Life changes ....

I seriously doubt anyone will read this .... and that's ok.
It's more for me to get my internal shit out anyway.

My last post was my birthday ....
I can't even begin to tell you the number of changes that have taken place since!

I'd say the biggest change is that Jack & I called it quits in November after 5+ years.
It was my decision more than it was his.  The distance had finally taken it's toll on me and
I wanted something else for my life.
It was/is heartbreaking ..... but also the right thing to do.

I've also managed to lose about 45lbs since July.
I feel fantastic and don't look half bad either ...  lol

For 46, i'll take it!   lol

Sadly, i've had 5 deaths in my family since October with the latest being last Sunday.
It feels like I have a black cloud hanging over my head.
Maybe it's karma.
I just know that I have never wished for winter to be done as much as I want this one to be done.

My oldest brother was almost killed in January.
He took out a utility pole at 2am on a VERY snowy, shitty night.
He was drunk.
Yes, he was arrested and yes, he will deserve whatever the Judge gives him.
It's my SIL and my nieces and nephew I feel bad for.

Speaking of my nieces and nephew .... my Q graduated as an Automotive Tech from college in December.  I am soooooo unbelievably proud of her!  She's working in a dealership and loving life!
My nephew graduates this month and already has a few job prospects lined up.
Again, I am an extremely proud Aunt!

There's been a whole lot more too .... trips to warm, exotic locations, attempting to date again (that's an entire post in itself!) ..... so much more!
I won't get into it all now .... i'm tired of typing.

Hopefully i'll be posting again more .... the dating alone might make me do it!
I do have a question to ask .... since when is it acceptable to let your freak flag fly high and proud on a first date????  Not that it's that big a deal ... I just wish someone had told me the new rules.
This getting old is pure shit!

Triple-D

Dirty

Drunken

Dancing










I was actually trying for a "come hither" look.

????????

Yeah .......


At least my hair is growing back.

CHERing Friday!

YAY!
I made it to Friday!
WHOO HOOOO

It's time for some Cosmos and Cher!
Yes, I adore Cher.
Always have, always will.


Seriously, how can you NOT love her?
Love her or hate her, you have GOT to love the Bob Mackie creations!

 

Dicking around .....

It's a great dicking around day .....
Chilly, rainy, altogether craptacular.

Now, if only I had a dick to be dicking with ......
*sigh*

Wandering ....

I thank all of you for your kindness and support in regards to my last post.
It has really meant a lot to me during a very long, emotional week.
I'm still trying to get my bearings .....
so please bear with me.

I just need a breather.
Some fresh air.
Some green space.

Me & Lil' man are headed out to the country.
I believe a weekend of  riding the ATV's, swimmin' in the river, catching fireflies and roasting marshmallows over a campfire is in order.
It's just what I need.

I hope y'all get a chance to watch Nik Wallenda make his historic  Walk Across The Falls. *
I really should go since it's in my backyard (almost literally), but i'm not.
Traffic ....
Crowds .....
No view.

I have it set to record on DVR .... but I imagine my SIL & I will be watching fireside .... cocktails in hand.
(we really "rough" it!)
I hope y'all have a safe and happy weekend ... whatever you do!

Till then, does anyone have an explanation for this ???
Anyone ????

Yeah .... me neither.


I'll be back .....
xxx

*How sad is it that once again, Canada has been able to properly advertise such an amazing event?

The US?  Yeah .... not so much.

Double D .....

Yep .... i'm a Double D!

No worries ......

Halloo my darlings!
Being the Gatekeeper/Mistress/Maid of hell is rough.
I need a break.

The kind that have soft, sandy beaches ......
Sultry, steamy nights ......
LOT'S of free booze! (BONUS!)
I am off to the Caribe' for a much needed and long overdo vacation.
A real one ... not the one i've been exiled to since December.

I'll be back ..... maybe.
About 2 weeks or so.
I hope you all have a fabulous Easter and peace filled 2 weeks!

Irie Mon!

Just sayin' .....

Don't forget the chocolate.
Bitch.

SuperFreak .....

Happy Birthday to a local who was a total BAD-ASS!
