Better Days

So, I've been sporadic at best the last two weeks.  I was pretty sure my head was going to explode by Monday.  Tuesday night, after the kids were tucked tightly into their beds, I had some wine (2 bottles, ooopsie), watched some DVR'd TV (love, love, love Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends), and sorted my emotional shit...  I think...

That said, I'm back!  Last night, Bob Schneider rocked my world at The Varsity Theatre in Dinkytown.  He is my all time favorite live performer.  It's been three years since I've seen him.  I will not ever wait that long again.


Bob, rockin' the scarf



I'm not entirely sure why Ollie was in a bunny suit, BUT it made for some good laughs!



He's got skillz...  I dig it.

I'm flat broke, actually, more than broke, until Wednesday.  I think I learned a difficult lesson.  I now owe myself $1300.  I will pay it back. 

I've had no health insurance since October 1.  I need to get my but in gear and get all of my paperwork in the mail so insurance can be reinstated.  In addition, I am committing to myself to get any registration info in by December 15 so I can go back to school in the spring.  This fall has been an all time FAIL in productivity and I need to get myself back on track.

I did some bartering with a friend and now have a new water softner, chest freezer, and a keyboard with amp for The Girl for Christmas.  The Boy really wants an XBox.  I think, since I've pulled my head from my ass and will be more careful with my money, I will be able to swing it.

Glamour Girl is taking me to the Vikings game on Sunday.  That should be a blast.  The Boy is going camping this weekend with Cub Scouts (I need to go get him some extra gloves and hats.  It's his first winter camping experience!  I'm excited for him!), and The Girl has a hot date with her Godfather on Friday night.

I've decided I really like the man I've been seeing and I need to stop being shallow and letting stupid things stand in the way of getting to know him better.  He's very different than the typical man for me.  I'm beginning to think maybe that is good, but I'm not one to put the cart before the horse.  So here's to better attitudes and better moods!!!

Finances? I hate finances. While I'm good with my money I could do a LOT better with keeping track of it which means writing it down someplace. Good luck with it.

I think it's great that you're willing to take a chance on the man you're dating. Sometimes going against type can be a wonderful thing!

I hope everything starts going your way. I was very cautious when i got with my fiancee. I have been a single mother for so many years the walls took awhile to come down. We have been together for 3 years, and going one yr of being engaged. Good luck!

YOu just sound like a typical gal trying to be cautious and do things right. you'll figure it out, be confident in yourself, and don't wallow in guilt! You are great!

Ugh. I hate to deal with money and budgeting. It's great that you were able to barter for your daughter's presents.

Good luck with the new guy. Sometimes when you go against type, you find out why things didn't work out with all the other guys.
