I want to get my own computer - I was thinking of a PC, a Dell inspirion is what I've been leaning towards. But I'm a sucker for those Mac commericals.....their marketing always sucks me in. :) This will be my first tech purchase on my own, so I'd love to hear your thoughts.

I’m leaving today to go out of town for a girl’s weekend on the coast. I’m so excited to have a weekend away, but I’m also a little down about it. I know it’s going to be a great weekend, but it’s also the same place that my ex and I took our first big trip together. It was my college graduation gift from him a weekend in Savannah. We went several other times together, but this will be my first time going without him. The distraction of being angry at him has masked the fact that I am so lonely without him. And I miss him. He hurt me so much. I can not even begin to explain to y'all how much he hurt me – hiding my wedding rings from me because I “didn’t deserve them” and needed to “earn them back,” dropping all of my clothes off at my parents in trash bags - ya’ll I could go on and on. But I still miss him so much. How messed up is that? Maybe I just miss having some one…...or that I’m suddenly single being forced into the single lifestyle when I was ready to settle down. But then on the flip side I want to settle down with someone but I’m terribly afraid of commitment now because what if someone does this to me again?

I would love some encouraging words – and I’m sorry to through a pity party for myself. I really am thrilled to be with my friends this weekend. I’m hoping to make it to the Paris Market on Broughton Street and pick myself up something nice. And since the cute lime green clutch he bought for me there 3 years ago has either been thrown out or given to his new fiancé.

I hope that you all are doing well and have a wonderful weekend. I’ll tell Paula ya’ll say hi!

Hi

Welcome to my new blog, it was tough closing Mrs LSL down, but a nice fresh start is what I’m needing! Things are a little dull on this page for now – but I’ll liven it up over time. Your comments always helped accomplish that on the old page, and I’m hoping to still get them over here. :)

I really want to try not to dwell on the past, but I’m sure it’s going to come up every once in a while. I guess there’s no better place to talk about the hard times– after all, ya’ll are my blogger cheerleaders!

I'm not too long back from my amazing trip to Scotland - family, friends, beautiful scenery and my favorite food group, fish and chips! I think I ate fish and chips at least 5 times in 10 days. A little much, but worth the extra 5 pounds I put on while I was there. I'm going to post some more pictures of my trip very soon, but here's just the one for now. :)
