7th Anniversary

7 years ago from today I made my first post.  Wow, that is just crazy.  I know I struggled with posting recently but here I sit 7 years to the day creating another post.  No pearls of wisdom on this 7th anniversary.  Its all good.  And to explain the picture I put in copper to eBay as copper is the traditional gift 7th anniversary gift - I swear it is.  Well as I scrolled through I came across this antique Egyptian plate.  I cannot not get enough of Egypt lately so really was excited to see it.  I love the Egyptian motif.  Thanks to the discovery of Tutankhamen tomb in the early 20th century there was a huge Egyptian revival period in the 1920's - especially in jewelry and home decor.  I hunt around eBay to look at the different items because it is fun.  I don't need to own it as just looking is good for me.  Although this plate is awesome and to own it would be cool.  It is only $165 in case you are in the market for a 7th anniversary payment.  Hahahaha teasing. I own it now as is it is since I added it to my blog.

Wow busy weekend.  Friday was the 13th, yesterday was PI or Pie Day (03.14.15) and today is the Ides of March.  I however had a very low key weekend which is good because it was a difficult start to the week.  I had to go to San Diego to take care of something.  This is not the right forum for details but it was just some financial stuff.  It is all set now but it was difficult for me.  I am usually pretty fine flying solo but for this one I needed to muster up a bunch of power.  In the end I got it done and feel good but I dunno, it does wander round and round my head.  Well I am doing better than Caesar on this day so we will day it's a win.

Friday the 13th

Staying on the luck theme today was the second Friday the 13th of 2015.  Was a good day for me.  Nothing bad, nothing awesome but plenty just all right and that is good with me.

7 Years of Bad Luck

.

Judy and I we talking and she asked me some questions about my ex.  They were just questions out of curiosity but I really did not know the answers.  Water longtime past under the bridge.  Also his way to deal with things is to figuratively kill people off.  I saw him do it to many people including his very own father so it made sense when he did the same to me his substitute father figure - although it is still hurtful.  Curiosity gets to us all at times so with a little cyber stalking on both our parts turns out he got married and is doing fine.  Everything matched with what I ever knew, nothing is different.  All the pictures were with drinks (the only way he could ever relax) and all the discussion was around travel (the only thing that made him happy - yet another avenue of escape his reality).  One post that made me chuckle was excitement over a trip to Mexico as I can be standing in Mexico with just a 30 minute ride lol.  Marriage does not surprise me.  It became legal when I lived in MA and he talked about it then and I was like ummmm no.  The part that really got me is that he changed his name.  It struck me most because I would NEVER change my name.  I may not have the most prestigious name but it is mine and my parents gave it to me and I would NEVER give it up. Because of my own point of view I found it shocking he gave up his but it makes sense.  He HATES his father and he was a junior so his own name literally reminded him daily of all that he despises.  He also is embarrassed of his overall family and where he is from.  I am not.  I love my family.  They are crazy and far from perfect but I did well in that department.  I love them.  Judy and I had laughs and it was all silly as we learned nothing ever really changes.  Judy asked if any of it bothered me and I answered honestly that it did not.  I do not wish him harm, I do not wish him fortune, he is just another person in the world.  With that being said I did tell her that I am good with not knowing anything else more for another 7 years.
