It's New Year's Eve. Last NYE was a blast and in case you've forgotten; here's a reminder



I can't even begin to tell you how much my life, and Karen's life have changed in the last year. But as she so eloquently posted on my Facebook, "2011 kicked 2010's ass!! "

I do not have a New Year's Eve dress yet.

AND I'M FREAKING OUT!!

It's girl scout cookie time. I love cookies. I love my kids. I hate selling cookies.

I have 2 daughter's selling and they both want to sell 200 boxes -- each!

Right.

So, that Kindle Fire I want or the new ipod (cause my 6 year old lost mine)? Not gonna happen. Instead, I'll be buying 395 boxes of Samoas at 4 bucks a pop.

$1580 on cookies.

Looks like I won't be making February's rent either. Sorry, Mr. Landlord -- blame the girl scouts and this little cutie:

Wow. WTH? Holy crap, it's been a long time.

Well, I'd like to brag and say that my time has been spent with a new guy and we've been *ahem* busy.... but...

Yea, it's true.

Brag brag brag.

Now, that doesn't mean I've stopped shopping, or drinking. Good lord, I could never stop that. Let's see, what's happened in the last 10 months? I can't possibly go through all the great shopping finds, BUT, I can tell you about a few changes.

In the last 10 months I've gotten 3 new tattoos:

This one is a sunflower. Not a daisy, look, it may resemble a daisy, but it is not. I'm 'artsy', I go for unique and different. It's a sunflower. Anyway, it represents Clytie and Apollo. If you do not know the story, it is quite tragic, like most Greek myths. However, the sunflower is my favorite flower due to this myth. You read about it and find your own moral.

This is a tribal Sagittarius tattoo. Uh, cause I'm a Sagittarius.



And this is dedicated to my job and my daughter, who has Asperger's. Autism Awareness puzzle piece.

I'm sorry I've been MIA. I'll try to do a better job of keeping you abreast of my shopping, tattooing and drinking extravaganzas. OH!!! What am I thinking?

I HAD A BIRTHDAY ---- AND IT DIDN'T SUCK!!


(Lindsey, Jennifer, Jamie and ME!)


AND CHRISTMAS!!!(Sadie, Camille, Me, Mara)

And the gifts my girls got for me:

Hmmm... I don't think there's anything else to tell. Until next time (soon, I promise!)

What can I say, really?

I like going to resale shops. An acquaintance of mine recently opened an upscale consignment shop. I have perused it a few times and have found various things like wrought iron wall hangings and planters (for my rooftop patio).
On my latest trip inside, I decided to check out the coats. What I found was glorious, As I slipped the coat on and took a gander at myself, I heard the shop owner say, "It's you. So you in fact, it's as if you walked in with it on."

SOLD!!

It's faux fur - because I don't wear real. Fur is dead, ya'll. And it cost me $60. I am absolutely in love with it.

It is me, right? So me!

No explanation needed. $1.50 at Bath and Body Works.
