Shutterbuggin’ With Sodapop

So this is my third holiday season away from Las Vegas.  This is my first Christmas away from my family.  Ever.  I’ve always been around one family member or another during the holidays and I’m feeling the depression horribly!

I’m also feeling the loneliness that comes with the holiday blues. I’m single. By choice, I admit, but still lonely right now. I would love to be in a relationship with someone right now, but I know I’m not ready.

I’ve been looking at TV’s and tv stands lately, since I’ll be getting a new TV this weekend.

I’ve been trying to focus on my school stuff, to keep my mind off my loneliness and homesickness. It’s not really working, but I’m going to keep trying, that’s for sure.

Until next time…

He has arrived, I believe.  Old Man Winter has found his way to the Ville and it makes me very unhappy!!!!  My feet are in a constant state of “OH MY GOD I’M COLD!” and my body just hates winter.   I’m pulling the big girl panties up and trudging through though!

I had a GREAT time at the Daughtry concert on Saturday. I didn’t really enjoy Theory of a Deadman, but I liked Cavo and Daughtry, of course, rawked my socks off.

I’ve been looking at new tv stands lately. I probably won’t be getting a new one, but in case my new TV (when I get it) is too big or small for my current one, I will have to look at them again, ya know?

Until next time…

Can you believe it’s December already?  I know, crazy stuff!  This year has really flown by!

I was checking out these cigars the other day. Interesting! I’ve never been a cigar smoker, just regular old cigarettes for me, thanks! I find it really intriguing the way some cigar smokers take it so seriously and look for flavor, smell, location of where they were created, etc.

I’ve been feeling ill pretty much since Friday. I had a migraine Friday, Saturday I felt halfway decent, but still had the headache, Sunday I was just beat and yesterday I was hitting the bathroom every 20 minutes. It was nasty. I’m feeling halfway normal today and am planning on going to work. I just need to get up off my duff and get ready!

Until next time…

I finally caught up on most of my bills. I have just one left that I’m having trouble catching up on. I’m just working with them and begging them to be a little more patient with me. The first thing I caught up on was my auto insurance. I didn’t want to have to worry about finding new stuff. Although, I’m sure that website would help me out quite a bit.

Josie has been really needy the last few days. I think it’s because I’ve been playing WoW a lot and not really paying attention to her.

I do, however, need to give her a bath sometime today or tomorrow. She’s stinking something fierce! I also need to clean, clean, clean my apartment. I’ve really let it go downhill the last few weeks and that makes me unhappy. I know once I start doing it, I’ll feel so much better about this place.

Until next time…

I’ve been enjoying my four day weekend, that’s for sure! On Thursday, I went to my Co-Worker’s house for dinner and spent about four hours with her and her family. I love them. They are so sweet and fun to be around! Yesterday I didn’t do a whole lot of anything, until the evening and then I drank way too much and played WoW.

Today, I’m going to the grocery store and doing laundry. I need to look at some acne treatment though. Amazing how when I turned 40 I need more acne stuff than I did when I was in my teens and 20’s. Irritating actually.

Tomorrow I’m going to watch some football and get into my storage room so I can get my Christmas decorations out and start decorating the apartment. I am hoping it will cheer me up.

Until next time…

I used to have a few digital cameras, until I sold my Rebel to my brother. I love digital cameras!!

So last night, I treated myself to a few cocktails. A few too many, as a matter of fact. I killed off a six pack of Molson Canadian AND three shots of Patron silver. I am once again reminded WHY I do not enjoy drinking much anymore. I end up feeling like shit the next day and can hardly do anything other than moan and groan about how badly I feel!

While I had a great time playing WoW while I was super drunk, I am feeling horrid today. I’m shaky, I have a headache and I feel like puking every few minutes. Awesome!!!

I’ve showered and dressed to go to the grocery store and get some food that won’t upset my tummy!

Until next time…

I’ve been really bored lately. Bored with work, bored with the internets, bored with my boring life. Bored. I don’t feel depressed or isolated. I talk to a few people about what’s going on with me and they help me out.

I think once I get back into going to GA meetings again, my attitude will change. I’m actually 100% sure of that little piece of information. When I’m ready to adjust that attitude, I will take care of what I need to take care of.

I was looking at this merchant service website wondering if people actually use it for their business.

Until next time…

I’ve been in my own world lately and I’ve been quite okay with that.  While I understand I haven’t had the healthiest attitude about people, places and things, I still think I’m doing okay.  Is there room for improvement?  Absolutely there is.   I just need to be willing to find that room and the willingness to get there!

A friend was looking for some tuxedo pants. I think the only reason I would be looking for some of those would be for a wedding for a male or a Halloween costume for me!

I’ve met some really cool people since I started playing WoW and Tobe hooked me up with Ventrilo so we could talk. The whole guild can log into vent and we can talk all night or day long while we are playing the game! They use it a lot for their raids too. Although I’m not into the raiding thing yet, it’s nice having all level 80s in my guild. They help me out quite a bit!

Until next time…

There was a time in my life that I wanted to be a home owner. I wanted to own a house and the property it sat on. I wanted to worry about all the little things that come with it. And then I was. And I hated it.

I think I may have hated it because my mom and I got screwed with the loan we got. Looking back on it, I really loved that house and I loved living in it. It was beautiful!

I was looking at these manufactured homes. I grew up in a trailer in Boulder City, NV and there was NOTHING looking like these homes on that website. Oh my gosh! Had we had one of these, I wouldn’t have felt funky living in a trailer park!

Some of those manufacture homes are super nice and nicer than the home I owned in Vegas! Go figure!

Until next time…

I would love to just getaway. I would love to pack up my car for a long road trip and just drive. Or, I’d like to pack my bags and go on one of theseOrlando vacations. Wouldn’t it be nice to just get away to somewhere warm and tropical like? Orlando would offer that!

I could go to Disney World and get my fix of all things Disney. I’m having withdrawals. I used to be able to go to Disneyland on the left coast whenever I wanted. Now, I’m not far enough east or south to make it a weekend getaway unless I fly. Which is not entirely impossible, if I start saving my pennies now! Ya know?

Until next time…
