Learning the Guitar

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 23:53:59 -0500

A few years ago I tried to teach myself how to learn the guitar using tutorials and a guitar chord chart. Unfortunately it never really worked out and my fingers just never got accostumed to playing the guitar so I ended up having a guitar that never gets played. Maybe one day I will seek out a professional to teach me how to play but until then, I’ll just have to listen to other guitars.

I Wish I Had Known

Wed, 25 Jan 2012 00:47:46 -0500

When i was younger, I had no idea about insurance or really how anything worked. I was to put it bluntly, quite naive so when I turned 18, I didn’t realize that I had no insurance and didn’t really have a way to pay for medical help. Because of this I ended up racking up a debt from a hospital bill and to this day I wish I had educated myself better. I vow that if I have children I will give them the ins and outs of how the world works so they can be better prepared as adults. I wish my parents had done that for me.

GPS is All the Rage

Wed, 25 Jan 2012 00:44:24 -0500

Ever since GPSes hit the market, they are all the range. You have your choice of tom tom gps systems or some non-namebrand system that would probably cost a little less. The one thing I love about Tom Tom is the ability to download voices for your unit. They have anything from a British accent to Mr. T— it’s pretty dang cool!

A New Projector?

Tue, 17 Jan 2012 21:04:54 -0500

When I first met Robby I was impressed by the projector that he owned. I thought it was pretty neat and creative for Robby to use a projector as a monitor and a TV. We’ve had that projector for awhile now and are considering upgrading to a samsung projector but we’re not sure if that’s wise. Has anyone every had a samsung projector? Thoughts?

Sunglasses It Is!

Tue, 17 Jan 2012 20:55:24 -0500

Last Christmas I was trying to replace my wallet because it’s pretty beaten and worn down. Unfortunately the Chanel wallet I wanted was not available and I couldn’t find it anywhere else. Instead to appease Robby I just settled for some gucci sunglasses. Hopefully, I’ll be able to find the wallet that I want but we’ll see.

Wonder where that came from?

Sun, 27 Nov 2011 16:13:38 -0500

Sometimes I get to thinking about where certain ideas come from. Like for instance nursing uniforms and how they have changed so drastically from what they once were. Marcus nursing uniforms seem to be the standard uniforms found in most medical institutions but in the old days it was different. I wonder why the change? Anyone know?

What's the deal with long eyelashes?

Sun, 27 Nov 2011 16:10:14 -0500

I have always been told that I have long eyelashes and people are jealous about the length— which I don’t understand because they’re just eyelashes, lol. Apparently people try eyelash growth products to see if that helps. Personally I don’t understand why long eyelashes = beauty. Anyone else?

Glad I Don't Have to Worry

Sun, 13 Nov 2011 20:06:22 -0500

Years ago, I used to be one of those girls who was OVERLY concerned about what to get my boyfriend for the holidays. I suppose it’s some time of ritual when you’re in a long term relationship to stress about the perfect gift to give. From jewelry to monogrammed boyfriend gifts, it’s something that most girls have to experience. All I have to say is that I’m so glad that I don’t have to worry about that anymore! PHEW!

Our Own Business?

Mon, 07 Nov 2011 00:02:31 -0500

Despite the fact that Robby never says it, I know that he’s always been interested in owning his own business but understands that there are a lot of costs associated with it such as a small business equipment lease depending on what we get into. The one thing he’s always been interested in is cooking so it would entail a lot of equipment as he’d want to run his own restaurant. THe problem? 90% of business fail within the first year and this is probably what’s stopping him and really— who could blame him?

Job Hunting

Sun, 06 Nov 2011 23:59:46 -0500

Recently, I haven’t been particularly happy with my position. There’s just a lot that has been going on that has me considering a different field, perhaps licensed nurse jobs, only because the completion time versus other jobs shouldn’t take that long. The only issue I will run into however is that I’m kind of squeamish when it comes to blood so I suppose I shall have see how that turns out. Wish me luck?

Do you ever wonder how much people spend on rentals alone? I mean think about it; there are so many individuals who go out on business trips or vacations and they have to either rent a vehicle or are stuck walking. Then there’s the concept of tux rentals and rent to own furniture! It’s crazy just how much this society offers as rentals. What do you think?

I Love Coupons!

Tue, 11 Oct 2011 23:10:07 -0400

Ever since this whole extreme couponing trend hit the air, I have been stockpiling a coupon collection that I can use to hopefully save us a lot of money. I’m still trying to nail down the best way to go about buying things but for the most part I have the organization and the clipping down to a tee.

The first thing I want to do is try to never have to pay for body wash, shampoo, razor, or anything in that family every again. After that I’d like to save enough money from couponing to purchase iPad for Robby and I. Once I have hit that goal, I plan on moving on to clothing and trying to see if I can get things like wet seal coupons. Wish me luck!

Blessings of my first frost on you

Blessings of the goose-stitched sky

Blessings of the trees in sunset glory

And warm hearths at the end of the day.

Blessings of the harvest set before you

Blessings of the food that comfort brings

Blessings on the fire that stays within you

Blessings on the fire that cannot stay.

Ugh, I Hate Batteries!

Wed, 21 Sep 2011 22:41:46 -0400

But I love them. We seriously have a love hate relationship because I love how convenient they make things but hate that they have to be replaced. I also have a preference for battery type. I prefer AA batteries but recently we have had a need for AAA batteries so I’m really considering looking into AAA rechargeable batteries.

Do you have a preference for batteries? If so what and why?

The Only Trophy I Ever Won

Wed, 21 Sep 2011 22:34:36 -0400

When I was younger, I admit that I was pretty competitive with my older sister. She was in numerous smarts and would often won several trophies and I felt like I had to prove myself to her and to my family— particularly my father.

When I was in junior high I managed to earn a trophy for best defensive player on our basketball team and I so ecstatic. It really made me proud because it proved that I could do it.

What’s the proudest moment of your life?
