Well its official. I'm old. I went to my yearly physicals and the following went into discussion</div>

He used to tell me I was gaining weight. I think stress played a part. The fact that my father was dying slowly in front of me and not really able to get help like I expected. My friends gave me emotional help but I hated bringing up his agony and my day-to-day of diaper changes. I lost my life for 5 years. I don't have a great career and I don't have any money to show for it. I am depressed but not showing it is my mode of operation. I hope my move to the Netherlands changes that. But for now I must get my health together as I work my way thru the immigration madness.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #3d596d; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25.5px;">It's called Macy's Thred up. </span>My brother gave me this link and I immediately sent for my kit. So basically you gather all your gently used clothing and you send to Macys and they in return give you a gift card. If there are clothes that arent worth anything they will either donate on your behalf or return them to you. I have alot of clothes to donate from what was left from my fathers estate that I wanted to get rid of. I donated alot of clothes and shoes to the Veteran shelter. I like to help the Vets 1st as my dad was and is a United States veteran. I hope if I can help maybe others can help as well. Here is the link again<br />

This is my post specific to The Netherlands. I have a cat about 10 years old and the steps to bring him abroad so far is to go to a certified veterinary that deals with European travel for animals. We went in January of 2016 and the 1st steps are to microchip and obtain a rabies shot. The cost was as follows for my vet:</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
$70 (office visit)</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
$25 (vaccine)</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
$60 (microchip)</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
It may be a lot but if you love your pet you will do it. I can’t imagine him put in a shelter or put down. My cat is a part of the family and he is looking forward to the move. So the next steps are to get quotes on transport. That is variable depending on who you go with. Aer Lingus was about $2500 and then KLM was $250. Yea big difference. I already have flown with both so its not going to be hard who to choose. Aer Lingus uses an outside agency and your cat will be below the plane and then KLM you can buy a soft carrier and then slide your little one under the chair. Direct flight is 7 hours and I am slowly helping my cat get use to it. Do not get any sleep meds or relaxation pills. It isn’t safe.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
So before you go you will need to book a last appointment with the vet <strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">10</strong> days before your trip. Your pet will get a letter of good health and then they submit to the USDA for processing of your travel documents. The US doesn’t have what is called a <em style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">pet passport</em>. They have a similar document. It takes 1 to 2 days processing from the vets office once it is done. I know they fedex/overnight the documents. Hopefully I will update you how it goes.</div>

I ate french toast and watched Expendables 2. The best way to start the new years. I really wish I was in that movie. I would soo be someones wife by the end. LOL. I just love action movies and starring in one would be great if I could actually run. Maybe they can hire a stunt double. Ok I am in bed now with the mac and its time to watch GH cuz its my day off and in a couple hours I gotta make lunch and check my dads blood sugar. Oh yea just cuz I watched tv doesnt mean I get out of takin care of dear ol dad. But just like normal people I get tired. I just finished a zpak for a cough thats been going on a week before Christmas. And the cough isnt gone. Being a caregiver has a lot of down days. But when you get old. dont you want someone to take care of you.... Its been a long road and I am glad I am here and somewhat healthy. Ok GH time. Thats General Hospital the soap opera if you all didnt know.<br />

