Friday Letters

Dear Cheap Tippers, I understand that going out to eat/drink is more expensive than staying home. If you can’t afford a 20%+ tip to someone who makes sure you’re glass is never empty.. please, just stay home. That $1 tip on your $60 bill isn’t fab. However, it wasn’t all that bad considering I thought that person walked out leaving me to pay their $60 tab.. but, still.. a dollar?

Dear Waitressing Job, I really do enjoy you. Sometimes you make me realize how much I don’t like people.. but, I really can’t complain. Before you I was working at a tanning salon making like $7.25 an hour.. working about 25 hours a week.. that’s about $180 a WEEK. I dig being able to make that or more in one shift. I see why some people waitress opposed to getting a career.. but, I just don’t understand how anyone could deal with all of that for more than a few years.

Dear Lucas Blaze, I am SO excited to have all day with you! I’m so glad you’re taking me shopping! I’m also very happy that you went to bed at 2am and hopefully you’ll be up by the time I’m ready.. weird how I can go to bed at 5am and wake up at 9am and be golden. I love you bubba!

Dear Stye, Well.. you suck. You’re starting to make my eyelid take over my entire eye. When I woke up Thursday you were magically there saying good morning in the most painful way. I think 24 hours was a long enough stay.. I promise I’ll be okay if you leave me in the middle of the night.

Dear Shopping, I’m about to do lots of you today.. (ah, I always laugh when it end up like that.. so immature..)… Hopefully I can get more Christmas shopping done than shopping for myself.

Dear Wrapping Paper, Guess what.. I totally dig you. You’re super fab. I enjoy making presents look extra pretty.. even if they’re for boys… especially if it’s for my Lucas.

Dear Anon Tumblr Questions, I know that some of you are using my tumblr to ask me questions you don’t feel comfortable asking me personally. I have considered getting a formspring again.. but, I have to really give it thought. My formspring that I deactivated is awful! Its about 4,000 questions all from my ex and Lucas’ ex.

Dear People who contact me when they shouldn’t, I have never cared enough about anyone in my past to just keep contacting them years late. If you threaten someone’s life and stalk them until they have to get a restraining order.. chances are 3 years later they don’t give two shits about your anti-bullying company. My life is not that interesting. I work, go to school, obsess over Lucas, shop obsessively.. seriously, just get on with your life.

    Very cute. I love your picture. I have never been a waitress but getting $1 would straight piss me off. Hope you get better tippers! I would enjoy working at a tanning salon. Adorable wrapping paper- i usually look for "Barbie" haha. totally agree with people from your past.. they should just stay there. Have fun shopping! <3, Amy

    Loving the mustache cup. Also, I used to work at a tanning salon too -- I feel like people who work at tanning salons share a special bond from dealing with unique and sometimes unfortunate circumstances with our customers, ya know, like pee in beds or pee in garbage cans. GOOD TIMES.

Now or never... (QUICK UPDATE)

I wasn't lying when I said that I wanted to get back into blogging. However, life took multiple turns and I've been too busy to sit down at my computer and produce a decent blog post. It can't hurt to fill in anyone that still reads my blogs, but might not closely follow me on social media. After TWO years of being single and not being into the idea of dating anyone, I'm actually in a relationship. I know at the beginning of a relationship it's expected to be in the state that you feel like you've never been happier. The difference is, I've known my boyfriend for 11 years. When we were young, we'd always act like a couple. We never had a "title" back then no matter how many times we reconnected. Seven months ago, he finally moved back home. I was so excited to have him back in my life. Then I realized that I wasn't okay with just being his friend. After about 5 months of blowing him off and him giving up trying to hang out, I finally ex...

Sleepy Momma

I did plan on posting this previous week and the week before.. however, I've been so incredibly exhausted and busy. I guess that's a great way of putting, welcome to mom life! To be completely honest, I'm so happy with where I'm at in life right now. Yes, there are things that are difficult to deal with and I know some of those things will always be hard. For a while I wished that I could go back well over a year ago and made a different decision. I don't wish that now because I've grown so much and gained things I could never give up. My strength, my motivation and my happiness is at an all time high. It feels amazing. In other news...  I finally got a kitten! She's such a sassy girl, but she can be the most loving thing at times! When she wakes up and I'm next to her or when I pick her up, she grabs my cheeks and kisses me.  The bottom left photo is a result of a playful kitty that needs her nails trimmed. If you foll...

Thoughts from an ex-blogger..

My desire to get back to writing has been so strong lately. I can't seem to figure out if I want to blog again. At the same time, I REALLY want to blog again. I've found comfort in my privacy. This comfort has made me uncomfortable with openly sharing details of my life. However, blogging always was there to provide me with an outlet to express my thoughts, feelings and emotions. The people I was able to connect with through blogging was always an incredible bonus. I didn't want to blog when I realized that people that I don't want to be part of my life were reading my blog posts. During this time I also stopped being active on Twitter and Instagram. I felt that it was unfair to me that specific people were able to catch up on my life via social media. There are many issue I face with returning to my blog. I need to allow myself to step outside of my comfort zone of keeping my life private. I need to be okay with the fact that some people, that shouldn't be ...
