YES! I’m jumping on this too. I have no doubt the majority of you have seen this going around, if not done it yourself. I think it’s absolutely a lot of fun, and couldn’t NOT do it, myself.
If you really knew me…
>> you’d know I’ve moved 24 times and foresee many more to come.
>> you’d know I’ve gone on major spending sprees in the past, plunking down $500-$2300 in a day but I no longer do that.
>> you’d know the first pair of designer jeans I bought 8 years ago for $218, are jeans I still own and wear to this day.
>> you’d know my favorite ice cream is mint chocolate chip (the green kind).
>> you’d know I hardly ever wore shorts in my 20’s because I thought my legs were too chunky. How stupid was I?!
>> you’d know I now own 9 pair of shorts and the number continues to grow.
>> you’d know I had no intention of staying in my current apartment for more than 6 months and even told my landlord this…but still find myself here almost 3 years later.
>> you’d know I sell lia sophia jewelry and am darn good at it.
>> you’d know that every time I step inside my dark apartment late at night and close the door, I imagine someone coming out of the darkness and attacking me.
>> you’d know that G-man believes I’m addicted to chapstick. And on the off chance I have him hold it for me while we’re out, he won’t give it to me when I ask for it because he thinks it’s “helping me” break the habit.
>> you’d know I used to always be in chat rooms back in the 90’s (when they used to be cool). But only the clean ones. I’d always leave when things got inappropriate.
>> you’d know I’m an open book and have never been good at hiding my emotions.
>> you’d know in college I had a running bet with a guy friend on who would cry first. and that 1 1/2 years later on the phone, he was telling me of his breakup and mentioned he cried, to which I cut him off and yelled, ‘haha you cried, you lose!’ I’ve never been prouder of myself.
>> you’d know I now cry over every little thing. Happy, sad, laughing, depressed, angry. You name it, I instantly choke up…and that I blame age for this.
>> you’d know I hate to stand and talk to people without some form of support against me, like a wall, a car, a counter. Without it, I’m miserable (physically and mentally).
>> you’d know I have very morbid bathroom dreams that always involve one or more people one way or another watching me go…*cough* number 2. Different settings, different people, different languages (like Russian) but a constant dream for the past 17 years.
I had to end on a good note.. *ahem*

A thankful me - 26
I’m so thankful its Monday, said no one ever.
Kidding! Yesterday, I woke up to my alarm going off. I jumped out of bed and started my normal work day routine when I stopped and said, today’s Sunday! Now that I was thankful for…and after declaring said thankfulness, I lied back down.
Eventually I got up to endure the dreaded and vile Wal-O-Mart. I can only stomach that place before 10am on weekends, so I hurried as fast I could and left in the nick, of all the approaching crazies, time. One guy had the courtesy of belching right when I walked by. I held my breath
I’m thankful for
- not smelling his icky breath
- finally getting my beloved Blue Bunny ice cream..its only sold at that vile place so its hard to load up
- indulging on this tasty cup o’ ice cream from the swedish creamery
- leaving work 15 minutes early on Friday, even though everyone else left an hour before at BOTH offices leaving me alone. It was still nice to duck out early.
- having such an easy job. Sometimes its too easy
- deep cleaning my stovetop and oven. I’m embarrassed at how grimy they were but amazed at how great they look
- my carpets being so clean. Best $30 I ever spent
- a day off in the middle of the week. As much as it messed me up it was still pretty fantastic
Yesterday, I very awkwardly had a woman (a married woman at that) tell me she wanted to see me in a bathing suit to see my body. All I could do was stare at her. Then her sister agreed, followed by her calling me a “B” for being so skinny because they were jealous (their words).
I said with an awkward laugh that I workout and moved on to another topic.
It amazes me the lack of filter on some.

Ice scream you scream we all scream for ice cream
It makes me happy...and there's days I need 2 bowls instead of 1.
I confess, I'm beyond missing my love right now. Painfully missing him. Tomorrow he leaves for 2 weeks overseas (it just got reduced from 4 to 2, praise God!) and just thinking of that makes me miss him even more.
Which if you really think about it, is really silly because we're already 3,745 miles away (thanks google maps) from each other with an ocean separating us so why would him going out of the country be any different?? I. do. not. know.
But it is.
I digress.
Remember the raves about my awesome tax lady?? Well, let me set the record straight...not so awesome. She did my taxes and wanted to check with her boss on something and stated she would call me back. uummm, that was over a month ago.
I've called, I don't know over 30 times and left messages with reception. I EVEN talked to her once where she told me she was able to drop how much I'm paying by 1/2. Which is GREAT! BUT she wasn't at her desk and had to call me back later that night.
....that was 2 weeks ago.
Finally I thought outside my little box that's my brain and made a phone appointment with her. I'm smart, I know...only she didn't call me. I called 2 hours past the appt. and the receptionist said she'd call me that night, for sure.
She never did.
She's 3 1/2 hours away from me and has ALL my tax forms. April 16th is looming ever so quickly.
So I'm just going to go to my happy place....
