Being at home makes me sick... lol not really but I have realized that I get less things done when I'm at home. Some of you may be thinking "duh....cuz you need to go out and run errands" but I mean even with things that most people would do at home....for example I have recently started couponing and I would say that most people do this at home but for the few months that I have been doing it I have never done it in my own home. Most of it has been done at work (ssshhhhh don't tell my boss) especially when I pick up an over night shift.
Not that there is ton of interesting things to do at home that keeps me busy so I don't really understand what the problem is. I also have been doing a lot of arts and crafts and making jewels for my locs and I just can't seem to focus when I'm at home to get it done in a good timely manner. (note to all my readers....I have issues) Same thing when it came to doing homework...never got it done at home. Would go to a coffee house with wi-fi or go to a friends house or do it at work...etc but hardly ever at home.
So with that being said I'm currently not at home so I have to finish up and package some loc jewelry to send of (way later then I wanted it to be)

*pause*
Sooooo I am a little hesitant to write this post but ooohhhh well here goes.....
At almost 1am my phone rang and my first thought was "who is calling me right now" honestly thought it was my cousin or my best friend and to my surprise when I looked down it was neither of them but a smile came across my face (all parties will remain nameless)
After the initial greeting "he" stated "I haven't called you in awhile" and I all of a sudden felt so special. Him and I do communicate (mainly through text) but there is something about a voice conversation that is so more meaningful then a text.
We have known each other since I was 12 and back there there wasn't text and facebook and all the stuff there is today and we use to spend hours on the phone (mainly with me not saying much which has def changed) so tonight was a extra special treat.
We talked for awhile and caught up on recent things and it reminded me so much of when we were younger and I honestly couldn't keep from smiling. I felt like such a little girl with a crush. This guy is such a great friend and I am so happy that after all these years and all of our ups & downs and life in general we are still such great friends. We can talk about life's most important things, life's dumbest things, or be in a comfortable silence all while remaining true to ourselves. Friendship like this is hard to come by and even harder to keep a hold of. So we've made plans to hang out this Thursday and I'm excited about it and looking forward to it (not sure when's the last time I felt this way)
Plus he called me after midnight (which is his "bedtime") so it was a double special moment :)
Alright before I get all girly & mushy....good night!!!!

photography
As most of you may know I have been a photographer for many many years but nothing really on a professional level. I have worked in a couple studios and have my own work on the walls in my apartment but again nothing too serious.
I did some work for my "mom" and have taken many pictures of my sister and my godson but now I have the chance to branch out and become serious. Photography has always been a passion of mine but I am very nervous about doing it on my own on a professional level. I went to the castle not far from my house and did a few landscape shots and one of my co-workers really likes the one he saw and wants a copy. He has also be asking me for a few weeks now to do a shoot with him and this Saturday is d-day..... I am so super excited about finally being able to do it but also very scared. However it is time for me to start taking my own advice and but like Nike and "just do it"
I will try to do another blog post shortly after Saturday to tell you all how it went but in the meantime enjoy the waterfall from my trip to the castle

What's In My Purse
Okay sooooo what girl doesn't like to have a collection of hand bags?? I have many color many sizes (mainly medium-large) and am so eager to go out and buy some more. However I find myself always going through it and dumping things out because it gets too heavy. With that being said lets all take a trip through my purse (even I might be surprised)
In the two outside pockets:
- a lens to my sunglasses that kept popping out
- a pair of scissors (don't worry this was a just added addition because I wasn't sure if they would have some at work)
In the inside zipper pocket:
- my "like" list of the wines from a tasting I went to in FL
- a quarter
In the main purse: (prepare yourself)
-a journal
-a day planner
- phone charger
- check book (people make fun of me for having a check book)
- a book "What's Up Down There" (go out and get a copy)
- a headband
- not 1 but 2 black clutches (long story short my wallet was stolen and I never got a new one and I've been using clutches as wallets and just throw them into the big bag we won't go into why there is 2)
- a can of tuna fish (working in the middle of the night means I can't go out for food ::dare I add a lunchbox to my things to carry::)
- 1, 2, 3 different chap stick & lip gloss
- travel size lotion
- deodorant
-gum
- various ponytail holders
- hand sanitizer
- black eyeliner
- eyeliner sharpener
- excema cream
- flash drive
- camera memory card
- bobby pins
- nail file
- an ink pen (I'm shocked there's only 1)
- nail polish (clear w/glitter)
- tampons
- an assortment of coin change
and there was headphones but I'm currently using them
....now I ask myself can I survive without all these items?? I'm sure some of them can go and I'm sure I can think of a few things that can be added but for the time being it's all staying. Usually the clean out comes when it's time to switch to a different bag.
until next time

?????
I'm sad and I don't know why (single most suckiest feeling ever) and I want to write but nothing is coming to mind (yea that sucks too). It's 1:15am and I am at work trying oh-so very hard to stay awake. Why did I think 3rd shift was a good idea?? Good news is I filled out a letter of intent and so after my trip to FL in a couple weeks I will be transferring to a house closer to home and it will be 2nd shift ( I really wanted 1st) and I will be able to sleep at night again....

40 days to give up something...what shall it be??
So today is Ash Wednesday (well technically yesterday was since it 12:06) and I have never in my life given up anything for lent but I woke up this morning very motivated to make changes in my life so what a perfect day to start.
So to be 100% honest I don't know all the rules but I know people fast and give up meat on Fridays and so on and so forth....but I also know that some people decide to give up other vices in their life as well. With technology these day people have decided to give up facebook & twitter and such things so I had to find something to change.
So I thought taking the facebook app off my phone (but as sad as it sounds this is how I find out some important stuff about family not in CT) so decided not to delete
...no more drinking alcohol--sounds great but then I realized I don't really drink (maybe drank 3times this year) so that would be wayyyyyy to easy
....considered sex (don't make that face we are all grown) but that is also something that would be way too easy [without going into detail of my sex life]
...then it hit me I'm always talking about how I don't throw away anything and how my house is so cluttered and how I don't want to end up on A&E show Hoarding: Buried Alive. This is something that I really seriously struggle with (don't worry you can see the floors in my house) but I have a hard time getting rid of things. I hold on to things that people give me ( I feel so bad letting it go even if I don't use/want it) don't want people to get mad at me although I'm sure they won't.
So with that being said I have decided to give up the clutter for lent. I will throw away 1 bag of trash or donate 1 bag of clothes or clean out 1 box of clutter...etc every day until lent is over (or until my house is empty)
What are you giving up for lent??
until we meet again.....
