This is my world as I see it—you might see it my way, you might not.
Yeah, I haven’t written here in a long, long time. I have made many excuses to all my friends who have asked why I haven’t written. The truth is, I just haven’t felt like it. Physically and emotionally I am drained. Life is just too much right now. It has been for awhile, but recently I have kind of threw up my hands and walked away. I did get divorced November 18th. I don’t even come close to having the energy or strength to write about that day. Maybe someday I will, but not now.
My friends and family have kept me going during Thanksgiving and Christmas. And sometimes I know that no one knows what to say or do for me, and that’s OK. I’m not going off the deep end. Sometimes I just think I need to stay in my house for days at a time without leaving. Thank God for my cable TV.
I have high expectations for the new year. After this past year, I really believe there is nothing I can’t handle. And it helps to know that I will always have the support and love of my family and friends.
I’m not making any New Year’s resolutions. Why set myself up to fail?
This past Saturday night me, Jaclyn, Shelly, Amanda, Chicky and Donnie P had a conversation about my blog. Jaclyn said I just need to tell stories about us-about me and my friends and what we do in our time together. She swears we are all interesting. She said I shouldn’t use everyone’s real names so I could protect the innocent….haha. Are any of us really that innocent?
I just have one little tidbit of information from Saturday night to share my opinion about. After the little trick that Donny P performed I have an entirely new respect for him (and his apparent talent).
Very soon I am going to get together with my circle of close friends and let them pick their aliases. Just because I choose to put myself out there doesn’t mean I should expose my friends too. It will be very interesting to see what they come up with.
Oh, and I did get a new Jeep about three weeks ago. And I’m very concerned because Jeep has changed their slogan from “Life is Good” to “I live. I ride. I am. Jeep.” I have the Jeep logo and old tag line tattooed on my left shoulder, am I going to have to get another tattoo? Don’t worry mom I’m only joking, I’m inked up enough. As much as I love Jeeps, I’m not going to get another tattoo.
“I'd like to have money. And I'd like to be a good writer. These two can come together, and I hope they will, but if that's too adorable, I'd rather have money.” -Dorothy Parker
"The good writing of any age has always been the product of someone's neurosis, and we'd have mighty dull literature if all the writers that came along were a bunch of happy chuckleheads."-William Styron

This is my attempt to share my world with you. Sometimes it's exciting—sometimes it's dull. I'll take you with me through my journey of life. Remember, this is my blog and I write whatever I am feeling at any given time. These are my opinions and nobody elses. Please leave me your comments, both good and bad. You can contact me at julie [at] gribco [dot] com anytime with ideas, comments or just to chat.
