Withdraw Sucks

I need to try to write here daily... HA!
Okay, let's be real! I'm going to try weekly :)

Fortunately for me, I love to talk! I also have lots to talk about. Stuff. Lots of stuff. Some of it good and some of it...not so much. Nonetheless...I need to get all my thoughts down, so that when I'm a hundred years old and I'm reading this blog, I can actually REMEMBER the stuff that happened back when I was a hot, young(er) whipper-snapper. (LOL, nm...I don't want to be a blue haired, drooling 100-year-old!) Let's make that eighty!
And by the time I'm eighty, the "computer" will be obsolete...kinda like eight tracks are now!

So, to the point already!
What was my point? Sheesh, who needs to be 100 yrs old to forget things? ;)

Oh yeah, to talk about stuff...

Like the withdraw I'm dealing with and going through right now :(
No, don't worry! It's not heroin, crack, or even pot or alcohol...
its not cigs or a crazy food obsession (although I could use some chocolate right about now) or any type of sexual fettish (well, not that I'm disclosing here anyways! lol)

It is ...
CONCERT WITHDRAW!! UGH!
I feel like I NEED to be in a front row...I don't care if it's freezing, below 10 degrees, and raining/snowing/icing into an open stadium...I'm up for it!!!!!
but...my pockets aren't! :( *siiiigh*

Someday, when I do a "rant and rave" post about how horrible my financial situation is right now, all will be understood. Till then, let's just leave it as "broke as a joke" and not even funny! We got slammed from mid-November till end of December with bad luck and everything going wrong...Therefore, I haven't a dime to spare for anything...especially not concert tickets - a.k.a. my expensive addiction.

For a while it was okay...cuz there wasn't anyone worth my hard earned pennies to waste a small fortune on...but now, that has all changed.

Again, I *siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh*

There are so many bands and such little $dough$...and even my second most favorite band (Buckcherry) is going to be on tour in February! not really NEAR me, but that depends on what is considered "near"! (within 3 hours is NEAR to me...if the band is worth it!) Two shows are "near" me...each one about two hours away and within one week of each other. AND my girlfriend texted me and told me the first one is on a Saturday (which NEVER EVER happens) and they are doing a "girls weekend in Baltimore" for the show.

I will not sigh again. :( I promise.

Now, had I won - er, uhm...I mean...bought a ticket for - that megamillions jackpot the other night (and then won that $355 MILLION) I would be following them all over God's green earth...well, at least until Aerosmith goes back on tour...then, I have to change my path! :)

BUT since I didn't even waste one Stinkin $ on a stupid ticket, I guess I won't be travelling anywhere for the next month or two. Which makes my stupid Winter Blues even worse.

Maybe I can sell something...like the hubby.
He cooks, ya know!
Pfffft...I will have to pay someone to take him.

*leaves to go find some chocolate...or a needle* ;)

Holiday Photos

I have been wanting to have Professional "family" photos done for a while now (meaning all five of us) but timing is always wrong, or someone cant make it...blah blah...

I also always wanted to do photos with just the three of us too. Since this was the first year that "just the three of us" are left at home, we decided to just do it.

Our photographer (Kristen, from Portrait Innovations) told us she has "never had this much fun photographing people" LOL (I'm pretty sure she meant it as a compliment, but it could be because we are all just downright crazy!! :))

I wanted a nice Christmas photo...first and foremost



and I wanted a fun, silly, happy one too...
and Kristen just kind of looked at us funny when we pullled these out...then she just smiled and went with it!! :) :) Favorite...although, I kinda wish I was between the guys, alex looks far away



My silly boy...LOVE this one, not only is he being silly, he's wearing his "I'm up to something" smile...and you just have to love that tie!! ;)



This one turned out great too...I probably like it so much cuz I'm not in it! lol



I was not properly prepared, or I would have had my nails done (duh! didn't even think of it!)
Even so...We look pretty cute together...and happy! :) I think he looks like me??



This is where she made me pretend I like my hubby...seriously! ;)



Another family shot...just okay...


We did have fun doing it and YES, I spent way too much $$$ (or at least more than I budgeted by like $30) but that's okay...I think it was worth it! :)

Hate the Blues

I hate winter. Well, not actually hate it...it's like "the blues" I guess. I hear people say "everyone gets the blues once in a while" but man...this crap has got to end.

therefore...in honor of the winter blues...I'm going to make a list of the things I hate. (real nice way to "return" to the blog huh? lol)

Heres some of the things I hate...in no particular order (at this time)
1. cold
2. stupidity
3. nagging
4. whining
5. short days
6. haters (lol)
7. being broke!
8. rudeness
9. psychos
10. politics
11. golf
12. other stupid sports
13. automated phone systems
14. banks
15. the grocery store
16. distance
17. know-it-alls (a.k.a. snobs or teenagers)
18. running out of toilet paper
19. making hate lists
20. :( (sad faces)
21. thiefs
24. misery
25. winter blues

in the end it is just one vicious hamster wheel...so why even bother "hating" anything.

Peace out