Well feeling sorry for myself. Failing again being in career mode and getting chubbied up. Well just in the belly area. Its pretty much where it goes ladies and gentleman.I also inhereted a sick family member. I take care of my father now. He has vascular dementia and its no joke the other ailments he has but I am making due. He almost died this year and I never gave up. I dont get help taking care of him other than my son. I think people dont know what I go thru but nevertheless dont care and yes pretend to care when they call every 3 to 4 months. I hope they run across this blog and eat shit. I was also sick too but I will dive into that later. Well now its 2014. I said on facebook my resolutions here they are:<br />
<br />
1. Go cheap! That means shop less.no ordering food and being lazy. I have already been putting all my fav shopping companies that email me into spam so I no longer have triggers. I have started in Dec 2013 and it has saved me a ton.<br />
<br />
2. Career mode. I once again signed up for another semester despite me working 4 jobs taking care of my dad and homeschooling my son. I think this is my chance to get a great job and only 1 job. Be able to be a good provider and establish my life finally. Im just too old to be a hippy.<br />
<br />
3. Master my sewing skills. There was a black friday sale for the sewing studio in town and I think I just need something to call my own hobby time.<br />
<br />
Those are my NY resolutions. Nothing stupid like lose weight or anything. I have set in mind to just remain healthy. I also have a small plan to hopefully get my ultimate goal in life to live overseas. I was born in Germany and lived there and miss it soo much. I dream all the time my connections and spirit there. I will miss my friends but I think I need a new start. of course reasonings to come later. I hope I dont leave you all hanging.. sorry. this bitch was busyemailgroupiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06889051443505906745noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3832285227017888494.post-32848224550236806642012-12-23T08:36:00.001-08:002012-12-23T08:36:44.549-08:00Lemon juice challenge part IISo I lost 8 lbs!!!! Beat that ho!!<br />
I began the insanity workout and hurt myself. LOL Then I started doing my own workout and taking it easy. I have been eating smaller meals and lemon juice in the AM. I take a whole lemon and mix with warm water and I was putting 1 tablespoon of REAL maple syrup and then I stopped using maple syrup and used the no calorie sweetner. I went to the Christmas tree shop and got like 19 boxes of different teas and incorporated plain water in my diet. I am happy with the results. I guess as they say the toxins has been released from my body. I also try to drink the lemon water with a straw to lessen the eating of my tooth enamel. I will keep that up and hopefully the lbs will shed off. I dont have a scale and usually weigh myself at work. So it should be a surprise after the holidays how I look and feel. Well I just did like 3 posts in the last 1/2 hour I am going to make a small lunch and have a large glass of water with it to fill me up. :) For those of you out there. You can lose weight eating the same stuff. Just eat less. I have a little pot belly but I suspect from the long distance driving I do. Hopefully if I move closer to work I will have less of a belly and more weight to shed. :) Now I can leave on that note.emailgroupiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06889051443505906745noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3832285227017888494.post-27982961267248316742012-12-23T08:29:00.001-08:002012-12-23T08:29:19.483-08:00that dumb roku purchaseWell here I am the dumb shopper. I hate the roku and over spent BUT I have an idea. I gave up one of my cable boxes to trial the roku. I was assured by stupid youtube vids that it was the thing to buy. Well no sir no sir no sir it isnt. Ok so the good of the roku.<br />
<br />
Say you want to watch boring stuff here it is:<br />
LOL<br />
I am sorta joking. I have a thing. I dont like repeats old shows or much old movies. I just have no interests. It just annoys me. When people ask me about a movie I have already seen I can say I seen it but I dont recall it line by line cause I dont re watch it 5 million times to remember it. I can say that I love watching Rambo over and over. I am an action nut. But anyways I plan to resell my roku box back on amazon. I am an etailer on there and if I just sell it back I get a credit and use it to purchase food, hair products, or household products. Its just that easy. Now a days there is a thing called a smart tv LOL Well the smart tv is the ROKU within the tv and it has wifi and no need to worry about hooking up stuff. I have 3 old tvs and none of them can hook a blu-ray to it. You may say why do I need a blu-ray tv. I have a wonderful library membership and they have NEW blu-ray releases and saves me from buying or renting movies. (I dont really do that already. But I do however like new movies). So Thats one gripe. But I am all over the place. The roku has ALOT of channels but most are trials so after a week or a month you gotta pay. Then the free ones are litterally movies or shows so old I dont even want to bother with. I need some stimulation. I am not an outside person and I just like to be entertained. But maybe I will get more done not watching tv LOL. So I am a little sad that my buy was not what I expected. So my smart tv (waaaaay in the future) will be a "smart" buy. All purchases are to be calculated and researched a little better. LOL.emailgroupiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06889051443505906745noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3832285227017888494.post-61990686555997136292012-12-23T08:19:00.000-08:002012-12-23T08:19:29.352-08:00you tubeJust sitting here going thru ALOT of youtube videos. Just lookin at all
the junk people buy and show for me to be wanting. But this fiscal cliff
