Yesterday turned into one of the best days I have had in a long time. I got a few piddly diddly things done in the house, and even managed to finish the review I have been working on. Jason(my best friend, if you didn't know) came by for a few minutes, and it was really nice to get to see him! he brought me 50 bucks and 4 dr peppers! ha ha. It was awesome. I hope I get to see him again soon, been forever! i guess after you have been friends with someone for 7 years and no matter what kind of crap you have went through with them, when your friends you are loyal and help each other out! We also had david's christmas party for his work (and my dad's yesterday) evening. It turned out to be extra awesome! We got to go back to the "fancy eating steakhouse" (it's local so I won't say the name)(seriously..salad bar alone would cost you $12!) David & I were the first ones that got there and we ordered some sweet tea...soon after his boss,russell my mom and dad and others started … [Read more...]

Review: The Blog Bank E-Book By Stepfanie Cuevas
Recently I decided that the one thing I absolutely wouldn't review anymore was books! I seem to have a difficult time formulating what I want to say about them. However, when I got the chance to review the Blog Bank E-bookby Stepfanie Cuevas,I was more than happy to get on board! I had seen this book around my blog-o-sphere- realm for a while,and I was really interested in it, but hadn't had the chance to check it out yet. Most of you know that I get lots of freebies, paid posts (ok, not lots of paid posts, but some!) and awesome things to review quite regularly. I have really wanted to concentrate more on ways to make my blog help me some money! I know that there are people out there that pretty much use their blog as a part time- full time job. With the way things are going for David & me right now, the more money I can make from simply using my site, well the better I feel about myself being able to contribute to our income. The Blog Bank E-Book is around 40 … [Read more...]
a tiny bit positive
*waves* I am up early again today...I got up early yesterday and for the life of me, I can't tell you ONE SINGLE THING I got done! Today is rainy and very windy and I probably should go lay back down...because I don't think I'll be able to get a nap in because i'm 1. trying to get at least one review finished (it's basically ready to go live) 2.jason didn't get to stop by yesterday so he's coming by some time today 3. need to wash clothes, fold towels,vacuum my living room rug and wash dishes! 4. get ready for david's work chrismas party 5. possibly work on 2 reviews for grits-reviews! 6. other random stuff that i'm sure i've forgot. I sold ONE of of my adult items, My mom is paying my power and insurance, plus jason's giving me money so I am starting to feel a little bit more positive about this crappy situation I have found myself in. I have a ton of other items posted for sale..so hopefully..they might sell! I am sitting here seriously seriously considering … [Read more...]
551
Last night before I went to bed, david massaged me with one of my massage candles on my back and neck..it was awesome, and I slept all the way till 5! (Which is a BIG improvement on waking up at 3) I had every intention of going back to sleep, but when we found out how much his check was, well I just couldn't go to sleep after that. Granted, we knew it was going to suck, we just didn't know how bad. $551. Our rent is 450, Power was 101. How messed up is that? and that doesn't include the need for buying gas or paying anything else. Of course Jason is gonna stop by and give me $50 to pay my insurance with as my christmas present from him..but sucks none the less! I have piddled about the house and done a little bit of this and that. I tore up my already tore up closet to find my Pink Santa hat so I can wear it at david's christmas party tomorrow night. And..well I hope they get a bonus worth a crap, but they really never do anymore because things have slowed down so much. I … [Read more...]
when it rains it pours
I hate to write,especially when nothing has really changed since the last time I wrote, but...I feel like I should make some similance of a blog post. Nothing has gotten better and it sucks.I feel like my dark hole is just getting deeper and deeper. Saturday we went to my mom's and she cut david's hair and styled mine (and thanks to the rain moving in it's nothing but a puff ball) we went to target and got a few things for us to snack on.. I litterally took the last 10 bucks I had and saved grits-reviews. Since I had to save it, and noone acted like they gave a flying crap about helping me I will NOT be bringing review submissions back. I only saved it because I had outstanding reviews, plus I have put alot of work into it this past year. That site has never been the way I wanted it, but anyways..lol I had to get that out! Rent Power and Insurance due all at one time is gonna be extra special suck this time..We are going to def. pay our power and insurances but rent, i'm not … [Read more...]
Holiday Wishlist
As I mentioned before I am totally NOT feeling spirited this holiday season, but I saw the Holiday Wishlist Meme on Jenn's site...and well I figured I'd put one up...Who Knows maybe you can be a person that helps restore my spirit! I participated in the Holiday Wishlist Meme, and since I made sure to grant a wish last year, and had one of mine granted, I’m going to participate again this year. Step One Make a post to your blog, tumblr, facebook, myspace, what have you. The important thing is to make sure these wishes are things you really want and that people can see the post. If you wish for real possible things, make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it’s your address or just an email address at which you can be contacted by potential wish-grantors. Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your post, so that the holiday joy will spread. Step Two Surf around your friends list/blogroll/RSS feeds (or friends friends, or just … [Read more...]
