Not weather-wise of course. Weather wise it is sunny with a few clouds, rather nice considering it has rained a lot lately here in my little corner of the world. It is still cool probably cold, but the sun is shining and while it did snow here a little bit the other day, and yes it stuck for a while on the cars and such, it is rather nice today I think. It is me that is blah. I woke up in a

This novel by Susan Meissner is set in Virginia for the most part. It switches between present time and the 1860’s. I really enjoyed this book because it has it all, romance, loss, perceived betrayal, and redemption. In this book, we see Marielle Bishop, who falls in love with Carter over the internet and on the phone. A very modern way to meet. Marielle is from Phoenix originally and Carter is

Since my last entry, Doug talked to Nancy in the office of our building and has since written a letter to the management company to get permission to be able to get DirectTV in here. I honestly do not know how one company can have a monopoly on cable in one building, I do understand having a preferred provider and all, but not letting other cable companies in at all, it seems wrong somehow and I

I suppose that this might become kind of a rant, so if you don’t want to read it all, I am okay with that. In my apartment building, they only have Comcast cable, I think I mentioned that before. Now, I have had a lot of issues with Comcast over the last year and little bit that we have lived here. So last night in the grocery fliers, there was a thing for DirectTV. Which we had at the house at

There have been a great many changes in my life in the last couple of months and all of them good, I think. I gave up cable for now. With rabbit ears on my TV I still get CBS which is where most of my programs are in the first place. The only channel I can not get right now, is ABC, which is Castle on Monday nights, but I can watch that online. Actually, I will most likely wait and get the season

I know I have not written in a while and well, life happened all at once I suppose. Thanksgiving was good, it was just the two of us and so it was quiet. Although Doug asked his sister over for dessert with out telling me and I got mad about that. His excuse was that he thought I would say no. It is not that I would say no, I would have said yes, had he asked me or even discussed it with me.

So last night while I was sitting in the bathtub reading, I realized that I had a closet full of clothes that I can not wear or do not like for the most part. So, after having gotten out of the tub and got dressed, I went in and started to clean out my closet. I would say that 90% of the stuff that was in there was too small for me. So, I have it all in a pile waiting on Doug’s sister to come

I forgot to mention my final grade for my Skills for Success class, which was an A. I got an A on on my final project and so I was happy. I have started Interpersonal Effectiveness, which  looks to be another class I can get an A in with no problem. Today is Sunday and I am relaxing for the most part. Church was good this morning and because it was friends and family day at my church, it was

I normally really like Karen Kingsbury’s writing and love her books, however, in this instance, I could not make it all the way through this trilogy. I could not make it through the first book in this all-in-one-three book set. I am not quite sure why I could not actually read this. It seemed like a story that I would have loved. The first part of book one was talking about how Hannah Ryan loses

My class ended yesterday and today I start a new class. I am waiting for the grade on my final project, I am hoping to keep my 100% in that class. I am applying for a scholarship and I would like to have only A’s and B’s on my transcripts when it is time to send my application. That is my goal. I was up checking out my new class and I thought I would stop by and do an entry now that I have some

So this is week 5 of my class that I am in. I am now working on my final project for class and it is going well so far. I have to do a Power Point for this and while I do not hate them, but they sure are a ton of work!! More so than me sitting down and writing a paper for class. Having said all that, I do have to admit that I still have my 100% going in this class and now I am so nervous because

I know that I have not posted since Thursday, well that is because I took a couple days to deal with the aftermath of the situation I wrote about on Thursday. The cell number is changed and so far everything is quiet, which is good. However, after being subjected to almost endless phone calls and texts for three days, it seems eerily quiet to me. I have not really gone anywhere yet since all

Since Monday I have been subjected to stalker like behavior from someone that I threw out of my life. I have let it go for the last few days hoping that this person would burn out and get bored with talking to my voicemail. Sadly this is not the case. Yesterday he stopped calling and I thought it was done, but today I got text messages from this person that rattled me so much that I called the

In the last few days I have been dealing with something that I honestly was not going to even mention here. Although it is over as of yesterday and this will be the last mention of it, I need to get my feelings out of my head so I can let go of it for once and for all. A friend of mine from the bad old days in Florida, had been in my life for a while and we had been talking and stuff. We had a

