What's this all about?

So this is my first blog entry. I've never even remotely done this before, so by chance if you are reading this, please bear with me. Not that I expect anyone to read it! So what about me? I'm 29 years old, recently divorced, living in Memphis. I work as a Medical Technologist in Hematology at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. My mom lives around the corner and we are attached at the hip. I love makeup and skin care of all kinds. My favorite store is Sephora, with Target a close second. One day I will own a LV handbag. And it will be gorgeous!

I think when I turned 29 I kind of had a wakeup call. My husband was an alcoholic who didn't think he was and did not do anything around the house, unless you count sitting in front of the tv all evening drinking "doing something". I realized I was sick of being unhappy and wondering what racial slur he would blurt out THIS time when we were out with friends. So I kicked him out. I haven't seen him since, which is really kinda nice. The divorce was final about a month ago, so I'm a free woman again!

I also realized a lot of things about myself: I love to read, anything basically. I like to study, so I've applied for grad school for the fall. I'm realizing that we need to work on the environment, so I'm trying to do my part. I'm trying to consume less, and not just because I'm paying the same bills on only my salary now. I love lipgloss, but do I really need 25-30 tubes of it? NO. So I guess this blog is going to be about my struggles to live a better life and be a better person. I'll let ya'll in on what and how I'm doing. Please feel free to post *nice* things if you want!
