Day 7 - Place you want to visit the most.

There are many places that I want to visit and travel to, but if given the opportunity to visit one place, I would choose Alaska for a US visit or Rome for a foreign country visit.

I have always loved the snow covered mountains, forest and amazing views they have. I wish to see the Northern lights once in person, because I think thay would be amazing. 

Rome has many historical and architectural places that would be amazing to see. I would choose Rome over Alaska any day though because of the age of the buildings that I would be able to view in person.

Day 6 - Favorite Vacation

I went on my first and only cruise (so far) in August 2010. Due to a recent hurricane we were not able to leave the Jacksonville port until 10pm a good 9 hours late from the original time. Because of the travel time lost our cruise schedule changed from Freeport and Nassau Bahamas to Key West, FL and Freeport, Bahamas. We experienced rain our whole first day of traveling and rough seas to where walking sideways was the normal. 

We had 1 day traveling, 4 hours in Key West one day, 4 hours in Freeport the next day and the last day was all traveling. Although there was way too much time on the ship and this got to be exhausting and expensive, we were still able to enjoy the times that we had in our ports, though the times were not as long as they should have been on a normal cruise.

I plan on going on another cruise and setting it up well before hurricane season and plan to enjoy the excursions we had intended to in the first place. Even though we had a lot of downs during the trip, this is still my favorite vacation because I got to see and do things I haven't before. I went snorkeling in Key West and visited the home of Ernest Hemingway and we did some shopping and sightseeing in Freeport. My boyfriend and I were able to get away from everything and relax, get some sun and enjoy our time and our vacation together.

Day 5 - Picture of You and Sibling/Pet

So I know I missed a few days due to helping my sister move from FL to RI (see previous blog entry) and I know this means I failed the picture challenge, but I will still continue and start from where I left off.

Day 5 - Picture of your and your sibling(s) or pet(s). I am going to post pictures of my pets.

My boyfriend and I have 1 dog and 2 cats. We adopted the cats from a shelter for my birthday in 2011 and they have two completely different personalities, as all cat lovers will understand and they look nothing alike. Pickles is the black and white one, she is clingy and loves to meow and purr all the time. She is average weight and loves her belly being rubbed and scratched, we always have 'belly time' with her. Philly had gray, long hair that is soft to the touch and he only comes to sit with you when he wants to. His tail is fluffy and we call him 'fan tail' and I have been known to obsess at times over how much I love his fuzzy tail. Where Pickles is average in weight, my boyfriend calls her chunky due to Philly who is the fuzzy, stronger cat, but does not have much weight on him, but the vet states is normal and he is just a thin kitty. I wanted him to be fat and fuzzy when I first got him, but.... lol

I have always been a cat person, they come to you when they want to mostly, but I have always had their love and affection when I was upset and needed comfort the most. Even though I have to deal with litter, they are less maintenance then our dog its.


Our dog is very extreme! His name is Odin and he is strong, energetic and pretty much crazy. We got him as a puppy from Craigslist April 2012 and he was barely 9 lbs, quiet and calm and slept most of the time. After we brought him home we got him established with our vet and he was a little sick, once the antibiotics were done this dog was running all over the place and eating everything! He has torn up our couch, many pairs of my shoes and loves to eat the oven mitts too!

We take him for walks to try to help calm him more, but his is just a very energetic dog, I'm thinking about getting him a treadmill. We were told he is a mix of boxer and pitt bull and possibly something else. His back is up to my knee level and I'm only 5'4 and he weighs a solid 50lbs of muscle. I love this dog even if he is too hyper for us and he likes to eat our stuff. We have kept the house cleaner and more tidy (not that it was very messy, just lived in) and we make sure to put up all shoes, food and anything else he would crab to chew on. He thinks he is a lap dogs, but is ungraceful when sitting on you, we are always getting elbowed and our stomachs crushed, but ones he settles and relaxes in our lap, laying with him gives the calming effect that only comes from animals that we love.

Remember that animals love unconditionally, they don't know another way. If you have the ability to donate to your locate shelters or national or you adopt a pet remember this is a gift that the pet would pay back with their love and affection unconditionally.

Moving sucks

I have been close with my sister for years and look to her as my best friend, she and I have had each others backs through many things both hard and extremely hard. So when she asked me to help her and her husband drive to their new home in RI I accepted immediately, I live in Jacksonville, FL and they were moving from Jacksonville to RI due to a job offer that her husband received.

We left their home Sunday 10/27 at 8 am and did pretty good on time. We made it to Alexandria, VA by 10:30pm, this is good timing because the Uhaul would not go too much over 65 mph, we were traveling with a dog and cats so we had to walk the dog and check on the cats, and each one of the three of us have health conditions that make driving for long periods very difficult. My sister and I have heredity spinal issues that only get worse over time and cause degenerative disc, arthritic, etc throughout our entire backs, starting with the lower back area and hers is much more severe then mine is.