I just realized that it has been a while since I last wrote here. I got caught up in school and some days there just is not time enough in the day to get here too. Speaking of school, it is going very well and I have a 100% in my class currently. Which makes me really happy. It seems that October has flown by and November is right on the horizon. The weather has been great lately and nice and

Yesterday was my birthday and overall I had a great day. Got my new phone and it is great so far! Went to Red Lobster for dinner, it was wonderful. I enjoyed the quiet day and I did not do very much at all, which was nice. School so far is great and I am all caught up with class. Actually, I am ahead of the game so far. I have an A in this class and on Monday I am moving into week 3 of my 5

Not out of the apartment or anything, but we moved the computer desk to make room for the table and chairs we got last February. I am pretty sure that there is another entry some place in this blog about it. Finally decided to move the computer desk to another area, Home Depot is supposed to put the table and chairs together tomorrow. After he gets it together and I get stuff set up, I will take

School is going well. So well that I got a 100% on my first  paper in class. Yay me! I have all my assignments and reading done for this week. My Discussion Question is not due until Thursday which happens to be my birthday as well. My goal for this week was to get my assignment due on my birthday done and posted before that. So I can take Thursday off. I am going to Red Lobster for dinner that

I missed church today because when I woke up my back hurt badly and I am  not saying that the pews are not comfortable, but I could hardly sit up on the side of the bed. I knew I would be very uncomfortable and would not concentrate on the message well, so I did not go. I am going to read my bible later. I also woke up very tired today with a headache. Ugh. The weather is nice again and cool.

My 37th birthday is next Thursday. I am still not sure how I feel about it. I usually get a ton of birthday emails from places where I have joined their email clubs and such. More than I can  honestly use every year. Most of them only give you seven days from your birthday to use them and they don’t send them out until the week of your birthday or so. Well, Bennigans sent my free birthday salad,

I started school on Tuesday and so far it is good. I am enjoying being back in class and I am remembering what annoyed me so much from before. Nothing I can really do about the annoyances, so I will just go with  it for now. Get through this class and I will be okay. The class I am in now, everyone who goes to this school has to take it, so I am in class with people not in my degree program and

This is my first Gayle Roper book and I have to say that I was easily drawn into the story and characters. She writes really well and creates characters that are totally believable. I found myself rooting for Carrie and Greg from almost the beginning of the book. There are some twists and turns in the story and that is the hard part about reviewing mystery books, not giving those away! Set in a

This Sunday finds me at peace, just as I like. I am tired today but that was because I was up late and had to get up early for church. I have not had a nap, but since it is 6pm, don’t think I will get one either. *sigh* I have not been blogging a lot lately because I have been trying to get things in order for school to start on Tuesday. Today in church Pastor Jeff preached on why as Christians

The weather here in my little corner of Michigan has been rather bipolar lately. What I mean by that is during the day lately I have had to have the air conditioning on because it is warm outside. Because I live on the eighth floor of a building and the scientific principal of heat rises comes into play, it can be 10-15 degrees warmer where I live than at ground level. So taking this into account

This blog entry is about something that I have been thinking about for a while, but never really did. In life, I know that some people will be in your life always and that some people float in and out. I don’t have a problem with that. I have a problem when someone who says they are there forever, decides that they are more important than you or anything else. Let me back up a bit, I had a

Today at church, I got an unexpected question asked of me. I have been going to this church for a bit, more than a handful of times. This morning while waiting for the services to start, I was chatting with Pastor Jeff. He asked me if I wanted to take a new member class at the church. Honestly, I had not really thought about becoming a member of the church, but I said yes and asked when it was.

I can not believe it is October 1st already!! The weather is great though, it is cool bordering on cold with a nice breeze that sends a nice flow of cool air through the windows of the apartment. I love it because I can have the windows open all the time now and just close them as much or as little as needed. Sure is a wonderful break from summer!!! Earlier they did a test of the tornado siren.

The last week, okay week and half I have had the worst PMS I have ever had in my life. I have been so over emotional and going between sad and angry at the drop of a hat. So I thought that if I just kept to myself, I would spare the people I care about, dealing with me and this. I am not ignoring anyone. I don’t mean to make people think that I am ignoring them or want anything to do with them.

