I am going to try out the Welcome To My Reality contest and this is my blog for all of my entries. Each entry will be based off of a different prompt! I am looking forward to doing this! This may be interesting!! |
| }3. How cluttered is your computer's desktop? Do you keep it neat and tidy or random files all over the place? Why do you do this? Well I have an office space set up in my creation station room where I do all my arts and crafting. It is a desk top computer and I need to clean it up internally to get it up and working better but as for the desk itself....clean as a whistle. I am ocd and everything in that room has a spot..I have bins and each one is labeled..pens, markers, ribbon, flower tools, pencils, tape, so on and so on....everything has it's nice neat little spot. I even have baskets of flowers in there that are all sorted by colors. LoL...when my kids were little and did puzzles, I would write a number on all the pieces or a certain letter and that way I always knew if one was missing and I knew where one went at all times...organized!!!!!! Ahhhhhh I love it!! Then I have my laptop set up on my bed in my bedroom. That is where the tv is, that is my safe place...and even with a laptop on the bed..I have it propped up and everything is set up just the way I like it to be. And throughout the day I will go sweep or dust then come back to laptop and do a review or write and then go do dishes or laundry and on and on....But my "SPACE" is always set up in my own ocd way..... When I was an office manager years ago, I was so ocd about the way the office looked and at closing I made sure all was in it's CORRECT place LoL... I guess the reason why I do this is simple..I have OCD and I cannot help it. But at least it is a GOOD ocd habit..I wish my friends would invite me over and let me loose to organize lol...and if I could do that and actually DO IT and get paid..well then...that would be a dream job!~ Ocd can be very nice when it is things like cleaning and organizing lol....I love it!  |
| 2. Are you doing any traveling this month? Where are you going and why? Oh how I wish I could...I would travel to Colorado to visit one of my bestest friends Patrece ~  for sure!! I AM traveling a hour away to visit gardengirl this Saturday..and it IS out of state...soooooo I guess I am traveling somewhat...lol I wish I could travel so much...there is so much that I want to see and places I want to go to!!~ Dreaming of going to see things that I only get to see in pictures..... This summer though (as long as my back isn't a issue) Steve and I are taking a road trip to Colorado to see Patrece ~ and I cannot wait! I will be so pissed if this whole thing with my back messes up those plans! OMG...They will have to wheel my ass there on a stretcher LoL We have been planning this trip since Christmas and I would be so upset if my back, THAT I have been TRYING to get fixed for SIX MONTHS now becomes a vacation stopper!Anyway...I don't really travel much...Going to gardengirl house is about as far as I travel LoL...But it is so fun every time I go!! Maybe it is because I prefer to stay home all the time...or maybe the lack of money...or maybe the lack of mental ability...but I would love to change that part of life and travel more...perhaps that should be a bucket list item...when I start my bucket list on actual paper lol I have it in my head...but not on paper!! Now I wanna travel more....ahhhh...maybe this prompt will PROMPT me to do just that!! |
| 1. What animated character do you consider yourself to be most like and in what way Oh my....this one is different....lol.... I guess I would be most like Spongebob LOL...BECAUSE He is naive in many ways, very caring, and always helping his friends out and always learning lessons.... That is me...very much so...I may not live in a pineapple under the sea..bahaha.... but I can relate to his character...I care very much about my close friends...they mean more to me then my own family, because they are the ones there...(not m family)....I am VERY naive....omg...there is so much I am naive about...things I should have been taught growing up but I wasn't because of the way I was raised...I am almost 38 and am learning things I should have known by 13....but that is ok because I am learning things from a way different point of view on life. I am learning things that will be with me forever....memories! I am ALWAYS learning life lessons..everyday I learn something new..I am constantly a sponge and trying to soak up all the things I can in life...get it..a sponge...SpongeBob..bahaha...I giggled.... Anyway I am sure some people will pick super heroes or something like that..but I am more like Sponge Bob because of his character traits..we are similar in many ways...I feel like I am nothing like a super hero....I am just plain and simple me...Someone who tries to love life everyday, a new adventure every day.....someone who loves his best friend (Patrick and poor Squidward) LoL....but that is me...I would and will do anything for my closest friends~~ SpongeBob is still pretty cool....I don't care what anyone says..lol |
