rock bottom.

can this just be rock bottom?

can we all just let this be the low point?

i'm so embarrassed...

my car was repossessed...

we got so behind a few months ago when bazinga got sick, then roomie was robbed & i had to cover his 'scripts & part of her rent & my bills got put to the back burner.
i couldn't make payments on time & they took my car.

i can't believe it.

sometimes i feel like i can barely breath.

i luv it here & i luv the possibilities that this home has, but what else can possibly happen?

i'm going home for 2 weeks. i leave Jan 3rd. I just hope, hope, hope that i can come back with a rejuvenated spirit & can pick myself up, brush myself off, & make this life work.

i don't need bright, shiny things, i just want a bright, shiny happiness to fill our little home.

just, please, let's just let this be rock bottom. my hope can't take much more.

silver lining: i can't wait to see my family, my friends &, maybe even most of all, that dog, little Holly GoLightly pup whom i've missed so much i can't take it.

blogger book worm 'ganza [exchange]

I thought about doing this last year, but i just didn't get around to it....

as is life...

So, this year, even though it's a bit late, i decided to give it a whirl, even if we only get a few people, maybe we can try again next year, or make it a bi-tri-yearly thing!

I'm happy to announce that i reached my reading goal for the year [12 books] & once i'm done the one i'm on now, i'll have reached my "expert goal" of 15 books in a year!!!

My vision:

a "secret santa" of sorts, where everyone sends their favourite book to the person chosen for them.
i thought that this could be a great way to open someones mind to your literary "comfort food".

If you'd like to sign up, please follow THIS link by December 31st!

We'll all have a chance to read a new book & to broaden someone's mind to our favourite wordies!

the book that you send should be a gift, so it can adorn your giftie's bookshelf forever, so please make sure that you understand you will NOT be getting it back!
[aka, don't send your signed or first edition copy!]

i hope we get some good number!

please, also, feel free to re-post this on YOUR blog so we can REALLY expand!!!

CSN obsession!

I've been looking at a bunch of places for furniture: desk, beds, tables, & home bar furniture.

then i got a chance & I'm totally stoked, to write a review for the site CSNstores.com!!!

It's going to be SO awesome to get a new piece for this silly empty apartment!!!

I've also been looking at a few other stores for other items i wish i could afford to have in my place. i love these blue stools, but we don't have a counter to put them up to!

Holsag Henry Custom Bar Stool

there's a ton of other awesome home bar ware at allbarstools.com!

I've been looking at all the things available on CSN & what i'd want from there if i had billions of dollars to furnish my entire dream house, then editing down to the things that i would want for this itty apartment, then, realizing that my butt is killing me from sitting on the floor & getting side tracked looking at bean bag chairs...

[which aren't too cute, but def look like a cozy place for my bottom!]

sofa's...

bedroom sets...

& of course a home bar...

but, i think the most practical thing for us right now is probably a bathroom organizer, for the teeny little closet of a bathroom we have!

the hard part will be getting Bazinga to help me make a choice. haha

wanna weigh in? leave a comment telling me what YOU think the most practical item would be.

look for my review, coming soon!