Today I got more good news from school. It seems that my 70% in the English placement test was good enough for me to test out of English Review I. However, since I had already had an English class and gotten an A, that let me get out of the English Review II class. So, that made me happy this morning or actually this afternoon as it were. Today I am trying to test out of my Composition class.

Today I took placement tests in English and math. I took these to hopefully test out of a couple of my classes. This will save me both time and money in the long run. I got a 90% on my math placement test and a 70% on the English. I actually had thought that it would be the other way around though. The English test was tough because it tested on everything in English as well as APA formatting

I want to begin by saying that this is my first ever Andy Stanley book. I have seen him on Joyce Meyer’s television show a couple of times and he seemed interesting enough. Sometimes, I make the mistake of thinking that if the person is a good speaker they are a good writer and I have found that is not the case with many. Andy Stanley is one of the few exceptions to that. He is so very personable

I meant to mention it in my earlier post, but did not know the outcome for sure and now that I do, I can write about it. For most of my long time readers, you know what happened when Home Depot’s dad died last summer and how I was muzzled due to a threat to put me in jail because I was writing about the TRUTH that was happening at the time. I even had people sitting on my blog to monitor what I

According to my Blogger dashboard today is my 300th post in this blog. Oh, where has the time gone? I remember when I was just starting this blog because I really missed public blogging. So much has happened in my life since that day. Sometimes I like going back to the first post of my blog and re reading it. You can find that first post here. It seems like a lifetime ago that I started here but

Today I went to church and heard the most amazing family testimonial. Truly inspiring for sure! It really made me feel like my issues last week were so trivial. It really put things into perspective for me. Which I needed desperately. Today was a very restful day for me and I needed that for sure. I get stressed out sometimes just by stuff building up in my life and it is hard sometimes for me

So I decided to try a new commenting system on this blog. Simply because it gives me a lot more control of my comments. So I have a favor to ask of my readers, if you could just comment on this post so I can be sure that it is installed correctly. Thanks! I have been rather anti-social as of late. Mainly because I just have not really had it in me to deal with others. I wanted to take some time

Last night was the season premiere of NCIS, NCIS:LA, and Unforgettable. NCIS was amazing!! I am so looking forward to the rest of this season!! NCIS:LA was awesome as well, but as it answered questions, it left more as well. I am so into this season already because I want to know more!! Unforgettable is Poppy Montgomery’s (formerly of Without A Trace) new show and it has a pretty interesting

I am so thrilled because my fall t.v shows are back. Last night was the season premiere of Castle. It was good because I was worried about Kate and I could not wait to see what happened between Kate and Richard! It was a great season premiere and a great way to start my week off! There is also a new Richard Castle book coming out September 20th. I am looking forward to that. Tonight is NCIS and

Today seems so different from last week. Well, that is because things are different from last week! To begin with, I went to church this morning and it was so uplifting and it made me feel so good I was wondering why I stopped going before. I have no real answer for that. Which kinds of bothers me a little bit. The phone thing is fixed and I am happy about that more than I should be probably.

I admit that I hate summer. Living in Florida it was so hot that you would melt right where you stood if you were not careful. Here in Michigan, the summers before this one were not too bad, considering that I am from Florida and that deep in the South it can get to be 102 in the shade during the summers. However, we reached 100 degrees this summer here in Michigan. That my dear readers, is too

I have been just doing other things lately. Not hiding. Reading mostly. I did something to my right shoulder and it hurts really bad. I am not sure what I did or exactly when I did it, but all I know is that my shoulder hurts sometimes so bad I cry when I have to lift my arm a certain height. So, I have been dealing with that, which is not fun by any definition of the word. I just haven’t really

I was going to do this post earlier, but decided to hold off until after midnight. On the 11th, I have a month until school starts back and honestly I am so thrilled with that. I am beyond ready I think. Although it might take me a few days to get back into the swing of things. I somehow screwed up my blog, so if you are wondering what happened, I had to use a Blogger theme until I can figure

Since Sunday is the 10th anniversary of 9/11 I thought I would do an entry early. Usually I do a  post about someone who perished on 9/11. This year I am doing this differently. This year I am going to talk about my feelings about 9/11, then and now. I remember it like it was yesterday. 9/11 changed my life in so many ways. Personally, it devastated me. I had a very difficult time getting past

I have been quiet lately on this blog because honestly I have not really had anything good to talk about. I could talk about all the issues going on, but as I am not really sure if there are trolls lurking around or not, I would rather not get into that here. I am hoping to have my cell back on by next Tuesday. So if you have been trying to call or text, sorry about that.

