The Gypsy Lifestyle???

[Lonely in BC]

Things continue to change.

The last few months have seen huge changes. Attitude. Career. Lifestyle. Relationships. Now it's where I call home.

Call me crazy but I just signed a one year lease at a year round campground where I'll be living in my motorhome. That's where the "Gypsy" association came from. My home on wheels. My abode. Home Sweet Home! This is something I've always wanted to try, why not now when so much else has changed? I can afford to buy (or build) another home but for now this is what I want. I still own the last house but as far as the previous relationship and the Kid ("little" Poguesy too) goes its better that that stays as it is.

Change is good. Change is exciting. Lately I've been looking in the mirror and asking the reflection "Who the hell are you?".

I'm alone, but maybe it's a good alone now. I don't feel so..... sad and depressed anymore. I'd ask what tomorrows going to bring but since it's already tomorrow (I'm doing a graveyard shift right now) I'll just roll with it and see how it plays out.

Wow. Living in a motorhome (a funky one) in a campground. I never would have thunk it.

So cool.

I'd love to cruise around for a year in an RV. Nowhere to be, just cruise around and check out Americana.

That sounds like something i would do !!! Free spirit, thats what life is for !!

"They see me rollin' they hatin'" comes to mind.

Sounds like a good idea. Should be good for your self reflection.

How much is gas for a motor home? Must be horrendous.

$0 if he lives in a camp ground!

That's right- but when I do run it I get friendly with sooooo many gas station attendants

I want to do the North Americana type of cruise but I think it'll be broken up over a couple of years and on a Harley (possibly in the "Wild Hogs" fashion- lol).

So much I want to experience- if not now, when?

Think about it.

Things are going well. It's pretty quiet where I'm at and the few neighbors I currently have seem to want to leave me alone- so very appreciated.

Here's a pic that was snapped late one chilly evening whilst taking care of sanitary concerns.....

[Poguesy]

That's the guy off National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

Wow, nice pic BC, i'm glad you are adapting so well to your new lifestyle. I do suggest you get some pants, i,m just concerned for your health, looks like its cold there.
Take care

Hey ALL,

Thought I'd pop in and say a quick hello since I'm in a much better frame of mind today- last weeks "misadventure" was a glitch in the Matrix.

I've got a lot of neighbors at the campground but I'm still alone most of the time, I'm not sure I can figure out why? BTW, here's a recent photo........

Seriously though, major change can be great. Working at the mine is such a different world than construction. Driving the big truck continues to be a blast- here's a pic for the newer members.......

My crazy work schedule has made it tough to have a life (currently putting in 70-80 hours a week) but I'm managing to fit a few things in. I found a card lock gym that is open 24/7- pretty quiet in there at 4 AM so it's just me and loud tunes most of the time. I usually get in a pretty decent hike each week (doing so after a leg workout is a guarantee for sore buttocks for a couple of days) and have seen some pretty amazing scenery. I had planned on doing a hike under the full-moon this week but it's not going to work out time wise and I need to buy new boots- sore feet SUCK!

The time I spend with The Kid is the best time of all. I'm with her for the next 3 days so our plans are to be lazy in the sun and do a lot of swimming.

I'm still alone, frequently lonely, but happy. It's tough to even contemplate any kind of relationship given the current circumstances of my life but when it's important enough- when the right person comes along who's important enough- I'll find a way to make it work.

Oh ya, almost forgot, I'm learning how to cook. It's kind of a challenge in my tiny kitchen but I make do. Thank you to a special ALL contributor for your inspiration.

Ciao for now ALL-folk, have a lovely day.

B-b-b-b-brrrrrrrrr,

Heya ALL,

Its winter at the ol RV. I'm currently dealing with 10" (much more on the way) of snow but the major bonus is no neighbours- the majority packed it in for the winter. It's so quiet, so peaceful, so serene.....it's also getting a bit chilly! Thankfully the RV has a decent furnace. I'm still working on an addition (technically its a shed but being a carpenter type I'm taking artistic license and declaring it an addition) that will be connected to the big ol' yella' RV. I found a decent wood burning fireplace to put in it so it'll be warm and romantic

Lets see what else- oh ya, The Kid is ten in a couple of days, I spoiled her rotten, among other various things I got her this since she liked mine so much....

What else, oh ya, bought an "econo-car"...

And I found my "mojo"....starting to have fun with the incredibly lovely opposite gender. Not quite as lonely anymore but I still think I need to get a cat for company on occasion.

Life's fun again!

 

[SophiaGrace]

not bad.

 

[Sci-Fi]

Good to hear your found your mojo.

 

[Badjedidude]

Where do they hand out these mojos?

I want one.
