To celebrate being 40 here's 40 things about ME

Yes today is my b-day. I was initially, and had been feeling somewhat glum for a bit about turning that corner from 30s to being 40. I had a friend Miss Kalimah Iman (thanks Lady) remind that I should think of all of my accomplishments, all the storms I've weathered and how fabulous 40 is. So, needless to say I'm feeling a bit better and will be embracing this new stage in my life.

I have gone through sooo much in my 40 years of life, and with everything I've gone through I've learned and grown and appreciate every single up and down from the good to the bad. Had it not been for the people that have come and gone, those that have endured WITH me and all the experiences in my life I wouldn't be the person I am today; so for that I am grateful and happy that I can say I'M 40 TODAY!!!!

A beautiful Sister Leah Salmon (So love her) shares this day with me. She turned 30... Happy Birthday Leah!!! and did a blog post entitled 30 things you probably didn't know about me... So I'm following suit, but listing 40 of course.

1. I am originally from Chicago IL, but still consider myself to be a Minnesotan since that's where I was raised from 12 and lived until I was 35. Minnesota and I have a love hate relationship. Love and miss many of my friends there....but the weather....Ummmm HATE IT!!!

2. I have 5 Children, 4 that I birthed and 1 step daughter. 21, 19 (both boys) 13 and 13 (both girls, no not twins, one is my step daughter and still my baby even though I didn't give birth to her) and my 5 year old little boy. People are always amazed by my age and the number of children I have...LOVE IT!

3. Changed my name at 35 from Gerri (UGH) still hate the sound of that to the ever fabulous Amira. Interesting story with this.... My 19 year old gave my 5 year old a teddy bear 2 days ago that he absolutely ADORES and has spent every waking moment with and has taken everywhere. When asked what the bears name was he said she was a girl and he was going to name her Beary Gerri, which I found interesting. 1 because my Mommy used to call me that, even as and adult and 2. he's never known me as Gerri or even heard anyone refer to me as such. ODD

4. Lived in 3 different states (MN, GA, and CO) in 2006. Would love to go back to Georgia. Absolutely loved it there....plus I could use some warmer weather right now.

5. Met my husband at 33, Fell in love with him at 33. Had our son at 35 and Married at 36. We've been on quite the Journey and will be celebrating 4 years of marriage on December 15th. Surprised he hasn't divorced me yet. Kidding. :)

6. Lived in California from the time I was 2 until I was 8 or 9. My momma was a gypsy I swear. We moved all over the place. Probably why I'm always so disturbed at the idea of moving. Although I loved CA and have very vivid memories of our time spent there, don't think I'd ever want to live there again.

7. My father, whom I'd never met died in 1994. On his side I have 3 sets of twin brothers and sisters. Met the eldest sister who moved to CO the same year I did for the first time this past summer. She now lives in GA (amazing) and is considering moving back to CO. She has a daughter and 3 grandchildren here. I was amazed by how much we looked alike (scary) when I met her and instantly loved her. Sad that I missed out all these years and looking forward to meeting many of the other relatives on that side.

8. Am a Mama's girl!!! Was rotten when I was younger, didn't realize it at the time. I used to throw SERIOUS tantrums every time my mom would leave up until I was 6 or so. I have no idea how she tolerated that. I cried so bad one day she had to take me to work with her. Ridiculous. All my kids were the same way. Lol Payback.

9. Still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. Thought I knew, but it seems to be changing with the wind.

10. Knew how to drive, but didn't actually get my license until I was *cough* 26. Lol Funny thing is I had 2 cars before I could actually drive. Pure silliness!!1

11. Was incredibly shy until I was probably 19 or 20, but once I got to know you.... I was a clown. Lol Still a bit goofy at times, but hey that's me!

12. Have 2 friends that I love dearly Dinah and Carlita. Dinah and I have been friends since 13 and Carlita and I since 16 or 17. That's a long time. Wouldn't trade our friendships for anything in the world. And one guy friend Bryan who I've been friends with since I was about 14. We thought we were boyfriend and girl friend back then...but all we did was hang out. He's a great guy although he's made me want to kill him more time's than I can count. Lol But he's my boy and I still love him too.

13. Have made 2 attempts to finish college. This January will make my 3rd and final attempt. I'm finishing this time. I wish I had known at 18 what I know now. So wise to go to school when you have NO or very few responsibilities.

