Uniforms

It amazes me how people can wear uniforms to work sometimes. Personally I would get tired of wearing the same thing all the time, although it would greatly improve time getting dressed in the morning lol. My friend works in the medical field and has to wear scrubs a lot. She likes to get some of them at http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/Scrubs-for-Women/Original-Scrubs/ because they have a good selection.

I never thought that scrubs could come in such a variety. Then again, I don't frequent the doctor's office as much as I should either. She has all kinds of different styled nursing scrub tops and things. Sometimes I think she has a wider variety of scrubs than she does regular clothes LOL. I guess that's what happens when you spend more time at work than at home.

DEBT

If there’s one thing that I regret so far it is that I didn’t keep my credit score up. I really didn’t understand what I was getting into when I wasn’t able to pay my bills and now I might be paying the price. I need to see about getting a free credit score first, but it might be that I may not be able to get married for a while if it’s as bad as I think it is so that we have a chance at a future. That’s kind of sad.

I hope that someone reading this can learn from my mistake and do something before it’s too late. If I could tell my past self something, it would be to get the annual free score and if needed, sign up for debt counseling. I’m sure things wouldn’t have gotten this out of hand if I had a means to get rid of it back then, but now it’s much more difficult and I’m seeing hard times again. From here hopefully it won’t get any worse but with my job instability, it’s likely to repeat itself. I’ve definitely learned my lesson this time around and there’s no way I’ll be acquiring any more debt from here on out.

Rainbow Bridge

The one thing that's really hard about having pets is that their lifespan is so much shorter than our own. I remember when my first cat passed, it was one of the saddest things I've gone through. An old friend of mine is going through the same thing right now and it's really sad to watch. I think this was one of her first cats too. I had set up pet memorials in our yard for each animal we lost, which was pretty sad when we had to leave that house. I'm kind of glad that we don't have any right now so that I don't have to worry about the girls being too young if something were to happen to one of them. I'm sure that we'll end up having a couple at some point, but for right now I'll be happy with the freedom we have for now.

Terra Nova

I'm really enjoying the shows that have come out this season. There is quite a bit of creativity and I'm hoping that they will stay on since so many have been canceled recently. One of my new favorites is Terra Nova, which is about a family from the future who goes back to start a new civilization in the past. There are interesting and creative dinosaurs, plants, animals, and situations that arise on their new journey. I really like what the creators have done with this one and hopefully it lasts more than the season or two people are predicting.

On and Off

I'm starting to worry about the place we're living in. It seems like they don't really, or haven't, kept the place up too well and there's something on the fritz constantly. It's really all not big of a deal but it can be frustrating at times. The other day a guy came to look at things and had some of that corrugated metal hose but I'm not sure what he was doing. I know this is a temporary place and we're hoping to move next summer, if we can find a bigger place that we can still afford. That will be really different since we only really moved into the place next door to where we were already lol.

Where is it?!

Since I moved, I've realized what a mess I am with organizing things. I can't ever seem to get a good system down at all. My papers are all over the place and even my laptop is a disaster. Lucky for me, my BF is a total geek with computers and has been helping me keep things running smoothly. He's looking into document scanning software for me. That way I could remain slightly more organized, I hope LOL. I think I should be okay, once I figure out what needs improving, that's something else in itself lol.

Part of a Family

Guest post by Jewel Cole

Being part of a family like mine is a challenge, to say the least. It’s tough to have everyone so involved in my life and from my boyfriends to the adt PACKAGES I’m looking at they’ve always got something to say. I can only imagine what it would be like to make decisions for myself without having to hear from the peanut gallery – oh wouldn’t that be nice! I know they mean well but sometimes it makes me feel like they don’t trust me to make the right decisions for my own life which is a bummer. I never have done anything bad so I don’t know why in the world they wouldn’t think I’m capable – maybe it’s because I’m the baby or something like that. I sometimes fantasize about what it would be like to move away and do everything for myself but I know that’s not really a reality for me. I know as much as they drive me crazy my family is my biggest support systemand I need them a lot!
