This will be my very last post. I have decided that it's time to take a break from blogging. There are a few options for continuing this blog but I don't like any of them. I know that everything happens for a reason and maybe I need to use my time to focus on other things in my life right now....
I'm not saying that I will never blog again because I have absolutely loved the time I have spent creating this blog. This will be my 248th post!! It doesn't seem like I have had that much to say but I guess I have!
My very first post titled, "Just The Beginning", was written on Wednesday, June 15, 2011. Here we are at "This Is Goodbye" and it's Friday, December 14th, 2012. Wow, it's shocking how fast time really flies.
When I started this blog, I never thought it would last this long. I wasn't sure what I was going to write about or who was going to read what I came up with. I guess I came up with something interesting
I really couldn't have made all this possible without my friends and family to support me, help me think of some great ideas, remind me to take photos when we go places
Thank you to all the people who have spent their time reading my blog and to everyone who has contributed.
I would like to send a special shout out to a few awesome people because without their help, none of this would have meant much:
Supa Darling -
Thank you for being an amazing husband and supporter. I'm glad you're seeing the good Dr. Jason so that you can be the best father and husband that I know you want to be for us. Congratulations on being a super hero at Pub-Dizzle. When you get this next promotion (very soon and rightfully earned) we should have a big "Supa" party :) I love you more than words can express and I look forward to being married to you and spending the rest of our lives together.
Dazzle and Neon Darling -
You two mean the world to me. My greatest accomplishment to date is being able to raise you. You are both going to be wonderful, special adults and the world is lucky to have you. Thank you for putting up with your Daddy and I. I know that sometimes grownups are annoying and hard to understand but we have always done the best we knew how. Thank you for understanding that you were too young to read your Mama's blog. I hope that when you are older and I can allow you to read it, you'll think it's fucking awesome. ;)
Uncle Darling -
We have the most strange relationship. I think it's probably because we are both major weird-os, cut from the same cloth. I am so proud that you are my Uncle. I will never forget how you helped take care of me when I was a little kid (you were my best friend!) even if you did scare the shit out of me often, that's what Uncle's do, right? I am happy to report that I can watch Gremlins now without freaking out and having nightmares afterwards ;) I really appreciate all the help you give me with my couponing. I wouldn't be able to hoard food and turn my closet into a storage unit without you. I hope you like your Christmas present that I made for you. I had so much fun making it. Even if you have a hell of a time expressing it, I know you love me and guess what? I LOVE YOU, TOO! xxoo & dings too!!
Aunt Darling -
I have only met one person on this planet that is a better human being than you. Grampa!! You are following in your Dad's footsteps and I know you are making both of your parents so proud!! I have no idea how I would have turned out without you and I am so fortunate to have you in my life. You are THE BEST aunt (substitute mommy, sister, daughter, great aunt and aunt in law) anyone could ever ask for. I don't know what I would do without you and I love you, so much!!! Here's to spending much more time together one day and continuing to help me be the best person I can be.
Jade Mask -
I have never met anyone who has stuck by my side like you have. We have been friends for almost 15 years and when you're friends with someone like me, that's a lot of years of crazy shit. You know what to say to calm me down, keep me from getting myself arrested, and you steer me clear of embarrassing myself in public (which I know has been hard since I wasn't born with a filter). You have prevented me from killing people (Supa is only still alive because of you at this point), helped me figure out how to raise my children without killing everyone around me and saved me from being murdered myself a time or two. I'm not even sure that I could put up with me if I were you but somehow you have managed. I love you more than words can express and I only want you to live a full and amazing life. I hope that we remain friends until we die. Because of you, I did get to have a sister in this life, even if we were squeezed out of different vaginas. :) I love you, bitch!!!
Lolly Gal -
You have really become one of my very best friends. I am so glad that we met on the teller line that day....You are really weird, but then again, so am I! I'm sure that sometimes my craziness is probably frustrating and I promise as I get older, to try to continue to tame the insanity. :) I hope that I am a good best friend to you....I want you to remember to slap me around when I need it and keep me grounded. I'm so very lucky to have you in my life and I'm really looking forward to us being friends forever. Guess what else?? I love you so much!! Heehee!! (PS, lunch today was so yummy!!!)
