What is it with kid brothers, no matter what I seem to make for dinner he always smothers it in tomato ketchup, what's that about!? You can't even taste the food!
I thought i'd update because its been maybe a day or so and I wanna stay in the habit. Recently i've been pottering around Public Thoughts, not really doing much, wondering how I'd feel about making it Public again. You see, i'm torn. It does contain so much of me, but I feel like i need to move on from who I was there. I made so many mistakes there and right now i'm all about fresh starts. history vs fresh start. Then of course there's the fact that i had readers I didn't know about and who I couldn't alert to my change of venue. That's a plus and a minus. Whilst i'd welcome many of my other readers back with open arms, there are people who know about Public Thoughts who I don't want reading my personal thoughts. And for now, they don't know about Sherms In The Middle.
Adam doesn't know about this journal yet. He's not very active on AOL at the moment, no time I suppose. And i'm not keeping it secret from him or anything, I'm just not ready for real life readers just yet. I don't know, I don't suppose i'm making much sense so i'll move on some.
Good news, my boss said it was fine for my friend and I to switch shifts! YAY!!! So in actual fact, there's nothing stopping me from seeing Adam. Except of course, getting all the money together! lol! It'd be good to see him again because i'm awful lonely and its been about 5 months! Can you imagine, 5 months without the one you love? 5 months of not showing the one you love how much you love them, yes we all know what I'm talking about. But 5 months is a long time by most people's standards.
I went to the travel agents to look at flights today and i looked online. Guess what, the cheapest flight involves flying with Delta through Atlanta. Yes, they are the airline that lost my luggage. Yes, that is the same airport. yes they did take 6 months to issue me a partial refund. think I should risk flying with them to save about $100?
One of my biggest temptations at the moment besides cookies and chips...clothes! Oh boy, I spent about an hour last night on asos.com looking at all the clothes. Oh my gosh! SO many things I wanted to buy, but I couldn't. Gotta save, not spend. I haven't replaced my wardrobe since the airline mishap and I need to. I tried on some jeans today which I loved, skinny black denim and my usual size...UK 14...fit me just fine. Wanted them, but they were £36.99 and I just can't afford it. But I love the buzz of spending, honestly, if i'd of had the cash i'd of bought them and returned them the next day. without wearing them of course. recently i've been buying clothes only to return them once the spending drug has worn off. but buying them on my card means i have to wait a few days for the refund to go back. I don't know what's wrong with me, most normal people buy things and keep them whether they feel guilty or not. but i just can't afford it. so i get the thrill from buying new things and then i return them. weird, i know.
Ok, time for me to go. I've got Adam on the phone and he's not a happy bunny right now. He's waging a one man war against Bank of America.
Love you all!!!

Shermeen, My brother does the exact thing with ketchup, lol !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love buying clothes too, Hugs to you Lisa :)
I think that's a brilliant idea, buying clothes, then taking them back so you get the pleasure of buying! I also admire your willpower taking them back! Don't know what to say about your other journal....hmmm that is a difficult one.....as for 5 months! omg! you poor kids! lol I think you will have to become an ebay entrepreneur and get that fare together! good luck! Linda xx
I know what you mean about real life readers, that's why I went private. Kinda didnt want people that knew me in the real world reading...is that odd?? I guess not if you felt that way too!

Bank of America is my husband's bank. They are much better than my bank though! I hate banks, they just want to take your money and could care less about anything else. For instance, if you are short $1.00 when a check comes in, they bounce it and then charge you $33.00 when they KNOW a paycheck will be put in the next day. Drives me nuts!
About shopping, I know that "high" you get. Even though we don't have money now, I used to LOVE to shop! I would even shop on my lunch hour instead of eating when I worked full time. I used to return things, but now I just don't buy it to return it. I have developed too much guilt to even buy now. But, that comes after having children I guess. You feel as if you are taking food out of their mouths. Oh, and by the way, my kids don't eat anything without ketchup! It's the only veggie they get though. LOL!
Hmmmm, being without my hubby for 5 months huh? Sounds like HEAVEN! Okay, only kidding, maybe 2 days without him would be nice, but not 5 months. I hope you are able to find a cheap flight to FL. I would pay the extra $100 so I wouldn't be worrying about them losing my luggage. The replacement cost alone is worth paying the extra money I think.
Hope you have a great day today!
Hugs and lots of love,
Lisa
I can't imagine being without Kevin for 5 months. When he has a business trip and he's gone maybe 1 or 2 nights, I go bonkers.

Oh man , I love shopping but I have to stay wayyyy away from the stores cause the stuff I like is too expensive. When we go to the mall....my kids hide my face from the store I like...I'm a freak too. And I wouldn't return it either. lmao. Good luck getting a good flight to Florida. Hope you get to go! Love ya, Shelly
