Life and Stuff

And when I do, I usually head south to Moab, Utah. When I am there, I’m a different person. I’m the person I long to be. Laid back, carefree and content. There is something about the beautiful red rocks that blocks out the City me.I have even spent a whole summercamping 4 out of 7 nights a week in my relaxing spot for 3 months. I know that when I can financially afford to, I will move there. I love it so much, my parents even bought me a burial plot there.I await the day that I am truely HOME!

I would love to have a home, that I could open up for them. Being that I was a battered women, I know what it is like to not have a way out. If I had known of a place I could’ve taken my daughter and ran to, I would’ve done it in a heartbeat.Most of the shelters for the battered are always full and they cannot take them in. I would love to provide the help I was denied and save women and children from the emotional trauma that never fully has gone away with me.

It was short for daydreaming. We would take turns telling each other a story about life as adults, with our perfect boyfriends, jobs, cars, clothes and bank account. we would fine tune every detail about our lives and sit for hours explaining it. I was sad to see it end when we turned 16. I’m here to tell ya now, I thought adults had it easy! Boy, was I mistaken. I’d live in one of our DD’s anyday, compared to the mess of an existance I have created for myself!

I know this may sound juvinile for a 32 year old woman, but Yes and it was the Twilight saga. I read all four books in 6 days. I couldn’t stop! I stayed up most of the night reading and kinda flipped out when I had to drive 15 miles away to find the third one. Why? They made me feel like a giddy teenage girl again. I wasn’t the stressed out ball of knots, I usually am.I felt twitterpated and happy the entire time. When I finished the last book, I was bummed out. I felt like I would never find another book that would grab me like they did and I picked the first one right back up. I have read the saga 8 times now and have been to each movie and DVD party on the first day. I’m anxiouslly awaiting the 2 part movie “Breaking Dawn“. I felt like that was the best one of all.
