One of my New Years Resolutions was to blog every day. So much for that, I blogged once so far this year. Once in a month? What a slacker.
I chose this resolution because, a short time ago (almost 2 1/2 yrs now) I used to blog every day and I loved it. I loved writing, I loved the feedback, I loved the people I "met", the connections I made. At that time in my life I was sitting in front of a computer all day at work and it was an easy thing to get done.
So let's forget about the past month and start a new shall we? If you are new around here and want to read my history,check out my old blog, Sissychong, go right ahead.
What's going on with me? Well I am still living 300 miles away from my family, in the Western Mountains of Maine. Why you ask? I dunno. I guess I am still waiting for something good to come out of this move. I refuse to believe fate brought me here for the sole reason of ending my 12 year marraige, and what a bad ending it was. I think (hope?) there is something good here for me. I am poud of myself for sticking it out here. I have worked hard to make a place for myself in this town. I have made many friends her since the seperation. I have grown and become a new person, and you know what? I like me now. I didn't like me when I was his wife. I was so stressed out with him that I missed a lot of things. And now? I am in a whole different place and it's awesome. It's been 8 months and people tell me they can not believe the changes they have seen in me. What a compliment!
This weekend is going to be awesome. My partner in crime, my sista from anutha mutha, the sugar in my coffee, Shelli (and K-dawg too) are coming up to visit. I am so excited, I have not seen them since Thanksgiving. My kids actually squealed when I told them last week. I have the entire weekend off from work, (holy shit it's a freakin' miracle), and we are gonna have some fun, mountain style! We are going snow tubing with the kids, I am sure therewill be much eating, drinking and merriment!
I was thinking the other day, I think I am ready. I am ready for a companion. Nothing serious, just someone I can call and say, "Hey whadaya doin'?, Wanna watch a movie? Grab a Beer? Pull my hair? Ya know that kind of thing. Maybe it is too soon but I feel ready, or maybe I am just lonely? Or maybe it's the thought of my first Valentines Day alone in almost 18 years? I dunno.
Did I tell ya'all I got a promotion? No of course I didn't because I have been a slacker. Yes, I got a promotion to management. It's a lot more work and a lot less fun than my old position, I haven't decided if I like it or not yet but......I am learning to not judge situations right off, to be patient and see what unfolds.
Many....many other things are going on too, I'll have to catch ya'all up real soon, right now I have to get myself to work!

There is a good thing about moving to Maine, that was the ending of your marriage that once was good but ended because you were miserable. Now that that's done, can you come home?? *insert puppy dog face*
I do notice you are so much happier, although somehow in the worst of times I was still able to crack a joke and make you giggle in your tears and snots. LMFAO
I can't wait til this weekend. Its' gonna be so goshdarn short :(
Peace and luv,
shelli
Blog every single day? Who the hell would resolve to do THAT? Oh, wait a minute. I did. But only for the month of February, not the whole damned year. Sheesh! Glad to have you back, sister. Keep looking forward.
PS - And so what if you're just lonely? Lonely girls need lovin', too! That's why they call them "rebound" relationships. They're just for practice. :-)
Have a great time with Sbells.
I am so happy that you are doing so well girl!
You rock sister.
