I know you've missed me!! All of my 3 readers are having withdrawls so I figured I would end your misery and come back :) you can thank me later. Preferably in monetary ways lol Just kidding just kidding (but I'm serious, I need money people)
Ok, so where have I been?? I'm sure you're wondering...
I won an all expense paid trip around the world and I couldn't pass it up so I packed my bags in less than 5 minutes and headed out to see the world. It started with a cruise to Cancun... It was nice but way over populated and waay to Americanized (not a word, I don't care its my blog) so I quickly hopped on a plan and headed to New Zealand... Ive been dying to lay on what is apparently the most romantic beach in the world. The black sand beach wasn't all it was cracked up to be. Maybe you need someone with you to completely understand the "sexiness" of the beach... Hmmmm note to self: find someone to lay on beach with me and slather me with oil and feed me grapes.
Anyways... I stayed on the beach for a couple days and then decided I wanted to see Ireland. So... that's where I went. Met an incredible Irishman who turned out to be a drunk and tried to talk me into allowing his goat to sleep in the bed with us. After about an hour of arguing with him about how good of a snuggler a goat REALLY can be, I decided that this little Irish/goat-man romance wasn't going anywhere.
So, after a year of traveling the world, turning down snuggling goats, eatting amazing food, screwing up several languages I wanted to come back home. Back to overweight, ungrateful, cell phone using, chain smoking, polluted air AMERICA!!!
So... did ya'll really believe any of that?? I hope you did, at least for a split second ;) No, really I've been going through a pretty brutal divorce. Sorry to ruin it for you guys... Rest assured my life has been just as interesting as the traveling around the world story but not nearly as glamorous! In the last year I have experianced a lifetimes worth of heartache. Ive found myself alone again. But its getting better. I really truly am making the best of it all.
Things Ive learned over the past year:
1) I CAN NOT kill a bug... Ive always depended on a man. I cant stand that horrible crunching noise
2) I physically miss art... never knew what a connection and longing Ive had to do something, ANYTHING creative. I need it... my soul needs to create (thats why Im blogging again)
3) I can now patch a tire if I had to... thanks to my dads never ending lectures about how a woman should be just as capable as a man blah blah blah
4) I want to mow grass!! Ive never done it. How sad is that!?
5) Material things mean nothing to me.... Ive had and Ive done without... Im a happy person either way
6) I WANT TO GO SHOPPING DAMNIT!!! Yes, disregard #5 Im a girl and I miss shopping.
*******And Last but most important*******
7) Life wouldnt matter without Luke & Larry Hayden
Stay tuned because I will be updating fairly regularly keeping all of you loyal folks up to date on my crazy beautiful life.
Remind me to tell you about Brett ;) He's pretty much my favorite. But that's a whole other blog for a whole other day.
