  • $100!!

    I did it! I finally reached the $100 mark on google adsense! After 40 something hubpages and a few other places where I put adsense on the web, I finally got to the landmark number that actually means something with adsense. See, if you’ve only got $50 in adsense, it hardly even counts as real money, because you can’t collect it until it reaches $100. And now I did it! When I first started out, I was making about $2.50 a month. Then, it slowly creeped up month by month up until I made $21.00 last month. Already in May…

  • Three Down, Two to Go: Teyona wins ANTM

    One of my guilty pleasures is watching reality tv. Sure, there are some regular shows that I enjoy, specifically Heroes, but for the most part, I like watching competitions. It’s just fun to watch people who really want something compete for a prize (usually money or fame), and each of the shows I love is different in the way they move toward that goal. Unfortunately, however, most of my shows that I love are coming to an end. I haven’t totally been keeping up with every episode simply because I can’t sit in front of the tv every night to…

  • Ant Invasion!

    I went down to the kitchen this morning all sleepy-eyed, ready to cook some eggs for breakfast, and I nearly screamed when I looked at the counter tops. Ants! Traveling all along our countertops in neat little rows, then fanning out all over the damn place. It was my fault, really. I didn’t clean up the salad from yesterday’s meal. I just put the bowls in the sink and said fuck it, I’ll do it tomorrow. That’s when the ants moved in. They must have been watching me from the shadowy depths of the kitchen’s walls, waiting to attack. Luckily,…

  • New WIP – Young Adult Novel

    My new WIP (work in progress) is a young adult novel, and I think it’s starting to drive me insane. I feel like a have a good premise and some good ideas for how the plot is going to go, but I’m having a hard time with some of the other decisions. Like what time do I want to set it in? Present day? The future? And what type of personality do I want my heroine to have? That’s a big one. I have thought of making her more of a misfit. Kind of like a goth girl with piercings…

  • ‘Steal My Heart’ Finished! Again!

    I have finally finished ‘Steal My Heart’! Again. Hehe. I finished this novella the first time back in October I believe, and sent it out to several publishers. The reaction was great… as far as rejections go. But no one was willing to buy the story. When that opportunity to pitch came up with Wild Rose Press last month, I decided to revamp the story line and see if I could make it work. The editor requested the manuscript, but of course, it was not rewritten yet and I had work to do. It sucks that it’s taken me a…

  • Face Transplant Amazes Me

    I remember hearing about the first official face transplant in the US around Christmas or the beginning of the year, and I wondered what on earth that really meant. The woman who had it done wanted to stay anonymous and no one was giving out the details of what they did to her or what exactly was wrong with her to begin with. Now, the face transplant recipient has come forward and identified herself. Her name is Connie Culp, and she used to be beautiful, at least on the outside. I don’t know much about her personality or her spirit,…