14. Desperately wanting to move to Africa and hoping that upon my daughter graduating from highschool (5 long years away) that move will be made. Hoping that ALL my children come with me, but knowing that it wont be a reality.

15. I'm a very emotional person. I cry at the drop of a dime. Well, not literally.... When we watch movies as a family everyone is always watching me waiting for the tears to start falling and then make fun of me. Crappy family!!! I cried watching Lion King, Toy Story 3, Despicable Me and several other cartoons. Lol

16. Used to hate not having something to do and not having people around, but as I've come to LOVE ME and get older I so appreciate that quiet quality time alone.

17. Became a full fledged vegetarian almost 2 years ago and became vegan (although we still eat salmon and fish so maybe technically we're not really vegan) about a year ago. LOVE IT!!!

18. Have developed some awesome friendships and met some truly beautiful people through blogging that I love dearly.

19. Gave up Television about a year ago. We agreed as a family there were too many negative influences for our children and felt there were more productive things we could ALL be doing with our time and as a family. Don't regret it at all, although sometimes I do miss my HGTV.

20. Have 2 brothers 50 John, 30 Eugene; who is known to family by his middle name Wes. So hard for me to call him Eugene and a 1 sister Rosalie 41, who has always been Lee Lee when I was little and then Lee. Cant call her Rosalie....Just doesn't seem right. Lol I used to cry when I was little and she would leave for school. Man, I was a brat! Lol These don't obviously include the million of siblings on my fathers side.

21. Started a blog in 2004. Blogged pretty regularly until 2008. Introduced to FB and it was all down hill from there. I enjoy blogging but rarely find the time to do it. Shut down my original blog and came over to blogger, so lets see if I can pick this thing back up.

22. Was a huge Tom boy growing up and didn't willingly put on a skirt until I was 16.

23. Had my first real boyfriend and real kiss at 15. We dated for like 2 weeks. Lol. So is that really considered a real boyfriend? He's a recent friend on FB so I won't put his business out there or embarrass him. Broke up over some silly girl.... he's a cool guy though.

24. Moved out on my own a few days before my 19th birthday.

25. Everyone seems to consider me a Mother type figure and call me Miss Amira. I have no idea WHEN this started, but I don't really mind it.

26. Used to fight ALL THE TIME from 5th grade on up. Used to be quite the quick tempered little individual. Never Started a fight though. Well maybe just 1, literally.

27. Used to go out and used to drink ALL THE TIME. So glad I out grew that stage. Don't know what the fascination was but, UGH! Glad it's over. Tequilla was typically my drink of choice. Had several embarrassing moments while drinking that I WONT share, but pretty hilarious when I reflect back on them.

28. Used to be really insecure. So glad I'm over that!!! I'm very happy with me and who I've grown to be. Still have some growing to do....but then don't we all.

29. Ran track in middle school. For some reason my kids don't believe this. Lol. Their so goofy.

30. Played the Bassoon and was really quite good from 7th grade to 9th grade. Had a crush on my band teacher in middle school, Mr. Mazyck. Wonder where he is now and how he's doing.

31. Love to read.... Love old school hip hop and old school R&B. Hate the new artists out today, with the exception of my girl Chrisette Michelle and maybe a few others.

32. Got mad at my mom at 16 and went to stay with my Sister Girl Dinah. Her mom used to work nights and we used to sneak out almost every night. Got into so much mess and had sooo much fun. We have so many fun memories it's not even funny. I'll have to blog about the car crash one day. That was HILARIOUS!!!!! She's is still to this day one of the craziest (in a good way) people I know. Hubby's running a close 2nd. VERY close. Lol

33. Took my first vacation as an adult at 27 (crazy) to the Bahama's. Again Dinah was along for the ride on this one. Had a blast. One of the best trips of my life.

34. Never been on a real vacation with Hubby. We've got to work on this cause that's down right ridiculous. Goal for 2011.

35. Have some insane pet peeves.....Hate doing ALL the laundry and then for someone to put dirty clothes in the laundry room. Like I expect for people to not change clothes. Hate when I vacuum and then someone walks on the carpet or when I clean the bathroom and someone goes and showers or uses the bathroom. I know I'm special. Lol

36. Hate Banana's and peanut butter and peanuts. The smell of bananas makes me want to gag. Actually just saying the word and talking about it makes me sick.... moving on

37. Terrified of bugs and deathly afraid of birds. Fish even freak me out. Have no idea where these fears came from. I've got to overcome them seriously!!!