Today I made a Craigslist account and posted my first for sale thing. I have The Simpson’s seasons 1-7 and 9. No one watches them, so I am offering them for $15 each. Hopefully I will get a nibble soon. I will let you know what happens.

Today I accidentally found out that Comcast did not remove the internet services from my account. You will remember that back in July I switched my internet and phone to AT&T. When I switched AT&T told me that when I switched, they would contact Comcast and have them disconnect the phone and internet. Now, I have no idea if AT&T did not contact Comcast. Although the phone was removed from the

So this morning, I found a comment that my friend Ben left on my  entry about Monkey Bread on my food blog, and he said Thanks for posting this, Tawnya! I wasn't familiar with monkey bread and now you're the second person to mention it this morning. Sounds like some great cosmic hint that I'm supposed to make monkey bread! To his comment, I say, you are very welcome Ben, the cosmos has spoken. Go

I honestly have never had monkey bread but I found a recipe on one of my favorite websites for recipes ( to see the recipe go to my food blog here). So, I printed it out and thought I would save it. Well, I got sick and had to wait. Thinking that I was feeling better today, I decided to make it. ( There will be pictures on my food blog, so check them out!) I will post a pic of the final product

Home Depot ( not my nickname for him, but since I don’t want certain people knowing everything about me, I had to make up a nickname for him) has been trying to figure out what an MP3ga is . I had never heard of it before and never encountered it anywhere before. Apparently this website that he downloads podcasts for his MP3 player on recently switched to this format without saying anything to

First off, I want to talk about the new Blogger interface. I like how clean looking it is. I love how uncluttered it is. But for me the one drawback is that it is confusing as heck! I am usually pretty good with new things and I normally embrace them. I will continue to use it to see if it gets better. I was thinking that I wanted to update my 32 GB HD Zune. I saw the 64 GB HD Zune and I like

Most of my readers know that I have been sick for like 10 days or so. Not as sick as I normally get, but it has been rough going. Today was the first day that I actually could take a shower and not felt like I was going to fall over and crack my skull on the faucet. So that is a win for me! Yay me! I like to celebrate the little things because it sucks to have to wait for the big things to

I know that I am woefully behind in my movie watching and I just have to say that barring a new James Bond flick coming out, I can wait until the new movies are on Netflix or IN DEMAND. Although, I have to admit that I would not be spending actual money to see these. Which means waiting until they are out on HBO or Stars for the IN DEMAND. Last night I saw Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

So, finally able to eat regular food again, which is nice. I am very over soup for a while. I am feeling better. Not great but better, which is good. This weekend was rough. Got an email from John (kids dad) in Florida. Was not looking forward to reading it, but he was decent. My son’s birthday is Sept. 1st and he was wondering what I was doing. I emailed him back and told him what I had

Today I am feeling better than I have in a while. I can finally swallow again ( no jokes please, I know exactly what it sounds like). They eye leaking thing has stopped. I am not coughing as much as before. I am feeling better and I am hungry!!! So, I am all kinds of happy because this is the first day I have felt this good. Hopefully this trend will continue.

This entry will probably be short and sweet because I am still sick. Not dead, but feels like that would be an alternative to this mess for sure. I have been reading mostly. I have not felt well and only wanted to chat with certain people. I am hoping to feel better by the end of the week. The nights are the worst for me though. I am sleeping a lot,which is good. Gotta go now, ciao!!

