…in CT, I will have to look for a steady job outside of the home. I just don’t see any other way of us making it here. Scottie is already looking for a second job which he’ll do part time and even with that we won’t be able to afford to stay afloat for long. Facing foreclosure is not so far off anymore and I would hate for him to lose this house because he worked hard for it. It’s scary to say the least. My two online ventures are doing ok but I am still in that 5 year span and make just enough to pay the monthly bills that I have to pay to stay in business so there is nothing I can chop off towards the monthly bills we have offline. So yeah I will be looking for a part time job soon. I may look into a sales career since I kinda do that online already. I will ahve to sit down and figure out what I can do exactly to help with these bills. What my options are as far as part time work outside of the home and still be able to do my online work as well. It won’t be easy but it sure beats foreclosure!

Scottie’s B-day is not until November but I have been thinking about what to get him already. He is very hard to shop for so I like make sure that I have plenty of time. This year I was thinking that maybe a couple of personalized gifts would be nice. I like personalized gifts and I know that he likes them as well. So maybe a nice watch or a wallet? Oh, or a new robe? He was really hinting around how he could use a new one last winter. Hmmmm… I know he always needs new tools and maybe I can get those personalized? Now that would be kewl! I will have to check into it. I think personalized gifts are great for any occasion actually. That way the recipient will always remember who gave it to them. I know that I still have a few things floating around here that were given to me as gifts and I have no clue who gave them to me. Isn’t that pityful?

I swear I need a brain patch! I have so much crap going through my head lately it’s amazing I haven’t drowned my brain yet! I quit WW meetings once again. MIL is not very reliable and I don’t want to go by myself every week. So I am doing the online thing once again and I lost 2.5 lbs on my last weigh in which was Tuesday. I am saving roughly $25.00 a month by just doing it online. I need the money for bills anyway so it’s actually a good thing but I also should have known she would do this again. She gets upset when I lose and she doesn’t, so I feel guilty when I do and that should not even be happening. I should feel proud and accomplished…not guilty! So I am on my own again….it’s all good

Spoke to Gee yesterday. Laughed my ass off. This guy is a hilarious…honest. He actually thinks he had me sprung! Errrr…sure I was in love…but so was he…back in the days. He is playing it off…or trying to…as best as he can. Sprung? Ok maybe…just as SPRUNG as he was! *LOL* Oh, I could write stories and my readers would literally laugh until they cried. But I won’t go there just yet. Maybe one day I will start a blog and tell the story of Gee & Lee…beginning to end! We had a blast back then and we’re having a blast even now with him having to go through this bullshit. I’m loving that!

Ok, I have to get back into my dungeon and pour some more tarts for an order …

Smooches

I just poured my soy testers and OMG they smell devine! I am in the office and the craft room is down the hall with it’s door closed and I can still smell them! Kinda makes me hungry though *lol* but I gotta be good because I have my weigh in tonight. I will just keep attaching my lips to this water bottle of mine.

Got another letter from Gee yesterday and he is just the the funniest guy I have ever known. It’s amazing how he can make me laugh with just a letter. I cracked up royally and laughed so hard that I cried. He sure likes to talk shit and maybe that is why him and I get along the way we do. Can’t nobody talk shit like him and I do *rofl* The long distant collect calls are killing me but it’s worth it. I set up a prepaid account so now I can control it better. Still at $17.20 for a 20 minute call it does add up. It always seems as though 20 minutes ain’t long enough. Plus everytime I add money to my account they take out almost $10.00 in fees….bastards! I will have to save up a little more so I can add some more next week. I am just glad when all of this is over with.

I better get to getting and get some stuff done…

Smooches

And I have been trying to get this office of mine straight. What a drag but it needs to be done. I have so much paperwork to weed through…argh! Got a call from Gee this morning. he is doing ok - just waiting patiently for his courtdate which is set for the 7th of July. I was quite upset with him in regards of an email I received from his sister the other day but after talking to him about I kinda understand it a bit better. It did however plant a seed of doubt in my mind. So I will just sit back and see what happens. Too much drama and I get to walking away ‘cuz I hate drama. I try to avoid it at all costs. It’s just crap that ppl bring when they have nothing better to do. I kinda feel sorry for drama creators because they are obviously missing something in their lifes.

Anyway, I asked Gee if it was ok to post the poem here and he said it was so look for it sometime soon. I gotta get back to sorting paperwork…

Have a fabulous day everyone!

I went up to MIL’s yesterday to clean her house and after we took a dip in her pool. Lemme tell you it felt so good! It’s was oppressively humid yesterday and even just dusting her whole house broke me out in a sweat! *lol* So it was a welcome treat. I wish she didn’t live so far because I’d be up there every day! I just love it. We stayed for dinner then rented a couple of movies and chilled for the rest of the night. It was a pretty good day all in all.

Today I’ll be cleaning around here and getting my house back in order now that the bathroom has phase 1 done. We still need new tile, a new vanity and tub but that will have to wait until we are caught up and steady on the bills. Bathroom looks so much better now! I have my country hearts and stars deco up and the walls are all redone with new paint, border and new light fixtures…it’s so pretty. Once I get this house cleaned I have to organize my workshop…oh, I dread it. I accumulated so much over the last 3 years and it will be hell trying to sort it all. But it’s gotta be done before the testing starts for the upcoming fall and winter season. Kinda sucks when you have to think about fall/winter in the midst of summer *lol*

Anywho, I am off to get my day started…

Toodles

I just finished my workout and it felt good after 5 days of not working out. I tend to get into a rut so I like to take periodic breaks.

I spoke to Gee yesterday for the first time in 3 weeks and he is doing ok. He finally has his courtdate and looks forward to moving things along. He also wrote me the cutest love poem! I’m gonna see if he’s ok with my posting it here. It’s just darling…and my first ever at that! No one has ever written me a love poem before so this is quite special.

Ok, I need a shower…lol.. …I’ll be home all day after all

I am such a lucky gal - I was chosen to review freshwater pearls and I am still amazed at how beautiful my strand of pearls is.  I can’t stop looking at them and I keep running my fingers over them because I just love how they feel. I chose the multi-hued Black Pearl Necklace and it’s a dream come true because I think that Black Pearls are absolutely stunning and I have always wished for some. I am the type of person who likes to think outside of the box and do things my way so having a strand of Black Pearls is right up my alley and I will wear these with pride.

Here is my Storybook of my dream come true

I have been told by friends and family to go browse bestbuy.com because one can always find the best buy at that place. Since I am already thinking xmas gifts I might just have to check it out when I finally have a few minutes to just browse again. I like to start my xmas shopping early so when the season comes around I can save myself the headache of finding the perfect gift. Did that for too many years and ended up with more gray hairs that I wanted to have. This years gifts will be not be extravagant however - I simply can’t afford it. With gas prices going who knows where we are pinching pennies already and are having a hard time with the bills so it will have to be small cheap gifts and if the family don’t like it they can go stomp sand! LOL

Only 3 more days. I should have waited with this sale. I didn’t make out as good as I had hoped. People always want new stuff but don’t realize that it takes a lot of money to add something new to a line. I can’t afford to keep up with regular supplies and add new items all the time so I decided to do away with most of the bath and body stuff. I am almost out of a few things so when they are gone - they are gone for good. Just trying to keep everything organized with all of the supplies is a challenge and this will help me with my space issues as well. I have to get ready for the fall line up but it’s been crazy with my helping MIL. We went from one day a week to 3 days a week and it’s killing me…timewise! I will have to go back to only 1 day or I won’t be able to get my fall line up ready!