38. Absolutely LOVE ALL of my in-laws. They are all such an amazing bunch of people....even though their all crazy. Non stop laughs. It's the ONLY reason I look forward to the holidays, so we can all hang out.

39. Speaking of holidays...I'm quite the grinch. As I get older the more I dislike them. If I had no children I wouldn't celebrate any of them.

40. Have not cooked a holiday dinner in the past 4 years since moving to CO. Another reason to LOVE the inlaws. I learned to cook when I was somewhere between 8 and 10. Although I'm a great cook (made Hubby gain soooo much weight once we moved in together) I don't particularly enjoy doing it, only because I had NO choice but to cook EVERY DAY. Now that Hubby has learned how to cook (still think he lied for years and always could) and I get breaks occasionally, I'm starting to enjoy it again.

All right, this was extremely long and because of that I probably wont blog for another month or two. Kidding! Hope you all enjoyed learning a few things about me, I definitely enjoyed sharing.

Have a fabulous Sunday and as always..... Peace and Blessings.

So much and so little.....




















Hey blog world...the world is yours!!! Lol, why did that song just pop into my head as I was typing this? You all know the song I'm speaking of right, Hey young world by Slick Rick. Funny how things just pop into my head sometimes. Lol

Anywho......

So I feel like there's been so much and so little going on in my life all at the same time. Does that even make sense???? As uneventful as life can be around here sometimes, it's been pretty busy. It seems like between me and the Hubby we've been at the doctors, specialists, physical therapists, primary physicians, chiropractors every single day for the last 6 months. I'm to the point where I almost want to just throw in the towel, but I know that wouldn't be medically beneficial.....so we push on.

I feel like with my back issues, I'm making absolutely NO progress. My doctor has made the suggestion several times to try injections, and as we become more aware of the things we put in our bodies and even ON our bodies, the thought of injections has me feeling very uneasy. And I say if I'm having doubts and feeling uneasy about it then it's obviously not something I should even consider. So that's OUT. He also suggested acupuncture and today I actually had my 2nd.....what do you call it....treatment???? I don't know.

The chiropractor that I'm seeing now Dr. Bruce is super cool. He takes his time and explains every little detail and always seems genuinely concerned with how I'm doing. He ALWAYS notices when I'm not feeling as well as I typically am. Gotta love a Dr. that really know's their patients. I was seeing this other guy, at the same office who just wasn't real personable and I haven't even seen him around much at the clinic. The last time I saw him he must have been P.Oed or something because I swear I thought he was going to break my back in two. I'm usually pretty quiet with my pain, but when he cracked my back I actually almost screamed..... I think I said something along the lines of "OWWWW. OH MY FREAKING GOODNESS!!!!" Funny as heck when I think back on it, but not funny then in the least bit.

Hubby is really tackling this math class and I have to say I'm soooo very proud of him. He's always done everything within his power to avoid math and he went into this class full force determined to not let it defeat him. He's got a little over a week left and is standing at a pretty high B at this point. I have to admit I find it really humorous when he starts getting frustrated. It's written all over his face and he starts talking crazy about the math problems and is so animated about it. It takes everything I have NOT to fall out laughing. I know he'll be mad at me, but when he get's mad and starts making up his own curse words it's hard to control your laughter.

Little one is doing pretty well with us homeschooling him. He's kind of getting into a regular routine and he's really enjoying math and learning to read. I've also been trying to teach him Nuwaupic and he's catching on pretty well, and I'm trying to learn at the same time. I have to thank our many of our Nuwapian family and Nuwaupic for Nuwapians on FB for helping because learning another language as an adult (at least for me) is no easy task... No joke! Speaking of school, I decided to return to school finally, or should I say AGAIN. I think I mentioned this on FB and I'm pretty excited. Classes start in January and I've got all my ducks in a row so far.... just waiting for November 15th so I can register for classes. Yeay!!!!

So.....ummm it's one in the morning and I'm up blogging instead of having myself in bed asleep. I have my 2nd round interview for a job (mentioned this on FB also) in the morning so I think being up now when I have to be up in less than 4 hours, probably isn't the wisest move. What do you all think????? My mind has been so preoccupied lately it's ridiculous.

So that's it for me folks. I'm off to bed in the hopes that I'll actually be able to settle my mind and sleep. Hope everyone enjoys the remainder of the week.... as always.....