is not going to let me do the deed of splurging. I was cleaning and I know it sounds stupid but I really want a floor steamer and hoover is selling one that is a twin chamber one that steams with water in one tank and the other tank it has the disinfecting cleaner. I dont have a mop so I tend to hand wash (not great on the back) or I use a swiffer with a wet cloth. I am cheap so I use old washcloth rags to do it with piping hot water. Its a bit tedious and ends up not really cleaning at all. Sooo I dont know how I came up with the idea but of course Amazon.com came into mind and I put in my wish list the Hoover steam mop and I cant wait to buy. Its $97 on sale on amazon and originally $169. Its on sale at Walmart for $139. So Amazon.com is my best buy and I have prime so free shipping in 2 days. But I will not purchase now as I must only do purchases for important things such as rent,food gas etc...... i will post in my next blog about my dumb roku purchase.emailgroupiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06889051443505906745noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3832285227017888494.post-3575944249780690662012-12-23T08:14:00.000-08:002012-12-23T08:14:49.797-08:00just a blah dayYesterday and today I finally cleared out the living and dining area. I am making things comfortable until I start school in January. My GPA isnt that great and its all my fault. I have been depressed about it. I got a B, B+ and a D..... The D I cannot grasp. I aced both midterm (86%) and final(90%) and for some reason just cause I missed a couple assignments it tanked my grade. I really honestly hate my teacher and wished she would be fired on the basis of being an idiot. But I have the credit from that class and I am not looking back and will go on to bring my GPA up. Its a burning feeling because I never have gotten such a crappy grade. I feel embarrassed and am at a low state. But my plans coming up in January is to apply for MANY MANY scholarships (I am not sure If I will get any since my GPA got screwed). And do the yearly FAFSA. My apartment is looking more and more organized but I have alot more to clean. I have to clean the kitchen and then on to the bathroom and bedrooms. School starts Jan 22. I love school despite my grade. I have always wanted to go to University and make a difference. I just love the thought of higher education and going to a school that makes a difference in your future. I knew the class with the D would be a lame one but I tell you the other classes really made me feel a desire. Like as if they cared. I was getting lazy and both professors sent me messages to stay in the game. I truly appreciated that and I kicked butt. I actually got in one class a 100% on my paper. Beat that ho!! LOL Ok feeling more empowered right now. I picked some hard classes next semester. I dont know why but I just wanted a challenge.emailgroupiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06889051443505906745noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3832285227017888494.post-51165488824123866902012-12-12T11:05:00.001-08:002012-12-12T11:05:20.521-08:00exercise update InsanityWell I tried the Insanity for 3 days. I even got my son and my friend who lives in another state to be my workout buddies. Not a good thing happened. I got hurt. And pretty bad. Well to be honest the first day I was working out then halfway I had to pee and I took my shoes off. I dont know how or why I did it but when I continued my workout I came down a bit hard on my feet and hurt my left shin. Then I proceeded to workout on it and I dont know if I may have gave myself a stress fracture or pulled a muscle. But I retired the cd ( someone let me borrow). And now I have started again exercising but with resources that I owned already. On my roku box there is a a myriad of exercise channels. So I do that. Then I have dvds that I alternate from. My new choices are the Lindsay Brin and then I watch youtube videos with Penny Phang. So this morning I did ab exercises for 30 minutes and a crazy cardio exercise for 10 minutes on youtube. I had an ultimate workout today. I really want to feel the pain but not the insanity pain. I drank my lemon water with a teaspoon of maple syrup. I have been drinking with a straw to reduce acid erosion on my pretty teeth. Then I had tea (from my Christmas tree shop haul last nite) and then eggs. I am having a protein shake at lunch. I have an awesome cup I bought from amazon. It is a plastic cup (of course BPA free) and It has a wire wisk ball inside to mix my protein powder. So so so so so much easier then haulin out the blender. Just shake and drink. I am using the Designer Whey protein powder from Aria and I like it. A little chalky aftertaste but its NOT chunky. I really think I am going to get healthier. Plus I purchased a groupon thingy which I will discuss once I do. Ok off to clean this dump.emailgroupiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06889051443505906745noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3832285227017888494.post-61441620169039275432012-12-12T10:57:00.001-08:002012-12-12T10:57:07.368-08:00Cyber Monday purchase FAILSo I have to say that I have been trying to save money. FAIL cause I keep spending to save. LOL haha oh well. I bought a antennae to hook up to my tv so I can eventually give up paying for tv. Not even an option and now I own a piece of crap antennae. Its not really the manufacturers fault. Basically I have a tv that is way too old to do anything. This goes along with my really smart idea to get a decent priced blue ray player from Walmart. I love it but I cant hook it up cause once again my tv is too frickin old. My idea was not buy the blue ray discs but to rent for FREE from my library cause they have the new and latest movies that I can choose for for a great price LOL free. But yea so right now I have seen great deals on tvs but I will not splurge until I have the funds and things in order. Sooooo peoples do your research not all equipment can go with old crap that you have lying around in the house. boooooooemailgroupiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06889051443505906745noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3832285227017888494.post-88244354276825389842012-11-30T16:35:00.000-08:002012-11-30T16:35:14.166-08:00Lemon juice challengeOk more more more stuff. I was on youtube. (black hole to where I get pulled in.... But I love it)<br />
So yea I saw a video on a lemon juice challenge. I was reading and watching articles and videos about the values of lemon juice. 1st of all the recipe calls for warm water with 1/2 to 1 "FRESH" lemon 1st thing in the morning with no food. I like to put a tablespoon of REAL maple syrup to take the tang out of it.<br />
<br />
So here are the benefits<br />

