So a few weeks ago, I got this wild hare brain idea to teach myself to knit. I went and got a set of standard needles, got a book (Knitting for Dummies) and sat down and gave it a shot. Much to my chagrin, I failed miserably. I tried and tried and just [...]

Do I want to do NaNoWriMo this year? I sort of do, but I have NO idea what to write. I’ve been saying I’m going to sit this year out, but the closer it gets, the more I consider doing it. What am I thinking? I really have no idea.

Jennifer Hudson’s mom, brother found dead – 10/24/08 – Philadelphia News – 6abc.com
Oh. My. God.  What in the hell is wrong with people?   It’s sad to think of all that loss.  I can’t imagine how it must feel to lose a parent and a sibling at the same time.   You hear all about [...]

Ugh

Some days I wish I could get rid of my acne problems. Seriously it bugs the living hell out of me to be 32 years old and breaking out like crazy. I stress and break out worse than a teenager some days. What can I do about it? Not a damn thing [...]

Everyone talks about how many medical advancements there have been in the last few years. The advancement of DNA testing is one of the most amazing things that have changed. Determining if someone committed a crime using DNA or finding out if there are problems with an unborn child. When I was [...]

I swear to god, if my spam folder isn’t full of ads for breast enhancements, it’s for penis enhancements. If it’s not that, then it’s diet pills. I know I need to lose weight, but come on, if I want to take some sort of pill I’d talk to my doctor! I [...]

Some days, I feel like one of the most technologically challenged people on earth. I have a laptop and have considered getting a mobile router and air card for it, so that I can actually get more use out of it. I probably won’t because I don’t take my laptop anywhere, really.I don’t [...]

So in my never ending desire to go on a vacation, I was looking at different European cruises. Yet another pipe dream, but it’s fun to dream. I love to see the different things you can do, things that you can see.Vacationing in Europe won’t work for me, I don’t have a passport [...]

I have one of the most annoying cases of acne on earth. It comes on whenever I’m stressed out, and it’s always my forehead. One of the reasons, I think, is because of my weight and the fact that I sweat quite a bit. Really, though, there are not many choices in [...]

I love my camera, I really do. Sometimes, however, I keep thinking that I should buy a Nikon D90 or something similar. I love to take pictures and hate the lack of ability to take professional looking photos when I go to events, like the football game Friday night.Most of the shots that [...]

I never used to hate Halloween, but I do now. I don’t know why, other than the fact that I have no real reason to enjoy it. I never get to go to parties, then again, I don’t like parties. I also never find Halloween Costumes that will fit me.
Sure, there are [...]

Mistrial in Britney Spears driving case as jury deadlocks – Yahoo! News
Well at least one thing is starting to look up for Britney.  I feel  for all the crap she’s had to go through lately.  The girl deserves a break and a chance to get back on her feet.  The media, cops and people need [...]

Xzibit & Michael Bublé Collaborating? Not Likely! – Yahoo! News
Why on earth would anyone even think those two would collaborate? I mean, they’re even more extreme opposites than Ne-Yo and Manson.  I mean, I like both Xzibit and Buble, but come on now.  I know the music industry is stretching to get new things out [...]

Good:* We won the football game Friday night! We actually won homecoming for a change. It was a cold game, but it was a great night. Youth cheerleaders were cute but slightly obnoxious. They’ll be better as they grow up more and learn to cheer and not just *scream* the cheers. [...]

Have you ever noticed that when you’re not looking to move somewhere, you suddenly see all the reasons start laying out in front of you to do it. Seriously, I’ve seen all kinds of reasons to move, including, but not limited to NC health insurance advertisements. Anyone who has read this blog more [...]

I used to live in a small city for a short time. I lived in a questionable part of the city, but never really thought twice about going out walking after dark alone. That was over 10 years ago, though. Recently, the same block I lived on had a home invasion and [...]

I wonder why there are so many weight loss products on the market when people just need to learn why they are gaining weight. In my case, I have thyroid problems, so when those are under control, my weight will be under control. Others have emotional problems, so when they get those under [...]

It’s no secret that I love to cook and try new recipes. That’s why it shouldn’t surprise anyone that I’d want to try to make French toast casserole. What can be better? French Toast is one of the best foods ever and casseroles are just all together yum. So put the two [...]

It’s not even Halloween yet, but I’ve seen people already starting their outdoor lighting displays for Christmas. Why??? I can understand setting up the rooftop stuff and edge of the eaves before it snows. But, the yard scenes? Why? I can understand having Halloween lighting. I’ve seen the coolest pumpkin done [...]

There will be much squee-age! Tonight is another football night. I know it seems odd that I’ve been going to a lot of football games, but really it’s not. I used to go every chance I got when I was still in school. When I graduated, however, I walked away from that school [...]
