It’s no secret that I love to read but with being on the Internet so much and doing writing for a living, combined with getting back into school, I’ve put reading for recreation on the back burner. I don’t know why though because I love the feeling I have when getting lost in a book. So I am going to try to read 52 books this year for an average of ( Read more... )

It’s time to do the year in review. I was actually pretty content with 2011.

January: Nothing major happened except for waiting for my tax return. I was getting quite frustrated with living in a 1 bedroom trailer with 5 other people but survived.

Feb: Money stressing as I waited for my taxes to get sorted out and Child Support to give us the ( Read more... )

Well it’s almost December 31st so let’s do this.

1. What did you do in 2011 that you’d never done before? Drove to Indianapolis

2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I don’t make them.

3. Did anyone close to you give birth? A few of my awesome online lovelies certainly did. I’m looking at you Lisa.
4. ( Read more... )

I love the holiday season but I really am glad that it is over and I’m ready for the next year to make its appearance. Finances are playing a major part in wanting the season to be over.

Christmas was good. I got pots and pans, knives, a griddle, Avon Cherry Blossom and of course, PJs. Gracie was completely spoiled rotten from everyone. She got a ( Read more... )

Randy and I have been together for 5 years today (minus a few months in the summer of 2010) and we’ve been through SO much I can’t even begin to imagine how to summarize. I’m not even going to try though. We’re happy where we are now and I can’t imagine having a connection with anyone else the same way I do with him. Here are two pictures of us ( Read more... )

As expected, I got 5 A’s and 1 B this semester. I’m quite pleased with myself after being out of school for so long. I’m ready for next semester to start already. I honestly love to learn and being in school fuels my need to do so.

Since I’m off for a month I’ve been enjoying reading for pleasure and finished “The Hunger Games.” I loved it and ( Read more... )

The semester that is. I finished my winter semester off with a final in psychology on a Saturday morning (wtf, seriously) and am so relieved that the papers, reading, discussions and tests are over for the next month.

My tune has changed a bit since the last post. I’ve been playing catch up with money using Text Broker and am pleased to say that I ( Read more... )

I’m not at all into the holiday spirit this year. Bah humbug.

Everything was going quite well until the beginning of October when my freelancing income was cut by more than 1/2 due to lack of assignments. I’ve been trying to work in other areas to pick up the slack but it’s totally not cutting it. Everyone knows that money doesn’t buy happiness, ( Read more... )

It’s the end of the semester and I’m definitely feeling the pinch. I can’t believe the semester ends December 2nd! I have 3 papers to write (Eng, corrections, intro to criminal justice) and a psych, alcohol and substance abuse, and meteorology final. I’m definitely looking forward to the break though. Being a work-at-home full-time student and ( Read more... )

I was just recently informed that the sex shop EdenFantasys has begun carrying bath products. While I do love their wide selection of other products such as Vibrators and lingerie , sometimes it’s nice to take a non-sexual spin in purchases.

While I’ll be the one skipping over makeup, since I never wear it, I’ll certainly be checking out the ( Read more... )
