El Fin.......

Spanish for "The End" I think........well today was it. The day that I moved out all of my things I had at ex-PK's; and I have to tell you that I feel so much better that everything is out and is over, and with me. So I am officially back in at Casa Det. My parents came up and the Det's came over and we knocked it out in about 3 hours-that's a record BTW.......

I have to say I will not miss the cabin, I don't think I ever really enjoyed being there to begin with. I will also note that it had been "re-furnished" with some new duds, and rearranged. Too bad all of the begging I ever did never got me where it is today; all that being said I am out and very happy about that fact. The only thing on my mind is Hobo, I did get to see him and give him some snuggle love today-I will get him just as soon as I can.......

Here is to a short week this week-and all of the Thanksgiving fixin's........

TMMO

For those of you who don't know what TMMO means, let me be the first to introduce you to Dave Ramsey. TMMO would mean "Total Money Make Over", and that is exactly what the PQ has been up to in the last 2 weeks. I am reading the book, following the plan and drinking the kool-aide :)

With "gazelle" like intensity (get the book), I am attacking debt and creating a snowball effect. I have even gone as far as listing my favorite Chanel (yes the real deal) sunglasses on Craig's List, contacted Honda about a car downgrade and asked my mom to bring the old wedding dress to OKC for consignment. I am on a mission people and it is called "The Potato Queen's Palace".

This will be the the first time I will have ever been financially independent and debt free (well this is coming soone). I am a mere shadow of my former self; the one draped in items I couldn't afford to keep up with the Jones's and who are the Jones's anyway.......no friend's of mine.

That is the latest here in PQ land.......Sam is doing well and we are all adjusting to being back in Casa Det. Thanksgiving is just around the corner and you know mama intends on burying her sorrows/stress in some mashed potatoes!

New light.......

So I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, it has been a week and of course I already have an action plan set into place. Let's just say that enough can't be said for great friends, family and much needed support and reassurance.

I am on track now to truly start over and I couldn't be happier or in a better mental place; I am sure of my decision and it is even more confirmed each and every day.

Life is definitely a journey and there are definitely set backs, some self inflicted and some come with experience.....whatever comes though I know I will always prevail!

Now where is the wine :)

The end of a reign........

Well there has been much happening lately in the PQ/PK world and I am sad to say that our "reign" has ended. I am moving out and we are going to say our good-byes and go our separate ways. It was decided that our paths are moving in different directions and we are both grown up enough to admit that we don't want the other to be miserable or suffer over our differences.

Andrew is a wonderful person and I will, and am, mourning this loss and the end of a friendship as well. I know in time wounds will heal and hurt will subside.....

I am looking forward and going to focus on me and getting right in my life, really getting things straight and that starts today.........

PS In light of certain circumstances I have been given a pass on calling my dad and actually opening up that entire bag of worms......but never the less it is still important and something I am planning on doing before/during the holidays.
