When I was little, my Gee (grandmother)used to sing “Let it be.” to me whenever I would get upset. We were very very close, and she died when I was 17. I’m so much like her, in so many ways. I want to get those three words tattooed on my left forearm. Not only because of Gee, but because the song, now, as an adult has such a deep spiritual meaning to me. I just… haven’t gotten around to it. Also, I’m afraid of not finding a really good script artist, since I want it in my handwriting.

How I did it: Well, first I couldn't track down my W-2's, I hadn't done my taxes in three years. So I called the IRS, and you have to print out a form from www.irs.gov, and they'll send you copies of all the W-2's they have on file (When an employer files taxes, they send copies of your W-2's to the IRS). Then, when I got them in, my wonderful Beau sat down with me and helped me fill everything out, and file. Viola! Read how I did it…
How I did it: On the phone, which is not ideal. There were issues with other vindictive bitches and drama and finally i just called him and told him. He said he couldn't deal, he wasn't ready. It broke my heart. I'm mended, but still..really angry about how it all turned out, mostly at myself. Read how I did it…
You know, it wasn’t as bad as I thought. Two weeks of adjusting and I think it’ll be fine.
Being on a bike is amazing, it gives you time to be randomly nice to strangers. More people should do this.
I’ve left random love notes on cars, and once left two dozen helium balloons on someone’s car….but this is a new idea! I like it! Give a little bit of love!
