Trying to keep up guys!  I've just restocked my shop *again* with a bunch of caught up custom requests and a few new pieces. 

I've also got my promotional postcards in and sitting out on display at the day job.  Already had quite a few people taken by the cards.  yeah yeah yeah!

I don't get as much time in my garden as I would like; but at least now that it's producing, my sister goes out and is picking and eating what's growing.  I'll get some soon!

I've got my plane ticket for Labor Day Weekend, and I'm excited.  I haven't gotten to celebrate my birthday in 2 years now!  First, due to divorce, and Second due to poor choices and bad boyfriend.  BUT, I am DETERMINED, and more importantly, my new friends seem to be determined, that I'm going to actually GET to celebrate this year! 

I'm a bit dubious over whether or not my sister and roomate will even remember or try to do anything, but I know my two new girlfriends from work both want to take me out; and if I felt up to playing a game of "Don't Touch Me!" I could go out with this guy friend of mine who doesn't quite seem to understand that I MEAN IT when I say, "I'm done with men, and I'm never dating again, and that means you, too."  No, don't worry, he's completely harmless, and he doesn't do anything inappropriate.  The most I have to do is keep him from trying to hold my hand or touch my knee. 

Seriously guys. I AM NOT playing hard to get.  I'm SICK and I'm TIRED and I'm HURT beyond description and I AM DONE!

A little respect for that is not so much to ask, is it?  It's not like I just had *one* bad relationship.  It's that I'm batting 1000.  100% of all guys I've ever ended up with have ended up being more pain and suffering and freakishly bad treatment than all the good days added together; and I'm not talking 55/45 split here.  I'm talking like 65/35 at BEST. (and that's 65% bad, 35% good).  PLUS, since I have PTSD, that means each time it's worse, it actually accumulates.  So even though the last b/f didn't physically hurt me, means he STILL did more damage and hurt me worse than anyone else. 

I'm sorry guys, I didn't mean to get into this rant.  I'll stop now.