During the trip we reminisced on our Dad and the good times and his passing. There were many tears of laughter, happiness, frustration and pure exhaustion, I would not trade this for anything. It is unfortunate that I was only able to take a little bit of time off of work and could not stay with them any longer.

We reached there home in RI, a friend of theirs helped unload the truck and we stayed up till 2am, until I passed out on their big ottoman and they kicked me off that and to the couch a few later. My flight home left at 6am so they dropped me off at 5 am and I said goodbye to my sister and brother-in-law with tears and deep hugs, not sure when they can come visit next. I wish them well with their move, settling, job and new life in RI, but I miss them so much. My sister and I are so close, this distance hurts, but I know the job will be good for them and hope that the distance does not hurt so much for her as time passes.

Personally I have never moved out of state. Moving sucks, costs too much and is just tiring from the planning, packing, lifting, unpacking, etc.

What is the longest that anyone has moved? 

I was 7 and moved from PA to FL, not sure if that counts with me being 7 because I don't remember it much and probably did not too much, if any packing.

Day 4 - Someone I Love A Lot

I have been with my boyfriend Jason for over 4 years now.  He has helped me through the loss of my Dad and I have helped him with the loss of his mom.

We get along great, but like all couples we still have our moments. When we first met I was just looking for friends and had recently ended a long relationship where my ex was dishonest and I was scared to enter anything new.

We met and had lunch at Chili's then went to play pool with one of his friends. There was never an awkward moment and we always had something to talk about. He is cute, charming, funny, and amazing in every way for me.

We dated then moved in quickly which scared us both and our families, but it all worked out. We both trusted each other and knew this relationship was a long term commitment.

I love him with all my heart and hope one day to be husband and wife. Though I may get impatient at times for it, I know that when we are ready.....it will happen.

Day 3 - Bestest Friend

Day 3 is a picture of me and my bestest friend. My friend Amy and I have know each other since 2001 or so, I'm bad with the details, she would know probably the month and day even. lol

As with most friendships we have had our ups and downs and for awhile there we stopped talking completely. It unfortunately took something drastic for me to find the courage to talk to her again and like the forgiving person she is, she accepted me back in to her life. I really don't know what I would do without her. She has been going through some rough times in life and I try to be there for her as much as possible and don't have nearly enough time with her as I want to.

Best friends should be able to discuss anything and everything without feeling shy or scared to talk about them and I have that with Amy. We talk about family, friends, relationships, sex, dogs, general public and other random questions that come to mind. It is so easy to talk with her about these things that I barely hesitate when I have a new questions or topic to discuss.

I don't think about it too much because it hurts to and my eyes well up as I type this, but she was there when I found out about my Dad passing. That time is a blur to me mostly, but I remember clearly walking into the ER and seeing her face and just knowing and she was there for me through that. It was the hardest thing I have gone through to this day.

She is dealing with her own life struggles and I hope that I am there for her throughout them and can make more time for her and be there by her side when she needs me. This is why she is my best friend, I can not imagine a time without her anymore.

Day 2 - Family Picture

Ok, so it took some digging, but I was finally able to find a family picture. It was always hard for us to get together long enough to take a family picture and then we very rarely had someone else available to take the photo. This family picture is only missing my Dad, but it does have all of my Mom, Sister and husband, Sister and Husband, Brother and Wife, Niece, Nephew and Myself and my boyfriend (4 years together so I love him and he is part of the family now).

My Dad passed away suddenly in Nov 2009 and not a day goes by that I don't miss him. We had a lot in common, likes, dislikes, our quick wit and sarcastic humor and we got along most of the time. I'd say about 95% of the time. Our family was never vocal about our love for each other, but my Dad's passing hit us hard and we began to say "I love you" to each other, which we never did before.

His passing was quick and we never had a chance to say I love you or goodbye close to his passing and I personally regret the times that I was able to spend more time with him but didn't.

Keep your family close and never miss an opportunity to tell them you love them.



Love you Dad !

Day 1 Favorite Picture of Myself

Now I will say that I do not like to take pictures too often, but of the pictures that I currently have I have two favorite pictures of myself.

The first is a really good picture of me that I took after I straightened my hair and even have a decent smile. For those that don't know me I hate my teeth because of a gap and my hair is usually straight on the top and after my ears its wavy. So it never really looks right unless I use a curling spray/balm and try to make all of my hair wavy/curly or I try to straighten it. I have always loved the black and white photo and this helps remove all blemishes on my skin. This is why this photo is one of my favorites.



