2011...yes it begins



I love planning things. Just like this cruise which I'm going on in 5 days. I found out about it June 2009 and the saving, spending and making new friends began. I hate not looking forward to something. Just sitting back and waiting for life to happen. I make my life happen. :)


Now that summer 2010 is almost over...it's time to start thinking about next year. GWO is a given. I sent out the preliminary email to everyone yesterday to get some ideas on where to go and what dates. Summer was really bugging me because I wanted to take the girls to the new Harry Potter theme park. That doesn't look like it will happen though. I have to buy a car for myself, tear up the front yard and do some landscaping, gut my main bathroom and redo it, put up gutters around the house and flooring in the house. My tax refund just won't stretch out that far. I do want to do something fun though. Young un's dad has plans for them so I'm not worried about her. Mini me has suggested that when Young'un is on vacation that she and I do something on the Oregon coast. Not a bad idea. No sales tax and outlet malls. Smart child I have.

Yesterday I was on the phone with one of my dear cruisers. She had just come home from Twi-Con in Toronto Canada. Can you color me jealous and 3 different shades of green with envy? I want to go to a Twi-con!!!! Well my lovely cruiser suggested I join them next summer. Really???? *said in a high pitched mouse voice* Me being the planner I am I looked up Twi-con for next summer. There are 3 choices. Boston, Raleigh, and Cincinnati. She suggested Cinci. It's next August and that gives me plenty of time to save money. So that is my plan for next summer. Twi-con with my cruiser friend, her sister and her daughter. OH!!!! I just had a thought!!! Instead of going to the Oregon coast I could do the Twi-con weekend and bring Mini me. That was a brilliant thought wasn't it?



Next November is the day any true Twilighter is looking forward to. In 471 days "Breaking Dawn" will be released in theaters. This is a HUGE thing!!!! It is the last book of our beloved saga. This will actually be part one of "Breaking Dawn". Summit has decided to make the book into two movies. I'm not complaing to be honest. I don't want this ride to end. I'm enjoying it way too much. Anyway...for "Breaking Dawn" another of my dear cruisers and I are planning a party for the release. This party has to be beyond amazing. Of course it will be a 2 parter. Can't have a party for one 1/2 of the book and not pay homage to the finale. It's just not right.


I've been invited to Los Angeles this fall and then possibly to NYC to see Phantom at some point but those are still up in the air plans. Nothing set in concrete. The above trips? Mandatory!!! I love my life. People may call Twilight stupid, a literary fail, teeny bopper frivolity and whatever other crap people like to spew. I call Twilight my lifesaver. It brought to me the most amazing people and I am so honored and blessed to call them my friends. :)

It's a struggle knowing he didn't love me and never did.  To find out the things he does now for his wife?  The woman who is bigger than I ever was, the woman who has been married multiple times, the woman who is tatted up and he hated tats, the woman who shows jealousy, the woman he won't keep secrets from but kept them from me, the woman who is everything he said he hated in me.  Knowing all of this has made me hate him.  I know it does nothing to him.  It will only eat away at me but that has been happening to me for almost 20 years.  I can only now admit that I hate this man with every fiber of my being.    When I met him, I was in a good place.  I was happy with myself, I had friends, I loved sex and I believed in love.  In the almost 2 years I was with him, he destroyed every last bit of me.  I know it was only 2 years but in 2 years, he obliterated every bit of who I was.  Not a day went by where he didn't mentally or em...

Too much...

 There are days I enjoy living my life.  There are days I thoroughly hate it.  Yesterday, while grocery shopping, I almost had a breakdown.  Standing there in the aisle, I had to fight, with everything in me, to not start crying.   Too much has been hitting me this month and I think I'm at the end of my rope.   Beginning of the month, D's new wife sent me a text telling me to lose his number, email and address because I already had my chance with him. I laughed at the absurdity of everything she said in that text as it sounded like something a teenaged girl would write. I haven't wanted that man in almost 20 years, so, she is either highly jealous of his past and any woman he used to be interested in or is extremely insecure with herself and her relationship.  Regardless of her mental state, I told her I was just catching up on life with him, but I will respect her request and not talk to him again.  I've been told she has been married 4...

A lifetime

 I have been mentally ill for as long as I can remember.  I honestly don't remember a time when I thought I was worth loving or even being allowed to live.  I've been suicidal, I've had a catatonic moment, I've been severely depressed.  In essence, I've been a mental mess.  I didn't know why.  I just was.  Doctors put me on medication but they barely touched my illness.  The demons were still there.  When I went off of the medication, those voices were loud and strong.   They controlled me.  The problem was...I didn't mind it.  It was a comfort for me.  It was my safe space.  I embraced their words. I know that sounds twisted but mental illness doesn't make sense. One year ago I decided I had enough.  I wanted to be happy.  I wanted to live my life, not just exist in it.  I went back on medication.  It helped...for a while.  Then those voices started coming back.  "You aren't worth i...
