Life has a way of kicking you in the sack...for the better sometimes

I've awoke from my long hibernation. For how long? Who knows, but enough time has passed that I thought I should check in. Frankly, I'm not surprised at myself. I have the hardest time focusing on things I actually enjoy. You see, I have what I like to refer to as short lived ambition. The ambition is there, just not for extended periods of time. This will be my downfall...but until then, I'm back as long as I don't see any shiny objects.

So what has happened in my glamorous life since we last spoke? A little bit of this and a bit of that. I haven't contracted any unspeakable diseases, so that's a bonus.

Before U2 came on stage

I wrote this post on the train to Moncton, NB about a week ago and let me tell you, riding VIA Rail in coach is where its at - and I say that with a ridiculous amount of sarcasm. I was travelling to go see a U2 concert and Grammy winners Arcade Fire along with 80,000 other people. I thought that being too poor to have grandstand tickets was going to suck because I would have to stand in mud after all the rain that fell, but it actually worked out quite well. My brother and I had prime standing space at Magnetic Hill and could see the stage so well Bono could have sweat on me. The part I hated was the ride up to Moncton because my bro and I were sitting behind some smelly hippies. Literally, they stunk to high heavens. Along with the smelly-o's there was a grouchy Acadian lady to my right. She needed to relax and take a laxative or something.

 

Graduation time!

My little Pipster graduated from Preschool which is exciting. What a milestone of not forking over anymore cash for her. I intend to remind her when she is older of how expensive the last 2.5 years have been for me until the day she moves out. 

What else? I've lost 15lbs since December. Couldn't tell you how, but I'll take it. Frankly, I probably have a parasite which is gross to think about, but beauty is pain my friends.

 

Lastly, and the biggest news is that Hubby and I have decided to part ways. Yes, I am a single lady...and it doesn't feel any different than being married, except that I have more room in bed and more closet space. This happened in June but rest assured Internet people, we are still the best of friends and co-parenting the Pipster. She's still number one and thankfully we are both smart enough to know this. There will be no Dina/Michael Lohan antics happening in our life.

I wonder if I'm a candidate for Lowered Expectations. I'd want my dating video to sound like this.

                     

I'm pretty sure that would bring all the boys to the yard.

Well, that is really the highlights from the last 7 months. I think I mentioned "my glamorous life" earlier. If standing in mud, getting separated and the possibility of having a parasite is glamorous, break out the sequints baby.
