tattoo

well it has occurred tome that I have not posted the looks of my tattoo so here it is:


this was 5 min after being done

this was about a month latter, and yes I still love it!

Tyville Fancy -other wisse known as out cute dog



seams like ages since I've wrote anything on this page...
Well it's October, been a year:)
and what a year it has been
I've grown, I've found stable ground
I'm happy

My life has roots again and it feels nice.
I miss my Shevegas, reminisce about my wild ways of the days past
I still plan on skydiving next year
skinny dipping again one of these years
those things are steady now

I own a house with this great man
have 8-4 job, I don't work weekends or holidays

I'm going to my big concert this year
tickets bought
the event postponed
AC/DC better make it to Milwaukee this year

We just got a dog...
I know me and a dog in a same house
Fancy is the sweetest dog I've ever met
my cute greyhound fresh of the track
she stops the traffic in this small town
when I put on her cute yellow rain coat on for her walk

Things are good
What am I saying things are so great I sometimes have to pinch myself
to know it's real.

ps
Saturday is the Food and Wine event in Kohler WI
my old friends are meeting up for some good food , wine and just good old talk
I can't wait!

good news:)
so after a few interviews I got a job offer

The new job will start on the 31st of this month, so basically I can sit back and relax a bit and stop frantically looking fro ways to save money.
The thought that keeps on occurring to me is that I should also look a for a part time bartending / waitress job maybe. This way I could start paying off some debt. The draw back is I will have no time to spend with Ken and the kids as well as forget doing anything over the weekend.

Lots to think about, though I'm kinda thinking I may make a margharita and go lounge in the sun while I think it over.

boxes everywhere
feels like we all have to fit a certain mold
fit in
do this
smile a certain way
look a certain way

like old shoes in my closet
I get rid of certain looks
they don't fit me like they used to

what used to be comfortable doesn't fit anymore

sometimes my mom is right
I don't fit into any world

sometimes I just have to trim some fat here and there
and there I am just like I always have been

maybe all this is is just pms talking
you never know....

so this is how it feels
Unemployment, being told that you were/are unfit for the position you were filling
Where do I go from here?

Fox Valley is the new home so I don't plan on moving any time soon, choices are slim

still there is that looming question:
"what do I wanna be when I grow up?"

I've narrowed down my expenses, what is the lowest amount I can live on?
What are the jobs I can do?

On the home side, things are good better than good.
We had bought a house over a month ago ( though how I'll pay for my share of it now eludes me)
now it's loaded with boxes of stuff that neither of us know where to go with so they sit in the kitchen and the garage. Well I guess now I have plenty of time to arrange things.
Something will turn up sooner or latter. For now I join the towering line of unemployment first time since I have been employed.

hello blogger my old friend...
change is good, change is what happens when we least expect it
so does life
it happens, keeps on moving, flowing
never ending song of happiness or quest for one
I have not rambled on for a log time, at least not here

I worry about steps I'm about to take they involve more than two people
me myself and I is about to be him, two kids and me
plus and assorted list of ex's
*shrug*
big step for all of us
d..n!!!
it's ok to be scared right? I mean nothing worth having is easy at least not in my life

those cute kids sat in my living room last nite all excited
" can we hook up both the X boxes to the big screen Dad..." asked M :)
I keep on trying not to think scared, shoot it's like giving up hard earned independence all over again and I wonder how much I'll bend, will I still have space of my own? Will they still like me after I've been there for more than a few hrs?

if you have not figured it out till now , I'm about to move in with my man *grin* and his two kiddos *deep breath deep breath* moving day is in a few weeks. I don't have doubts that we'll make it work, still doesn't stop my mind from running a marathon.

A grain of salt

last week a few of my co-workers joined the growing group of layed off workers...
I 'm ashamed of my relief that it was them and not me. Truth is the whirlwind of bad economy is no where close to being done.

In all of this i found myself thinking about the deep breaths I've learned to take through this life of mine. I had to remind myself of things I've learned what now feels like a lifetime ago:
I'm alive, I'm whole, my family and those important to me are as well.

Mom said she would have given a fortune for knowing that her kids are alive, not slaughtered... kinda puts things in perspective. Life will go on, humans are capable of surviving some awful things that get thrown their way.
I exhaled on Friday, I lived through the first shake down. I wonder how many more is there to come?

Today I found out my best friend from college lost his job last week as well, I hope we don't turn into alcoholics as we're getting through the tough times. I hope those who have lost their jobs have at least somebody to give them a hug. There is no better comfort than knowing that you're not alone in facing all of this turmoil.

God Bless.

P.S. I surprise myself all the time...
