It’s no secret that I gained a lot of weight with my pregnancy that I have not yet lost. I’ve started on the path and I have been slowly losing bits of the weight here and there, whether I will ever be back below 200 pounds in weight often seems impossible to predict. I’ve looked [...]

I wanted to wish everyone in “internet land” who is celebrating today a Happy Thanksgiving before I abdicate the computer for the day to participate in festivities. I’m also happy to announce that I have managed to complete my goal for NaNoWriMo. I completed last night, but have been writing more today before submitting the [...]

I neglected to do my Self Portrait Sunday again yesterday but I have a better reason than lacking system memory on the computer. Roomie and I were out of town at a friend’s Handfasting. In fact I was conducting the service. It meant being up and on the road before 10 a.m. and we didn’t [...]

In the past when we’ve been short on cash I’ve sold things on eBay. It’s a big hassle, because a lot of the time the items I had listed wouldn’t sell within the 9 day limit and I’d be catching fees for nothing, or the item would sell for a pitiful amount that wasn’t worth [...]

Here we go again! I’ve been trying to post and do some things on and off all day but instead I’ve been cleaning off the computer memory. We really need a better system than this. The computer even shut off it’s system restore because the viable memory was too small. I know it’s partially my [...]

We’re at the point where we’re not doing good. I’m feeling worse and worse about the financial situation. I’d figured by October we’d start coming out of the woods. My husband would get a raise, he would have his longevity bonus and right now we’d be sitting pretty having paid off the outstanding medical bills, [...]

I know things have been quiet for a few days I’ve been busy turning in applications, trying to get my hair to take to normal dye, and finding more suitable office/professional clothes. Things that I can wear to potential interviews. I found out yesterday that I have an interview tomorrow, so I’m also trying to [...]

I’ve used Special Effects hair dye for so long I’d forgotten about the potential for hair dye to have an allergic reaction. Special Effects is a natural ingredient based hair dye and so has less potential for allergies. When I decided to dye my hair black I had picked up some L’Oreal cream hair dye [...]

To my multi-colored hair. I figure that if I want to make a good impression on prospective bosses I need to tone down my hair a bit. I can be the best applicant EVER; but in our area in particular my appearance at an interview with rainbow hair will probably make people start to consider [...]

I have to say that I’m definitely happy to see the election results. I couldn’t stay up to see the end but it seemed according to the CNN polls that Obama was going to win, and from what I see of his speech from last night he has indeed won. I have a few friends [...]
