Who Stole My Zen?

Today (well really tomorrow but it’s already today in the Netherlands) is the birthday of my best friend!  She’s 40 today.  I’m going to be analyzing her very closely over the next six months to see how she handles the big FORTY because I’ll need all the insider tips for when my own “20, The Sequel” hits in September.

Happy Birthday DB!  You are truly one of the  best friends I’ve ever had.  You’ve always been there for me, no matter what the situation.  When I hurt, you hurt right along with me.  When I’m happy, you’re there smiling with me.  When someone does me wrong, you’re ready to kick ass and shove a thigh-high red stiletto boot down someone’s throat.  When everything in my world seems like it’s upside down and inside out, I know that you’re always there with an ear for me to bitch to.  When a douchebag man breaks my heart, you’re always there to remind me that they’re assholes and not worthy of my time and energy.  Let’s also not forget that you keep me supplied with the nectar of the gods known as Dutch Coffee.   You’re an amazing daughter, sister, mother and you’re by far the most amazing friend I’ve ever had.  For that, I truly to love you bunches and bunches.   Happy Birthday my beautiful friend.  You’re one in a million

Make sure you go and leave her lots of good birthday wishes!!

So it’s been a few months since I’ve blogged.  The trusty pretty red laptop decided to take a shit and die.  My former brother-in-law is in the process of trying to revive it, if possible.  Time will tell.  A lot of time actually as he’s not known for exactly rushing projects that aren’t in any way related to his business.  Whatever.  At this point, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

So there’s not much to update here really.  I mean, anyone that cares with keeping up with me has done so on Twitter or via FB updates.  But I will say that it’s nice to be able to come back here and know that I have my little zone where I can rant on for more than 140 characters at a time.

The Rookie boyfriend is no longer.  We had a rather unpleasant parting of the ways and I have to say, my life is MUCH better since this happened.  He turned out to be a selfish jerk of an asshole who thought of no one but himself.  And let’s just say that at very important things in a relationship…..HE FAILED and sucked beyond measure.  I’ll leave it at that.  Oh and he hogged the bed and messed up the blankets something fierce.  That always pissed me off!  Good riddance to that aspect of my life.  So I’m back on the single path again and yanno….it is what it is.  I’m neither bothered by this nor concerned with it.  If a man comes along, great.  If not, whatever.

So there’s a brief update after a not so brief hiatus.  I’m going to try to revive this little spot here because I like it.  So hang around, visit, comment, whatever it is that you do.  I’ll be back.

Ahh, it’s been a minute since I’ve posted…again.  I just get so wrapped up in life and all of it’s melodramatic issues that I often forget to come and write about it.  It’s also easier to do it in 140 characters or less on Twitter…but whatever.  So here’s a brief synopsis of what’s been happening.

• Week before last, found out that our landlord hasn’t paid his mortgage the entire time we’ve been living in this house (since March 2009)
• The landlord also hasn’t paid his 2009 property taxes and is also behind in his HOA dues.
• All of these things are making foreclosure on this home imminent.
• We decided to move
• We also decided that we would not be paying November’s rent as eviction due to foreclosure would be happening at any time and we needed to be prepared with a new roof over our head.
• We got a three day notice on our door on Tuesday of this week. (Landlord is a fucking douchebag but the 3 day notice was expected)
• On Wednesday we looked at a beautiful town-home just 3 minutes up the road.  Both Joy and I fell in love with it!
• On Friday, we secured said town-home and we can start moving in as early as Monday evening!

It’s so crazy how everything happened so quickly yet all came together so smoothly and seamlessly at the end.  Now I just have to get my ass in gear and start packing things up.  I hate that part.  It makes me really cranky!  The Rookie keeps trying to give me packing tips and advice on moving.  He really doesn’t know who he’s dealing with.  I have moved so many times in my life that I could pack and unpack a UHaul in my sleep and never miss a step!    He also put a piece of bacon in my deep fryer last night.  Umm, my deep fryer is filled with Vegetable Oil.  I don’t eat pork.  I told him he was on for replacing the oil in the deep fryer today.

Last night was really fun.  Joy and I got invited to a Nintendo Wii Fit Plus Launch Party by a super cool blogger.   It was in a downtown studio (Orlando) and we did yoga and some other Wii Fit Plus games as well as had some great veggie snacks to eat and I had a glass of wine and a strawberry at the end of the evening.  Yum.    The best part was when we got to have our “Oprah” moment!  Nintendo gave each one of us a Nintendo Wii Fit Plus (balance board and game) and a super nice Wii Fit Plus jacket just like the trainers were wearing.  I guess I now have no excuse for not doing Yoga every day and getting my culo gorda in gear!

On that note, I’m off to go clean out my closet and finally get rid of those “fat clothes” once and for all!