Even though I am really sick, I could not let J-Land’s anniversary get by without some kind of entry. If you don’t know what I am talking about, today is the anniversary of AOL Journals or J-Land as we like to call it. Although it does not exist anymore, some of us like to commemorate one of the best places to journal and where most of us got our start journaling. We all have since moved on to

Today is Julie’s mom’s memorial and I could not make it actually for a couple of reasons, but the most pressing one is that I am sick. Really sick. Sigh. I feel bad about not being there and all but I would not go even if I lived in Florida in this condition anyway. I still miss Cindy a lot and think about her everyday. In a way, this was like my own mother dying, only more emotional for me.

So, I ordered all the Harry Potter books (yeah, I know I am a nerd). I have already read the first one and more than half way through the second one. I have read them all but the last one before, but I wanted to re read before I start watching the last 3 movies. As a friend recently said to me ‘the books are always better than the movies’ and he was right. Although honestly I have been trying to

Everyone eventually discovers their own self truths. Not everyone will go looking for them and sooner or later they will smack you in the face and you will have to deal with them. On the same level, everyone realizes when they have to take responsibility for their own life. Now, admittedly not everyone will actually take responsibility for their own life.

Over the weekend, I found out that a friend of mine, A will be moving to California. Not just willy nilly moving as it were, but to accept an amazing opportunity and I am really happy for him. I know that I did not seem like it when I spoke to him, but I was honestly and truly caught off guard. I will miss A a lot and I know that it will be amazing and challenging.

I am doing better, thank you to all of you who have taken the time to leave comments on here and Facebook. Especially those who have taken the time to email or even call me.

This week has been trying for me, I know it is only Wednesday but when you think about how the week began you can see my point here. I have been thinking about Julie’s mom since Monday when she died and I miss her terribly. I know she would not want me to sit around and cry for her all the time, but honestly it is so hard to get moving on. I spoke with Julie on Monday for a bit and it was nice

Julie’s mom has been moved to hospice care and is in good hands. I appreciate everyone who has left comments here and on Facebook for her and her family, as well as for all of us, her friends. I count myself lucky because I have a great many memories of Julie’s mom and I cherish them all. Especially those in which she was there for me in ways that my mom was not.

48 hours. 2 days. 2880 minutes. 172,800 seconds. Not enough time to say good bye. Not enough time to say what I want to say. Not enough time to do anything. Today my best friend’s mom was given 48 hours to live. I can’t help but to think about all the times I have had with this woman. She is like my mom. I love her. I am devastated that I can not be there with her. If anyone out there is of the

When I read the blurb for this book, I was really interested in it. It seemed like an interesting concept to base a book upon. The concept is this, Nick Cominsky is invited to have dinner with a man who says he is Jesus. How many of us have always wanted to sit down with Jesus and ask him questions? I know that I have. So this book caught my attention before I could even open it and read the

Not that I honestly don’t totally slack any other day, I am just willing to admit it today for some reason. I think it is the insane, most unbearable heat that has settled in here in Michigan. It was supposed to reach 100 degrees today. Not really sure if it did or not because face it, I did not want to depress myself with that information. The A/C is still working well, thank God because some

You know in all the tech dealings I have had, they never ever go smoothly. When we lived at the house and we got U-Verse, it was supposed to be an 8 hour thing but ended up being 12 because something went wrong. When we got Comcast here, something went wrong, so it is safe to say that when I was expecting AT&T I figured that something would go horribly wrong. Well, the AT&T tech was here on the

My appointment time with AT&T was for 8-12 and the tech guy was here at 9am. So, my phone has been switched over already and since my DSL is self install I have not gotten my gateway yet. It is on the UPS truck for delivery today. So I am waiting now on UPS. The DSL signal is strong and up and running, so I know I don’t have to worry about that. The tech tested it before he left this morning and

I don’t really have one big post for today, but a lot of little things to mention all at once. My mind is kind of scattered right now and I am not really concentrating well. Sigh. The last couple of days I have slept a lot, which is good considering that I have these nasty nightmares that keep me from sleeping more often than not. So, I am sleeping while I can. In my Blogging for Books program,

For the last couple of days I have had a migraine and it does not seem to want to go away. I thought it had faded enough earlier, but I was wrong because it is back with a vengeance. Ugh. As much as I hate these, I had to admit that I somehow hurt my right shoulder. So it is a double whammy as it were. Yay. The good news is that the A/C is working wonderfully well and it is once again cool in

