Fresh Start?

How cute is this little calendar that my mother-in-law-to-be gave me for Christmas? It makes me happy to be able to look at a pretty new shoe everyday. But to be honest shoes are not what’s on my mind right now. Strange I know! It’s been a while since I’ve posted a “R!ley Random” and I have had a few things on my brain lately that I wanted to blog out. I know that 2012 is only 20 days in but already it feels like the start to a bumpy year. Well maybe I shouldn’t be that dramatic but I have had a few crappy weeks. It’s funny that even though Cheap Diva is my little space to just be me, as I’m typing this I’m criticizing myself in my head for whining. Everyone is entitled to their days though right? I really don’t want to go into detail about some of the crud that has happened but my patience has definitely been tested. I remember writing a blog about turning 30 and being in such a settled and happy place. Its not that I’m not happy with life per say….its just that I feel like I’ve back tracked on some personal progress. Kind of like when you dust all of the skeletons out of your closet only to find another bag of bones hiding in the corner. Little bit of a bummer. I know its sounds like I’m writing in sanscript right now but maybe this is my roundabout way of getting some do-do off my chest without sounding too emo. All in all I’m hoping that I can keep my chin up and focus on the good stuff that 2012 has to offer. After all….its my WEDDING YEAR! I’m smiling even bigger already 🙂
