hard lessons..

Saturday night started out great, Oktoberfest is one of my fav events and I always have so much drunken fun, this year was great but ended really, really bad. For once it wasn't my own drama but someone else's that ruined the night, sadly though their drama led to my drama and a really ugly fight. However, I learned some great lessons about people and sadly once again realized that I don't have as many great people as I thought. It really hurts when you give so much to people and then when you really need it, they can't be bothered. I did find out who is willing to do anything for me, even drive hours to come get me if I'm stranded...it's quite a surprising list.
I think the world is telling me that my home is my happy place and I should never leave! ;) But seriously I am over bs and drunken drama...way too old for it.

the weekend..

I finally left my house..lol. Went on a wine date after class Friday night and as usual with Alma had a random blast but I am so getting old, have a couple of glasses and am in bed by two.
Today woke up so early and went to the White Sands Balloon Fiesta....very small but nice to revisit my old Abq balloon days.
Overall a lovely weekend, minus right now watching my stupid football team loose. Grrr!

time flies.... ♥

Today is my 6 month anniversary with A. Time flies and it's crazy, here's a guy I've known forever and never even thought of him as more then a friend..a guy that is completely not my type yet is completely perfect for pain in the ass me. ♥

Zoey..

Saturday was the celebration of the life and death of Chloe, and the addition of Zoey two years ago. I am not sure of her actual birthday or how old she really is but I chose to make Chloe's death day as Zoey's birthday...so to me she is 2! :) It's amazing how much life can change over the years, I feel so blessed to have found this amazing dog and everyday she shows me how fragile life is, how cruel people can be, how powerful love and second chances are.

Pet peeve!

I do not understand why girls think that once you get a boyfriend it means they have to become your entire life..you still have friends remember! I may be the extreme opposite of this and make my friends too important versus my boyfriend but I think you can have both and as most of us know, a lot of the times you and the boy, that you have managed to make more important than your friends, may break up and then you have nothing because you have burned bridges or worse you come crawling back to your friends expecting them to still be there for you. I am sick of being the fall back!
Ok rant done :)

Finally went furniture shopping and soon my lovely new house will be complete! Happy day!! Pics to come...

Labor day weekend...

Drove to Abq and as usual it's eventful...caught up with a really great old friend (rented a hotel room, drank and chatted for hours!), then had Desiree fun, realized that sometimes some friendships aren't meant to last forever, that they are just brought to you for a short time and purpose (sad but finally I'm ok with loosing some people) and then went to Wine Fest and almost died (got heat stroke and seriously scariest feeling...heat is bad!)...so now back home and I'm reminded of why I don't like to leave anymore! ;)

I am sickened by what's happening to the world, especially how we treat animals. When did it become ok for us to think that because we are "superior" to them, that it's ok to do whatever we want to them, slaughter them, torture them for our amusement. It says so much about human nature. I was once almost a complete Vegan and was an avid PETA member, the stuff I saw and read made me never look at animals the same. I have become almost desensitized to it at this point, become once again selfish but I am going back to becoming a Vegan. Also I just watched The Cove and will never look at Sea World the same. My heart breaks for what we are doing....