Peace and Blessings.

Seeing changes













Greetings all!!!

As this week comes to a close I reflect back on how hectic it's been. It seems like I haven't had a free moment to myself all week. Not that that's anything new, but it prompted me to take a look my health (emotional included) and recent changes we've made.

I'm up every morning by 5 and although I'm typically in bed by 11 I usually only get a few hours of sleep because of my back, with the exception of when I take medication. If I take medication I sleep like a ROCK, and I do mean rock, but I'm trying to get away from doing that. This week was extremely busy and I just noticed I've had an tremendous amount of energy for the amount of rest I'm actually getting every shadow hours. I've even, to my surprise noticed that I've actually lost a few pounds as well. Hooray Me! Not anything that's going to make me run out and buy a new wardrobe, as much as I would love to do that but a few pounds is better than no pounds and even better than weight GAIN. So if anyone wants to fund that shopping spree please let me know. :o)

I have NO choice but to attribute these things to the changes we've made in our diet. I mentioned these changes a few blog entries back. If you didn't read about it we'll all hold while you go back and catch up...... All caught up? Great! Let's move on.

We (Hubby and I) had initially decided we were going to fast during the day. The plan was that we were going to drink our green concoction (juiced green veggies) during the day, water and then only eat dinner. The juiced greens would provide us with the energy and the vitamins we need during the day, or that was the plan at least. I just couldn't do it. That crap was soooo nasty. Maybe we just haven't found the right combination of veggies, I don't know, but it just makes me nauseous thinking about it. So we've resorted to drinking water with lime.

I'm proud of myself because I'm not a big water drinker and am surprised that I've never been chronically dehydrated. I think I have the worlds tiniest bladder because I would drink a cup of water and literally be in the bathroom 5 times within an hour. I'm not exaggerating either. And don't let me drink water before bed. I may as well plan on being up for the night. So for that reason I would rarely drink water which is SO unhealthy, I know.

So all this to say pretty much all we've been drinking over the past 3 weeks is A LOT of water. We've had fresh squeezed lemonade with Agave Honey and strawberries or raspberries but that's been it. We haven't had any bread, which is good for us because in the past we would typically have bread with every meal. We've had no white flour, refined sugar, candy or heavy starches (that convert to sugar). We haven't had any dairy in about a year I think, or close to it, which has made a big difference also. More that 80% of our dinner is vegetables (that are high in alkaline) and we haven't had anything processed. A majority of our foods we've eaten and prepared, for quite some time has been from scratch.

Six months ago I would have been exhausted and ready for bed by 6 or 7. I'm usually a little tired when I first wake up, but then after a few minutes I'm ok, where as in the past I would have felt sooo fatigued and hit my snooze button so many times that I end up rushing trying to get my daughter to the bus on time. I'm not mentally and physically drained by the end of the day and I feel like I have more patience. I usually just go to bed because it's getting late and I know I have to get up in the morning, but it hasn't been me going to bed due to lack of energy.

I all know is FACTUALLY we've made some changes in our diet and I've seen a big difference in how I feel physically. There haven't been any other changes that have been made so you do the math. What's YOUR conclusion? Uh Oh! I sound like Hubby relating life to math, Go me!!!

I chose to share this, because, hey it's what I do. Lol. Know seriously though. I've had people question me about why we chose to become vegetarian and then vegan. I caught flack for YEARS from people for not eating beef or pork. I still get people looking at me sideways when I say we don't eat meat, like it's something totally foreign. It seems like whenever we do something that will benefit US and our health in positive way there's always someone that has something negative to say. They act as if we're crazy for eating the way we do or choosing not to eat foods we feel are unhealthy. There MUST be something wrong with us!! We are just choosing what we fell is a healthier lifestyle and you don't have to like it or respect it. It's what WE do over here and you don't have to be a part of that if you don't choose to.

A sister on FB shared a video of Dr. Sebi. He speaks a lot about electric foods and uses herbs for natural healing and it's actually documented that he's cured numerous people of various dis-eases. She mentioned trying to share this information with people and how often they just aren't trying to hear her. It got me to thinking how in the past I've often felt the exact same way. My response was, all you can do is to provide the information. So this is me sharing and hoping that someone, if only one person, finds something in this that may be as helpful to them as it has been for me.

So with all that being said..... I'm wishing everyone a very blessed and beautiful weekend.

Peace and Blessings!!!

Beginning the process....

