Its a good night to stay in and start packing my stuff. Still havent found a place, but hopefully by the time I am done packing my boxes up I will have a new home for said boxes

Can You Stand It??

 

 


I rant a lot......mostly about things that probably arnt too significant to others or the world at large. And my favorite rant is how much I LOVE resale shops!!! Recycling and cheap quality clothes....Win for me, Win for the environment! Here are my latest deals: A cute Kavu beanie (retail $20) and a NEW pair of Nike trailrunners ($60 retail) Will I be running trails? Not likely, but my old tennis shoes are looking pretty sorry, and with another three months of nastiness coming our way, they will come in handy for tooling around. My grand total for this evening's shopping trip? $22 and change. Yeaaaaaaaa ME!

WUV.....True Wuv..........

On again , off again, on again, off again. Thats been my M.O. in regards to the wagon of love (I didnt know there was a wagon of love either..). The whole online dating scene has been a bit sketchy for me.....so why do I continue to do it? Because I am lazy...hahah ......and even though I still havnt found THE guy, I seem to always come back for more. I dont know if there's an ideal time to start a relationship. Right now seems like as good of time as any; my schedule isnt booked out like it used to be, I am slowly getting back into shape.....and God Dammit...I am a sexy broad! So I am putting myself back out there once again and trying very hard not to let the cynical side of me show through too much. Wish me luck!

Happy New Year!

 


I am home safe, sober and already in my PJ's. Boring I may be, but I had great company, a few beers and saw a good firework show. Life is great. I hope the new year finds everyone happy and healthy!
