Der-Ah-Ma!

It's been way over a month since I've posted anything here and I'm truly sorry. And over the last month, there has been some drama in our home. Now, I'm not big on drama. I prefer that it stay the heck away from me! But, this little tidbit grabbed hold, bit deep, and would NOT shake loose until I sprayed it down with some "Dram-away"!! LOL.

The jist of the story is this:

I got a roommate - someone who I thought I knew, and apparently didn't
know as well as I thought - and then I kicked him out when he sexually harrassed
me verbally!! He did not take me seriously (obviously) and instead of moving
out, he took a 2-week vacation to New York. [Niiiiice] He was issued a written
eviction notice and while he was gone, I took the liberty of packing his things
for him and changing the locks. Bye bye Roomy.

There are many details to this story, but some are disturbing while others are simply disgusting (like what I found in his room while packing his stuff). I won't share them with you here.

On to better things....

MY BIRTHDAY IS COMING!! That's right... I'll be 29 again (and again, and again, and AGAIN.) Yeah!! I love presents! And cake! And hanging out with my friends to celebrate ME. LOL.

I have big plans for when I turn - [uh-hum] - 30, which is right around the corner (and has been for a long time). Alex and I have discussed this plan several times. I want to move away from my home state and find somewhere else to be. I'm so tired of the hum-drum same 'ol city and the fact that everything "new" around here serves food! Can't they liven up this joint with something besides restaurants??? Puh-lease!!

Although we haven't set our minds on any specific place, we have tossed around some ideas. All of those new places that we've discussed are in the Northern United States. We'll see where we land. As I said, no specifics have been chosen yet. We just know we want someplace cool/cold with little to no humidity.

Anything else to tell you?? Alex has moved back into her room. Yeah! She's very happy with that and, as I've expressed before, so is her daddy. She's back to babysitting and lazily looking for a job. We've come full circle very quickly! She still would like to move out again, but she's in much less of a hurry than she was the first time.

Alex learned some very valuable lessons in a short period of time. There are things about herself that she is working on and things she has already fixed (with a little bit of input from momma). I think one of the important lessons she has learned is "sometimes you have to re-evaluate the people you think are your friends". I still don't approve of ALL the people she hangs out with, but she is slowly weeding out the ones who are really bad.

Life is sweet again.
