Beds

For as long as I can remember my Mom has talked about wanting one of those adjustable beds. Actually the other day she said she is having to sleep propped up on a wedge to help her sleep. So, I know it's not just a want for her, it's an actual need. They got a new bed a few years ago & I'm not sure why they didn't get an adjustable bed then. But I bet she regrets it now.

Not Moving

Well.....We are not moving to Tennessee after all. D lost his job. Not sure what the future hold for us at this point. Life is mixed up & so are my emotions.

Insurance

I have several family members who have had to use SSDI benefits. I don't know how they would have made it without those benefits. Insurance is such a blessing & if you have it you shouldn't take it for granted. We are without insurance right now & I have been dealing with some health issues. I just kept putting off going to the doctor, then I ended up in the ER. Thankfully, I got the care I needed.

Milk

Since I have not had any babies this is not a concern I have ever had. But I do have friends that needed to increase breast milk since they were breast feeding their babies. If & when I am able to get pregnant, I do plan on breast feeding. But I do know you can "plan" all you want to, but life some times has other ideas how things will work out.

Dark Circles

Do you know how to get rid of dark circles under my eyes? I don't know how to get rid of them, but I do know how to cover them up. I learned some tricks back in the "make-up days." I miss those days from time to time. I wonder how far I would have gone in that career if we had stayed in LA. I would have loved to have become a freelance artist.

Naturally Clear

Nowadays there is so much over processed, chemically enhanced stuff, it's nice when you can find things that are all natural or organic. Even natural acne remedies. Skin on your face is so sensitive to begin with, the last thing you want to do it pack a bunch of harsh things on there. I know there are times people are desperate for ance relief, but to be able to have clear skin naturally is best.

Valentine's Day

I made this for D for LOVE day.

HTC HD7

I got a new phone back before Christmas & I wanted a HTC HD7 sooooo badly, but I wans't able too. Have you seen these things? Oh me! Oh my! I love that there is a kickstand so you can watch TV/movies. How fun is that! I am also digging the fabulous camcorder.Maybe, just maybe I can upgrade this year.

Memory

I take so many photos that it doesn't take long before it consumes my computer & makes it run too slow. I really need to invest in some more computer memory. Thankfully D has his own laptop now & I got to remove some of the things he had installed on mine. That helped a ton. Plus I saved my photos & put them in the fire proof box.

Merchandiser

Most of my working days I spent in retail. I loved it for the most part. And one of my most favorite parts were doing the window displays & dressing the mannequins. I learned to be a good merchandiser from a very early age. My parents owned a gas station & my Mom taught me how to display things. One of my jobs were going up & down the aisle at night & making sure all of the products were facing out.

2 Fellas

My 2 little fellas! They make me smile. :)

Jobs

Back in November D lost his job. And it was out of the blue. He immediately search through jobs online. But thankfully he made a phone call to a friend & that friend referred him to a place in need of someone with D's skills in the sound industry. The catch...A move to Memphis. He is now on his 6th week of commuting. While I am home packing & looking online for homes. Hopefully we will know something on a house this week & the BIG move will officially happen.

Get the pounds off

I have gained so much weight in the last year. Blah. And right now I am in the midst of so much emotional eating, with the move to Memphis & all the changes going on around me that are out of my control. I want to lose some weight, but there is no way I could even begin to focus on that. But once we get moved & settled I will be look a     diet pill review for sure. I am going to need all of the help I can get.

Award Season

Awards season is coming up. I just love seeing all of the dresses. I think I like to see the worst dressed list, more than the best. I know those ladies in Hollywood know of a crash diet that works, to fit into those new frocks. Please they want to be in tip tip shape for the thousands of photos that was taken during this time of the year. I can not imagine being set up for that kind of scrutiny these people are under on a daily bases.

War Eagle!

This is how Rocco & I watched the National Championship. That is until I was jumping up & down yelling at the TV. Our team won!!!! War Eagle!

The Great Snow 2011

Tomorrow we are expecting a "great" snow storm here in Alabama. If you know anything about Alabama weather, than you it does not snow here very often. So, when the weather men say "snow" there is a frenzy. The grocery stores are wiped clean of food & safety goods. And every generator in town including the honda generator eu2000i are sold out! This is serious business in these parts. You should see the isles at the grocery store tonight. There is nothing left.

Remodels

I have been searching & searching the internet for a home for us. Some have been so cute. Then there are the ones that are horrendous. They need to be remodeled completely. Especially the bathrooms, which need a new toilet, bath vanity & tub. I am honestly not that picky. If I were, I wouldn't be living where I do now. Haha! But I want a home to be nice.

A new year

Life is changing a lot right now. We made it through the Holidays. My house is now half packed up. D is commuting for work. We are looking for a place to live. And my head is swirling as my heart is breaking. Welcome 2011.
