letter to the universe

i get so bitter, being bitter, being bitter...
i have been so sad for so many years.
i am giving the sadness and sorrow and regret up for now.
i am giving in to the universe, the great abyss and nothingness.

i am hoping that my leap of fate will leave me with a bountiful load
testing the universe, without the test.
i am letting go, letting go
letting go of the bitterness, of the past.

living in this present state of right now
mindfulness and passion combined.
so please catch me...
everything around me, please catch me.

The other day Eric told me I was a true Mainer at heart. I definitely took this as a compliment, while I am not entirely sure it was intended that way.

I like yard sales and getting crazy good deals either off craig's list, freecycle, Marden's, thrift stores, or YARD SALES...

'Tis the season of the beginning of yard sales every weekend.


What can I say, I love me a good bargain!

Today I went down to NH to go to my sister's boyfriend's yard sale and got so much good stuff (thanks Jenn, Anthony, and Ann). I got an awesome picture which is now hanging over my "home office" area. I also got an office kit for both Eric to work on his new business and for myself and my entrepreneur-self. I got some kitchen gear, toys for Sadie, spray paint, cleaning supplies, and some clothes/ shoes for Eric. I have to say I made out really well (I absolutely hate when people use the phrase "made out," in the context I just did, but I had to and that is my MASSHOLE side showing through).

It seems that I may be a Mainer in some of my characteristics, but in others I am not (yet!).
