(10,777 posts)I'm gonna set my sights on 2014.
Right now, I'm too much of a mess. I assume every woman thinks I am a horrible troll. On the rare occasion one of them peeps her head under my bridge to say hello anyway, I shriek and cover my head lest she get any cooties on me. Thus is my life right now.

I have the same problem, kept to myself for a good 6-7 years, then get involved with someone who's totally toxic to me and I am ready to go through the long hangover again. What I miss was only what I wish and what never really was anyway and could never be. Wish like liked shallow relationships better than solitude...
But I can have all the coffee & chocolate that I want, neither of those have ever broken my heart OR given me a hangover....well, except those poisonous cherry cordials, stay away from them!

(12,251 posts)Here are a few pictures showing some scenes in my big fairy castle diorama.



I used real dirt for the ground cover. I baked it in the oven to sterilize it, and wow, did it stink up the house! I had to air it out afterwards and also clean the oven. I'm now making a crooked house diorama featuring Little Red Riding Hood and the wolf. I'll bake old coffee grounds and mix in some brown chalk powder for the dirt in that one.
My daughter gave me the castle for my birthday. A friend of hers made it.

(12,251 posts)hobby for me. I've always loved dioramas, but until a few years ago it didn't occur to me to try to make one. It's messy, but I can't seem to stop. haha.

(24,146 posts)i have an extensive flower fairy collection but haven't had room to put it out for a few years. the boxes have gone through three moves and i can't remember when i last checked them. i sure hope they're ok.
but i digress. that is absolutely incredible.

(12,251 posts)fairies, but I have only a few of them so far.
Maybe you should think about finding yours and making a diorama. It's a lot of fun!

(34,914 posts)There are a couple of web pages that have helped me get groceries for nothing, or next to it. They deal with the stores here in my region, and they have cut my grocery bills substantially. It's so fun to watch the total on the register keep dropping...

(10,420 posts)Comfort yourself in knowing that there are far worse things you can be addicted to. I quit smoking 7 months ago and that was very difficult. Splurging on Diet Coke is harmless in comparison.