| 34. What are your hopes and dreams for 2016? Ahhhh I have so many...I want to lose weight, I want to get out of debt, I want to have my health improve, I want to stand up to Satan (aka My Mom)...I was to go visit Patrece ~ ...I want to do work on this house, I want to make my flowers and crafts really take off. II want to get my books started...I want to a new laptop..I want to be appreciated and acknowledged for all that I do around here..I want a thank you once in awhile and maybe even some help...I want to already do another Give It 100...It has truly inspired me so much! I soooooooo very much want to be promoted to next case color!!!!Now let us REALLY dream...I wanna win a s*** ton of money and buy things I never get to buy...like some new clothes.....or better yet...pay off my bills so I don't have to worry about getting some utility shut off....Ahh the struggle IS REAL FOLKS.... Mostly, I want to follow my dreams...wherever they may take me...it is time to follow them..and stop letting others tell me what to do!! Yea! LOL |
| 33. What was your favorite memory from 2015? 2015 was a rough year HOWEVER there were some good memories...one of my favorite ones would have to be when my oldest daughter, Alexis, graduated high school with a scholarship, her cna license and a full time job all BEFORE she was 18!!~ When she turned 18 she moved out with her girlfriend into their first place together..AND they became engaged!! Oh and she also got promoted to manager at her job at KFC/Taco Bell...we talked and decided that while she does her first year of college, before she enters the nursing program, that she should not start in a nursing home or home health aide yet. Till she can make sure that she can manage full time school and keep her grades up as well as juggle a job in the medical field. But honestly, she is getting paid pretty darn good money as a manager! I am so proud of her for all of her accomplishments! She has grown into a smart and caring young woman who can and will do anything that she puts her mind to~ I love that every time Satan (aka-my mom) tells me what a s***ty mom that I am I can look at my kid (KIDS) and know that I have done a hell of a goof job raising them alone for the past 9 years!! Proud mama right here...regardless of what ANYONE says~~ |
| 32. What are you most proud of this past year? Oh my gosh...it would honestly have to be making the choice to come back to WDC!! I was a member her about 8 years ago or so and was here for about a year...then I went through the divorce and all that, so my writing got pushed aside for several years...I finally was able to start writing again so I came back...I NEVER in a million years would have thought that this decision would be one that changed my life so much! I am growing as a writer as well as I have made some of the most amazing friends here who are now family! Friendships that will last a lifetime..undying support, guidance, advice, help, caring and kindness was what I was welcomed with and it made me feel amazing! I have started blogging for the first time and I love it..I have wrote outside my usual style..I am slowly learning more and more each day! I am proud that I overcame my anxiety about getting on here, I was afraid of not being accepted or judged..then I when I became a member..OMG...I was so warmly welcomed and greeted...offered help, advice and support. I feel like I finally have somewhere that I can say I belong to.... For that...I am proud! |
| 31. Have you ever wished for something that came true? I think that as we go through life we all wish for things...from winning the lottery to bringing back someone that you have lost...I know that there are probably hundreds of dollars worth of pennies that I spent on wish after wish...wishing my wishes would come true.. And then I realized one day...that something that I wished for DID come true...I finally met a man that loves me for me and loves my kids as his own....accepts who and what I am....He is honest, loyal, trusting, kind, caring and has taught me so much! He has opened my eyes up to the things that I did not get to do as a child...fishing, camping, horse back riding...He has taught me patience and to stop and smell the roses. I believe that we were meant to be...I am almost 38 and he is 56...he has taught me to slow down and I have taught him to open his eyes and mind more about certain things in life...We help build and support each other..we work as a team at everything we do. He was my missing link in life...once I found him, I became complete...and so did our family...he has been helping me raise my kids for the past 4 years and he does more for them then their real father has ever done! He is a good man, and that is hard to find..I am very lucky, thankful and grateful! So I guess that wishes do come true...you may just have to spend a lot of pennies to get there! |