Its calcium content builds healthy bones and healthy teeth. Its magnesium, in conjunction with calcium, plays an important part in the formation of blood albumen.

It is essential to every bodily function at a cellular level. Although bottled water has become a staple product of our present day society, its not your best choice for water consumption.

LOL I initially bought the squeem on Amazon.com and I was wearing it for 8 hours a day. It was tight at first but I got so used to it I was able to secure to the second level on it. But it had one drawback. It pinched my back area. I felt kinda scared cuz I thought maybe it might affect my kidneys or something. So I returned it and I will get a credit for it. The benefits of it<br />
<br />
I felt less hungry<br />
I sit and stand straight (posture improved)<br />
I look more slimmer in clothes<br />
<br />
I paid $30 for size.Medium. Depending on the size you order you can pay a little more or less. But I miss it. I really wanted to make it work but my health comes first. I had it from Nov 7th until Nov 29th. I also must admit I have scoliosis and a bit lordotic so I think with that it pinched a bit due to that also. Just dissapointed on a great product.<br />

I started the insanity video. OMG. yea I did the fit test. And I "sorta" suck. I must say my heart is pumping but they make it so simple on the video. I hope however to be in shape soon. I did the video with my son. He isnt as coordinated so it was hard keeping his form and following directions. But we both had a great workout. I have a little headache and I think its because of lack of water. I had a small Thanksgiving and I think that was my jumpstart because I dont want to eat as much and keep a smaller frame. I am not fat or overweight but I tend to gravitate weight ONLY to my belly. And when that happens my back arches in and I just look awful. I have a squeem that helps me with form and it actually helps with keeping the belly tucked in and when I take it off after 8 hours I feel like I want to stay straight. So back to the video. I did the fit test. I didnt write down any numbers but I think in two weeks I will gauge whether or not I have done better. I have a gym membership but it takes 30 to 45 min to get there and with my low budget and gas I think a home workout will be best. I will take pics from time to time and maybe you will see results. I right now wont do it cause my belly is one hot mess LOL. Ok I am going to eat dinner. Soup and half a sandwich. Its light and small and probably a cup of tea. I feel a rush right now and I want to keep moving cause I am going to crash soon. I have goals to be fit and hopefully I get there. yaayy<br />

It is deducted from my checking account. Oh boy the food I can buy with that. I work and then there is nothing on tv when I get home sometimes. I sometimes need tv to sleep. That sometimes backfires when I dream about Ginzo or stupid Wen informercials. I actually am convinced by the time I wake up that I need a Ab machine and Shark steam Vac!!! I know im not well. LOL So yea I broke down and cancelled 2 of the boxes and then as soon as my DVR is watched with past shows I will cancel DIRECTV. I decided to buy the ROKU box. It cost $74 and offers free tv and movies wth the choice of doing the HULU channel or Netflix for $7.99 a month (Netflix has tier payments starting at $8.99) I have a ban on Netflix so I am not going to push for a while. Them fools ruined my experience overcharging and I wont stand for it!! SO yea the ROKU box streams the tv channels thru wireless internet. You can hook it up easily by AV plugs, HDMI or by USB Stick into a flat screen tv that accepts it. i have a Old box tv and have the dream of one day a flat screen LED tv. FUTURE DREAMS!!! LOL. Ok so check out their website. I got the one without the game cause who needs angry birds when its on the freaking android or iphone LOL. Here is the website<br />
<br />
http://www.roku.com<br />
<br />
So if I pay $84 in cable one month pays off the box. Yea now think about the people that are paying for serious sport channels or language channels. I dont know but I think it says you can watch sports on here so Id look into it. Could be a sweet option. Us broke ass people need to improvise. I cant be with Pa carving wood LOL. Oh yea if you have a Wii there is the hulu channel and the Netflix channel so you can stream with the wii and then get a antennae. I was just about to get a box for the Living room and my son saved me by showing me that. Oh yea the boy wants to eat in the future. Hahaha. Ok so when I get it on Wednesday I will post how I feel about it. I am easy to please. This ROKU box is similar to appletv.<br />
Forgot to tell you. Make sure you return all boxes or you get charged and in my case I own the DVR. On Amazon.com you can resell it and ship it to them for free and get a gift card which I use to get household things and food (if a good price or prime delivery). Win WIN<br />
Anywho glad to share the knowledge. Hugsemailgroupiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06889051443505906745noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3832285227017888494.post-26842857971155842932012-11-05T05:50:00.001-08:002012-11-05T05:50:24.222-08:00Sewing machine <br />
I got some dough and I bought a sewing machine. I used to sew when I was younger. But mostly hand sewing. I have a sewing machine but its soo old it fell off the Mayflower. Its at my parents house and is attached to a table. when I get room I will bring it so I have a working space. But yea I bought a sewing machine. It is a<div>
<br /><br /><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; width: 540px;"><tbody>

