Lighting the Fire.

Today I celebrate my independence as I succeeded in lighting fireplace sans ex-boyfriend. In previous times, I would either:

A. Use an "Easy-lite" wood logs that can be purchased for $5.99 and do not release any wonderful smell or aesthetic quality.

B. Proclaim the need for help and coerce my ex to come over and "help me light my fire [place]". Yes, I know. It sounds like a Doors cover-up for something more than just fireplace use.

Today it was rainy and chilling outside and I wanted nothing more than to smell the oak-y scent of firewood and feel the warmth radiating from the center of my apartment. I considered calling over the expertise of my ex, but knew I was asking for trouble. The testiment of being single is will power. Say it with me: I will not fall back on someone for the sake of ease, comfortability or confidence. I am completely capable of achieving what I want, when I want, and by myself!

See the results!
