I had an eve of writing inspiration the other day, but i did not take advantage of it. Ah well, i will attempt until i can get a decent entry. I had a thought though, one i will share.

I turned 36 almost a week ago. It kind of feels strange, taking a more alternative route in life. I think most people who are 36 are married (or divorced by now) have children, etc etc with the "american dream" you may have heard about.  Maybe its because i have not taken this route or maybe it is because i have grown into it, but i feel….. beautiful. More beautiful than i have before.

Thats what i was thinking in a nutshell. If i could remember how to post a picture, i would share with you the birthday picture that inspired me.

What has been happening lately? My school district might go bankrupt. More on that when i am more well informed. My boyfriend moved in with me. Unexpected-like. At first things were not so good, but we started going to counseling and its made a world of difference. I am thinking of taking out a personal loan to buy a ticket to Europe. I know that sounds strange, but i am about to pay off my credit union loan and i like to keep something with them that shows i am making regular payments for good credit purposes. Who knows if it really is helpful. Really, i thought i would get a good hefty tax return from taking care of my nephew, but it turns out his foster family had him longer than i, so no deal for me. I was going to use it to pay off a good heft on my credit card, then buy a ticket to Estonia and Latvia for this summer. Ah well,  we will see.

As a consolation, i bought a ticket to Sioux Falls SD to see family 😉

Well, loves. Thats it for the evening. I will check in again, sooner than later