<br /></div>
<div style="padding: 5px 5px 5px 0px;">
Wooooo hooo</div>
<div style="padding: 5px 5px 5px 0px;">
I think!! It was a pretty penny and I hope to make shit for days. I love clothes but never have money to buy. So something popped in my head.... poof. How about I make my own crap with my own fabric and my own cut to fit my body. My son already has requests. LOL So when I get catalogs I circle the clothes one day I will make and I save emails in folders and print up stuff. I plan to also get patterns as they go on sale because lord knows it will add up. So I went to Walmart to buy the machine because they are part of Upromise and I will get 5% back in sales to a college fund. I wanted to do Amazon because it was the same price but free 2 day shipping but I wanted the cash back. Believe me I was miserable cause I had to wait for the package then go and get it. yes I am lazy but sometimes things get a little murky at your Walmart. The other day while in line a lady threatened to kill or maim her friend if she didnt shut up. THe lady apologized how mad she was going to get and how she admitted she would kill her friend. Yea I went home from that line early before the massacre was even a thought. I just think sticking around for that isnt worth dying for in a Walmart. SO off that tangent. Yes the machine was $88 and on sale. It makes buttons (I was told that is cool) and the automatic bobbin (also cool). 25 stitches well I dont know what Ill do with that but I upgraded. What the hey. So yea its portable and I signed up for sewing classes on meetup.com. ITS FREE classes and the girl is around my age and makes clothes for her daughter which I think is super awesome (including halloween costumes) . So whats so great about that. Well sewing classes is what was holding me up. I cant afford classes on my budget and then the classes are during the day when people WORK!! So that would mean I never would learn to sew. So my meetups are every other Sunday and Thurs evening. I am saving a ton of dough. And will make things around the house I so desired. Like hemming pants, curtains, duvet covers etc. I am a nerd but a good looking one dammit. I have been watching youtube videos like a fiend learning about my machine and working my way up the chain of stalker on their pages. I know its a problem. But yea so my first class is Nov 11th. Pray for me sistas. I really want to make this a hobby to possibly get away from TV (sorta)</div>

Where has this girl been. Well I have been depressed, happy, upset, in love and broke LOL. Yeaaaay sounds like a great election emotion. So yes today I am going to talk about saving money heating your home. Or at least how I do it.<br />
<br />
I first recommend putting on clothes!!! May not sound like a genius idea but it works. I have poor circulation while my son is usually hot because he is constantly moving with his fun ADHD. So what we both have is thermal socks. Then the next thing to wear along with your sweats is a nice cuddly robe. I got ours at hanes.com. I want to give you a tip. When you subscribe you will get a catalogue in the mail and also emails. THE PRICE IS DIFFERENT ON BOTH. I found out that its cheaper to order online then thru the catalogue. My son thought I was a weirdo getting excited about saving money. But as I remind him. More money to eat with. I got a XL size (I am a medium but I wanted to be like a blanket size robe) cheetah print and I got him a mens XL grey robe so it will be big and cozy on him. Ours cost about $16.99 each and the fabric is microfleece. I like it because it is superwarm, doesnt pill, and ultra soft. I have bought ghetto snuggies and people dont bother. There is no insulation. I used the snuggies to make window drafters LOL.<br />
<br />
So the next suggestion is to get a programmable thermostat to be low during the hours you are not there (work, shopping school) and then warm up the house during dinner and then it goes down a lil when sleeping. I keep mines around 68 but my apt is always maintaining 73. I am blessed. Well blessed until I move. I also put a sign designating that only I can operate the machine. There you know it wont be messed with.<br />
<br />
Other tips are to cover window drafts with heavy cloths or cloth filled bags with beans or pebbles to keep the breeze from coming in. Also go to the Walmart to get window cling. I would say go to Target but Walmart has a big variety. Especially for patio door size windows.<br />
<br />
What I also do is drink lots of tea. I have a great percolator (I was raised overseas so its a part of life). I got mine from livingsocial.com for $20. I think originally it was $60. I bought it because it is cordless and heats water in 2 minutes and then I dont have to worry about the boy using the stove.<br />
<br />
Ok so this one people need to take advantage. So at dinner you made rolls or broiling steak yada yada yada. When you are done you turn off the oven. Why not crack the oven and warm up the place. DISCLAIMER Dont be that one who leaves the oven on and dies. Make sure and cook your food, turn it off and crack it open after to warm up a little.<br />
<br />
Wear a hat. Yea put on something on your noggin. Something cute LOL. Alot of heat escapes the scalp and that my friends means you retain it.<br />
<br />
Ok the last cheapie way to get warm is to put your clothes for 5 minutes in the dryer and bust that baby on!!! I did that at my dads house before we chopped wood. Oh yea wilderness woman here. LOL<br />
<br />
Last winter warmness is.... go to the mall. Its warm there too LOL Walking and doing window shopping saves money and the building is nice and warm until you get home. The less hours at home the more you save too.<br />
<br />

