Tomorrow is "THE" day, i file my bankruptcy. I have cancelled numerous times. huh....Due to several reasons, no filing fee money, work to important, just not being ready.... on paper or in person. So, the day of reckoning financially is here. blowing air.............. They say this action will result in a blacken mark on my credit, well, heck, it has one on it now!

Oh.... anyway, the scattering cat story. ;~)

I was playing dress up trying to decide what looked best to wear to the lawyers. Finally i decided, now for the shoes..... yuck, i hate shoes, i'm a bare-footed gal. Awhile back a friend's mother passed away and gave me several pairs of shoes. At least i have a choice, i decided on this nice pair of scandels with a two inch heel. ok ....  I can do this, i'll practice walking around in them. So i went about my business, house chores and all. I notice my cats scattering every which way. huh .... I went to see what was frightening them, they kept running wild. wow..... I chalked it up too my craziness rubbing off. So, i sat down and tried to relax. The cats calmed down, thank the heavens. I got back up cause i needed to put the clothes in the dryer and there goes the cats scattering again! what the hell. They all stared around and under things, at my shoes! They are frightened by the sound my feet are making! Well i'll be! *smile*

I got to admit i sounded like a horse walking around the house but ....come on, that bad. Well, i quess, i took the shoes off and alls well that ends well! ;~)

.... Hey, i hope i don't scare any folks tomorrow, you know how things echo in big building. lol... I will have to walk softly!

Have a good day!  Take care of yourselves ~ see ya

    LOL silly cats!  they're like that though, afraid of new sounds they don't know.  Good luck tomorrow.  I know it wasn't easy to come to that decision and I hope it all turns out well.

    Well, good luck tomorrow, I hope everything goes well ... and you're less evil than me, lol ... I'd have so totally driven those cats NUTS with my shoes ... but I'm evil that way with my kitties.
  • wombat said on Jul 15, 2009....
    Funny about the cats and the shoes, but sorry about the stress of what you are wearing them for.  Hey, I did this myself several years back--and it was the best thing I could have done at the time.  I wasn't a bad person, just caught up in credit cards and a physical injury at the same time as a divorce while making low pay.  When I walked out of there with no debt, it was the happiest day I had had in ages!
     
    They say it "ruins your credit" but I got offers for more credit cards, of course.  I probably could have bought a boat three weeks later if I had wanted it..  And one day I got one when I needed it.  A credit card--not a boat.
     
    The only thing I worried about was later when I re-married.  I was afraid it would hurt his credit, but time has passed and it seems I have slipped through the cracks as a non-person. 
     
    Just keep your chin up and tred lightly around the kitties!

    Uniquely ~ :~) it was cute, i laughed myself. I live in a quiet home. no neighbor noise neither. so yup, ....you'd thought i was a monster the way they acted. no this was not a easy decision, at all! lordy!

    Hegemone ~ lol.... welllll i thought about it. but i have been acting pretty crazy enough, i didn't want to cause in more frightening thingies. yup, i will need luck, i have been in prayer all day.... praying for strength to hold back the tears and stand.... with some pride!

    Wombat ~ my mind is now sure that this is the only true way to make my future better. my credit counseling told me, i have 77 dollars left a month from paying bills. lol... i'd like to know where it is! ;~)...without paying my credit cards off or their monthly payments. so, tomorrow we file and then i wait for the day to walk out a free woman, also now i can save for the future and my retirement instead of ...... i have learned a very hard lesson. i'll live in a tent and ride a bike before i get in the shape i am in now. ohhhhh but its all going to be ok! *smile* ....heck, i'll be watching my steps in this big old building i'm going to tomorrow. lol... they will hear me coming! xo take care ~see ya

  • secretlife said on Jul 15, 2009....
    good luck tomorrow mmi-  it's a new start for you after that's over.....and new starts are good things.
  • woman said on Jul 15, 2009....
    Secret is soooo right. This will be a new start for you. It can't be easy for you to have to go through but when you come out the other side the kittens will be dancing!
  • Me-Myself&I said on Jul 15, 2009....

    Secret ~ Thanks! :~) blowing air......... yup, a new start is just what the doctor ordered for me. i hate that i "can not" buy what i charged but i didn't do it out of evilness.... it was out of panic from the fire. when a person doesn't even have a toothbrush or ....whatever..... i hardly remember doing any of it ! my credit counseling told me i was managing my budget pretty good. so.....

