Write about a time you got dirty.

Write about a time you got dirty. 

     Growing up, I was that girl who never liked to get dirty. I never would swim in a lake or pond, did not ever play in the dirt, would never go camping, and took showers almost twice a day. I was the girlie girl and took advantage of it. 

    Now... that is a different story. I go for swims in lakes, ponds, etc. I play in the dirt and mud puddles (especially in my Jeep), I go camping, but I still shower at least once a day. The last major time I got really dirty was when I was working on my Jeep. It has a complete off-frame restoration and was done in three months. Although I could have taken more time to complete it, Man... when you get a jeep that you have been dreaming of... It is so worth the rush of getting things done. This was during the summer time when it was almost 100* out and even hotter with the humidity. On top of sweating like crazy, I had oil, grease, dirt, etc., all over me. This took place several times a week for the duration until it was done. 

    I have never been the one to work on cars or do any of that kind of stuff. For me, this was a personal matter. I had always wanted to have a Jeep like my mom's. When she died, I was unable to get it, due to not knowing how to drive a Jeep. Plus, having little one, I did not want to mess with the whole car seat ordeal. Doing this for me meant a lot more. Especially, considering I was putting it together the way I wanted to. I will tell you, it looks amazing, and I am so happy with it.

 5 - Minute Prompt:     People handle breakups in all kinds of ways, from endless ranting and raving, to lying around depressed. What about you - how did you cope after a breakup? Write your yourself a letter offering thoughts and advice on how to deal with the post-breakup blues. Dear Younger Me:     I am sorry to have to write this letter to you. No one should have to go through the amount of painful breakups that you have. Your personality does not handle these very well. The childhood that you had did nothing for your ability to handle people leaving you. Your first and major breakup will come later in your life. This is the one that got away.       Just remember that your education leads you to where you are now. Drowning yourself in your work/education/studying has always been your escape. It is going to take you a long time to get through this one. My advise to you is to make sure that you learn change, versus trying to change someone ...

Random Notes

 How do you tell a man you are in love with him?  I went to bed that night. I was so depressed. I decided I had had enough. I went to get my sleeping vitamins. Tonight I realized the biggest thing ever in my life. That I was so in love with him. That I did not care anymore about anything. I knew, I just knew it was I was in love with him.  I went to bed angry. Angry he did not call, angry that no matter how hard I tried, he would always have the last word over me. The worst part is, that no matter what I still wanted to get up, put a smile on my face, and tell him. I tried to tell him about my dream. It makes me laugh even now as I write this. He will probably want to still argue with me. But I did not care. I am going to write this anyway.   _____________________________________________________________________________________ I feel so alone There is no one to talk to I have so much to say No one will listen I feel so alone It is loud in my head I crave attenti...

 1 - Minute Prompt:          * Look at the back of your hands. Notice the lines and wrinkles, the bony parts, and the fleshy parts perhaps even hardened calluses or missing fingers. Write a couple of detailed sentences that describe what you see.  My left hand is dry and wrinkled. I have only one real fingernail on my thumb. I have battle scars from 41 years of being me.  I have recently noticed a faded bruise on the top of my hand. I often see my hand feel swollen. Currently, my hand is tanner than the usual white. All of my fingers are in place and depending on how I hold my hand I notice my fingers look webbed together at the base of my fingers.  _____________________________________________________________________________________ I am a bit behind on my posts. I am very sorry. My weekend started early last weekend and was busy from start to finish. It is not a bad way to spend the weekend, but it went too fast. For those of you who do not...