I am who I am and no one cant touch me. I am Hispanic. I am a lady. I am a beast. I am sexy. I am funny. I am a flirt. I am smart. I am I am I am.... We are all blessed with what we have and what we contribute to the world. I am allot of things and I think I am the perfect package and for those who try to hurt me well it wont work and it wont stop me from my mission in life. My mission is to live. I watched a YouTube video as I do while I lay down, listen to music, watch TV and study. I know I haven't changed since the last post but believe me its a work in progress. I get upset how people constantly give me drama because they are ugly. Mostly ugly on the inside. I know when I am up for competition I back down and let the other girl shine. I have no qualms about that. But If I look better then too bad. If I come out more funny too bad. I think if I come out shining its me being real. Im no act. Im the real Mccoy Bitch. yea I said it!!!! But I think that haters need to recongnize its why they are alone. Its why they dont get attention. Its cause their negative beliefs. Can you not just back down. If you want to say something say it. Cause Lawd knows Im gonna fuck shit up and keep thangs real. I often do remain silent because I dont want to go to jail for fucking you up but I keep silent cause most of the time Im the grown up and you are so small I dont even need to bother with making a scene. Im happy at this point in my life that with more freedoms in the world I am free spirited. I have a long list of happy accomplishments and more to gain. I think anyone in my way I plan to step over and overcome. So yes I will be looking good, feeling good and passing the good word. Watch this youtube video and she will tell you. I like her cause she is going into acting and modeling and has a good head on her shoulders. I have been thru alot of things similar to her and can account that pain is to be soothed to a point to make you stronger. Dont forget ladies and gentlemen. We all can say we are the shit and make the shit go round. Thank you <br />

I said I had just started back up from being sick. I had a bout with internal bleeding. Nothing serious. But serious. I had cramping and bloating and felt not myself because my monthly cycles lasted for most times 8 days. Well I decided I gotta lose weight. For a myriad of reasons. Exercising gives me a toned sexed up bod, clear mind control meaning I can study without feeling a cloud over my head, I have more energy (to clean oh fucking joy) and I am more healthy (yes I can be here to annoy you all more). So yea I went to a kick ass cookout last weekend and my girlfriend who invited me gave me a dvd to pick up at the office that she made for me. I cant say the video name (rhymes sorta with the first name of the show Hannity & Colmes). yea Im a nerd. But I used to watch that show. When I was bored of anything else. Now I watch respectable shows like Rupaul Drag race. LOL (well Now I cant watch that show cause I lowered my cable level sux being a poor bitch LOL) Anyways Rupaul inspired me to try another degree program and I am forever greatful. I am not gay but I think I have a connection. I think on some sort of level I am different. I like to think that even though one is drawn to the same sex just like me they bleed, have feelings and love a pair of comfortable flats. LOL But yea I think his show is a good time and of course tells the woes of life. But back to my fat ass. I plan to work out starting monday. I am nervous but I feel I will like the results. I do go to the gym mostly to have my son practice alot swimming but I dont exercise as long as I used to and as I should. Sooo hopefuly the video will jumpstart and I can keep up with the boy. Btw Im not like overweight by any means. I just know I have a pot belly and I have some cute dresses to fit into that I bought. Yes I have a shopping habit. its a working progress.

