I finally have a happy post to throw out!

While this victory is not mine personally, it is a huge one in my heart...

 

I am getting a brother-in-law :-)

 

 

While the details of the proposal is not my story to tell - I will add the title of the post is what my sister said to me when she called to tell me the news.. :-)

 

Congratulations to my lovely sister K and her finance T.   ♥

 

 

 



 

 





A drunk man's words..

*sigh*

Every time I start to take a few steps forward, I get kicked a few steps back. 

Seriously.

I am waiting for one entire week where SOMETHING does not go wrong or someone doesn't do SOMETHING that is cringe worthy.

In a nutshell - I received some drunken text messages late Friday night from The Ex.  As I am sleeping, I don't see them or reply.  In the morning, I do - as they consisted mostly of "Why won't you answer?" sort of messages..

I politely reply that I was sleeping.

Later, he replies apologizing for bothering me.

Saturday, I am woken up to several drunken messages from The Ex telling me how much he misses me and wants to see me. 

I reply that I am sleeping and need to be up in a few hours for work.  He replies he misses me A LOT.  I reply telling him to enjoy his celebrations, I'll ttyl and I need to go to sleep..

Sunday, I am informed the Ex is making jokes about his drunken 'shame' of texting me and how he won't delete these messages as a shameful reminder to himself, and how an app should be made to make ex gf's a 'no fly zone', etc...

Seriously.

It was enough to make me break down in tears.  Hard.

While I am leaps and bounds from where I was ages ago with his influence, he STILL has the power to hurt me.

He texts me TWO days in a row but turns ME into the punch line...?  I loved him for 3 years with all of my heart, so to be made into a joke stings no matter how strong I may be...

I'm sorry for YET another crummy post.. Victories just aren't coming my way lately!

I'm alive!

Uggggh.  I have been neglecting my blogging...

What have I been up to?  Sadly, nothing news worthy!

In the past few weeks, work is just kicking me down mentally and physically...  Combine that with the new exercise routine I started a week ago (that keeps me in the gym for about 90 minutes daily) I come home exhausted..

I think the dreary weather we have been experiencing in my neck of the woods isn't helping my pep level either... BUT, that too shall change soon enough I am sure :-)

Hope y'all are doing well!!

Wordless Wednesday: Playing in the Dirt

 

 

It doesn't look like much NOW, but in a few months it will be filled with fresh vegetables!

The best part?  Part of it is mine :-)

 

You're looking at my new community garden plot! 

 

Due to the friends whose yard I used prior for my gardening selling their house suddenly, I had to look at other venues for my gardening love.  I was able to locate one through a nearby church that was VERY cheap for the year!  It's going to be different, but I am very excited to get into that dirt!
