Friends, Gardening, and Tequila!

This weekend my new bestie Annie came to visit Alice and I!  We had a lot of fun goofing around in the garden, eating baked goods, and being silly.  I can't remember the last time I hung out with a couple of girls and had that much fun!

I met Annie through Kevin when he moved in with us this last time.  Kevin has lived with us twice before, and this was the final time to help him get on his feet.  Annie and him had an interesting relationship... Obviously they were a thing, but he was always saying they were just friends.  Eventually he manned up and professed his love, only to then cause conflict bringing their relationship to a rocky point.  But Annie is so loving and kind, I think they can work through anything and he agrees that he is so lucky to have her in his life at all!

Anyway, sadly, Kevin and I reached a breaking point too after he made some bad choices, although I understand his emotional place, but it caused too much stress for me and I opted for distance.  It's not easy to do when you've been so close to someone for so many years, but I understand now that it is healthy to do so and have been choosing my husband and me over other people's issues.

However, this was a conflict that affected Annie and Alice too, and believe me it got a little bit high school for a moment while I was away in Arizona!  And I don't mean to air out dirty laundry at all, just giving you background to how we decided to have a girls weekend.

So after the rift between Kevin and I, and the obstacles between him and Annie, and the discomfort Alice went through during the high school moments, Annie decided to come visit us all, first stopping by Kevin's to offer support then coming over and spending the night here to offer support too!

Kevin had mixed feelings but ultimately he came to the conclusion that it was good us three girls bonded... just not that weekend, he was a sour puss that weekend! LOL

First Annie helped me clean and get organized and then Alice and Annie joined me in the garden to plan some oak trees.  It was like I was giving a mini class, and we all felt so relaxed and healed upon gardening.  That night we had shots of Tequila and walked down to visit our neighbor to hang out and fill our fun cups with amusement.  Then we walked back in the dark, laughing.  My husband, Robert found us amusing and was pleased I was having a girls weekend, in fact he suggested it happen more often!  The next morning we ate delicious cookies which Alice baked for us and eventually had to say goodbye to Annie.

Thank to Annie's Snap Chat we were able to document our adventure!



I hope we have more weekends like this, perhaps even out elsewhere.  The last time we had a girl adventure was with Lisuli for the Texas Rescue Mission, but that wasn't quite the same!!!

Maybe next time I can get Lisuli to join us too!

BFC Ink Doll Collection Complete!!

Well, if it isn't obvious, I got into doll collection, but I suppose I always was a doll collector, just not really by choice as my mom would buy me a porcelain doll every year for my birthday until I moved away for college, but even then I still got porcelain dolls as gifts from her and other members of my family. Over the years of course I have collected dolls from the 80's like the Kimberly doll by Tommy, and of course Barbie...  then I got into repainting Bratz dolls the past couple of years and added Monster High to the list of dolls to look for at flea markets etc... But one day, by chance I came across the now out of production MGA Entertainment 18" BFC Ink (Best Friends Club Ink) dolls.  These dolls are way cuter, in my opinion, than American Girl Dolls (which I really do not like at all actually) or Journey Girls etc...  They have a hard body all the way and were made in two types.  The first productions were just all vinyl bodies, much like the Wellie W...

Day 18: Gotta get ready for the February Show with Finding THETIS

I have been getting up late.  This is getting out of hand... and I really need to go back to the Kaiser clinic to get my blood-work done.  I've lost the morning, but I can at least go out and earn money.  I get dressed, my butterfly print top, and khaki pants... I opt to wear my slipper boots... who do I have to impress?  This is not my best outfit.  I don't care. I get to work but it is already 1:30.  After a couple of rides I remember it is Thursday.  Wasn't I going to carpool with Bryce from Finding THETIS?  I send a text message. "We carpooling?" "I was just thinking about you" he replies.  We joke about food before hand and decide to grab pizza on the way to practice, thus we should meet up at 4.  Itis now about 2:30 and I become self aware to what I am wearing... yeah, no one cares, but suddenly I don't want to be this frumpy around my band.  I stop by Ross and buy some dressy pants, a dressier blue shirt, and some shoes, I ...

Divorce is a hell of an experience.

It's really difficult to shine your inner light and love when you are overwhelmed with gloomy circumstances. I am for the most part doing okay. But my soon to be officially ex-husband is so cheery and happy to be rid of me until I try to talk to him and figure things out. He thinks staying out of my way is better, but if I don't see him but know he is here, it hurts, and if I see him, as happy as I am to see him, I remember the reality of things and it hurts... I want him here and I want him out. He'll survive this and thrive, and I will survive this and struggle... but it is a struggle that will lead to growth. I know that. All I want is my home... I don't want to lose my home. It's all financial for him but it is more than that to me. This is where my mom will ultimately come live, with my brother too. This is where I want to raise kids which I hope to adopt since life threw me this situation. This is where my animals are happy and can ...
