It's True

There's a topic i've been avoiding on this blog for a long time...

John and I aren't together anymore.

I'm guessing you've figured it out, but if not, i can tell you that we've been separated since october.
It sucks, yes. But i don't want to dwell on it. I don't want to humiliate him on here. I don't want to play the blame game. I know what happened, and that's enough.

yes, I tried to make amends. I tried so hard. but eventually, i realized that i am a catch. and i want to be with someone who wants to be with me. not someone who feels obligated.

someone who wakes up every morning and thinks how lucky they are to have me.
how they don't deserve me, but they're so glad i chose them.

and i will find that, when i'm ready.

Until them, i'm relearning about myself (sidenote: therapy and alcohol are wonderful coping mechanisms)

and i've found something i haven't felt in awhile.... I'm happy

and for now, that's more than enough.

Want.

i really do have a legitimate reason to buy it, promise!
but umm, it's $225.
and every extra penny i can save really ought to go towards clothes i can wear to work.
(i have been able to make the sun dresses semi-work appropriate, but i am screwed when the weather turns)

anyone want to treat me to an over-indulgent shopping spree? i promise to (not) pay you back.

People Always Ask Me When I'll be Moving Back Down South

Yesterday, Memphis had a heat index of 116.

In Wisconsin, the staples of my diet are beer and cheese. And I'm often encouraged by others to consumer more beer and cheese.

Plus, we have this.

So.... i'm thinking my answer is, never.

sound good?
