I like seeing how people live and it's really about quality of life, not about the money. It's interesting you find Xmas a dark hole, when you are generally an optimistic person, as you've discussed before. I find that too, and perhaps it's the fact that it's an external pressure, fully pumped from the retail sector, so it is so artificial, and just pulls people down and feels depressing as it is so unnatural. I like how you write about loving boots- you seem a real tomboy. When you wrote about your old boyfriend and how you think marriage might not suit you, I noticed you said he's really good at housework (clean home)and is a great cook. Perhaps those kinds of guys suit tomboy boot loving women- maybe he would have loved doing that role and you would have balanced each other. Just an idea. I can't fix toilets like you, but I noticed the Diane Arbus character Nicole Kidman played in the film about Diane Arbus, she did plumbing like that. I have never learnt. <br />Anyway- enjoy your tomboyish independent life. Great to see a lady truckie who loves boots and still comes across as lovely and gentle! I have never seen a lady do a clothing post on "my boots"!! Very sweet and cool.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-10771100760396989822011-12-17T09:35:09.279+00:002011-12-17T09:35:09.279+00:00Thank you Anonymous.
