A bubble gum moment

Welcome to my new blog. The title, stilettos and bubblegum came to me for a couple reasons. If you are reading this blog, you know that I'm getting the big D. Divorce. I take it seriously personally, but in public I make jokes and try to pass it off pretty lightly. I'm not sure if that's what is healthy or right, but it's just what gets me through the days. The big D is actually the best thing for me and I know that from the bottom of my heart....

More about that later. Stilettos and bubblegum. two of my favorite things! Also what they represent-stilettos are sophisticated, saucy, have the ability to make me feel like my life is worth living (slight exaggeration),and represent the journey that I'm about to embark on-once again, but that's neither here nor there. 

The bubblegum represents the child in me, blowing bubbles like there's no tomorrow while playing at the park or swimming at the local pool. 

I feel like stilettos and bubblegum are a good portrayal of who I am at the moment and how I feel from day to day... one day having to be grown up dealing with all of this heavy mush, the next sleeping in the guest room at my parents house, knowing that I'm still the kid, still taken care of and loved no matter what!

Welcome to stilettos and bubblegum.

  13. Hey Andrea I am sorry to hear about your little snag in life. No one understands that better than me. Getting a divorce is the hardest thing to go through. But in the end you will be glad you had that experience. It makes you a better person and from now on you will see EVERY red flag there is with a man. Good luck Andrea. Keep your chin up and enjoy your new life. You will be SOOOOOO glad you made the decision you did.