Facebook for me has at times been a surreal experience, mainly because of the fact that so many people that I have not seen or spoken to in multiple years are there and it is like an online high school reunion at times. Most of the memories are good, some even wonderful. Some not so much. It is not that I am not happy to see these people now and learn about them, it is more that in some cases I

Here Burns My Candle is another novel by Liz Curtis Higgs, a few months ago I reviewed Mine is the Night, which happens to be the novel after this one. As I had read one of her novels again I was happy to see this one because I wanted to know more of the story of the main characters, Bess and Marjory. As it turns out, this book ends as the other begins, so this is not exact the beginning of the

You know, I should learn one thing, that waiting 24 hours can in fact bring great changes. So, the fight that I had with my friend last week? Over. We talked yesterday and things are back to normal, well as normal as my life can actually be without me melting or bursting into flames. That was the most difficult week of my life and honestly I do not want to go through that again. I was totally

This last week has been hell on me and I an trying to shard to get past it. It seems like when I am finally getting to the point that I am okay once again, something reminds me of what I was so sad about and I am sad again. Sigh. I am trying to stay with songs that I know won’t bring me down. Lots of Limp Bizkit and Kid Rock lately. Well, the phone and internet will be switched back to AT&T on

It is no secret, I totally love music and I always have some form of music going. Music is the one thing that soothes my soul, well that and water. I totally love listening to my favorite music when I am down. Lately I have been down. Some songs make me feel down too because there are too many memories attached to them. So, here is a shuffle list of some music on my MP3 player for you.

Today I changed my phone and internet back to AT&T from Comcast. I called on July 5th to find out why my phone and internet went down all of a sudden. My gateway reset itself while I was on the phone with the person from Comcast. Neither one of us reset it. So, he set up an appointment for that morning between 9:30-12:30 just to get the modem replaced. No one showed up or called. I contacted

So, yesterday was a massively bad day for me. Sadly I wish I had stayed in bed and hid under the covers, it probably would have been a far better day for me then. In case, you are wondering, no I have not been to bed yet. I can’t get my brain to shut off and let me relax. See, I made a couple of mistakes yesterday, although one was not made exactly yesterday, but I found out about it yesterday.

So I honestly thought that I would be able to handle a few months or at least a couple off of school. Um, I think I was wrong. Although lately the nightmares have been kicking my ass and sleep has been little and far between. Eh, you know, I am thinking it does not matter all that much anymore. I am constantly tired anyway, so nothing new there. I am missing living on the water right about now.

You know, lately I have not been sleeping really well and having all kinds of nightmares again. Last night I went to bed or should I say this morning and slept until about 3pm. I guess I finally got to the point that I was so tired that no dream would wake me up. Sadly, it is happening a lot lately again. Sigh. So, I have been really tired all the time. Nothing new really, because I have been

When I chose this book, it was not because I actually wanted to read it, it was because it was the only one left on the site for me to choose. I honestly thought that it would turn out like another book I had tried to read and ended up failing to finish. In fact, quite the opposite happened. I got my book a couple of days ago and set it aside, thinking I would start it the next day and well,

You know, the hardest thing about being done with school until October is that now I have all this flippin’ time to deal with!! What to do, what to do?!?! I have already had a request for oatmeal raisin cookies and since I am on vacation as it were, I can’t exactly say no. LOL. So, cookies it is. I was thinking also of maybe working on my pizza recipe. It was good the first time I made it, but I

I was supposed to start school June 28th, but because some of my financial aid has been used for Ashford, for my first term there, I am in a overlapping loan period, basically that means that if I went back to school now, I would not have enough to cover my first term and I would have to pay out of pocket. Since I can not afford that, I have to wait now until September when the new loan period

For some reason this week is really just flying past me! Hopefully only 6 more days until I am back in class. I can not explain how much I am really looking forward to that! I am so excited and ready to go! Even if my first two classes are ‘beginners’ classes. In these classes, they are get acquainted with the interface and how things work classes. Basically I look at these classes as free A

I was up all night last night because I had slept like 15 hours yesterday. Now I am all tired and ready to go to freakin’ sleep now. As for the tax thing, I feel like a total idiot for not thinking about sending that to the desk top. I know I had it printed and I can not find that right now. With moving last September and packing, it honestly could be anywhere. Ugh. So, now I am stuck  waiting