The second photo shows three of my tattoos. I love tattoos and wish I could get more, but financially I am unable to at this time. Tattoos help express who I am and what I love. On my back shoulders I have the sun and moon which I have always loved and I like how the artist did the shading and placement as well. The tribal piece below is for my family. The middle has my zodiac sign, Gemini. There are 6 butterflies to represent myself and my family. Mom, Dad, Sister, Sister, Me, Brother. I love my family and they are always with with no matter how apart we are.

My dad passed away in 2009 and I think about him everyday. My next tattoo will be a chess piece of the Knight to represent my dad. He taught me Chess and I only wish I had spent more time with him playing the game.



50 Day Picture Challenge

I have never done a picture challenge before and although people usually do these on Facebook, I wanted to blog them instead so I can go into more detail on certain pictures and so I would not clutter up my Facebook feed.

I searched picture challenge and grabbed the one that said Impossible. I read over a few here and there and this seems entirely possible to me. If I am unable to find a picture to go for that day. I plan to think of something similar or close and post that instead. Lets see if I can keep this up.


Here is the link that I chose


My first picture will be in a separate post.

Waiting for a ring

Now I know that we shouldn't push our significant other into doing things and should wait until they are ready. But at what point is the wait too long?

We have talked about marriage and kids and we both want them.....with each other. But there has been no real talk about getting engaged and making this official. The last time we discussed this we were upset about our financial situation and discussed having children with the low financials that we have now, and how we want to wait until we have better incomes. Marriage came up, by him, and he stated that he wanted to "get married and have kids, but not live paycheck to paycheck."

We understand that children are expensive and we will probably live paycheck to paycheck even then, but we are doing that now, barely making ends meet....with no kids.We also discussed our ages, I will be 30 next year and he will be 34. So we are already going to be older then some families, but don't want to be too old, or no longer around for our children's lives.

We have been together 4.5 years and do not really argue or have any issues between us that are breakup worthy. We both have out moments and out little quirks. But we do see this future together, so how long should I wait?

I know that I will continue to wait because I love him with all of my heart, but a part of me will still wait for a ring to be in each of my gifts, Christmas, Valentine's, Birthday....until one day he asks me.

And of course my answer will be YES!

My shopping addiction

So I like to shop. I think its an addiction. I have so many clothes in my closet with tags still on them. Though I am not a big spender, at all, these items do add up. Most things I find on clearence but $5 here and $3 there eventually add up and not wearing the clothes is a waste.

So why not wear them? Well I thought about this one day as I put one of the new shirts on and ripped the tag off. My thought was that I don't like to wear them for fear of losing them.

I love the items so much that I don't want them to fade, tear, shrink, stain etc. That I don't wear them for fear of not having them later.  Does anyone else EVER think like this? It doesn't make sense to me, but that is the reason.

Today I bought another shirt on clearance that I hope to wear soon. For now it sits in my closet with all the other clothing (with tags) and one day will see the outside of the house. I got to get over this.

10 Random GOOD!

1. I can honestly say that I have found the person I wish to spend the rest of my life with.

2. I am 4 classes away from receiving my Associates of Science in Criminal Justice, then on to my Bachelor's!

3. I absolutely LOVE my babies. Odin (dog), Philly & Pickles (cats).
4. I love my phone Samsung Galaxy III, best phone I have ever had and am so happy with the picture quality, the phone features and can say this is the first phone I have had for a few months and have NOT found anything that I don't like about it.

5. Homemade Chocolate Chip cookies (well, store bought, but cooked at my house, in my oven)

6. Family! I love my family even though they have their moments I don't know what I would do without them! (this includes blood, additional family, "family", my boyfriends family, etc, Family is not by blood and marriage, Family is who consider to be part or your life)

7. Music, any kind, any time, every day. I don't know what I would do without music. It really does help to shape/show our moods and personalities and helps us to relax, unwind, vent, cry,  show love, happiness, and any and every other mood you can think of. I love music

8. I can fit into clothes that I bought and never could wear. This is one of the biggest motivators that I can think of to help get started on walking more often, both for myself and my dog.

9. My niece and nephew, they are a separate good from my family because they are children and have the honesty and admiration that only children can have. I love being around them and they can make any day brighter for me.

10. Weekends!
and and a bonus. # 11. Norman Reedus (no explanation needed)




Had to list the good in my life, since my last two blogs (all tonight) were both pretty much rants.

Drug addiction

It really is sad how many people are affected by drug addiction. And even though there are many illegal and dangerous drugs out in our world today, one of the most common drug addiction issues has to deal with prescription medications.

I live in Florida, which is considered a "pill mill" state. It really is a place that many people come to see a physician, get a prescription, fill it and then move the drugs out of state to sell them. I have grown up with many people addicted to different things and to see people hurting themselves with drugs and abusing prescription medications is very upsetting.