Hey all! Hope it's been a great weekend for everyone. It's been gloomy and chilly all weekend here, needless to say I haven't been pleased. I notice how my mood is seriously determined by what the weather is, at times. I'm not looking forward to winter and cant think of ONE TIME where I ever have. There is NOTHING about the season that I enjoy. BLAH!!!!

I've been, for so long, contemplating going back to school. I come up with a million and one reasons why the time isn't right or why it's not feasible and while I continue to talk myself out of it time continues to pass and I continue to have the same conversations with myself why I should or why I shouldn't. So since it's an idea that I can't let go of, and it's becoming more apparent to me that I'm NOT going to be able to work in the type of environment I want to work in, or even really work for myself, without furthering my education the decision has been made.

I looked into a few schools, got information on the programs I was interested in, had a few phone and email conversations and have begun the process to start school in the spring. Hooray!! So of course winter can come and go soon enough now. Lol. I filled out my Fafsa, which was probably a waste of time. Since Son wasn't eligible for any financial aid, I'm sure I won't be either, but it doesn't hurt to try. CO also has something called the Colorado Opportunity Fund which is a stipend that CO residents get that pay a portion of their tuition. I think the max is $500 per semester.....every little bit helps right. So I applied for that as well. I think really the only requirement for that is that you be a CO resident.

I'm pretty certain that I'm going to be starting from scratch since it's been so long since I've been in school. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that at least SOME of my credits will transfer, so we'll have to wait and see on that one. I guess what ever the case is, the bottom line is time is going to come, and time is going to go and for me to not make the best use of my time is crazy. 4 years from now I could be sitting in the same position weighing my options; but instead of doing that I've decided to put myself in the position where in 4 years, hopefully much less than that, I will be in a better position career wise.

The New me

Hey All. Hope everyone is having a wonderful week as we near the weekend.

So I've undergone some changes the last several months or so. Had a slip and fall back in March and have been broken down since then. Along with the injury from having an MRI, turns out I have degenerative arthritis in my back. I'm truly my mothers child because she suffers from that as well. I never had any problems prior to the accident but my primary Dr. says accidents sometimes trigger it or make it worse. LOVELY. So I have the worst time sleeping and doing my normal everyday activities is.....shall I say less than pleasant, not to mention my attitude has been less than pleasant as well. Don't know how the family stands me at this point. Lol

I've been going to Physical Therapy, getting massage therapy and seeing the chiropractor since, but nothing really seems to help. Not to say that the massages don't feel GREAT. I always look forward to those. A recent visit with my Dr. and he suggested trying some Yoga, so that's next on the agenda. I've just begun to feel that NOTHING is going to help and occasionally just want to throw in the towel with all the Dr. visits, but I'm going to keep plugging along.

Hubby and I went 100% Vegetarian a little over a year ago and then went somewhat Vegan shortly after that. We still eat Salmon and Tuna, so I don't know if we can really consider ourselves Vegan since we're still eating the fish. We found this awesome Baker that lives in our building named Yuri. She made the best Vegan Lemon Muffins and for our sons 5th b-day a few weeks back made the most delicious Vegan Cupcakes. They were so cute and tasted so good, his little picky self CRUSHED them. Lol For anyone living in the Denver area you can find her at http://www.nuve.moonfruit.com. The downside to this is that we've decided once again to change up our diet so even the ingredients in the vegan baked goods, we're finding aren't healthy for us. We've decided to try an Alkaline diet, so we'll see how that goes. If anyone wants more info about it you can read about it here --->http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkaline_diet

So currently since Monday we've been fasting to cleanse our bodies of all the toxins and been drinking water with alkaline drops, drinking a nasty green concoction, juicing vegetables and eating Miso Soup. Love the Miso and always look forward to dinner time cause I suck that stuff up like a someone that hasn't eaten in months. Hubby told me one day I was acting like a fat person. Lol We both were and if not for the humor in it, it'd probably be a lot more difficult. Needless to say since Monday I have been one irritable person. Lol. I constantly smell food at the most odd times; I think my senses are heightened, although I have NO common sense right now.... Go figure. Lol As of today we're on day four and it's getting a little easier, but my greed always kicks in full gear when I see or smell food and going to the grocery store is TORTURE!!!!!