Most of  you know that I recently got a Microsoft Zune Mp3 player and I am still in love with the thing. I know it sounds strange for me to say that, but it is really cool and I love the touch screen. It is 32 GB and I could  honestly fill it maybe 3 or 4 times with music that I love. Yeah, I love a lot of music. Speaking of my Zune, I lost the USB cable that came with it, but it is okay

So, my admissions advisor at my Plan B school talked me into starting school on June 28th instead of July 5th. Mainly for financial aid reasons and it all made sense to me when it was explained to me, so I agreed to start earlier than I had planned. Today is 4 weeks since my appeal started and I still have not heard anything at all. So it seems that I got my answer. Plan B turned into Plan A

If you have followed my blog or are friends with me on Facebook, you might remember last year at this time we had no power as well. It was a horrible weekend all the way around.

I am thinking about what I will make for dinner later today. Maybe fried chicken or chicken fried steak. It depends on how I feel later. I love to cook, so these days are fun for me. I am hoping that I get some sleep later or guess what? I won’t be making anything! LOL I am so relived now that I have this school thing taken care of. It had been bothering me for a while and I was worried. But

Today I got an offer of admissions from my Plan B school and I am going to take it. I feel like I have given the other school more than enough time to get back to me about my appeal and even the person who was supposed to look into it and call me back by Wednesday, did not call. So, honestly I am looking at it like there is my answer right there. I like the Plan B school anyway and everyone

It would seem that I am climbing back to the top where I once was. I got a call today from my Plan B school and the financial aid is coming along nicely, I should be hearing from someone tomorrow and if not from my guy on Monday. I also talked to the academic person who I will be working with at Plan B school today. She and I have a lot in common, down to she is looking for a Masters program in

Hopefully this turns into  great news! I found a school that has Master’s programs in both forensic and sports psychology. I am excited about this find because most schools have one or the other, not both. I am still waiting to hear about my appeal but have a Plan B in the works and honestly if Plan B comes before my appeal, well, I am going with Plan B then. That is just how I am I guess. The

Well it would seem that I was mistaken about the dining room table being put together the other weekend. It still resides in it’s box against the wall where it has been since February when we bought it. This is frustrating for me. In so many ways. The heat here has really been messing with my migraines. I have had horrible headaches lately and it has almost made me crazy. My sleep patterns have

Untamed: How the Wild Side of Jesus Frees Us to Live and Love with Abandon is one of those books that if you look at it you would never know what a true gem it really is. When I chose this book, I honestly did not think that I would be able to read the whole thing. I was wrong.

The heat here in Michigan has been horrible for the last few days, finally got a break yesterday. As of right now at 5:41am it is 54 degrees, which I am happy with. The windows are back open and the air conditioning off again. Yes, I know it is June, yes, I know it is supposed to be hot, however, when it gets to be Florida hot here we have an issue. I have felt like I was melting in my own

It has been two weeks since the issue with school has started and I could have another two weeks to wait to hear what is going to happen. I have been really depressed lately and not really feeling like doing anything. Today is better. I am feeling more like myself again. I have not written because I basically had nothing to say. I had to switch back to my blogspot address from before because I

It would seem that this coming weekend is the weekend to finally move stuff around and get my dining room table put together. We have had the table since February and it has sat in the box since then waiting to be put together. So this coming weekend is finally that time. Yay! Yesterday was horrible severe weather here. The tornado sirens went off and we went down stairs for a bit because it was

On Monday a very BIG issue with school came up and I am now in the process of appealing it. I was told that it would take about 2-4 weeks for the process and when finished I could either go back to class or I would have to wait a whole year to reapply at that school. Yes, it is that bad… The issue that is going on is because I had to close out some credits from another school that I know I most

I had to export my cooking blog to my computer and then delete it. So, I created a new one and it can be found here. I did import all the entries from the other one to this one though.

You know sometimes days slip right past me. It is Friday again. I am sorta left wondering where my week went.

I have to admit right off the bat that I had a lot of trouble reading this book. I knew when I chose this book to review that it was a book about diet and God, I think that is what drew me to it in the first place.
