the other half.
Grueling.
Otherwise, I actually left fairly early tonight 6:30pm. I walked around the store for a bit looking for a blouse suitable for court tomorrow. I haven’t found a blouse that I like yet at my discount store. Oh well. Guess the jumper will have to do tomorrow.
It’s been unusually bright, sunny and warm in my City by the Bay. 
Thanks everybody for all of your support and words of wisdom regarding this house buying project.
Meanwhile, Divorcee wanted to accompany me to a visit I had today out in Marin County so she could tell me about how she was falling in love with her indifferent man. She is so fucking insane. I felt bad for her especially after I saw her Mother’s house. Her Mother and Stepfather live in this incredible huge Victorian in Marin County. It’s actually a historical house complete with magnificent gardens and an amazing art studio (her mother is an artist). I was absolutely stunned by it! I felt like I was in some goddamn living art museum. Wow. I can’t imagine what it’s like to be so wealthy and to wake up in such splendor. I couldn’t help but again wonder how fate works out. The woman is also gorgeous, a regular Kim Novak looking woman who has never worked a day in her life and indulges in her creative whims. What does that feel like? To be able to indulge in your creative side to your fullest potential while living in luxury?
Now what’s worse, never having had that lifestyle or being the 40 year old daughter who grew up in luxury and now you’ve ended up in a studio apartment with a hot plate after 2 failed marriages but need to chase a 55 year old indifferent Marin’ite’ because you want to secure that lifestyle and you’re a crazy needy bitch?
Hmmm…. that’s a tough one.
Wow, that’s a horrible thought/fate your friend is living. My vote? I’d rather have had nothing to start with. I tried to comment on your latest post last night, but my clumsy fingers were causing me to leave or accidentally delete everything I tried to say. I’m still enjoying reading about your house hunting. May you find a GEM! I am sending this desire out to the universe….BTW, did you do that thing where you write your wish on a piece of paper and submit it to the universe by sleeping with it under your pillow? I know, probably a load of BS, but it can’t hurt (well actually, you could wake up with the ink of your heart’s desire written in reverse on your cheek
That would be the sort of thing that happens to me).
I’ve so missed everyone’s blogs. It’s great to catch up. I’m sad to see that the perfect house hasn’t come for you yet, but I know it’s there.
I do feel sad for Divorcee, for the way she’s so desperate, that she can’t find value in herself and just get out and live her life instead of chasing after ridiculous men and hoping they will solve her life for her.
Love RubyJean’s idea of putting your heart’s desire out there for the universe.
Divorcee needs to learn to love herself first and then worry about grabbing a man.
Some people don’t realize how blessed they are. I would be forever grateful if I could just stay home and be a full time Mom to my kids for the rest of my life. It’s a gift most of us will never know.
I think it would be best never to have it then to become accustomed to it and then lose it.
I love the way you describe things. i could almost see that mansion. You rock Annie!
