Today's prompt is: What do you wish for?
I wish for this year of sadness to be over. I wish for the next one to be happier. Better. Some year just give you so much more than you feel like you can handle, you know? 2012 was one of those years, actually, the past 3 have been that way. I'm ready for a year where I can just better myself & stop care-taking someone else's addiction. A year where I feel like I matter.

Finally!
We finally got the living room cleaned up and got the tree up & decorated. We bought a brand new one this year, complete with pine cones & berries. It's much taller than we've ever had before & I'm so in love with it! I've gotten all of the gifts we bought for family put in bags, but haven't added tissue or tags, yet. I got distracted when I realized I had misplaced the gift I bought my sister-in-law a few months back. I tore the bedroom up looking for it, but still haven't, so I'm left to assume it got accidentally thrown away & will now have to be replaced.
But, the bedroom is nearly ready for Yule rite, now that I'm having to clean it back up from my futile search! I also found a bunch of shirts I bought to go with my daughter's Yule gift, but since she has decided that I'm not welcome in her life anymore, I have no idea what to do with them. They don't fit me, and they're definitely designed for a woman, so my son has no use for them, either. Maybe I'll donate them to the women's shelter or something.

Join us at Sunday Stealing!
What is your favorite possession? I'm not sure.. my laptop or my XTerra?
Do you like to read? If so, which books do you love best? Yes. Anything with a little suspense or some creep factor.
Do you have any pets? Yep, a dog. Her name is Tiny, she's a German Shepherd mix & she's 9 years old.
What was your favorite food as a child? Is it the same now? Anything my mom hid & declared forbidden. No, now I'm into sushi & such.
What is your favorite thing about blogging? I really believe it helps keep me as sane as I am.
If you could live anywhere, where would it be? Right here is fine.
What is your favorite number? I don't really have one.
Which of these things would you find hardest to give up for a year? Chocolate, reading, coffee or smoking? Reading, hands down.
If you could make your life into a movie, what would you name it.. and who would you want to play you? Divorcing my Daughter.. umm.. I guess whoever wanted to?
If you had £20,000 for a shopping spree, what would you buy? I'd probably just pay off my debt, because that would give me more money in a month to spend.
If you could eat lunch with one famous person, who would it be? Probably no one, I'm pretty shy & don't like eating in front of people I don't know.

So. I let my domain registration lapse, so I'm having to rebuild this site the best I can from scratch. Right now, I can't even figure out how to add a blogroll, so bear with me & I'll try to have things back up & running as quickly as possible.

Sunday Stealing: November 18th, 2012
Join us!
Have You’s and What If’s!
1. Have you anything to confess today? No, I don’t believe I do.
2. have you ever broken a law? If so, what was it? Many times for many things. I’ve been arrested twice, once for shoplifting as a minor & again a few months later for 1st degree arson (the charges were dropped, I was there, I didn’t light any fires)
3. have you ever committed an act of betrayal against a friend or family member? explain. I’m sure I have, but I try not to focus on the mistakes I’ve made in the past, so I don’t really have any examples.
4. Has someone else done something that, to this day, makes you cringe when you think about them committing the act?. Yep. My ex-husband did a lot of things that still make me cringe.
5. Have you ever found yourself sexually aroused by someone that you absolutely should not have been? Nope.
6. have you ever cheated at school? how so? No.
7. What if you came across a backpack stuffed with one hundred thousand dollars. Would you keep it? I would want to, but I’d turn it in to the police.
8. What if you were the most powerful person in the world. How would you use that power? To make things better for people.
9. What if you found a magic lamp? I’d leave it where I found it.
10. What if you could change one thing about the world. What would that one thing be? There would be less intolerance.
11. What if you could take one thing back. What would that one thing be? There really isn’t anything. I’ve made mistakes, took the wrong path at times & hurt people, but I wouldn’t be who I am now without those mistakes & missteps.
12. What if you were stuck on an island forever but had all the water, food and shelter you needed. What would you do? I guess I’d make the most of it, there isn’t much else I could do.
13. What if the internet didn’t exist? I’d do all of things I did to entertain myself before it existed?
14. What if you never started blogging? I would still be me, living the same life I’m living, I’d just be keeping a paper journal & updating it every once in awhile.
15. What are your November 22 Thanksgiving plans? Me, my husband & the kids are going out to eat. We’ve never done it before, but I get so tired of the family drama at my parents’ house.
