hell week part 2

So I got through this week...amazingly I got through lots without a hitch. Now I have to brace myself for this week...which will be the worst, between lawyers, bank managers, cops and avoiding all sorts of legal hassles and debts eating me alive.

hell week....

Either I muster up the courage to take care of all I have to take care of RIGHT NOW or I never will. As my dad always tells me...you have to be the hunter, not the moving target.It's the life lesson I need...not to run away from problems. I'm going to swallow my fears and grow up,once and for all.... Sign in to see full entry.

Taking it one day at a time...

While my parents are screaming and yelling in the background, telling me that I'm a disgrace to the family. I'm not proud of what I've done, I've made the mistakes I've made (and they've made theirs, too) but all that's left for me to do now is sink or swim. Eleanor Roosvelt said it best: people...

Things seem better....but only a little bit.....

Ok, yesterday I left off by saying that I had to go see a lawyer about all these hassles (which are only a handful!). I do at least trust this one, as his dad was my dad's best friend and he's done a lot for us...so at least I can (slightly) rest easy.... A collection agency -not by any means...

The 3 Ds have done me in again - debt, dumb mistakes, and depression....

Hello everyone, especially to all those fine people that I would keep in contact with when I read and posted regularly before rudely disappearing into thin air....it's been a while. I haven't posted here in ages, even though I've kept my subscription. I'm glad I have kept it...I need a safe... Sign in to see full entry.

Oh, what a night!

Spumante was flowing from the balconies! Fireworks in they sky that contrasted the lightning of a thunderstorm! People were dancing in the street....hugging...kissing....crying......being NICE to each other for a change! Traffic backed up for MILES....and no one cared! WE WON THE WORLD CUP, DAMMIT!...

It serves you right for showing off your fake boobs in public!

Something WAY too funny happened to me this afternoon at the beach! So there I was all comfy cosy on my lounge chair soaking up the sun (yes, I do wear super-duper sunblock!) without a care in the world on the section of the beach where topless sunbathing is "acceptable"...not that you would get...

Happy fourth of July wishes from an expat...

You're a little fuller....but you look great!

Ever get that line from someone who oh-so-tactfully(?) wants to tell you that you look a little bit on the chubsy-ubsy side? I got that the other day....you must realize that I'm anywhere between sizes 6 and 8, depending on how clothes are cut, I exercise an average of 2 hours a day and I eat right....