I didn't study and I had a meltdown driving to work today. I felt like crap and then I thought what would my mom say. She would say I need to get my ass into gear and fucking study. Actually there would be more cursing and slamming and banging of her hand onto tables. Then all of the sudden on the radio a song came on. Celia Cruz was on the radio and that was one of my moms favourite songs. Then I knew she was in the car with me. So I put myself in a dilemma. I am excited about school. I love the classes and I love the school. Its an actual University and Im proud to look at my acceptance letter. I have graduated college twice but from small schools and I wanted to make a difference as a single mom and in my career. So basically I started week 3 late. I did all assignments except read my book. The reason for one of my classes is because I didnt have it. I got it late and stupid me I didnt pay attention which one I needed. I had two books waiting for me at the bookstore and I returned the wrong one. I started to read one but then I thought the chapters didnt match the syllabus. OH FUCK!!. I also spent a little too much on shoes and I didnt have enough for the book. And I have been driving an hour one way twice this week to help my dad chop wood. So I was exhausted from that. Well I lost 2 days plus I fucked around one day healing inbetween from chopping wood and then I did some school work but not all. So now its Sunday. And there is a test on all three chapters. I woke up at 4am tried to get a ebook in textbook form. Yea well I dont have the dough and the ebook is more money than renting (weird) and If I rent I have to wait in the mail for it and I need it for the test. So what I did was the next best thing. See if Barnes and Nobles has it in store and go there and read the first 3 chapters and then go home and do the test. Well I called while at work and they DID NOT FUCKING HAVE IT!! Sooooo I searched for ebooks that were cheap. I found a good website that let me sample the book. YESSS!!! And NOOOOO!!!. I got a sample allright. I got 1 goddam chapter. And I read the book in bed. Stupid me. Cause I fell asleep between chapters (naughty fucking me) But then I got to the end of ch 1. It says if you want to read more buy the ebook or rent the ebook. Then I went to the website to take my test. It says you have to do it at 5pm. It was 3:49Pm. FUCK ME and I have an hour to do the test. Well I log on and do the test without the rest of the book to read. Sure enough there was only fucking 10 questions and 8 of the 10 questions were in chapter 1 and I got 8 out of 10 right. FUCK me. Yes an 80% is good. But I could have done better. Its a mark on me and I feel like crap. I somehow made it without fully reading the book and being so tired from work and other demands of the week. But it goes to show that I am fully a procrastinator and I need to change.emailgroupiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06889051443505906745noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3832285227017888494.post-19042075395626612102012-09-13T02:53:00.002-07:002012-09-13T02:53:50.330-07:00Makeup removalSo at night I usually have minimal make up to take off. I don't use foundation much as I think it can make the skin tone sometimes uneven. No offense but I have seen people on youtube without make up and its scary. I know makeup is used to cover imperfections but you must work on getting the skin even in the first place because too much make up "I think" changes the chemical look to the skin. soo anywho.....<br />
<br />
<b>Almay oil free make up eraser sticks </b>I use these to just remove eye liner on my lower lid. These are magnificent. They have the makeup remover in the qtip tube. You snap off the edge. Watch the liquid soak the other end of the q-tip and begin to take off the liner. Its so gentle and so easy to come off. It doesn't burn and its liquid type is as thin as water. I highly recommend this. Its Hypo allergenic and great for sensitive. It cost about $5 and you can get at Target, Walmart, Ulta, or your local pharmacy.<br />

<b>The Estee Lauder Take it away Total Makeup remover -</b> I dont like it but I use it until I get a replacement. I am also using until I finish cause most times I dont like to waste. I got it from the Macys. I dont remember how much I paid but it was kinda alot. But the girl said oh yea use for removal of eye makeup. yea right. It felt like you have conjuctivitis if you put in your eye. DONT DO IT!!! It was all blobby and gooey. No matter how careful you are it gets in your eye.Its good for everywhere on your face except the eye area. I think it takes off a bit but not all of the makeup. Definetly not that good. The wipes from Estee Lauder is good I will talk about that another time. As you can see I am almost done.</div>

Now the last thing I use is the<b> Almay oil free eye makeup remover pads</b>. This I love love too. Almay has stepped up. Its cheap and again hypoallergenic. I got this from Target and I use 2 pads a nite. One for each eye. I have one in each hand and swipe over the eyelid to remove the eyeshadow and mascara. It takes it off and is gentle. It not oily like the neutrogena eye make up remover. (good lord is that oily. that should be used to lubricate your arm to impregnate a horse. I know Im gross but its my blog). I think Almay makes one in a bottle where I can squirt on a cotton pad but these are way more convenient and I can take with me on trips cause the container is small enough. So far its been a month with this and Im happy. It took me a while to get cause I was researching and I usually dont like to get things for beauty in big shop stores but sometimes we dont need to spend $40 or more to get the job done. Excellent buy and I mean it.</div>

