to start or not to start
DUDES The last 2 -3 days I have felt like ...ICK! I think on Sunday I should have just stayed at home and not went with david to best buy/ his mom's but I did. Big mistake apparently.. I went to bed at like 10 on sunday (don't even know how I stayed awake that long to tell you the truth.) Yesterday I *tried* to get up like I have been but that didn't pan out either.. or today for that matter. I want to get my wine review up today & my eden post..hopefully...and i need to work some on ChaCha (I got a "job" with them being a Generalist last week, and I haven't really got to get started yet.) It is hard for me to do it when david is home in the evenings..and I haven't had a chance in the mornings yet lol. oh brother. :) I have this feeling that about the time I get started on anything that my mom will have the notion to come over and get me. I have some pants that need hemming and I need to go help her learn how to skype. (which I know will come back and bite me in the … [Read more...]
swing swing
I checked my alexa rating the other for the first time in about.. like 2 months. I had it down to right around 500,000 I won't mention or link to what it is now but if you were to go look you can imagine my shock on why it has went through the roof... I almost passed out...UGH! I don't know what happened but it is my full mission to fix it! It is no wonder why a few reviews i have pitched for haven't panned out!!! As I sit here right now i'm so tired I can't hardly hold up my head...I am trying to make it till 11...I am watching Celebrity Apprentice so hopefully i'll make it.. I knew better than to try to go early because that would just make me wake up in the middle of the night... I think part of the reason i'm not feeling so great is because of the honeysuckle is blooming.. BLAH Yesterday we went to the park! honestly I didn't even know that we had a park until..well.. not that long ago lol. I didn't even care that the little kids were like staring at me lol well … [Read more...]
early up
I have been trying something new the past couple days: getting up shortly after david leaves, generally around 6:30 or so. I am doing fairly decent with it! I hope I can keep it up...it seems to make me feel like I get more done in the day....probably because it is true. look at this morning...I took a oatmeal bath, posted 5 reviews on grits-reviews and wrote 2 reviews! Right now it is 11:00..So right there look at all that I got done before i'd generally even be up! ( I usually get up at 11!) I want to write maybe one more review, an eden fantasys ambassador post and get by to leave some comments at some point today..we'll see how it goes. I'm getting ready to go make me a baked potatoe and chill for a few min, before i do anything else. I am seriously hoping that something positive happens with david's job soon. like i said there are 3 options that do not involve him being laid off. I have got a work at home job that I am going to be starting sometime today hopefully. that and … [Read more...]

things are getting tight
I hate the sittuation that I am in right now, and I can't help but feel paritally responisible for it We are BARELY making it from paycheck to paycheck. i'm talking..scraping by... David's Hours got cut back in the fall right after we moved and now he's down to 32hrs a week. which hey, don't get me wrong it's great he has a job but..he doesn't make that much an hour to start with. but when your 300-4oo bucks short every month...well..it gets tough The reason that I feel that alot of this is my fault has nothing to do with the fact that I don't have a job (and do not go there with me. there are valid reasons that i dont work, and that is all that i'm gonna say on the subject at this point) I was the one that wanted to move back to our old apt. place. This put us 50 more bucks in rent a month, and doubled the travel time to/from david's work. when we moved though david was still getting 40 hrs a week. However David does tend to waste alot of money going to his … [Read more...]
