Life is changing constantly. {insert eye-rolling smiley here} Everyone knows I don’t necessarily like change right when it happens. I must adapt.
I need to take a Time Out for myself. I no longer have a boyfriend (our relationship lasted 1 year 5 months). As my sister-in-law put it, I need to take a time out from dating to find myself and take better care of myself. And that’s what I think I’ll do. I want to be able to focus on my job better, work harder on my websites so they can earn more money for me, work on making more Cards to show on my website and possibly start selling online, create more crafts that I love, do some home improving, and learn more about SEO altogether.
My blog has been neglected lately. I’ve been needing a design change for a couple months now and haven’t gotten around to it yet. I also need to focus on losing weight. I’m tired of growing in sizes and feeling out of breath. So it’s time to get motivated!
Also, I read from Jenny Blake’s Life After College about a book she recently read. I found some great quotes to implement into my life from her notes.
“Everything that happens to me is the best possible thing that can happen to me.”
“Every day is a good day.” – Ummon
I think I need a blog makeover.
I’m just realizing it’s not very easy to navigate through my archives! This needs to be fixed ASAP! Either I need a new template (which I’m growing tired of the green and red contrast) or I need to tweak things a bit so it’s more user-friendly.
I’d like to ask my readers, the few, the proud…What do you think of my blog look? Do you like the bold greens and reds? Did I overdo it with Ads?? Are there things that have become pet peeves of yours?
Constructive criticism is what I’m asking for. Please don’t bash me down, as nobody likes to hear that. I can be sensitive but I do want to know what would be best for readers. And if you don’t feel like you want to either comment or email me your suggestions, that’s fine, I have some ideas in mind already of what needs to be fixed – like when you hover over a link and the words turn white, that’s gotta go!
And last, I’d like to thank you for reading my journal blog and any and all comments you have made to this day. It helps me feel validated as a human being in this world. Thank you all.
I need to be packing for my short trip to Arizona but I keep finding things to avoid it with. I’m occupying my time missing a little puppy I had the pleasure of playing with last weekend.
She’s a 6 week old yellow lab who still creates “accidents” inside the house. She has tons of wrinkles and is completely S.O.F.T!! I wanted to steal her and take her home with me.
She’s a new addition to Butch’s cousin’s family and I believe they will name her Tazra (not sure on spelling).
Isn’t she adorable?! I love this bag of fur!!
And see? I successfully took your thoughts away from my self-proclaimed middle name. I am being productive, laundry, printing boarding passes, dinner, got suitcase down and ready, but for some reason I just avoid the act of packing. Probably because I know it’s never done the night before, since women always need their things in the mornings anyway. So why pack them now when I’ll need them in 10 hours? The packing is never done. Alright, time to get started.
There, I’ve said it. Now I’m held accountable. Ciao!
My parents found this newspaper article recently about my grandfather, Doran Peterson. He was an honorable and self-less man. He passed away in December of 1993. I still remember his funeral.
My Grandfather
I’m getting lonely these days. I’d REALLY love to get a puppy or a kitten to keep me company. Since Butch moved away to Wendover for work, I feel very alone in my basement and wish my upstairs neighbors weren’t allergic to cat hair. It seems these days almost everyone has a new puppy to show off or get to brag about.
I do have Olly – my Winter White Dwarf Hamster – but he’s so little and hides all day. He’s nocturnal so he comes out at night while I’m asleep and the room is dark. I hear his little wheel spinning all night long and his water bottle sometimes.
I need an animal to cuddle with and pet. Even if it were a neighbor kitty that came around a lot, I’d love to “adopt” one. Anyway, I’ve never owned or raised any dogs so it would be a first for me to have one but I think I’m ready for the opportunity.
I guess mostly, I miss my childhood beautiful cat, Princess. She passed away years ago from a dog chasing her and she couldn’t jump the fence soon enough to get away from his bite. Princess knew when I was feeling sad and would come around and sit next to me just to be near. She didn’t mind if I didn’t pet her while I was crying, she just knew I needed company. She was like my best friend. And I miss the babies she brought into this world as well.
So I found this new social site that you earn money for referring people to. Check it out…She Told Me. Also I’m entering this contest for it and it ends October 1st, 2009.
With SheToldMe.com, you insert your AdSense ID # and can earn money from ads, I think. Anyway, I’ll probably do a review after a while of trying this out. I’ll let you know if it’s worth the time you put into it. Or, you can just sign up now!
