Only 2 more days until NaNo begins, and I am very excited, but also nervous since this is my first year to participate! I did tell one of my friends about NaNo, but he said he had a lot of college things to do and couldn't participate. That's okay though! I plan on staying up the whole first night with lotss of coffee and energy drinks. I have a small plan, but we shall see if I stick to it.

As for everything else, things are going great! I'm living with my Aunt, enjoying the single life, and having the freedom of my own transportation. For the past couple of weeks, I have been job searching at the local mall and businesses. I had an interview on Tuesday at the Disney Store. It went great and there is promise, just waiting on the background check, which I will pass with flying colors! Jan 19th I start college for the first time ever and I am excited!

As fr writing projects, I have several that I am running through my head, but the one I have been working on, I have written 142 pages, Not typed, but hand written for over a year! Wow! It is dragging son I put it away and will come back to it, but I refuse to toss it, even if it is crap, which of course it is. Other than that, I am waiting for NaNo and the excitement is building!

Always,
Pyper
 

Things are going great and I am getting slowly back into the rhythm of writing again! It feels great, and I have missed writing. I am going to start back up on my 72 page story and soon post more of the chapters up within the next couple of weeks. I am also going to be reopening my Huggies review forum and Fantasy challenge contest as soon as I get enough GP's!

Right now I am reading Eragon. Read it before but reading it again so I can read the 2nd and 3rd book. I feel complete because I am getting back into the things I love the most. I hope to be entering a writing contest from Writer's Digest. I got to go to Barnes and Noble today and looked at some books, making a list of what I wanted when I have the money!

As far as everything else, things are going somewhat better. Talked more to Martin about things, even the electric bill which is still in my name but I'm fine with that for now, I guess. Tomorrow night I am going to an adult party with a friend. It will be fun, and then Sunday, I am going to see my great grandmother who will be turning the big 101. So overall it will be a very busy weekend. Well I guess that is all for now.

Always,
Pyper
 

It has been a long week and has seemed like a long week. It was only Wensday and I kept thinking it was Monday. Five people got kicked out of the program today and I was rather shocked at how everything happened. I guess this hasn't been much of a good week for anyone here really. I have been emotionally distracted and it has affected my work and moods. I got called into Kat's office for being late this morning at work and leaving the movie today after lunch.she said I have been slacking and Martin had brought it to her attention out of concern. I wish he would have came to me about it but I guess I have been emotionally distant from him the past 2 weeks. Now I know why they say why not to get involved with co-workers especially your boss. It has been pretty intense around him and I'm not sure why I have been feeling uncomfortable with it lately. Ty came back into the picture and that might be why. We are not committed but I did put my name on his electric bill and We have been swing each other on the weekends but he said I could date. I think that was when things began to change. I am not sure where things are headed but I'm going to take it one day at a time. I have been taking things more than one day at a time. I got a lot of thinking to do but other than that I am doing great.
 

It seems so long ago since I've really been able to dedicate myself to this site. I have been extremely busy and I am hopefully able to come back full speed. A lot has happened since I last blogged. Been going to meetings, got a job at subway but was fired within 2 weeks. I guess it was not meant to be, but that's okay I will try again. Ty and I are back together (sort of) but I am trying to straighten out this mess that I put myself in with a 40 year old man. He's a nice guy but we are on different pages of life. So I'm going to talk to him this week and try to get my name off his electric bill. I do like him but my heart is for Ty. Or maybe I'm just seeking the familar and am afraid of the unknown. I don't know. I will write more details soon, but I'm glad to be back. Got so much to do and look forward too. Oh and I had my site 1 year birthday not too long ago. Yay!
 

Well it has been awhile since I have been able to get on WDC to do anything! Hopefully that will change soon. So I am doing well. I have been busy in my recovery program. I absolutely love it where I am now. It is definetly home to me. Every day I have to wake up at 7:00am and be in the kitchen by 7:30. That is where I work and I absolutely love my job since it keeps me busy. I usually don't get done until 5:30pm or 6:00. Then at 6:30 I have to be at a meeting until 7:30. I also go to outside AA meetings on Tuesdays and Thursdays and usually don't get back until 10:00pm. On Wensdays and Sundays I go to church. I love the church I go to and I feel so much closer to God than I ever have.

So my ex fiancée and I are going to get back together but we are going to do it slowly this time. He is very proud of me as is the rest of my family. I am very proud of him. He has a new job that he likes and he has a company vehicle and phone. They are a new company. My dad is not happy that we are talking again but that's okay. Anyway, I thought I would give you guys an update. I hope to be able to start doing reviews again soon.
 

So the last time I had written I was in a lot of pain and was at the hospital or going to it. I got my medication. I knew it was my sciatica. Well Saturday I purposely ODed on my meds. And when my fiancée found out he was pissed and put me in a cold shower and then punched a whole in the wall. I do admit I should have been stronger than my pain, but I couldn't function. I couldn't stand, sit, or lay down without extreme pain and numbingness running down my leg. So my fiancée broke up with. Please remember that this is all in a nutshell.they didn't know how to help me , and I didn't know how to help me. So they brought me to what is called the Jesus House. It's a drug and alchohol rehilbilitation program that also helps with mental disorders.

