I thought it was probably time for a new blog, though I have left my bucket list up, just in case anyone is interested.

I'm still struggling to complete the corrections on my divorce papers - I've enlisted the help of friends now... I'm uber stumped. I need to get them completed and re-submitted for approval before Heckler and I can even think about setting a date for him coming over to stay.

The bed I've been sleeping on for the past few months at my mom's is a double-sized mattress that used to belong to my grandfather. I would guess it is older than I am. It is rock hard and typically makes me feel worse after a night of "sleep" - I'd often see ever hour while tossing and turning all night. I decided to make a rather major purchase and spoil myself with a new bed. I'll be paying it off for the next few years, but I don't think I can really put a price on a good night's sleep. Omg, it's snugglicious... I've been sleeping like a log baby tongue

Let's see... what else is new? Pagz has a bday coming up, and I'm making the cake for his party next Sunday biggrin I'm debating between a couple different cake designs... either a 3D bear, or... well, you'll just have to wait for the pics wink I think we're going to play laser tag - which is exciting for me, because I've never been before.

I guess that's about all I really have to say right now. I'm not very exciting tongue

My Bucket List

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

I'm trying to focus on personal growth these days, and I thought making up a list of things to do before I die would be a good way to set some goals. Who knows, maybe I'll achieve some of them! I'm using the website My50 as a general guide. You'll notice not all of them are goals that require money - I'm keeping it as down-to-earth and economical as possible.

Okay, here we go, in no particular order (save the first two, lol)

* Complete my divorce

I actually just found out that hedgies are illegal in California ... I don't know what I'm gonna do. I want one so badly, I'm actually crying cause it's illegal. Ugh. Thanks State Laws, way to fuck up my dream.

Also, I won't be shooting anything until I lose at least 30 pounds. frown puke
