Choosing Figs | Neurotic as Hell | A Travel, Lifestyle, and Life List Blog

bitter

1. Wednesday I made MK come pick me up to go out for coffee so I could wallow about my car. It was really NICE of him to do so, so I was NICE in return and bought him his coffee even though I always go to see him and he never comes by me. Did my attempt at being NICE to him on here work?

2. I went Christmas shopping this weekend and am almost done.

3. While Christmas shopping I ended up buying way too much for myself. I bought a new coat because a) I am having a bad week because of my car (did I mention I had to go with my dad everywhere because I don’t have a car right now???) and b) I wanted something warmer than what I have. I bought one of those down puffyish coats that goes down to the knees and has fur around the collar. It wasn’t until I got it home that I realized that the fur is real raccoon.

4. I haven’t done much else because I do not have a car. 🙁 It really pisses me off because it was in no way my fault and the drunk driver who hit my car has been driving around all week and I am forced to sit at home doing nothing. The insurance company is looking at the car tomorrow.


5. Question of the day: Do you think the thuggish black back-up dancers for Weird Al hate their lives?

Hi, I'm Val. I spent most of my 20s in a standstill, unable to pick which path in life I wanted to take. I wanted the nomadic life of a traveler but also wanted the husband, the condo, and the kitten. Unable to decide which life I wanted more, I did nothing. When I turned 30 I’d had enough of putting my life on hold and decided to start “choosing my figs.” So, I quit my job, bought a one-way ticket to Europe, and traveled for three years. Now I'm back in Chicago, decorating my apartment in all the teal, petting my cats, and planning my next adventure.

    Those backup dancers got PAID for their work…which means they cried all the way to the bank. I think they’re just fine.
    MattyK sounds like a NICE fella. Good thing you treat him so NICELY.
