Margo's got Moxie ! : the diary of miss red high heels

As my Thanksgiving with my Vigeant family comes to a close....Things I have learned since college and hs: Nothing beats hanging out with family and friends. Anyone you tells you otherwise, maybe could use a friend or some fam love.  Getting drunk all the time isn't as cool as you think; plus if you aren't a lightweight, it can also be very expensive and very embarassing.  Those that end up mattering are those who stick by your side at the end of the day when life throws you a strong curveball.  If your parents so called, "bust your chops for some bad choices" ground you, lecture you, and tell you how it is; drop the act, they care and the sooner you figure it out, the more you learn. Sleep is heaven and incredibly great. Take it while it is there, later it will be interrupted, harder to make time for, and maybe nonexistent if not careful. You aren't all you can be in your 20's because you still have so much to learn and isn't that ...

Last weekend, I went to Placerville Airport and a friend/coworker, Pete Meyer took me up in his Camanche small plane. I got up super early, 4:45am. Mia did not like the wake up call lol. I tried to slip out quietly and make sure she was warm. The airport itself is way high up in the hills, and the sunrise that morning was beautiful. The air was super chilly, as the frost was slowly trying to lift from the trees, and crisp as we parked our cars by the garages and hangars. The trip was incredible! I have never experienced something so advanced, but yet so smooth, not as much noise, and unbelievable speed. I even got to fly the plane for a little while. I wore headphones all the way back from 1993! Talking on the radio, felt like the big leagues, and I was definitely stoked to learn a lot of different instructions and rules. Usually it can be pretty boring up there, but I was all over the place, looking at the view, taking in the sounds, smells, just as if I was Disneyland for the ski...

Seriously though, some people around here are incredibly prejudiced. I am amazed at how even in dating how some gals like myself are overlooked because we are spiritual, religious, too sensitive, have big hearts, or we don't fit the mold of the so-called perfect girl. Yeah, there is no such thing. I cannot believe some people assume that because I am a Christian, I am stuck up person, I don't know how to have fun, that I think alcohol is bad, that I am weird, or that I am not worthy of someone to love, because I am misinformed. I have news for you. I have gay and lesbian friends, I drink alcohol, curse, drive a Civic, and love the outdoor backyard. I speak my mind, and wear outfits that make me feel like Michelle Obama and I like to be able to be around people of all walks of life. Some people from all religions, places, backgrounds, practices, are incredibly fun to be around, and you would never even know that I am good friends with quite a few of them. I hate these labels a...

It has been a few weeks or so since having a good time with a few dates and some guys. But that was weeks ago and they dropped off the radar completely and the contacting went back down to minimal or nothing at all. You think for a second how did went so well or so you thought, go south. They could have someone on side, went back to their ex, not a good time, or not into you, but will not say. I hate the word maybe. It means a direct no.     People say it doesn't but it most certainly means no if it comes from someone you know does not make commitments well, guy or girl. It is great. You has a great time and you think this is going somewhere and it crashes and burns. You are left feelin shitty and not so confident about how you did even if it is not about you. In my case, not a clue what is goin on, and still dealin with the aftermath of a few past failed friendships with people who brutally make you feel sad inside and question your sense of self and worth; even if they...
