I’m an "As Seen on TV" Junkie
I admit it. Every time I see some new gadget or gizmo on one of those infomercials I want it. Not the infomercials where Billy Mays screamed at you (I’ve had enough of people screaming in my life), but most of the other ones. Although I have tried Oxi-Clean. It’s pretty awesome stuff. My husband…

Trying to Put on a Happy Face Today
3 more days to go, and I need a little encouragement today.I love Penny Marshall. If you only watch this starting at 3:30, it’s worth it. 🙂

Happiness Is…
Yesterday my husband took me out for breakfast, and this is what we ended up next to in the parking lot. I could hardly keep myself together while I was taking the picture.

I’m a Big Girl Now
Tonight a lady I knew came up and showed me a picture of her boyfriend and asked, “What do you think?” I think I felt like I had gotten kicked in the stomach. What do you say to someone when such a terrible feeling washes over you and you want to start screaming, “Run…

I Quit
Today I quit my job. It was a bad job, and I don’t want to go into details, but trust me on this. It was just bad. When I told my boss he said, “Oh? So you’re just gonna give up?” Give up? No. I need to let this go so I have space for…

Starting From Where You Are
Now that we are on Day 11 of the Ultimate Blog Challenge, I finally feel ready to get started on this blog again. I have been keeping up at my other site Amethyt Tarot and I haven’t felt rushed or behind at all, so I guess it is time to bring this blog into the…
