My new FAVORITE thing!

Bath & Body Works Eucalyptus Spearmint...anything! I bought the Wallflowers and my apartment smells clean and like a spa. I want to get one for every single empty outlet in my the whole place!!!

Another day of shop till you drop w/ P-Dub. I've redone my whole bedroom, including setting up a craft station. P-Dub just moved into an apartment down the street so we've been "home" shopping for him, too. Shopping....way too much shopping.

I do need to start planning to go out and see Jess, Eric...and well, mostly Carly! Yes, Jess, I'm still planning on it...email me at work so I can work on getting the tickets!

I hit my 3 year anniversary at work. AND...as of this month, if you've worked there for 3 years, you get 3 weeks vacation instead of two. You used to have to wait 5 years! Woo Hoo! Thus, I took off all last week when I had originally planned only 3 days.

Three years. Wow. Go back a read a post from me three years ago! I bet I was crying and a mess...well, some things don't change...I'm still a mess, but in a much better way. I can't stop crafting or decorating or working really, really hard, etc., instead of drinking, sleeping and crying.

Three years ago I had the worst break up of my life, started a new job, ended a job I had had for 8 years...all in one week...and now I'm doing super well in that same job, I can't believe I ever cried one tear over that loser...I'm in an awesome, healthy relationship with someone amazing...my daughter is more of a handful, but I'm medicated and happy!!! :)

More on the crafting later...I should scan in a couple of the scrapbook pages I've done...and definitely will put up pictures of my new bedroom....after 20 years of having my room blue in some way or another...I have moved on to a very sophisticated "spa" look....white, green, black...with touches of chrome and glass....love, love, love it! I even painted my maple wood night table that I've had for 15 years...and needed a little help...yep, I really did...paint brush and all...all by myself...it is now glossy black...I'm doing the bookcase next...

I dreamed of being an artist when I was 15 years old...I was never really any good...and I know I probably wouldn't have made it very far in that world...but adding that back into my life has done wonders!!!! Seriously. Whether it's just painting my night stand or framing pieces of art I find that I like...or scrapbooking...or making Christmas ornaments...I have definitely needed this outlet.

Ok...I'm about to go find some green, black, or white pics right now to frame...will definitely post some pictures...and will definitely be making an effort to blog more too...after all this was my only outlet for a very, very, very long time.

I'll blog about my weekend at some point, but in the meantime...

Mi-Mi and Obi-Wan hanging out at one of our bars...
Time to Share? I have a huge crush. I have a huge crush on a man I've never met in person. I have a huge crush on a man who does things that are very cool. Yesterday in the mail I got the book that he sent me...the book that he wrote...a book about all of his travels and adventures. The more I read this book, the less confident I start to feel about this being a possible "match". I have no idea what I can offer this older, more sophisticated, more worldly man. The biggest adventures in my life are grappling with 18-year old freshmen for a parking space at school, finishing a set of push-ups and pull-ups at the gym, or wrestling my daughter to the ground for a bath. Maybe I can teach him all about Sponge-Bob Square Pants? This is again one of those times where things seem too good to be true. The emails we send back and forth would suggest that there is a great interest and curiosity on both sides, and that something really good could possibly come from this!!! His ...
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! Last night there was a costume party (aka Halloween Party...but some people don't celebrate Halloween?...so hence just being called a costume party) for the Union stewards at work...I'm not a steward, and I only just became a memeber of the Union on my last day of work in June...and only became a memeber because there were a lot of "things" going on at work, and I didn't want to be easily fired...however, the party was at a good friend from work's house, so I got an invite...I think they just really needed an extra kid...the party was kicked off by us watching the little girls, including Gabby, do a project...the project was to get this guy from work into his costume...they did his make-up...he was such a good sport about it and it was hilarious!!! Then followed up by lots of Malibu on ice. I threw together a cat outfit, by the way, for the party...I'll have to post the pics...kind of funny. Tonight I will be out amongst all the other pa...