**And while we are talking about Lolly:
Camo Man -
Our family has really had a great time getting to know you. We all think you're pretty awesome. We wish you lived closer so you and Supa could hang out more. I just want to let you know that Lolly is so special to us and her happiness is very important. If you don't watch yourself, Neon is going to grow up and steal her away from you. Behave, buddy! LOL. I can't wait to sit in the audience at your wedding and cry when I see how cute you guys look together. I know you fit right in with our little group and you will be a great husband and father one day. Keep up the good work and you'll be just fine! Don't let us down. I do believe that Supa has shared his gun collection with you...... ;)
Red Lightyear -
I heard your name before but didn't know anything about you or even what you looked like until I came to work in the call center. It's so funny how life works that way....At first, you were too shy to really talk to me. Then when our boss appointed you to help me, well, you didn't have a choice. Haha!! Soon, you became my work best friend! We have cried together, laughed together, talked a whole bunch of shit together and supported each other in this place we call "work"
J. Strawberry -
Ah...My sweet J. You are always going to be one of those people that I love to hate. I know you are a good person on the inside. You're also a cranky, know-it-all, hard headed bitch on the outside. Yet, I know you would do anything for me and come to my rescue really quickly if I needed you to. I love that you live down the street from me and that you married someone fucking awesome. I always tell people that I love me some M. Strawberry and his tiny yet random t-shirts. ;) I think one of the main reasons that we don't get along very well is because we're very alike. I'm totally comfortable with holding you at arms length so we don't murder each other. I know when to call you for help and that you'll be there to answer my stupid computer questions. I want you to know that I'm there for you too. I'm not as unapproachable as I sometimes seem. Oh, and I love you, yes, I do. Mwah!!
Super Bass and Patient Woman -
You guys are the two most awesome lesbians that I have ever met, to date. God really knew what he was doing when he introduced us. Ya'll are the most giving, thoughtful, friendly, accepting and awesome friends I have ever had. I don't think I have ever fallen in friend love with anyone faster than I have with you either. My family loves you and we always look forward to spending time with you. Keep in mind that we don't have to do anything fancy! Just spending time together is so precious. Time goes by so fast.... Super, there are days that I just want to drown myself in the toilet at work but you make the day bearable. I can always come see you when I need a hug or a reassuring chat. Thank you for that! I love you guys and I know we are going to be friends for a long, long time. xxoo
Nearly Perfect -
This bitch here doesn't even read my blog! I don't think she ever has. I always tease her and tell her that my REAL friends read my blog so she must not be a real friend. Let me tell you, she is one of the most honest and loving friends that I have. I like that Nearly is "take me as I am or don't take me". She is the only child (me too), stubborn as hell (me too), spoiled fucking rotten (ME TOO!) and incredibly, blunt and honest (holy, shit, me too!!). I can't figure out how we haven't killed each other
Kitti Marmalade & Ace Serene -
I was really hurt and hateful about our "breakup" when everything went down. I was so upset that I decided that I didn't need any damn "friends" for the rest of my life and I would just become completely anti-social. I'm not going to lie, it still burns sometimes when I think about it too much. BUT, I do want to say that you two scandalous whores did teach me something. There are bad people in the world who are stupid and like to take advantage of people, their friends and their family. I now understand this and I know that I have to keep a look out for life suckers like yourselves in the future. Let's just say that the interview process for being friends with me has just reached a whole new level. I have to be even more choosy with who I allow into my life. I would hate to let in a couple of hateful losers again. To think, you snuck right under my nose (and Jade's, Lolly's, Nearly's, Supa's....even Aunt Darling was fooled) with your childish, immature, self-serving bullshit. I still hope you are very happy together. You deserve each other.
Jade says sometimes that she's kind of waiting for one of you to contact me to rekindle our friendship. LOL, go right ahead. I can't wait so that I can tell you to FUCK OFF!
That's all for now, folks. (One of my favorite reoccurring lines here) I'm happy that I got to spread around some love in my last post. I'm not saying I will never blog here again. I might give a monthly update or something just to let everyone know how we're doing. I'm afraid that with no pictures, most of you will fall asleep reading. We'll see.....
Love, Peace and Chicken Grease,
Apple Darling
