shoe box


I'm usually not the type of person to complain about my life or the situation I created for myself, but lately I've been having a hard time dealing. I'm 32 years old, live in a freakin' shoe box, sleep on a crappy bed (also my couch), work for peanuts and for what? It's not exactly the life I imagined for myself or for my son. I strive for contentment, but maybe I'm just a little too content with my current situation. I know that divorce and leaving a life of 12 years behind takes time to heal and soul search, but I believe that season is over for me. It's time for me to branch out of my comfort zone and seek the life I want and fully deserve.


On a lighter note, I just got back from the dentist with no cavities. Yay for flossing. I get the biggest kick out of my hygienist. She's always trying to find a polite way of telling me to floss more and better. I just smile and pretend I haven't heard her whole song and dance before. Sometimes I just want to veg, possible fall asleep in the chair while she scraps away the tartar build-up and not get the five-year-old lecture every time. I wish I could say, "yes, I know I don't floss that great, just deal and do your job". I'm a big girl and know that I need to floss everyday, but can I really floss, talk on my cell phone, put my mascara on and find a decent radio station (while driving to work) in the mornings all at the same time? So unrealistic. Anyway, I'm good for another 6 months.

  2. I brush my teeth in the shower too... now the cell phone, radio ... not so great in the shower, but really... much can be done in there... dishes, manicures, shower cleaning, I really try to use the time efficiently.

  4. Lord knows I have broken out of my comfort zone a lot over the years. I am always finding ways to challenge myself and do something that I never thought I would do. I especially like to do things that I can look back on when I am 70 and smile about. Let me know if you would like to start selling sex toys, I've got the hook up.
