Is it bad that yesterday, I went to the grocery store to pick up a few things and came home with -5- boxes of Duncan Hines cake mix? 3 of them are the same kind.. Red Velvet Cake. The other two are a strawberry supreme and the other is banana supreme. I’ve never [...]

I’m tired and ready for bed, and it’s not even 11 yet. Probably from reading about the intricacies of an rv warranty. Don’t ask, it’s for a friend of my mother. She’s got the idea that it’d be a good idea to buy one. I’m sure it’s a great idea for [...]

Ugh, I swear, I always have the best intentions, but then something happens and I forget to post. I keep wanting to. I even open up my client window and start typing. But then I get distracted by something. Lately it’s been looking at different home improvement ideas. Our bathroom [...]

Sometimes, Insomnia pays off for people. Why do I say that? Because there is this blogger named Kat who suffers from bouts of insomnia that last days on end. It sucks to have insomnia, but today, it paid off for her in such an unimaginable and touching way. I follow Kat on [...]

It’s after 1am and I’m incoherent. Why am I still awake? Because I said I was going to post here tonight. I was trying to make 7 days straight posting. I failed because it’s now the 21st and I didn’t post the 20th. Boo.
I feel like a boring blogger, since I [...]

Okay, first things first – Dan Brown – The Lost Symbol is an absolute MUST READ if you even vaguely liked The DaVinci Code. Seriously, I am absolutely IN LOVE with this book. I don’t usually gush unless I really think the book is worth it.
Secondly, I’m getting real tired of infomercials. [...]

So here’s a little known piece of trivia about me. I went to college for business administration, but I was also working towards a second degree. I wanted to earn a degree in computer science. I wanted to work in software development. The problem, however, is that I didn’t take to [...]

I’m a little bit tired, but not really. I have this weird aversion to sleeping lately it seems. I blame it on my bed. We made a huge mistake when we were looking for a new bed. I need to learn to test out mattresses before buying. Our bed is [...]

I need to sit down and figure out how much money I need to save in order to pick up all the things that I need in order to be a completely successful writer. The first thing I need is a better laptop. I decided that ages ago. I’d thought about the Asus [...]

Have you ever wondered just how ignorant some people are? I have. I live in the country and have neighbors who are typical country neighbors. They aren’t bad, don’t get me wrong. They just don’t think sometimes. For instance, there is a family with young children that ride bikes in the [...]

I’m seriously unhappy about a lot of things. I got slagged all over twitter for having an opinion and posting my opinion in MY blog. If I post something in my own blog, it is my right to say whatever I want, whenever I want and if I don’t name names, who’s to [...]

This is a gratuitous happy fun post, just so that I can talk about frivolous ways I’d spend my money if I was independently wealthy.
First frivolous expense: A motor home. Sure, that means motorhome insurance, but how much fun would that be? Travel whenever and wherever you want. No need to pack your [...]

I hate balancing my checkbook. I hate money. I hate not having any money. I need to be independently wealthy. If I was independently wealthy, I could go get Plano porcelain veneers. I hate my teeth. I never saw a dentist as a kid and I pay for [...]

I had a great day Saturday. I spend the hole day at the Van Etten Festival. Most of it, I spent bonding with my editor. It was really nice. I got to know her a lot better, which was something that I feel is quite important.
I got to see some people [...]

Okay, guess what folks. I’m PISSED OFF. I’m goddamn sick and tired of people slagging on Laurell K Hamilton and/or Stephenie Meyer. Who died and gave you people the right to sit and slag on someone elses writing? NO ONE. If you don’t like their writing, DON’T READ IT. Plain [...]

It’s starting to get cold! I don’t like it when it starts to get cold. Time to see if I can find some travel deals for warm places! Seriously. I shouldn’t complain though, I have a roof over my head and a furnace that works. I’m blessed to not have to [...]

Exercising while you’re expecting is important for a number of reasons. You’ll sleep better, avoid fatigue, and enjoy an easier pregnancy. There are many types of activities you can do to stay in shape as a mother-to-be. Among them, walking and swimming are ideal. Both are cardiovascular, which means they will improve your body’s use [...]

Sunblock is generally a good idea when you’re going to be out in the sun. I know this. I’ve known this for years. However, the actual application of said sunblock seems to escape me every single time. Thusly, after over 3 hours out in the beating, boiling sun for a football game, [...]

Lets talk about something new! But what? I don’t really have anything new to talk about. We could talk about what my schedule for the foreseeable future looks like?
Sept 4 – Grocery shopping
Sept 5 – Football!!!!
Sept 6 – Bowling Party
Sept 9 – Van Etten Remembers
Sept 12 – Van Etten Festival
Sept 28 – Rob’s Dr [...]

My mood has lifted immensely. I’m not quite sure why. I’m still annoyed by idiots who can’t pay attention or accept that they are wrong. It’d be like me telling someone that they need to go to an austin weight loss center when they live in Dallas and not listening when they tell [...]

So, my first article was published. Front Page. I’m kind of shocked by that. Sadly, the paper is not currently available online and I’ve yet to get permission to reprint my articles. I’ll ask my editor when I see her next week.
Right now, I’m currently annoyed by the Big Brother bloggers [...]
