This morning I was in the shower. And, I noticed this little granddaddy long legs (GDLL) (or it is daddy long legs?) trying to drop on me. It was a baby one. I did the logical thing and cupped water to drop on it. So it would drown. Hahaha. Evil bug.
This is when I noticed the huge and probably older and wiser GDLL in the upper corner of the wall. I feel certain that that GDLL encouraged the little one to drop down and practice climbing back up. Spiders totally need to practice that stuff, it’s not like it’s intuitive. I splashed water all over it’s web and the little one was having issues. Then I got to thinking that the older GDLL was a horrible parent, encouraging it’s child to practice webdropping while a human (me) with a propensity for killing and drowning his kind was standing there. Then, I realized that the older GDLL probably wasn’t the little one’s parent at all. He is probably an evil uncle or something and is trying to act like he’s helping the little one but really wants him dead so he can have all of the little flies and stuff to himself. Ass!! Don’t fret. The little GDLL made it up the wall and to the far corner. He has a few hours left to live. I’m totally spraying both of them to death with Raid when I get home.
Since my contest winner didn’t get in touch with my in a week like I asked, or even
in a week and a half, sadly, I have chosen a new winner. But, yay for you guys! Snorg Tee, round two!
This means that LittleBig is the winner! Please let in touch with me ASAP and I will give you the info to get the tee.
Breaking up is really hard. As if you didn’t already know that. But, I forgot how hard. I was so comfortable in my life revolving around someone else’s plans and what I was going to do with someone else that I forgot to take care of alone time. Like, I still had alone time, but now I have a lot of it. It’s weird having to come up with all of my own plans and not consult someone else. Or, if all else fails, laying on the couch with the someone else and watching tv. It’s different watching it alone.
People keep saying, “The right person will come along, you just haven’t found him yet” or “You need someone who (fill in the blank).” But, what if that person doesn’t exist? What if this is it and I have to learn how to be happy with myself and only myself for forever? That’s a reality. And, it’s okay. I should be okay with myself and just myself. I keep asking myself, “What if there isn’t?” For the first time, I’m really facing this possible future.
Before anything else, I have to be happy with myself. And it’s weird that most of the people in my life are acting like this is a hiatus. Like, “Work on yourself while you’re single. Get to know yourself, while you’re single. While you’re single, blah blah blah.” I don’t know if being single should be treated like a vacation from being in a relationship. Isn’t being in my own skin more important and more valid? Why should I stay single for a certain amount of time? Why is it a given that I will soon find someone else? Is it me, or is this how it is for everyone? Does my personality scream, “I NEED A RELATIONSHIP TO BE VALIDATED!“ That’s what it seems. And, I wonder, can anything work? Is there really love that lasts a lifetime?
I have a very close friend who met this guy, like, 8 or 9 years ago and he was wonderful. They were that perfect couple, the one that just makes you a little sick. But you love both of them and they are such amazing people you can’t really ever hate them. Even though she’s your friend, you find yourself getting to be close with him, too. And everything with them is so cute and so wonderful. My friend and the guy were married several years ago and it was so happy and so adorable. The perfect ceremony and party. He left her suddenly for another woman months ago. If they can’t make it, who can?
I have so many questions and maybe this is just the response to the break up and being in my 20′s, which, apparently, everyone in their 30′s is happy to get out of because “it’s such an insecure time.” I just don’t know anymore. Really, I never did. Any thoughts?
I got home from work yesterday, and one of my neighbors ran up to me and started talking. I had the headphones on and couldn’t hear what she was saying. I hadn’t even gotten off the scooter yet, ya’ll. Anyways, she started telling me that all of the other scooters in the neighborhood were stolen last night, “even the ones that were locked up!!“ I totally don’t believe that the locked up ones were stolen, I’m pretty sure she was just trying to scare me. Especially because mine is so much cooler than hers, being seafoam green and all, and no one took it. Then she said, “Just wanted to let you know,” then ran away. Bitch. She just wanted to complain about her scooter getting stolen. You parked it in the street for God’s sake!! Might as well write a note on it that asks to be stolen.
Now, I’m totally worried and paranoid. Should I sleep out there with it? Is it scared? Are they going to come back with magic tools to get through my lock?! Are they satisfied with the take they got on my neighborhood last night? Can I please please please park it in your backyard or living room? It’s too heavy for me to get it up the stairs into mine. ‘sigh’
Also, one of my other neighbors came home and called Caspian, “Rochester” right in front of me!! Lady, you know his name, seriously. I’m his mom. I don’t appreciate you calling him some weird name. She told me that everyone has their own name for him, like that’s some excuse or something. Geez.
I got the tattoo! Well, I got half of it. Here is a pic!
I couldn’t really get a great picture because I was taking the pictures by myself. There is a yarn ball with knitting needles in it, I love!
I’m at the freak out point right now. You know, OMG!! There’s a huge tattoo on my arm and it’s going to be there forever! This also happened to me when I got the sparrow and now I love it and can’t imagine not having it. Just takes a little while to get used to seeing a different arm. Here’s a few more pictures. I took them all with a remote, which makes them a little hilarious.
Yay tattoos!!
I put up some new stuff in my shop lately. I have had a wonderful time creating these pieces. They’re so much fun to make and I feel really inspired creatively all the time because I’m constantly working on something new. Knitting is awesome, but sometimes I get in knitting ruts and it’s not the same as making jewelry. Jewelry is more instantly satisfying. I wanted to show off some of my pieces to you! (I want to do something to pursue art full time and this is the closest I’m getting right now. )
You can get it here.
And this one here.
Here!!
Aqui!!
Having some people buy my art/jewelry could really lift my spirits right now, ya’ll. Just putting it out there. :)
It’s that time! I have been really excited about this contest, especially in light of the wonderful week I’ve been having.
The winner of a Snorg Tees of her choice is Cher!! Yay Cher!
Please contact me and I will get the information to you. You have one week before I choose another winner.
Thanks, ya’ll, for participating! Have great 4ths! Oh, I went to class last night and only managed to hurt myself a little. I hit my finger with the hammer, but my teacher said we needed to practice with the hammer and hitting ourselves with it. I was like, “Are you kidding me? We’re supposed to practice hitting ourselves?” She then proceeded to hit herself about 3 times, accidentally, and was nonplussed.
And here are some pictures of my pendent’s progress.
I’m getting my tattoo today if all goes well. I’m really nervous and haven’t seen the design yet. Which, I am starting to realize is abnormal. I will have pictures if I go through with it.
So, this week has been super tough. Justin & I broke up.
I’m not going to go into any details, but I do want to say that my lady friends have been absolutely amazing. Like, beyond amazing. Like, I didn’t know they love me so much or that I have such good friends. These girls have been in my face, which I have needed. Calling, texting, facebook messaging, showing up at my house. Sitting in the bathroom with my so I can cry and not be embarrassed in front of our other friends. I’m so touched at the outpouring of love and support I’ve received.
I have plans all weekend and for the rest of the week so I don’t have to be alone. These girls have shown up for me in a big way and I can’t thank them or express enough how much this means to me. Not to mention thankful.
So, maybe reach out to a girlfriend who is having a hard time today and ask her how she’s doing. It has meant so much to me.
