We're Back in FL- Updated

[mysticrose29]

****
Yay! We made it. Back in FL finally! Man, that is a LONG drive, lol.
Anyways, we made it across safe & sound, and I'm currently staying with the boyfriend's parents in Melbourne, although I'll be going back & forth a bit to my home in Key West as well. Not sure where I'll end up for certain, and I've got a lot of things I need to sort out.

One of the first things I did, after being amazed at how many awesome things and stores there are here, is hit up the Family Dollar & Dollar General stores that were nonexistent in Cali! OMG, I hit the jackpot, too. I was sooo excited - I ended up spending $15, which was a great deal!, for 6 LPS.. I got a $5 two-pack as well as 5 $2 singles! I was soooo excited! I got almost everything except for about 2-4 more singles I either didn't want, or couldn't justify getting, lol! I was so excited - I really HAVE been missing out this past year! Lol!

At any rate, that's really all I had to share, but I'm happy to be back on the East coast, close to friends and family again! I probably won't be checking threads consistently again until I settle somewhere, probably early Fall, but I'm around & will probably check in every now and then at least.

Just wanted to say hi. Been missing ya'll & thinkin of ya!

Glad your back!

Hey everyone!!

I've missed you guys so much! Been dying to write, but there's been so much going on! I'm hoping to get back into the forums reguarly... I've been down in Key West w/ my parents the past few weeks, though, and they've been keeping me busy!

I recently showed my mom the LPS and sorta explained it to her. I think she thinks I'm a nutcase having a 2nd childhood, but I tried explaining customs to her, and she sorta thought that was cool, lol. I also have been finding LPS that I hadn't seen before .. and to my delight, realized the "new" wave I was anxiously expecting was on Kmart's shelves. I how have my funniest Piggie, so that makes me happy. I also finally broke down and got the 10 pack, since it was at Kmart & I hadn't ever found it before! SO yeah, I'm definitely still here & collecting, just haven't found time to get on the forums as much. I want to real soon again, though.

When my bf & I got down here to Key West, we had some pretty bad fights, which unfortunately resulted in a breakup. I took it very rough, and have been spending a lot of time just trying to recuperate. The good news is, I'm doing much better now, and have recently started talking to someone I share a lot in common, with (though just my luck - in Canada! lol). I've been really taking things little by little and trying to get my goals and priorities straight again. After moving out to CA and back with no other purpose than for someone I loved, I was devastated at the aftermath.

At any rate, that's just the brief bit of the insanity I've been going through. Ya'll have been in my thoughts a lot though! I kept telling myself I would come on and see what was new, but also understandably afraid of what money I'd want to spend after seeing all the new LPS!! LOL.

Missed you guys! Look forward to catching up again!

Carly

Hi Carly! Great to hear from you. Although I'm so sorry you've been going through such rough times. I'm sorry about the breakup. I hope you feel better soon. I know that's so tough. You just have to remember there's someone better out there for you. And yes, take things slow. Healing takes time. Best to you!!!

Don't look at the "upcoming" LPS thread. You'll die at how much money you'll have to spend!!!

[mrs"e"]

Good to hear from you, Carly!
Sorry about the break up, but hopefully it was for the best. I hope this new Canadian and you do well. Go Canada!

[Little Pet Crazy]

Glad to see you back again. Sorry to hear about your breakup. Big hugs to you.

[mysticrose29]

Thanks guys. I'm so happy to be back, really; everyone here's so nice, and it's really great! I'm getting to spend good time w/ my parents in my hometown, which is always nice, albeit hot!

I actually just got done going through all my old Barbie accessories (my mom salvaged them when the house was flooded in hurricane Katrina several years ago!!!! Yes, she washed every little shoe and outfit and accessory! I couldn't believe it... All sorts of memories! Really neat nostalgia! Debating on what to hang onto for my daughter (one day) and what to try to sell (some of the pieces I have are in surprisingly good condition and I bet would sell on ebay!).

We still haven't found all my old MLPs yet, though. We did come across a few scattered trolls, though, lol. It's both neat and sad to see all these things from my childhood! Anyways, it was awesome & I thought you guys might be able to relate or at least smile. Who else but my fellow toy-collectors can appreciate something like that?!

Hehe, thanks, E! I really hope he does too. He is SO much like me - it's insane. The things that are different, however, are the things I would want to be dissimilar, and they're highly compatible w/ me! I'm completely in awe of this, of course, and trying to keep from being too infatuated! Lots of convos til 5am, and still can't find something that we aren't a good fit about! lol. It's been years since I've put my beliefs in "soulmates" and such aside, and it's really scary but exciting - what if? I know better than to ask, though, but I can't help but think it! Stupid distance, though, will make things difficult regardless, so only time will tell. I really hope so, though - so far, I never thought all these qualities could be embodied by one person- it's crazy! But yeah, here I go babbling like a school girl, haha! Sorry! "Go Canada," indeed!

Hi Carly!

I'm so sorry to hear about your break-up. I'm glad to hear that you are feeling better though! If you ever need to vent, I'd be glad to lend an ear!

Oh, and I know you mentioned awhile back that you needed the Mcdonald's black Boston terrier. If you still need it, I have an extra one that I'd be glad to send to ya!
