Life to Date

In August, I went and visited some family in WV....been a long time since I have seen my father's side of the family. I surprised my grandmother with the visit. It was nice to spend sometime in WV with the family and well I am going back for Turkey Day. The best part of the my trip...the drive back. The mountains are beautiful.

Also in August- was the 1 month anniversary of no alcohol. After my stint in the hospital, I took some time off.



In September, I went to Florida for my birthday to spend sometime with my mom and get a tan and generally just RELAX. It was a great trip. My mom made wonderful food and as I was never much of a cook....I learned a few tips and tricks and I actually enjoy cooking. I often call mom for ideas. She gave me A LOT of great presents....one of my favorites is an off-white sweater dress which I am looking forward to wearing this winter. In addition I had my first drink since the hospital incident.



Upon coming home from Florida, I had to make a decision regarding my car. After several attempts to bring my ZX2 back to life....I said screw it. Well I bought a new car on September 10. Totaled it September 12th. Not a great week. I bought a Chevy Cobalt....bright blue. She was beautiful and totally me. On a rainy evening I was leaving a "friends" house and well lost control of my vehicle on a windy road, did at least a 540 degree spin and slammed the driver's rear into a telephone poll. Dislocated my shoulder, bruised my face (I still have a slight bruise in NOVEMBER!). Needless to say insurance did not pay for the entire amount of my vehicle and I am now paying the difference of $1400 for a car I don't even own. The plus side....I still have the ZX2 and he is behaving, for now.


So I decided to join a kickball team. While I am not a fan of the color pink....my PINK team rocked. We may have lost every game, but we had an awesome time doing it. The picture is from after the last game when we went out to The Whiskey for an end of the year happy hour. It was a blast and I loved everyone on my team. I made some great friends and had a blast doing it. Even though I am clumsy to a fault....I managed to not get injured! I'll definitely do it again next year!



Well Flo is still alive....barely. She definitely does not look like the picture to the left and I couldn't bare to take a new photo of her. I am going to pass her off to Traci when she moves into her new home...perhaps she can bring her back to life. I would like to get a new plant this spring.....we'll see what happens. I tend to murder them.