| 30. Are you afraid of any animal and why? I LOVE animals of all sorts...I cannot say that I run in fear of a certain animal though. I really do not like insects and spiders too much...(however skeeters LOVE my ass..literally) Ha Ha...but I am not one of those girly ones who sees a spider or a mouse and stands on a chair screaming like I am being hacked up by a serial killer LoL I have been around a very wide variety of animals from land to sea...I know the ones that can hurt and kill me of course...I suppose that if I was to come face to face with a bear, lion, gator or whatever that..Um HELL yea I would be afraid LoL But can I say that there is a certain animal that I am truly afraid of.....no, I cannot. I even like snakes and lizards LoL However I will say, I used to work in an exotic reptile and bird store years ago....I loved it! always had a cockatoo bird on my shoulder or a snake around my neck as I worked..one of the yucky jobs was cleaning the snake cages after they had been feed and digested and done their business...well I had to get out this 6 1/2 foot long albino snake with red eyes...(not a fan of the red eyed animals lol)..You had to put a towel over their eyes and grab them and transfer them into a bin with a lid while you cleaned the cage. Well...I got his face covered with the towel and when I went to grab him his tail flipped the towel off his eyes and he latched into my hand..hard....Like that snake was very pissed and very serious about letting me know. I was froze in shock that I had this over 6 foot snake biting my hand...one of the other workers came over and helped get him to let go. Luckily it was not to serious of an injury, just had a really sore hand for awhile!! That experience made me more cautious when I handle snakes...but does not make me afraid of them! My dog is my best furbaby friend....LoL.I am a animal lover 100% |
| 29. Name one trait your best friend has that you wish you had and tell us why. This is a question that is meaningful to me...I keep very much to myself and truly only consider 4 people close friends....and only 2 of them are my BEST friends...so I am going to have to answer this question about those 2 lovely ladies!! I will start with gardengirl....Ahhh..this woman...Ha Ha...Love her to the moon and back! We have been best friends for 19 years now and still going strong. No matter the distance between us it has never affected our closeness or our bond! A trait that she has that I wish I had, is her determination...I know that there have been many times when I have seen her deal with something or go through something that I would have given up on...but not her...she digs deep within herself and finds strength and courage to work through anything thrown her way. She shows determination everyday, even when she thinks that she isn't..she is...and it is inspiring! I am trying to learn to be more determined like her, I need to learn to not give up or quit when things get rough. She is a huge influence on my life!! And I am lucky and so beyond grateful that she is a part of my life! Patrece ~ is my other best friend..we met on WDC and instantly bonded...in sooo many ways that it's crazy!! I feel like I have found my long lost sister...someone I have always needed but did not know existed. A trait of hers that I wish I had was her courage...She has faced many things in life that would make me fall apart..but Patrece ~ stares things in the face and stands her ground...courage helping her make life changing decisions in life, courage has allowed her to free herself from things in life that have tried to keep or bring her down. Yet she will stand up for what she believes in...being strong. I lack courage to confront certain things in my life at this point...I am slowly learning with her help, to work on building up my courage. She as well, is an inspiration and I love her dearly! So thankful that we met and connected SO strongly! Cannot wait to visit her this summer!! I am very happy with having so few friends...it is about quality not quantity!! I could not ask for better friends and I hope that they both know just how much I value our friendships and how much they both mean to me! Love you both!! |
| 28. Describe your school and the influence it had/didn't have on you. Eewwwww....that scary word..school...My favorite thing in school was English, Reading, Writing, Language Arts...HATE math so bad. School was rough for me...my mom switched me several times so had to learn to try to fit in again at a new school...finally when I went into 10th grade I started the work program at my school. I went to school for a hour or 2 in the morning and then worked a full time job. I worked at Richard Potasky Jewelers..years ago they were big like Rogers is....I was the highest paid student in my school and I loved my job. I worked there all through high school and got my diploma. I was not great in school..I struggled with a few subjects....but I managed to get through it. Because I am not a quitter and I wanted that diploma and damnit...I did it! My kids know it is required that they stay in school and graduate by me...I did not quit school when I wanted to and with a great job so none of mine will either!! My high school was in a very small town...they taught farming classes if that says anything. LoL I endured it and earned my diploma and I was pretty damn proud of myself! I tried college...it just seems school really is not my strong point....and that is ok... |