    Woman ~ i have cried more in the past two days getting ready there i have in awhile. all the numbers, credit places, more numbers and reasons why. sigh..... i think all that is around me will see a change in me after all this is said and done. i know i will feel better without a doubt. i will dance with my kitties, barefooted, of course! *smile*

    Lol cats are funny little buggers. Good luck tomorrow!
  • CayenneMan said on Jul 16, 2009....
                I've never been in you're situation and I never plan to be, but then again I guess nobody really does. I have nothing to offer as far as advice but know in you're heart I wish you alleviation from the anxieties that you have been up against. I do understand and realize you have to play out the cards you were dealt. A bad run of luck doesn't help and is nobody's fault it's just fait we just have to deal with it and realize things will get better and they will. Take you're shadow with you two are better then one. Besides I know you didn't find your way to this path on you're own.
             I have cathedral ceilings but I could never get away with wearing two inch heels unless I were picking apples. I'll always be in you're corner.
  • Me-Myself&I said on Jul 16, 2009....

    Psych-ed ~ thank you! i'm all bent out of shape this morn. lordy my stomach is in a up-roar!

    Cayenne ~ nope, i didn't plan this event, at all! i hope you never find out what it is all about too. my life has been full of moments like this, totally too much! thanks my friend. well here i go, need to clean my act up and suck it up!

    Lord give me strength.

  • queenparanoia said on Jul 16, 2009....
    hi memy... that was funny when your cats got scared of your shoes... :-) how are you my friend?
  • alabamagirl said on Jul 16, 2009....
    Kitty stories always make me laugh.  Guess you really do go barefoot if wearing shoes scared them that bad!  I don't wear shoes at home either, but my feet feel dirty if I don't have anything on them, so I always wear crazy socks that don't match.

    Good luck on your financial situation!
  • MissMimi said on Jul 16, 2009....

    It's not an easy decision, I know from my experience with my sister's situation, but if it provides some relief from debt and a chance for a new start, I think you made the right choice.  Good luck, MeMy.  Get to the bank or lawyers or wherever you have to go, so you can take off those noisy shoes and stop terrorizing those silly cats.  {{{{hugs}}}}

  • CreativeWoman said on Jul 16, 2009....
    ((((Hugs)))) MMI.  I hope that this is a new start for you.  I'm sure you are in a large boat with many other people these days.  Hold your head up high because you have truly tried to avoid this.  You are a great lady.  :-)

    Here's to a brand new start for you and happier days ahead!  Smiling at the comment you made to MissMimi!  You let that hair down, toss the bra and celebrate!
  • moonriver said on Jul 16, 2009....
    my-my, i'm laughing at your cats because it happens to my dogs too, whenever they see me in unusual get-up, or when i arrive home carrying something bulky on my shoulders.
    they bark at me like i'm a stranger.
    our pets easily recognize us of course.
    they just can't get over the shock that we people also act or sound or look weird sometimes... :-) 

  • Me-Myself&I said on Jul 16, 2009....

    Wombat ~ i forgot to type in that i took them off. but i quess you figured it out huh *smile* after i got home, run thru the neighborhood here then i went to the river to give thanks for this new start in my life. it's like when this is allllll over, the fire shit will disappear too. you think? ;~)

    Moonriver ~  yup, i sounded and walked unusually. ;~) oh and i have been acting kinda strange these days too.

  • raindove said on Jul 16, 2009....
    My friend's dog has a habit of biting shoes and ultimately tearing them off. We hide our shoes whenever her doggy is nearby. Not much experience with cats though.
  • Me-Myself&I said on Jul 17, 2009....

    Raindove ~ just lefted your post. *smile* i love your username. one of my cats decided to check out those mean badass shoes that made this terrible sound... ;~) so she attacks them, one paw strike to jumping on the shoe then laying on it! lol....

It goes without saying that we all want to look our best for the big day. So preparation is the key. Take care of your skin, hair and body in the months leading up to the wedding and you will have a good base to start from....
Ideas on life...
You know where you wake up feeling shit, and have a rough day, then it all changes?

Today was one of those days. I just couldn't get started. And I didn't want to go to work or anything. I was only supposed to be starting at five.