So what else....Kids have been back in school since Mid and late August. Girlie 1 and 2 are in 8th grade which is so UNBELIEVABLE. My step daughters mom got married in August and they moved from GA to Michigan, and girlie was NOT happy although I think she's adjusting and beginning to like it. I know when the cold weather kicks in she's gonna hate it. It's always an adjustment for kids at that age having to move and make new friends but she seems to be doing good.

My little girlie is going to turn 13 on October 13th. It's so funny how they grow up so quick. She's been hinting around about all the gifts she want's.....A Gibson guitar, the one she wants is a couple grand....I DON'T THINK SO. She wants some little Sony flip camcorder, the new Ipod touch or that Sony Dash. This little girl loses and breaks her cell phones on a regular and has lost an Ipod, lost a Nintendo DS, and just doesn't do a great job taking care of her things period so we really struggle with investing in any kind of electronics for her. She's doing great in school and finished last year will all A's and a few B's so I have a hard time not rewarding that, so we'll see.

My 19 year old has started his 2nd year of college. He's staying home this year cause those dorm fees were NO JOKE last year, plus he realized how nasty other folks are when you're living with them. I thought that was funny. It's amazing to me how fast that first year went, but I don't think it flew by as fast for him. I'm just looking forward to him finishing as I'm sure he is as well. He's been doing a lot more driving. He was a little leery about it when he first got his license last year, and I was terrified. I've gotten a little more comfortable, although he's already had on minor fender bender that left a ding in my car and some black paint on my front fender from the other persons car. I'm not pleased at how my car is looking, but I do love not having to chauffeur him around. I still worry and if he hasn't made it home by a certain time from school panic starts to set in. Lol. I know he's tired of my text's and calls about "are you safe, call me when you get there, call me when you're on your way home, etc. I've gotten a little better about that I think. He may disagree. Lol

Oh, and final thing..... Why did I LOSE my job back in June. The job was doing all kind of crazy crap that I'm not even going to get into. I think I've blogged about it on my other blog and not only me but EVERYONE in my department was getting fed up and walking around with a short fuse. Not to mention we didn't get our yearly raise because they claimed the economy was so bad, but yet the still continue to hire new people and we were busier than we had ever been in the entire time I worked there. Long story short they did a mandatory schedule change for everyone in our department. Like people don't have outside obligations, kids, school, part time jobs and whatnot. I guess our only obligation was supposed to be to the job. I was out on short term disability and then FMLA because of my injury when they made the decision and it was based on performance and attendance. Since they were still in the process of approving my FMLA I was dropped to the bottom of the list and got a crappy schedule. I was getting off too late to where I couldn't pick up my kids. I talked to my manager and the department manager and was like there is NO WAY this is going to work. I got a funky response and basically told them my family is first so I'm leaving at my normal time to pick up my kids, which was basically a half hour early every day. Not to mention I had vacation time that they wouldn't allow me to use to leave early.

So they ended up firing me and a gang of other people who had similar issues with the scheduling. I filed for unemployment,which they fought, I appealed and won of course. Although for some reason there's a 3 month delay with me getting a payment.What got me is how when we had the hearing the HR person from my job got on the phone and straight up lied about how I was NEVER on fmla and said I had excessive absences when all the absences we're under fmla, my leaving for Dr's appointments. They lied and said I didn't have vacation time, all though I have two check stubs from where they paid me for the vacation time that I had accrued up to that point. They had some woman representing them saying that I would leave work when ever I felt like it and could have come back to finish out my shift. I'm like 1. who the hell are you, 2. you are NOT at the location I worked at, 3. I didn't leave whenever I felt like it, I ALWAYS notified my manager and supervisors and followed proper procedure EVERY TIME I left and how the HELL do I come back and finish my shift when I was leaving only a half hour early daily. Freaking idiot!!!!! I was appalled that they would be so dirty. Not only did they do that to me they did it to a number of people that they fired.

Job hunting has been a pain in the you know what. Everyone that's hiring is paying less than I can afford to make or folks just aren't hiring at all. I fill like I've filled out a million and one applications with no luck. I'm considering taking this opportunity to finish school, which means more money that I don't have, but we'll see.

So as if this wasn't long enough, I'm going to end this now and wishing you all a happy rest of the week and an even better weekend.

Peace and Blessings.

Ok so I've moved from Blog.city officially

It's not as if I blogged on a regular basis anyway. Face book has been too addicting and makes it so easy to neglect the blog. Lets see if things change now that this is my official new home.

Can I get some housewarming gifts people???

Peace and Blessings,
