I caught the last day of a 40% off suit sale at The Limited!!!

Since all I have is one black suit outfit, I figured I needed to amp up my wardrobe before I head to DC. I can’t believe how much money I saved - I got all these goodies for only $350 with a saving of $245.

Oh the beauty of sales and clearance items (and being able to mix-and-match!) <3

Girl Problem: When you have a great hair day but you’re not going anywhere

Whoa lady, settle down….it’s the 3rd day of class. 

Mom,

I know you’ve visited my blog 18 times this past month and I know all the unknown calls I’ve been getting have been from you. I also know that you’re probably mad at me and you don’t understand why I’m not talking to you….so please, just hear me out-

I’m really hurt by the way things panned out when I visited in December. It had been 4 years since I’d seen you, and for some crazy reason, I expected for you to be more excited about my surprise visit. And yes, I did expect you to make the 3-hour drive to Dallas to come pick me up, and yes, I do realize that would mean you would have to sacrifice some sleep. But I only expected it because that’s what parents do. I’ve made the 17-hour drive back to NY just to spend 8 hours with Josh - hell; I’d make the drive to spend 3 hours with him. You know why? Because when you love someone, you make sacrifices for them.

We both made some really low blows and I admit that I did cross the line a few times. I should have never spoken that way in front of Mema and Granddad – it was incredibly disrespectful and immature of me. But do you have any idea how exhausting it is to listen to you say the same thing, over and over again, year after year? You kept asking me what I said to Josh – clearly insinuating  that I was the reason he’s not talking to you….for the millionth time, he’s not talking to you because you put him up for adoption and he has a new family now. You betrayed him and he may never forgive you. I know you don’t want to hear it, but you have to accept the reality of the situation. I’ve come to terms with the fact that Josh and I will never have a close brother and sister relationship – I’m not happy about it, but there’s nothing I can do. I’m just trying to fit in wherever he will let me and you need to do the same. There have been times when Josh and I have had horrible conversations but no matter how shitty the phone call, I always end by telling him I’m not mad at him and I’m here if he ever needs me. There’s nothing you can say to him that will change the way he feels about you; he just has to come to terms with things on his own.

I’m not done talking to you forever – I’m just taking a hiatus. I don’t know how long it’ll be until we speak again, but when we do, I want to have a real conversation. I don’t want to talk about the mean names that my sister have been calling you, I don’t want to listen to you cry about how you’re our mother and we should “respect” you, and most of all – I don’t want you to try and justify your actions by saying it was “in the past.” What you did was a big deal and it’s something that can’t be forgiven. I’m never going to accept your apology but I can live with your mistakes. I’ve had faith in you longer than anyone else in our family and because of that, I’ve been let down more than anyone else. You made the decisions and you have to deal with the repercussions.

 I love you,

Rebeka

You know you’re sick when you carry Theraful, Advil, and cough drops with you wherever you go :(

I’m 3 days in so I should be feeling better soon. Until then, how about some retail therapy??

CASA Luncheon!

I’ve been planning a CASA fundraiser luncheon for over a month and even though all the details are finalized, I’m still a bit nervous about how everything is going to turn out. I tend to have extraordinarily high expectations for things like this (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing), but I feel like I’m the only one that truly wants the event to be a success.

For instance, I stopped by the CASA office the other day to drop off the event tickets and what was one of the first questions they asked me? – “What if we don’t sell all of the tickets?” I know that’s an important concern to raise, but the way it was asked made me feel like they’re already planning to come up short. I just got so personally invested into this event and the last thing I want is for it to be a complete failure…

Here are the event details:

*We will also be raffling off over $200 in gift certificates for local restaurants!*

So Athenians, if you are interested in attending the CASA Sweetheart Luncheon on February 4^th, please contact me at rebeka.geer@gmail.com
