I love rainy days. It's so nice to not have anywhere to go, or anything to do, so that you can just look outside your window and watch the rain pour down. It's just a really peaceful feeling, and it's a perfect excuse to just watch movies all day. On top of that, the land around our house really needs rain, since we're trying to grow some new ( Read more... )

I woke up this morning, not having much of an idea what I was going to do all day. As it turns out, I was fairly productive, and kept myself busy for a good portion of the time! I went to the mall and sold back a good number of CDs and DVDs that I don't have any use for anymore. I got over $60.00 for all of it! Quite a find! So I treated myself to ( Read more... )

1. What’s the most embarrassing thing/job you’ve had to do to earn money?

I worked several minimum wage jobs when I was younger, but I wouldn't really say it was embarassing. I just felt as though I was ready to take on a little more responsibility, and I wasn't given the chance.

2. What’s the easiest and quickest way you have earned a buck?The ( Read more... )

At the risk of sounding somewhat cliche, I would venture to say that I believed in the concept of fate for a good part of my life. It was always comforting to me to think that somewhere in the cosmos of this universe, there was a supernatural being ("God") who had planned out my entire life - who I would meet, when I would meet them, what sort of ( Read more... )

These past few days have been really productive for me! I've been doing a lot of cleaning, actually, which normally isn't like me. But I think I'm becoming somewhat of a neat freak lately - maybe it's because of the new baby in the family (and all of the germs that she inevitably spreads around!) Either way, I've really been doing a lot to make ( Read more... )

Digressing a little from my previous post, I wound up at a repair shop recently to get a new battery for my watch, and the gentleman who took care of me noticed that I wear mine with the face down. He asked me what I did for a living, and I told him I was a teacher. Then he proceeded to tell me how he only knew of two kinds of people who wore their ( Read more... )

I think there comes a point in almost everyone's life when they realize the need to move on - the need to grow up, and put away those things that hold them back from greater future endeavors. I suppose, though, that this progress is gradual for most people. But I think it's important for me to be active in this process, so that I can develop as the ( Read more... )

These past few days have been trying for me. My dad came home for the weekend this past Thursday, and I have to admit, I never particularly look forward to that. He usually comes back expecting my mom to drop everything in order to make a hot meal, while he watches the latest sporting event on television. Then he normally does little to nothing for ( Read more... )

1. What is (or would be) your dream vacation?

I think my dream vacation would be a trip to Italy! I am so in love with the culture and the language...and the women! Don't get me started!

2. What's one thing no vacation can do without?

haha! Drinks! And lots of money to blow on needless crap!

3. What has been the best trip of your life so far?I ( Read more... )
