I've been away from Blogger for so long. I like the new changes tho. I may return, someday when I have a purpose and the time. :) So, really what I'm saying is, don't hold your breath, ok? In the meantime, these were my thoughts and struggles. I am by no means "out of the woods" yet - however, I am in a new place :) and I continue to learn and love and trust in myself, regardless of how others may impact me.
Until, someday....
"I think it's likely this is a good place to start." This is a blog, a diary, a confession, venting, a social commentary, and some general observations by me. I'm a newly single mom trying to pick up the pieces of a life left shattered, by addiction. It's funny, heartbreaking, and even embarrassing.

End of 2009.....
I've suffered through months of illness. Not bad illness. But just enough to be very annoying and keep me from being a decent multi-tasker. Heck, I'm not even a very good mono-tasker lately.
FYI: I haven't moved. I'm still in the same unpleasant place. (I'm trying to be nice, it's difficult, there aren't many redeeming qualities once you stomp upstairs to tell your neighbor to turn the tv down at 2am, or stop doing laundry at 3 am.... I'm so picky!) Even though I'm stuck here, my gut says that it's ok. I'm continuing to look. I want to love where I live. It doesn't have to be, and most likely won't be, the one place I live for the rest of my life. It just needs to be home for a few years. Or a happy 2 years. Shhhh...don't tell anyone, but I do actually pray about it.

Not too much to report...
Pictures are from First Saturday at the Walker. The Walker has a great exhibit right now Dan Graham:Beyond, this month's free Saturday was tied into that. We got to rock out to the Suicide Commandos, and make and view art. Afterward, we went to a new restaurant and then to a vintage store where we learned some fun and gross new information.

Were you aware that women would save the hair from their comb or brush in fancy boxes on their dressing tables? I bet you've seen the boxes at antique stores, I have. They look like you should put cotton balls in them (usually octagonal with a round hole in the top). Then they'd use that hair to put back on their head in hairstyles? Can you say eeeeew?! (however I suppose it's better than some other person's hair) I think they were called rat boxes? Funny, since the old hair looked like a dead matted rodent.

On that note, yet another Dr. appointment this week and an ultrasound, then hopefully some meds that will help me feel like I have a memory and a brain. I decided that I'm going to use my insanely expensive healthcare. Since I pay $300+ a month for it.
Ok, something positive....Ummm. This week's weather has been so amazing! I love the smell of fall, especially late fall.
Ooh! and I'll have to add in a post about Halloween. M~ came to visit!! :D

summer's nearing the end.
Where'd it go?? Tell me where the hell did the time go?
Is this what aging is, going in successively faster and smaller circles? Slow down!
My friend M~ was supposed to come visit today in fact. For 12 days. But due to boyfriend drama, I'm soooo not sold on this man, she had to abruptly move out of her apartment. Which ended up working out for the best, she's now moving into a house. That's good. But the guy, well...I'll have to meet him. I just don't have a good gut feeling about him. And of course I'm protective of my friends.
A~'s childcare ends for the summer tomorrow, a full 2 weeks before school starts. Grrr. So even though M~'s not coming into town I'm still going to take time off. I'm thinking of going up to the cabin. Or taking a bit of $ from my tax return and taking A~ somewhere fun. But, most likely not. I need to save the $ to pay my way out of my lease here. A woman at work has a condo she hasn't been able to sell and wants badly to rent it to me. Apparently I'm responsible. It's a cute condo. The location is better, in Edina and right down the street from SW mpls. The best part is we could get a cat, or 2. YAY! Now how to get out of my lease?!
Where there's a will there's a way. Hopefully not too expensive.
The last month has been crazy busy. Lots of weird things and over all good. I will try to catch this blog up to speed. In chronological order, so some posts may get posted before this one when I back date.
I also plan to take lots of pics and update on time while I'm taking time off.
I'll post pics of the new place soon too, if I get out of here. So whomever checks this, send positive vibes please!
:)
