I am trying the Angel Curves waist trainer on a friends recommendation. That being said I am going to try and get some stuff listed in my old etsy store if I don't pass out while doing it from the waist trainer.  This thing is tight... and it squeezes my boobs up to the sky. So here is to me getting this stuff done.  I need to get rid of old inventory before I start making some new stuff!!!

So I am super lame with keeping up with my blog.... but that is about to change.

My excuses.. well... I studied for and passed my sales associate class to be a realtor and I am going to take and hopefully pass my licensing exam on the first try. (send happy thoughts) Also I am trying to finish my degree in Computer Information Technology and only have a handful of classes left and lastly but most importantly, my child is graduating in a week and with prom and grad announcements and all of the fun stuff that comes with that (dress shopping ahhhhh) I have been swamped.

HOWEVER, I am hopefully about to have obtained my license, will be having a little graduation of my own and then starting on my next degree, I am also going to re-vamp my etsy and my jewelry making.  I NEEEED an outlet so badly!

So with all of that said, I promise to be more visible on here and will hopefully be having some AMAZING jewelry to show off very soon!

Went to see Split

So, no spoilers, but I will say my daughter Lauren and I went to see split. Don't freak out, she is 17.... We both really liked the movie. I went in with no idea of what to expect because I had not seen any commercials for the movie and Lauren wanted to see it. I like the feel of our fancy little remodeled theater where you get to pick where you sit when you buy tickets. The seats are big and comfy and recline. Not at all good for snuggling with the significant other (if I had one) however perfect for getting comfy with a blanket because they keep it cold in there!

So, on to the movie I thought it was going to be another slasher film, we like those. It was more of a mind bendy kinda movie with a twist. Part of that twist linked it to a film called Unbreakable with Bruce Willis and Samuel Jackson. I had forgotten about this movie, so I rented it on Amazon Prime and watched it. I cannot wait for another movie to come out! I didn't know that Split was leading up to a superhero/ villain type movie and now that I do, I look forward to the follow up.

So, we enjoyed the big comfy seats, buttery popcorn and a really good movie with the possibility of more Bruce Willis!  I love him!

Just found a bunch of old photos from when I got to Ref... I miss my derby days.

It has been over a year since I have posted and I think as my very very late resolution for the new year I am going to try and post a little something at least once a week. This past year has been one of renewing my life and finding myself again.

I have loved, lost & learned. I have found a side of me that I like and am trying to lose the things about myself that I dislike. I have grown closer with my child before she becomes an adult. I am going back to my artsy ways and drawing, painting and making jewelry. Listening to the music that makes my soul soar. Eating healthy and cooking new things.  I am trying to get out more and spend time with friends and family who make my life whole and good. Planning to travel to places I have never been.

Despite the bumps in the road my life is getting better everyday and some may not agree with my outlook on life and my views, but I roll with it everyday and try not to complain or make my problems someone else's burden or force my opinions on anyone else. I deeply believe in Karma, that things in our lives happen at the right time as you need them to in your life. When it is what feels like a bad thing, something good will come along and counterbalance the bad. If we love and give our lives the best that we have, your life will flourish with the love you give. Instead of holding on to all of the negativity of why your life is riddled with roadblocks to your dreams, jump over those bad boys with all you have and make the best of what you have! It does not have to be perfect but being thankful for what you have and striving for more is way better than always looking back at mistakes and feeling sorrow.

I hope that all who read this are blessed and have the kind of calm and understanding that I am learning to find in myself. It has not been an easy road but it is my road and I choose to make it the best I can!

NEW BEGINNINGS!!!

Have you ever had the feeling that something AMAZING was about to happen???

My brain is in overload mode because of how wonderful I feel inside. I don't know if it is the new year or just my frame of mind. For those of you who set forth this new year with all of those awesome New Years resolutions and hopes and dreams for the new year, I wish you the best and hope they all come to fruition. I however, decided instead of having resolutions, that I will face every problem in my tiny little world with the best of intentions to turn it around and make it better.  A friend of mine recently graduated with her masters and I am soo proud of her and I was inspired (seeing as how we were both in school together and I should have been where she was but got lost along the way) I decided to put myself into high gear and do this! I registered for school at our state college (which now has a bachelors program) and got everything in order and I start classes this Monday!  I am more than excited.

On the other side of the scale, I recently lost a loved one to a drug overdose, he was a wonderful person, he just had demons that are beyond my understanding.  I think I put my life off in mourning him (he was my boyfriend & best friend).  I know this epidemic sweeping across the world is beyond anything that I could have ever done for him, as much as I loved him. Now ,I need to get my life out of the wreck and ruin he caused. I know he would not want me to mourn him forever and I am finally in love with life once again! In love with creating and having fun again!

I have put forth so many new efforts and I am excited to start seeing the fruits of my endeavors. I am hopeful that things fall into place after having been such a struggle. Good things have been happening and I am very thankful for all that I have and all that is to come!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
