Okay so I know I promised a better second blog and all

SO I am learning the hard way lately that life sucks. My car is in the shop, my pizza delivery husband can't work without it, and it's like he's unemployed. This year has just bit though. First the fire, then my tubby hubby lost one job, then another, and now the car. And the little bits of bad in between like running out of groceries, having our phones shut off because we couldn't pay the bill, etc. etc. etc.

Through it all I am (trying) to rely on my friends a little more than usual. It used to be that I would turn down a free lunch, and now I will at least accept someone paying for me so long as they understand I cannot pay them back and they are still cool with it. I truly hate being indebted to people, even if they are my inner circle. But maybe that is the great cosmic lesson I am supposed to learn in this life. Maybe I am supposed to learn to rely on people, because it seems without them lately my life would be much worse.

On the flip side, I am blogging. This isn't something I am very good at, but among other things, I need to do something different. I don't know if anyone but my friends will read this, but hey, I have to try something different or I will never try anything at all...that and my friend offered to teach me to drive a stick (me who doesn't even like to drive my automatic) and (gulp) I said yes because I think I should know how to.

I think I may need to come up with a reason to blog, and not just say I am going to. Because I am looking over this and man it's boring. Suggestions anyone?

My first blog...

Since you have to have a first blog...here is my first blog.

I can't unfortunately start with the much better second blog...that would make the second blog my first and that isn't exactly true...so meh...
