on earth...  blogs on Christmas day?
First of all,
 my friends...I really thought you guys should know about this though..
 So I woke up early this morning very excited, grabbed a cup of coffee and went straight to the livingroom to see what the Good Santa brought to me this year...
Right there, by the Christmas tree , was an unusual looking letter with my name on it...
As I opened it, it read...
Dear Anastasia...
I've been watching you very closely to see if you have been good this year and since you have, I was going to bring you gifts from the 12 days of Christmas... but we had a little
problem.
The 12 fiddlers fiddling have all come down with VD from fiddling with the 10 ladies dancing, the 11 lords leaping have knocked up the 8 maids a-milking, and the 9 pipers-piping have been arrested for doing weird things to the 7 swans a-swimming. The 6 geese a-laying, 4 calling birds, 3 French hens, 2 turtle doves and the partridge in a pear tree have me up to my sled runners in bird shit. On top of all this, Mrs. Claus is going through menopause, 8 of my reindeer are in heat and my elves have joined the gay liberation.
Maybe next Christmas I'll be able to get my shit together and bring you the things you want.
This year I suggest you get your ass down to Wal_mart before everything is gone.
Love, Santa...
 Guess who's being naughty now, huh, huh???
 Winter is here...
As I look out my window, all I see is white...snow covered trees, bushes, cars and not a soul in sight...
First snow of the season and boy did we ever get some! It started on Saturday evening, just as I was about to go home from work, so I didn't really mind it and the forecast was to have rain the next day and wash it all away...
Well, guess what? That plan didn't work at all, because we kept having snow, snow and more snow!!
Yesterday it didn't bother me either, being my day off and all, I mean I had plans to go out and finish my X-mas shopping, but whatever, so I tried to prove wrong what I heard on the radio, they said: "you know when you're too old, when you don't enjoy snow anymore"
I was like:'Yeah? I'll show you"
 ...so I put on my "winter gear" and went to the park with my friend to build a snowman...
The first fifteen ot twenty minutes was fun, but then I started getting really cold, my nose was running, my makeup was running (why did I put on make-up in the first place??) sheesh...and my so called winter gear was soaked...not waterproof, you see...
(Just like my make-up...)
 Well, today seems to be worse than yesterday and again I had plans...chances are they' d get cancelled again...unless ofcourse I get brave enough to get out there and slip and slide away...
Too early for decisions, I'll have my coffee first and then we'll see...
Drive carefully everyone!
Just thoughts... Who turned the light at the end of the tunnel off?
How am I ever going to find my way out of the DARK??
Not a day goes by...  ...that I don't find myself complaining about things, my car, my job, money, relationships...
I'll be the first to admit that most of the times I see the glass as half empty rather than half full...
Sometimes I have a good reason, but still, it can always be worse...
This Thanksgiving, I'll take a break from taking things for granted, a break from all the bitterness and all the negative thoughts...
Besides, I can go back to all that on Tuesday...
 So here we go...
I'm thankful for all that I am and for all that I have, thankful for my hopes and dreams,
thankful for my health, my family and friends...
and last but not least, I'm thankful for the friendships that I made in spaces, you guys ROCK!!!
AWWW!! I'm getting all teary eyed here...
May you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday!!
HugZ&KisseS&lotsaluv...
ღ´¨) ¸ .*´¸.*ღ´¨) ¸.*ღ¨) (¸.*´ (¸.*` ღ*Anastasia *ღ  Thoughts while driving... ...and I want to close my eyes and think of happy thoughts...
...I want to find myself lifted from the ground and flying among the stars to Never-Never Land...
...where you never grow old...
...where there's not a care in the world...
...where everything comes true as long as you believe in it...
A.
...
It's been exactly...  ...one year, since I joined MSN spaces! One year of laughter, tears, inspiration, frustration and I'm pretty sure, boredom too!
To all of you who "knocked on my door", thank you for taking the time to do so and for the ones that keep on "knocking", I can only extend my arms in hopes to "reach" you and give you a HUGE cyber hug...you all know who you are, I'm not mentioning any names...
Thank you for making me run to the computer the very minute I wake up in the morning and just before I go to bed at night, to find your comments...
OOPS! I wasn't supposed to say that!
Well, Happy Birthday
ACE ♥ SPACE
( =A's space, if you were wondering ) and here's a toast with a cup of coffee, too early for anything else...
To friendships and to more blogging...
  I received the following comment......and I'm only posting it cuz this is the only way I can reply...
"Why is it that people try to find love, friendship, and the need to know and to be known with strangers over the net? ... while wasting years and years of their life witholding their effort to communicate the truth in their heart with the one that they chose to share themselves with and to play that game which is called "life" ?
Why would anyone settle for the lower "ideal"? Now I don't know how to take that, it certainly isn't a positive comment, but is it negative towards me or just in general? Hmmm!!!
So here we go...
" Dear 'friend'...
I hope you come back and visit, so you can read my reply...
You'll be happy to know that your comment really puzzled me...
I have to admit, your point is very good and very well written, but why would you assume that ALL people on spaces try to find love or friendship?
