Some tid bits about me.

1.) I will watch a movie that will make me cry on purpose. I just sometimes get the urge to cry and therefore will find a movie that I know will make me cry. I LOVE movies that make me cry. I have cried at happy movies and sad movies and at movies that did not end the way I wanted them too. I cry every time I watch the scene in Armageddon where Harry and Grace say good bye. I cried almost thru the entire movie of Amish Grace. I cry just about every time I watch Walk to Remember, Beaches, Fried Green Tomatoes, and Steel Magnolias. I have also cried during commercials.

2.) I check all the doors in my house to make sure they are locked every time I wake up during the night. I know they are locked but I still have to check. I am just paranoid.

3.) I always thought I would have four kids and would be a stay at home mom and a house wife. That’s what I thought my life would be like, and yet in my head I always thought I would have some kind of exciting career. I have been married for 11 years to a wonderful man, and have always worked thru our marriage. I have one beautiful daughter and I am pretty sure I am done. I am not saying that I won’t ever have anymore, but I am pretty sure that CarLee will be an only child. I sometimes feel as if I am too selfish to have another child. I adore CarLee and love spending time with her and being with her.

4.) I am straight up weird. I laugh at jokes that I don’t get, just so I don’t feel left out. I make jokes that no one else gets. The more sarcastic you are the better I am going to like you and not know how to take you.

5.) I loved Buffy and if you called while it was on, I would answer the phone and hang up on you. I loved the short lived show Firefly, and the movie that followed Serenity. I was also addicted to Jericho and Happer’s Island.

6.) I am now addicted to reading blogs. I love them and I love to get a glimpse into other people’s lives! I am really addicted to creative blogs. I want to be that creative. I am trying to be that creative. It’s my new goal.

7.) I really want to learn how to play the fiddle. I don’t know why, but I do. I would settle for the piano, but really want to play the fiddle. How am I going to do that?

8.) I have recently decided that I won’t ever be a full time photographer, but can make a little extra money at it and enjoy my hobby to the fullest.

9.) Lately I have been thinking about drinking. This is the one thing that scares me. Alcoholism runs in my family. I don’t know why this is now becoming a problem for me. I am not drinking, but just thinking about it. When I go to the store I think about buying something but I stop myself. This is very scary to me.

time savers??? not really


I read an article in real simple magazine in the April 2010. The article was about 10 modern time savers that really aren’t. I found the article to be very interesting and at least partly true for me. I did discover that some of the items have never even touched my life. Their list reads:
1. DVR
2. Interstate System
3. Commuter Flight
4. Digital Camera
5. Coffeemaker
6. Electric Shaver
7. Online Grocery Shopping
8. E-Mail
9. Computerized Call Centers
10. Roomba Cleaning Robot

1.) The DVR is supposed to be a time saver? Really it made it so much easier for me to watch TV now. I used to have to pick which shows to watch or stay up late or tape stuff onto VHS (which is super hard to do now, that VCRs are becoming extinct). I can now watch just about whatever I want to. I can also record a whole series and wait to watch all of the episodes at one time! I can also make plans and not have to worry about what is coming on TV. I love to watch TV so this is like a dream invention for my life. It may not save me time, but I sure enjoy it.
2.) Interstate System this is something else that I had not known was considered to be a time saver. It gets clogged up all the time.
3.) Commuter flight so does not affect me.
4.) Digital Camera I do not think this time saver saves me time either. I am always taking pictures now. I don’t even know if get to enjoy the moment like I want to, but I do enjoy the moment, because I enjoy taking pictures. I spend time taking pictures, deleting pictures, looking at them and editing them. So this does not save me time, it takes up more of my time!
5.) Coffeemaker I do not have one. I may drink a cup every now and then.
6.) Electric Shaver I have never used one.
7.) Online Grocery Shopping. What there is such a thing?
8.) E-mail, this is in no way a time saver. I check my email all the time.
9.) Computerized Call Center, well they just be banned.
10.)Roomba Cleaning Robot I have heard of it. I just have a problem with a robot being loose in my house.

Okay so maybe this was a little random and a little weird, but hey its my blog!

Random stuff....

I meant to post this last week.. and well it never got done.

I finished reading the Twilight Series. I read all 4 books in 5 days. They were good books and I still find myself thinking about them now that they are over. I am also looking forward to seeing the third movie Eclipse. I did enjoy reading them, but am still wondering why everyone is obsessed with the books and with Edward. I guess I will have to keep wondering because no one will explain it to me.

We took CarLee to ride on a horse for her birthday. It was nothing exciting just us handing leading her and the horse. I think she enjoyed it, but I also think my girl kid is pretty smart. I think she realized that there was something more to the horse back riding thing. I guess we will have to take her again soon.

I had Monday the 29th off from work, (had a migraine) and cleaned up and cleaned out her room. We are going to have a yard sale this upcoming weekend. I am shooting to make enough to pay for her day care and maybe rejoin the gym. I really need to exercise.

March 30th 2010 I received notice that I had 30 days left on my job. So as of April 30th, I will no longer have a job. So I will get to start job hunting and interview again. How very exciting for me? Wish me luck and if you hear of anything please let me know!

I watched a movie on the Lifetime Movie Network called Amish Grace. This movie was so awesome. It was based on a true story. A man went in to an Amish school house and shot and killed some students. I think I cried for most of the movie. It was about FAITH and forgiveness. I was really moved by this movie.

Air Conditioner Update- it is fixed.

Saturday was Easter in Lake City we had a good time. I will post pictures again as soon as I have them edited.

Sunday Me and Girl kid went to church. It was an awesome service. I realized that I need to live my life like the Resurrection MATTERS.
