  • Worrying About Money Sucks

    I realize some people will probably hate me for saying this, but the past year has been relatively money-worry free for the first time since… well, since I was too young to need money. I was extremely blessed with a favorable divorce agreement and a wonderful man in my life that was wanted me to live with him, which definitely saved on rent :). After getting engaged, however, the panic is starting to set in. Day to day life has been so pleasant and even though I have known I would have to start making money again soon, I have…

  • Following Through

    So far in my writing career, I have had trouble with finishing a story. Something tells me that in order to ever make any money at this, I am going to have to actually finish a story or novel or other project first. (haha) I have an entire folder of stories that I have started and gotten at least halfway through. I have not really finished anything. This is not my favorite thing to admit to. Right now, I am very close to finishing an erotic romance story that I am wanting to submit to Harlequin. It really should have…

  • Weight Loss Inspiration

    Nothing inspires the desire to lose weight and look amazing more than an impending wedding. Maybe a high school reunion or a meeting with an ex-boyfriend that broke your heart are both up there, but getting married takes the cake (pun intended).

  • "The Dark Knight" Does Not Disappoint

    After all of the news surrounding the new Batman installment, I wanted to see for myself whether it was a great movie and whether Heath Ledger truly delivered a performance worthy of a posthumous oscar nod. I’m not sure what it is about human nature that makes us want to flock to the scene of an accident or be a part of the events surrounding a person’s death. I guess deep down we are all a bunch of voyeuristic pigs, who want to witness tragedy so that we might understand it better. I think part of it is that we…

  • Friday Happiness

    I am so happy that it’s Friday! I can’t believe that we have almost been engaged for a week!!! This has been such a happy, wonderful week! And guess what else today is?? Snickerdoodle’s third birthday!! I remember when I first got her she was just a tiny puffball of white hair. In some ways it feels like I have had her for longer than three years. I wonder what we should do for her big day. Of course, she’s a dog and she has no idea what I mean when I shout Happy Birthday! to her. On the other…