Not everybody is after what you mentioned... for some, 'bloggin' could be a way to unwind from a busy day, an inexpensive hobby, a totally innocent experience...
Obviously you 've just started "a space" ...what is YOUR reason for doin' it?
Hope it's not just to comment to me, LOL, which in that case, I'm really flattered!!!"
Take care...A.
T.G.I.F...or is it? It's funny, when people tell me how happy they are that is Friday, I kinda smile and say nothing...
 Why? Because I usually work on weekends and they are busy and stressfull... There's nothing worse that working and listening to the radio announcer, who's all excited about being Friday and all I can think of saying in a very, very bitter way is "Yeah, yeah, enough already! I have to friggin' work, so don't rub it in..." along with a couple of swear words...oh yes I do use those some times, actually it seems that I use them a lot lately...
Anyway, back to the subject... so yes...weekends mean nothing to me, they are just a couple of "working my (_i_) off" days...
 On the other hand, while Mondays are disliked by a lot of people, they are loved by me, cuz those are my I don't have to work" (days) ...
 So even though the T.G.I.F thinggy does not apply to me, it's more like O.N.I.T.W.A (=OH NO, IT'S THE WEEKEND AGAIN ), I'll still be a good sport and wish you all a great weekend and think of me when you're having fun out in the sun...
 ... but don't forget, revenge is sweet and her name is MONDAY!
   I don't think I told you... ...but I'm getting kicked out...my landlady said she had enough of me partying all the time...LOL...just kidding...
She needs the whole house to herself (how selfish is that??) and since I have part of it I have to give it up!
So here we go again, like I don't have enough on my plate already, I have to go "house hunting" find boxes, pack up, and find a new nest to call it 'Home"...
The good thing is that I have enough time, till the end of July, the bad thing is that I doubt I'll find rent as cheap as what I pay now, but I will certainly try...
Unlike many people that hate moving and please don't take me wrong, it's not that I like it, I think of it as a "cathartic" treatment, you get rid of all the junk that you've been collecting throughout the years, things that you "think" you'll be using or wearing one day but you never do and you start... fresh...kinda...
...it almost seems that I'm enjoying it, doesn't it? Well I don't...
So, anyway, I have already started cleaning up closets and storage spaces and packing up, I'm the kind of person that doesn't like leaving things for the last minute and I have a very busy day ahead of me, have to go and look at some places before I go to work, so I will have to say bye for now, but not without hugz and something to ( I hope) make you smile...
Cowboy boots...
An elderly couple is vacationing in the West. Sam always wanted a pair of authentic cowboy boots. Seeing some on sale one day, he buys them, wears them home, walking proudly. He walks into their hotel room and says to his wife, "Notice anything different, Helen?"
Helen looks him over, "Nope."
Sam says excitedly, "Come on, Helen, take a good look. Notice anything
different about me?"
Helen looks again, "Nope."
Frustrated, Sam storms off into the bathroom, undresses, and walks back into the room completely naked except for his boots.
Again, he asks, a little louder this time, "Notice anything DIFFERENT?"
Helen looks up and says, "Sam, what's different? It's hanging down today, it was hanging down yesterday, it'll be hanging down again tomorrow."
Furious, Sam yells, "AND DO YOU KNOW WHY IT'S HANGING DOWN, HELEN? IT'S HANGING DOWN BECAUSE IT'S LOOKING AT MY NEW BOOTS!"
To which Helen replies, "Shoulda bought a hat, Sam, Shoulda bought a hat."
 ...see ya guys...I'll be back with an update... Regarding April 5th entry......the light at the end of the tunnel is out, the exit that I thought I had found is lost in the dark and me, I'm just sinking in an ocean of desperation, dragging along my ball and chain...
...and even though I said I hoped that the light wasn't a train coming right at me, I wish it was, so it can take me out of my misery...
sorry guys...spirits are on the low side...
 Almost there...I think...I hope... June 1st!!
The day I've been waiting for...
the day that I'll find the answer to a burning question...
the day that I can separate the ball from the chain
I've been draggin' for a while now...
I can almost taste it...
I hope and wish...
...and once the weight is gone, I'd be able to move easier and work on the chain...link by link...
 The following conversation took place today... So I was at work and was talking to a customer over the phone, when he surprised me by saying the following...
Customer: Who am I talking to?
Me: My name is Anastasia...
Customer: Well, Anastasia, you always sound so cheerful and happy on the phone every time I talk to you, you make my day...
Me: AWW!! Thank you very much for saying that...
Customer: Are you this cheerful on the inside as well?
Me: No, not really, I'm faking it!!! I feel pretty gloomy most of the times...
Customer: LOL, well thanks for being honest, but I still think you're a ray of sunshine!!!
Me: Blushing....what a nice thing to say...thank you...
I forgot to tell him that he too made my day and I'm only posting this because...uuummm...it feels good...
Goodnight everybody, sweet dreams...

It's Valentine's Day! 
I'll be back with an update later...
May you get a clean bill of health from your dentist, your physician, your psychiatrist and
to all
