Goals Part 2

Thank you to the guy at the gas station who so kindly fronted me $3 when my starter checks wouldn't clear. I guess this is karma for this.

I Love My Job

Shocking, I Know

Some of you may be surprised to learn that I can actually be professional and stuff (read: function without being bitchy, snarky or foul mouthed.) It's not often - and not much fun - but it is what it is.

SO...below is my new website for Grown-Up Rags. Feel free to pass it along to anyone who may be able to employ me (or at least buy me a drink.)

Cheers!

Thinking That.....

Although my old life paid the bills, I was utterly miserable living it. And with poverty comes the decision (i.e., the need) to get rid of everything and start anew. I've been trying to start anew for the last two years but was thwarted by Mouth (the brat-formerly-known-as "The Kid".) However, this is the first time it's needed as the bank will take everything I own if I don't jump ship now.

SO....here we go. We're gonna wing it this spring. Mouth is on board as well as Mother. We have no other options. But I'm ready. Been there, done that, moved to two states by myself. Although I didn't have the proverbial baggage that I have now, it'll be good for Mouth and Mother's social security will keep us afloat for a bit.

So grab on and enjoy the ride cause it's gonna get bumpy, folks!

And I'm looking forward to it.

Things I Miss Since I Went From Riches to Rags

I miss grocery shopping without worrying if I can afford one onion or two. I miss grabbing a bag of 'em and being good for a while.

I miss telling the doctor's office that my son and/or I have health insurance.

I miss buying a bottle of wine on my way home from a bad day at work.

I miss being able to escape to Chicago for a weekend for a childhood friend's wedding.

I miss paying my mortgage AND my car payment with one paycheck.

I miss seeing my gas tank on full.

I miss eating out because I just didn't feel like cooking.

I miss blowing my son's mind at Christmas.

I miss my old life.
