So I have spent the last few nights reminiscing through my Tumblr. Sigh. We’ve come a long way since 2013! I regret not journaling more post 2015, but I’m so glad I have a few years documented. Looking back now, man - I was so young! But I have to say, there’s no better feeling than reading past blogs and saying to myself, “Don’t worry kid, you’ll make it.”

Hello out there!! It’s been almost 4 (?!?) years. Forgot about this little corner of the internet that I loved so much and the friendships that I made.

Hope you’ve all been well!!

Postmark?

How many of you have used Poshmark to sell clothes, bags, etc? Or eBay? I have an obscene amount of clothing overflowing in my apartment, and a lot of it has never been worn. I'd like to try and sell some of it if I can. Has anyone had any luck with selling online? I'd love to hear your experience and any recommendations!

Hello Out There! 👋🏻

I’ve been away from Tumblr for a really, really long time. Ironically, it’s been one year since my last post (369 days to be exact).

I’m laying here in bed, unable to sleep, thinking about how difficult this past year has been. I miss writing and getting advice from all of you fine people. I actually didn’t realize that so many of you were still on here posting (I don’t know why I thought the Facebook groups had completely taken over?). Emily (@pinkinnj) even tagged me in a few posts while I was gone and I had no idea. 🙈

I think it’s time to come back. I miss you guys. Since it’s been awhile, do me a favor and comment here with any major life updates from the past year?! It’ll save me some serious stalking. 😜

Since you've been gone?

And here I thought everyone was hashtagging Kelly Clarkson. Thanks for keeping me updated while I was on hiatus, Tumblr...but when's the comment feature coming back?

[fayceofspades]

Can someone please explain to me how one is supposed to keep a "non-iron" shirt from Banana non-wrinkly?! I haven't even worn this yet!

DEVASTATING NEWS.

I officially hate my house cleaning company.

You may recall a few months back when my beloved stuffed bunny, Georgina, was kidnapped a week after moving to London. She was wrapped up in bedsheets by the cleaning lady and never to be found again. I made a big stink about it. Lied and said it was my imaginary niece’s bunny so they would take the lost and found efforts seriously.

And this week they claimed a second victim.

Jake is a big stuffed tiger that Justin had mailed to me after I got my gallbladder surgery. He’s from the British toy store company, Hamley’s, and he was meant to fill the void of Georgina.

Normally the house cleaners prop all of the stuffed animals on my bed after they make it (note: I accumulated a lot of plush animals after my surgery - I am not a crazy stuffed animal hoarder). I didn’t think much of it this week when I didn’t see Jake on the bed. I didn’t even notice, to be honest.

And then tonight when I’m on the phone with Justin, I noticed. I looked for him throughout the apartment only to realize the worst. He had been kidnapped.

I just got off the phone with the company that provides my accommodation:

Him: “You said you lost a stuffed teddy bear?”

Me: “No, he’s a tiger. He’s a stuffed tiger. He’s pretty big. He was a gift when I was in the hospital and he holds sentimental value to me. This is now the second time one of my stuffed animals has been taken away with the linens.”

Him: “Okay, we will speak with the housekeeping manager in the morning and contact you when we have more information.”

!*!%#¥??!

Justin’s calling me a negligent mother for losing not just one, but two of our children.

This really isn’t reflecting well on me.

COME BACK, JAKE!!!! 😫

When you have too much time on your hands and no friends, you do karaoke on snapchat by yourself. 😞

I love Wagamama. And eating alone. Any Wagamamas in the states?!

London, you really sucked over the summer with your 60 degree temps and non-stop rain, but your autumn game is on point. These are the days when I never want to leaf (see what I did there?!). 😜

Skeletons are creepier with eyebrows.

Pardon our dust

Hey, you know the reply feature? That little speech bubble icon at the bottom of some posts?

That’s going away for a little while. We’re making room for something bigger and better coming down the pike. Stay tuned.

[fayceofspades]

BUT WHEN WILL WE KNOW?!

Can't...communicate...with...tumblr...friends...help!

[fayceofspades]

You should be excited to come home! I promise I'll come to NY to hang out for the first time, since you know, it's closer than London!

I'll believe it when I see it, you city hater!! 😜

I hate customs.

On September 20th (whoa, I almost wrote 20 September), I ordered the above fall-ish items from LuLu’s in anticipation of my France/Italy trip with my manpiece. (I would never wear that hat in the US, btw - but France? Yes).

By the time October 7th rolled around, the package still hadn’t arrived. I was bummed. I wanted to look put together in our photos, instead of my normal dirty jeans and v-neck tee look.

Anyway. I tracked the package and it said it was with UK Customs. It was there for 20 days. I thought that was weird. So when I finally decided to call them last week, I found out that the package is held up in Customs until I pay the 20% VAT charge. ^%#$^$^%$#

I thought since my billing address was US that I would be exempt from the tax. No such luck.

Since I’m home sick today, I decided to finally take care of the payment. I called the Postal Force and SURPRISE! Package is now en route back to the US as of yesterday.

Fail. Fail. Fail.

Ultimately, I could either return the package and pay $50 in fees, or have it shipped back to me. By the time it would get to the UK, I’d probably be gone. So I sent it to my NY address. No point in paying $50 for nothing.

There will be a foot of snow on the ground by the time I get this stuff, so let’s hope they are still in fashion next fall.

Moral of the story? US TAXES AREN’T AS BAD AS YOU THINK.

The only thing standing between you and your goal is the bullshit story you keep telling yourself as to why you can’t achieve it.

29 years and my life is still, tryna get up that great big hill of hope.

(My throat hurts today and I don’t even know those girls).

[fayceofspades]

Yup. This is really speaking to me in regards to previously mentioned crisis. Are you telling me that I should get married and have a child within the next 5-7 years?!

WHAT'S GOING ON?!
