Velour Jumpsuit

So, I thought yesterday was bad when I managed to sleep through the hammering of sub-flooring being placed down at my new "home" but today is much worse. Why, you must ask?? I find myself crying at the mountains of thoughts in my head and to make matters worse, I decided that a blue velour jumpsuit was somehow going to make me feel like I wasn't bloated and fat???? What was I thinking?

I don't want to do anything but go to sleep today and forget that the world and all its crap exists. Granted, my choices have ultimately created the mess I am in...but knowing that doesn't help matters much. Fall is my favorite time of year and I can't enjoy it. This is when I get Crazy about Christmas(I still believe in Santa Clause)! I usually spend my time baking and filling my home with the scents of cinnamon, pumpkin spice, and apples. The Christmas music is usually blasting as I live out my life long dream of being Judy Garland in the movie "Meet me in St. Louis" singing Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. But, I can't find that person and it makes me sad.

So here I sit in my pathetic excuse of an outfit wishing I had an entire Raspberry cheesecake to gorge myself on. A separation, Losing my job, and starting my period all in days of each other has got to be Satan in disguise. I don't think things could get worse, but I hear you are never supposed to say that because they probably will.

The Anna has Landed!!

Calling all Ya-Ya's... Grab a smoke, a mug of coffee or alternative beverage of choice, grab a bag of jalapeno cheetos and enjoy the ride!

Although some of us may be technologically challenged, I believe that making an entrance is always more interesting than being the first one to arrive to the party. As my endearing sisters of stated, I am in the Misadventure of my life at the moment. Things are so topsy-turvey that half the time I don't know what day it is, I spend more time in my car, I'm lucky if my socks match, and of course i can't remember the last time I ate anything other than a cigarette. I find myself in silent solitary reflection of how I ended up in such a "Dill"pickle of a situation. Don't get me wrong though, there have been some humorous adventures alongside my Misadventure. I could not have gotten through the past 3 weeks without the divine support of my sisters. They are the greatest people I know! Ya-Ya!

Anna, Anna, Wherefore Art Thou, Anna?

So...I figured that by now, some of you who are following this blog may be wondering why Anna hasn't made an appearance yet. (or maybe you're thinking that Leah and I are a tad bit looooooney and we just made her up, but rest assured that only half of that statement is true!)

Anyhoo...Anna is currently in the midst of the biggest adventure (wait, I'm not sure that's going to read right...try again)

Anna is currently in the midst of the biggest MISadventure (ok...a little bit closer, but I'm still not sure it's going to translate properly)

(ok, here goes....)

Anna is currently in the midst of the biggest MESS of her life...so she's a little preoccupied at the moment.
But that's the thing about life...it's messy sometimes. Did Anna create all of her own mess? Not at all. Rarely do any of us create ALL of the mess we find ourselves in. But pulling oneself out of the mess and attempting to clean up afterwards can be a bitch if the other messies refuse to acknowledge their role in things. Unfortunately, that's where our Anna finds herself right now.

So the rest of the Ya-Ya club has been on full alert for the past several weeks. I was able to spend two weeks with Anna and Leah when the first distress call came. Leah, in her typical way of magically making things happen, called me on a Thursday morning to tell me that Anna's world had just caved in, and had me booked on a flight Friday morning. That's just Leah.

And that's how the Ya-Yas work...all for one, and one for all.