Do you ever wonder what you can do with the tupperware or plastic lids that you lost containers to??? Well I use pyrex containers because I don't have to worry about the smell or the container staining. It also warms well and a safer alternative. I have plastic containers for a back up for if I have a party and I want guest to take food home. I am not heart broken if I don't get them back. So sometimes you don't get the container back or you just have the lid. You can use the lid to rest your cooking spoons or spatulas while cooking. It just makes things easier instead of going out to purchase a ladle holder. LOL Its cheaper and it stacks flat and if you are using multiple spoons you can lay out the covers. WIN WIN</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ok so there is this app called <b>Grocery IQ</b>. Its on the android and apple format. Its super easy to use and very handy. So basically I had this on my android (I miss you) and then when I got my iphone I downloaded here. So this app to be used to essential make a list of household/grocery items to purchase. It has the capability to scan the item so you don't have to type or talk it into the app. Its very fast and efficient. What I like about it also is that you can type in the price and unit size of the item so if you want to get it in the future you have an idea how much it is. It has a great history back up. The number on my app signifies how many items I need on my list. Once you purchase it goes into the cart. Its a free app and not corrupt when you use it. Also a big thing is its connected to coupons.com and you can print coupons or I believe scan from the phone. What I like to do is print them since I have an Epson air printer. (yea I know Im clever). So yea this is what the app looks like below I took some screen shots to show the example of what on my list. yea Im healthy lol</div>

I love Rimmel cause it thickens the eyelash and makes the lash curl up without the use of a curler. Its quite great but I noticed that Rimmel has a different ingredient type based on where it originates. Not doe nothing but I started using Rimmel from a trip i took and i loved it. So I bought the same here but it was the same in look but I noticed my eyes get itchy and burning. I switched to Almay One coat nourishing mascara and it's hypo allergenic but it doesn't really thicken the lash and it takes so many coats to notice anything. But no reaction which is good. It's just time consuming putting it on. I will keep using that until I settle on a waterproof brand I like. But to make things confirmed but I noticed Rimmel eyeliners make my eye itch and burn too. So I'm on the hunt girls and guys. <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-aRhn8WrnE-o/UE9pRirCb3I/AAAAAAAAA-c/HNC7PpklieQ/s640/blogger-image--1845955052.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-aRhn8WrnE-o/UE9pRirCb3I/AAAAAAAAA-c/HNC7PpklieQ/s640/blogger-image--1845955052.jpg" /></a></div>emailgroupiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06889051443505906745noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3832285227017888494.post-18586622604432423552012-09-11T03:35:00.002-07:002012-09-11T03:35:12.617-07:00School savings So I had to drop one of my classes because it doesn't count towards my degree. Boo hooooo I really liked it. It was the Introductions to Minorities. I am a minority so I thought how about I refresh and revitalize my thoughts on the subject. Well not happening. So I sent the instructor an email letting him know I was departing and I signed up for another class based on my advisors recommendation. So the new class asks for two books that one of them I read as a child. I actually felt the book was dumb but oh well I need it for school and I cant remember all the details of the book. So I have an issue. I paid for books already for the other class and they are coming to the bookstore for pickup. I have to cancel that order and get new books. But wait....... I'm a cheap (I mean frugal) bitch and my new class has books from 1976 and 1993. Im checking amazon.com. Yes I saw the books for like the range $5 to $15 but I still don't want to pay. Since I know these book titles are old and common. Let check the free resource. Yes bitches the library. So my library is a network of like 30 locations. They all share the same book/digital resources and all you do is put in your card number,request the title, and the book gets delivered to the location you wish. Soooo I did just that. I ordered one book on tape (I love audiobooks) and the other in paperback. Total cost = $FREE. I just need to find my tape player since they didn't put it on cd. Which is fine I don't care. And I can listen to the book and chill. I have a lot of little old gadgets from the old days just in case such a emergency comes up. I actually have Sony Walkman cd player. How prehistoric is that. I love that thing. I can listen to tv on it. I use it during blackouts when I need to hear the weather band. Its probably the last one on earth. LOL But yea so I saved cash on my class and I return one book and get my money back. So I can take that money and pay a bill. Not going to splurge no matter what. Now you learned something. Damn I'm so smart.emailgroupiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06889051443505906745noreply@blogger.com0
