DISQUS

Sherry Peyton · 11 months ago

Just wanted to stop by and thank you for the comment you left. It really helped me a lot. I get way to invested in visitors and all that, and start viewing all this blog visiting and commenting as work I have to do each day. Not a very sane method. You make me feel better about just trying to be me. I read the above post and was thoroughly taken when what you said. Haven't we all been there? I recall being terrified of going to the mailbox for months when a "friend" just stopped paying on a land contract and left me with 2 mortgages! I can certainly relate. Thanks for stopping by and thanks for blogging. I'll be adding you to my list for sure!

I remember too well those days of randomly partially paying bills. Funny thing, those days were a lot of fun.

I Know! I have great memories of the friends I made and the nice meals we had, cooking together on the cheap. It was a tough time, but a good time in my life.

I know Me-Me from Blog Catalog. Your story is bringing tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing something so personal, and so real. Well done!

Hello Scott - Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting. I'm happy that something I wrote touched you. I just spent some time on your blog which was a very calming and thoughtful experience. A great way to start my day in snowy Paris! Interesting take on the Pope's speech. I didn't even know he made one, and I was raised in the Mel Gibson brand of Catholicism. :-)

Congrats on the award.

I havent been to a mailbox since I moved into my parents house. It literally made me SICK to my stomach to see ALL the bills I could not pay.

Omyword! · 11 months ago

Ah. So you see. We're all the same. Human.

meleah rebeccah · 11 months ago

Bills? You mean I'm not supposed to re-cycle them un opened? Wow what a concept. I'm a big fan of Me Me as well and now you. Loved the box story. I'll try and swing by in a Pink Jeep often. enjoy pjc
more work on site beyond blog.

Omyword! · 11 months ago

Ahhh. Unopened and recycled. Niiice.


Once I launched a men's skin care line at the Enchantment resort in Sedona. We took 30 New York beauty editors on a Pink Jeep tour to the Vortex. (or one of them) It was great, actually. The guide was very cool, and I felt the skin on the back of my neck and the top of my head "tingle" with electricity as we neared the vortex.

But then again, I'm an impressionable girl. :-) I'll go check out more of your photos. Nice to know you, my friend.

How are the job opportunities in France?

You know, I saw that and thought it was ol' Diesel and The Mattress Police. But it looks like a different gang? I shall join up. But I am a funny girl, but not funny CONSISTENTLY. Sometimes I'm dull and philosophical, and maybe even whiney. Whistful, even. (shudder)

Great philosphy to kick off the new year - I'm a fan of Lisa wines too! And definitely being kinder to myself this year too :)
Much admiration for your friend - sharing problems just helps SO much, oftern much more than we can know or predict :)
Take it easy out there!