I have seen people killed from, killed for, and even lose their kids due to addiction. And if a person survives the loss of their children, taken away by the state, or killed in an accident because the parents were too high to pay attention, the only thing that parent does...is continue to kill themselves with drugs. We have people robbing pharmacies and those pharmacies now refuse to carry certain medications because they fear for the safety of their employees. It makes me sick to see people that hurt themselves continuously.

What is really upsetting is when you see a baby that has to be given a dose of methadone so they don't die from withdraw because their mother is an addict and passed the drugs to her child. Most of the time, the mother will get custody of her baby too and the cycle will repeat itself.

This post was kind of dark for my stuff, but that seems to be my mood tonight when I have found out things about people that I knew.

Part time work

I work a full time job and go to school full time and I find myself dragging and exhausted. I spend all of my free time trying to keep up with school work, house work and spend time with my boyfriend so he doesn't go looking for someone else. (we live together and have been together for 4 years, I really don't believe that) but on a serious note. I just don't have any spare time.

So my title is part time work, because even though we are both working full time and he is working 40+ hours a week, he is based on commission which is the dumbest thing I have heard of, because he is a route driver that fills vending machines. If his vending machines don't make money, he doesn't get paid. His job recently "restructured" and lessened his route by "a little". He is working 40+ hours still and yet for two weeks pay brings home $400 ?!?!

The sad thing is that we have been looking for a new job for him, but the job market is still very thin and hard to find anything at all. So I also find myself looking for part time work now to add to my personal list. how can we afford to live if his paycheck is cut in half?!

This upsets and worries me and I know he is stressed and worried too, but I just don't understand this. We had some money saved up from income taxes to cover last months rent, but I just don't know....

It hurts to have these kinds of struggles and see people that flaunt things they buy and do because they have money, there is a difference between talking about something and flaunting/bragging about things.

Another crappy thing is that by trying to find part time work I have to fill out applications that are 5 pages just for work at a grocery store or even fast food. Then they see my work history and say I am overqualified and decline my application. What ticks me off too are the places that have you go apply at the store...on the computer there?! Uhm, why!?

Its been awhile

Since I blogged. Im not ready to blog again yet, just wanted to say a few things......wait...isnt that blogging?

Its 2:21 am. I just finished doing homework since 10pm and I have to work in 6 hours. I love school and what it will help me accomplish in the long run, but I am so tired. Everyday its school work. I cannot seem to catch a break.

Its so tiring and hard sometimes that I can't help but to stop and cry in frustration and having Algebra does not help at all.

Monster Jam 2013

I have never been to Monster Jam but this year I got tickets. J has always talked about how much he loved going to Monster Jam years ago with him mom. His dad passed away when he was 11 and his mom took him the year after because they originally planned to go together, but were unable to. The huge trucks, stadium atmosphere, and TONS of people it all seemed to be overwhelming to me. I do not do crowded places well.

But to see his face light up when we got there and especially when the trucks started to go, it made me realize just how much this event meant to him. Not only is he big into engines and loved looking at the different trucks, but it made him remember the time he went with his mom and different memories that he feels he is starting to lose. It was exciting to see and hear the trucks racing and flipping over.

We had an amazing time there and it made us realize that by doing something over that you have done before with a loved one that you have lost, it does help to bring back the memories and can make that time more memorable and fresh in your mind again. Sometimes it can be painful to remember, but it can help to make the good memories more vivid in your mind.

B12 is Vitamin Crack

I have been feeling rundown and tired for months now. I get home make dinner and pretty much go right to bed after work. I was turning in all my school assignments late and my grades were suffering. Not to mention that on the weekends I would be able to do a few things and then sleep the rest of the hours and drag all throughout the week. My doctor tested my thyroid and iron and all is good. I started to take B12 vitamins  but they would help for almost 2 hours and then I would drag again.

B12 shot is amazing! My doctor gave me one last Friday and told me to keep track if it works and for how long so he can re-evaluate me next month. Last week was completely different, I felt like i got my life back. I came home from work and was able to do cleaning that I usually put off until the weekend. I turned in school work on time every night it was due and even stayed up until 11am each night cleaning out shows on my DVR. (I would usually be asleep by 9) This weekend I went to Monster Jam all day Saturday (next blog) and Sunday did all the housework that I have put off for weeks.

Not only was Sunday full of housework but I also had time to complete the finals for both of my classes and write a final paper turn it in on time and even watched a movie with Jason yesterday too. I am hoping this B12 shot will last the full month until I see my DR again, but if not I will let him know so he can make sure to give me enough to last next month. I am loving life now!!
