Operation Wall Art Complete

I am so excited to show you what I have done. All of these photos were taken by me. What better way, to surround yourself with happiness, then to look at the great places that you visited. Makes we want to get out there and travel more. This is my dining area, off my kitchen. […]

Time for a change

I need to make my house MY house. I painted the paneling in the living room and hallway. It really brightens the room up! A girlfriend of mine said that the hallway wall was screaming for a picture that I shot from a vacation she and I took together. That got me thinking. I […]

Mine, ALL Mine!

My house is officially MY house! I closed on my loan today. It is dispersed next Monday!!! I am so excited!! I can pay off all my debt, except for my house, and start saving some money. I cant believe that it’s been 20 months since my life changed FOREVER. So much has taken place; The […]

1 year and Closure

I have been writing for a year now. When I look back at what I have written and what I have gone through, I think, wow, I made it through one of the hardest things in life and I think I am doing pretty well, considering. I also sent “the letter”(posted in my previous blog). […]

One step closer

2 different psychics told me back in February that my divorce would be final in 6-9 month from then. Well, it will be final in Nov so they were right! Today I signed the final divorce agreement so in about 30 days or so, I will be divorced officially. It took 15 months and a lot of $$$$ to […]

What a difference a year makes

I can’t believe that it’s been a year. Remember when you were young and a year took for ever? As you waited for your birthday, summer break, Halloween, Christmas, you know, the biggest things in a kids life.. As an adult, a year seems to go by so quickly. This past Sunday marks 1 year […]

Couple of updates..

When my nephew passed 3 weeks ago, I really struggled with the decision to let my soon-to-be-ex know the tragic news. He and my nephew had a pretty close relationship. My ex and I have not spoken since he left me last May, except through lawyers. I have no way to reach him so I […]

Tears

I admit that I am a pretty emotional person, so much so that I can even cry during some commercials, depending on the subject. You know… those specific beer commercials they show during the Superbowl for example? If I see someone crying, I cry too. So of course, I have cried plenty of tears since […]

Getting through “The firsts”

This will be my first Valentines Day, in 25 years, with no valentine. This holiday is really no big deal but it goes on the list of the things I have managed to get through for the first time since he left. I got through July 4th, Thanksgiving, my birthday, Christmas and New Years so […]

Too much alone time

It’s such a difference going from having someone to talk to every day for 25 years to being alone in this house. I have have 2 dogs and a cat but, well you know. I am alone a lot! As I mentioned before, I work from home so I am always in this house!! For […]