I was doing good, considering the pain with it finally gone. They gave me a job and I work in the kitchen for 3 shifts: 7:00, 11:00, and 3:00 pm and at 6:30pm. I have to go to an AA meeting, which is required as part of my program. I'm an achoholic and an addict. So Im trying to get my life back in order.

Well today as I was working my 11:00am shift. I was bending down to put up some salt and pepper and that's when the pain came and I collasped. My supervisor had watched the whole thing and he asked if I needed to go to the doctor and I said no. I just need my muscle relaxers. I couldn't stand without assistance. So he went and got two cops and our counselor, Kat. They helped me into a chair and the pain was extreme. I couldn't get comfortable. So Kat went and got my muscle relaxer and after a while it began to ease the pain. I'm not sure what Im going to have to do, but back surgery will be my LAST resort.

I am sorry that I haven't been consistant on my reviews, but I will be. I have to do it the old way through my iPhone and write out the reviews by hand, but I enjoy it. So please, those who are waiting for reviews I WILL get to you as soon as I can. I do apologize again. Now I feel a little better that I have that off of my chest. I do ask that you please pray for me. I am praying for myself and others, but I asking for prayers now. Thank you all for being such a wonderful family!
 

A few days ago as we were moving into our new place, I somehow managed to put my back out of place, well more like my hip. It was hurting before, but it gradually got worse. The next morning I couldn't even get out of bed without excrutiating pain and muscle spasms. I went to the hospital and all they gave me were pain killers and muscle relaxers. I can't function without them. I haven't been in pain like this in years! I'm assuming that my hip is out of place. I won't know until I get an MRI done. But I can't do that until I get proper insurance. Ugh! It's so frustrating, and Im just tired of being in pain!
 

So, it seems as though I've been slacking. I have been so tired lately, and this weekend we are packing. Yep, we are moving, yet again! However, this time the place will be much bigger. I saw it, and I love it. It is a two bedroom duplex with lots of space, as well as a back yard, and no stairs to climb. The no stairs to climb is a huge plus factor for me! We still have the same land lord, but he was nice enough to let us live in one of his old places. It's right by his business, which is a pizza place. So he can keep an eye on us to make sure we are safe.

At these apartments, he didn't want a single mother with three younger ones living in the bottom apartments. He's afraid that there could be drive-bys, but so far our apartments haven't experienced any. He is a really nice man once you get to know him. But I just can't see how one man can have two wives, even if he is from a different culture. I just can't fathom it. Oh well, it's not my business.

So, back to the slacking story, I have been tired here lately. For some reason as well, I keep somehow getting myself injured. I got my elbow bruised really bad a couple of weeks ago, which wasn't my fault. I went to the plasma place and they infiltrated my arm, making me loose a sufficient amount of blood. And a couple of days ago, I spilled some hot liquidy soup all across my arm while trying to get it out of the microwave. It ended up being a 2nd degre burn with lots of blistering. The blisters have finally popped, and now I have my arm wrapped. We all had a good laugh over it, including myself after the heat was extracted from my arm.

Anyway, sorry if it seems like I'm complaining but I'm not, just venting my frustrations out. I need to get back into gear, but the best thing that has happened so far was that two days ago it was both of my dad's birthday's, and we are moving into a bigger place. I'm excited! I plan on kicking back into gear this week. Might get a few reviews in before I finally fall asleep, but I won't promise myself that. Until next time....

Au Revoir!
 

I love this song. It is so sad and powerful! She is amazing, and her voice is too. It's one of favorite songs! She's actually crying in the video.

So mama filled out her taxes and got her check in last night. We are able to get the rest of our rent paid for and get insurance on both vehicles. We are also moving out of our apartment into a bigger one with 2 bedrooms instead of one. It would have been good for us living in a one bedroom apartment, but not with 4 people. It is just too small, and we couldn't afford a bigger apartment, but our land owner will be able to work with us as he always has because we pay rent on time or try too. She will also tryt to sale her ex husband's motorcycle which is in her name. That will help us pay bills that he didn't pay, which was in her name, but he had kiocked us out and we were no longer living there. But now he's doing drugs and he won't be able to get his bike out of the pawn shop or so we hope. So overall things are going well for us, but we are also trying not to spend our money all in one go, just trying to catch up.

Well, I finally have my own review forum started. I love it and the banner is sooo cute! I am thinking about starting up a groupd with the same name as well. I have a contest which one person has entered thus far, and I was very surprised by their entry and enjoyed the read. I will have thier review to them as soon as possible.

Oh, and I cut my hair. It's a home made cut, and it looks great. Nothing beats better than a home made hair cut. It's a dike cut and it lookms great! Everone likes it and they say it makes me look older, which is what I want. I'm in my 20's and when I had longer hair everyone thought I was 16. Now I look in my 20's. I will eventually regrow my hair, but right now I love it. My mother would flip if she knew, so I might avoid her since she lives 4 hours away. I only see her a few times a year anyway, sometimes not at all, so that won't be unusual.

As for my novel in progress, I am writing the middle of chapter 8. I hope to have it finished by the middle of next week. Thank you everyone who has reviewed the previous chapters. You guys have pointed out some helpful things. Thank you.

Last of all, earlier this week I somehow managed to break the coffee pot, and now I can only have instacoffee until we get a new coffee pot. Ugh! It doesn't taste like the real thing but I guess beggers can't be choosers. Haha. I would rather have something, rather than nothing.
