So tired...

Been a crazy week. Didn't even get to talk about Doctor Who this week and I can honestly say at this point not too sure what happened but it was good just like every episode. Little bit worried about this week having the weeping angels, they rank very low on my list of good episodes. Thinking back I realize though that the original episode with River Song and the angels was probably one of the very first episodes that I watched and part of what hooked me on the magical adventures of a mad man and a blue box.

I didn't get to sleep last night...I slept but it wasn't the sleep that you need to get up and go to work and be functional at five o'clock. I felt like a puppy chasing my tail for most of the afternoon. I have so much to do this weekend and I'm not even sure if I'm going to get it done. I just want to sleep and I almost didn't get up from the nap that I  took when I got home, but I need to eat and definitely need a shower.

I also have a new book that I am reading that admittedly I bought based on the cover and when you see the cover you will completely understand. It is called Clara and Mr. Tiffany  and when you see the cover you will understand. The picture does it no justice and if you can stop by a bookstore and take a peak do so. I was drawn to this book based on the cover and automatically flipped it over to see what the story line was. This one is historic fiction based on the life of Clara Driscoll and her work for Louis Comfort Tiffany. I have my eyes on a set of Tiffany style lamps that use the famous dragonfly pattern. If I can snap a few pics I will load them over the weekend.

love ya!

Working out the kinks...

I haven't been on in awhile because I have been having Internet problems and I just don't have the patience to try and type anything out on my smart phone. So when I do have access I am desperately trying to catch up on Facebook and what I mean is trying to catch up on my Pioneer Trail game. Yes I am a bit of  a Pioneer Trail addict, and don't you dare ask me if it is Farmville. It is not the same .

Talking about catching up means that I am trying amazingly hard to just keep up with the fact that every time I finish one quest they come out with five or six more to replace it. I am still trying to complete the ones from Halloween last year and it is almost time for those to come around again. Pretty much I am always behind where my friends are and never seem to catch up.

I just try to finish one thing at a time and go on. I think that they only things that I have finished are the Thanksgiving and Christmas quests which put me behind on the Valentine's Day, Memorial Day and all the other ones that have come out.

So just like in the rest of my life always one step behind. In other news though I am trying to get back into a groove on writing in general because that seems to be the one thing that keeps me going. I have noticed in the last ten plus years that anytime I am working on writing something I can keep my weight down and  under control the minute I stop writing I gain weight. In the fifteen years since I really have felt a calling to write I have gained over 100 pounds and lost and gained some. It makes me sad to think about the fact that at five foot seven and 122 pounds I thought that I was fat. That is what society has taught us that it isn't acceptable. I am the shortest of all my cousins on both sides of my family. I come from a family where most everyone has hit the six foot mark and are long and lanky. My grandma and her six sisters all played basketball in school, so really to be five-seven and over 200 pounds is a little disappointing. I hate to just kinda start something and leave but I have a few things to get together before I have to go to bed. Hopefully again tomorrow I will get something up here, maybe talk a little more about my family. Maybe talk about writing not really sure. I am working on a new story because well I have issues with finishing a story.

love ya!

Doctor Who & Signatures

I will admit that the opening of Doctor Who did not disappoint. I really did like the character of Oswin that was introduced and I am uncertain of her future on the show. I am unsure of whether she will be the new companion but it would make for some interesting plot lines if they do keep her. I will be sad to see Rory and Amy go this season and I hope that it will be later in the season so that I can be more prepared.

I have yet to get online and do a little more research but I could have sworn the other day on Pinterest I saw a complete Doctor Who series on DVD, and when I say complete I mean as complete as you can get going back to the beginning.

I had a little fun tonight adding a signature. Just to kick it up a notch make it more fun to get on here and write. I really just have to start forcing myself to get on here. I have a few posts I need to write or finish writing, need to get on that 30 before 30 list because well I don't have as much time as I think that I have. Especially when there are so many other things going on.

Saturday night...

I am ready for Doctor Who to start. This is how I plan to spend my Saturday nights this fall. On the couch watching Doctor Who and possibly eating fish fingers but not with custard.

love ya!

Finally Friday...

It is most certainly Friday and boy am I thankful for that. It has been a truly long week and having a holiday in the middle did not make it any better. I'm glad that it was a day off but it just seemed to make it that much longer before it ended. Then again that makes me wish that I worked a job that gave me a real weekend but then again I know better than to complain about having a job. I could have no job right now.

There are so many things going on right that I don't know where to start. I am still working on my 30 before 30 list which has gone by the wayside in favor of other books that I did not put on the list because they came in after I finished the list. I have started reading the Dreamhouse Kings series and I really can't wait to go out and buy the second one because the first one just seems to end all of a sudden. Then I have to go out and find the sequel to Evil Genius because it was pretty awesome and I'm not really sure where the next one is going to go because it just didn't seem wrapped up at the end.

I really shouldn't complain about a story ending and not being wrapped up at the end because I know that there are several things that I've written that just end and I ended them where I did because they just seemed to be perfect where they stood. This was also a bit of a plot device because I wanted the reader to feel the same way the character did just lost, to know the feeling issues being unresolved. 

Back to the 30 before 30, I will be writing about all the books that I read just to make me work more at blogging more instead of schlepping around Facebook playing childish games that have me swamped or on Pinterest looking at things I can't afford, fit into or am too lazy to exercise or cook. Then again anyone who has been on Pinterest knows that it will suck you in and never let you go if you let it.

I am also in the process of having to move everything over from my old laptop to me new one that dear sweet Just a Boy bought me as an early birthday present. I am really loving it even though it doesn't sound like it because I just downloaded antivirus onto my computer and all that good stuff. But I will admit that Google Chrome is the most kick butt awesome thing that you can have as far as internet goes because after downloading it logging in there tonight are all of my favorites and bookmarks are there waiting for me. Passwords though are not and I have successfully locked myself out of my online bank account. So Tuesday morning I will be making a trip to the bank to see what it takes to get it unlocked. It also doesn't help that I think that there has been some kind of change to something that I was not completely aware of because the letter looked like one of those generic we will not sell your information letters you get all the time, soooo I didn't exactly read it. Then I think really by the time that I realized it I had already locked myself out and it obviously has an indefinite lock out period. Which blows and I will have to come up with a new password even though I'm not really sure which one I got wrong. 

Anyway it is getting a little past my bedtime since I do have to go to work and some people have a tendency to call in sick as much as they want. I just hope that doesn't have to because since there was a holiday I don't get overtime pay but I still have 30 minutes overtime already and not really sure how that works since I don't remember being early or any of that good stuff this week. I think though I have been on time more this week because I have been dragging myself out of bed in the morning and being extremely grouchy and sluggish. 

Must exercise more to keep this from happening as often but I do enjoy my sleep much more than when I am exercising. Too much work for so little sweat. It takes a ridiculous amount of anything to make me sweaty. I also sweat in the worst places like under my knees, not the backs but between the knee and the shin that is where I sweat and is really gross. Ankles are pretty sweaty too. Not too many other places sweat but then again I would have to work harder to get that to happen. 

So much to do so little time to do it all.

love ya!

So long....

I know that it has been a long time since I just sat down and thought about what I wanted to write. I know that I'm not the best and sticking with anything for long periods of time without there being any reward. There is  no reward for this, I have very few followers and probably won't ever have many.

I am currently struggling with that end of the school year lag. My brother is graduating from high school so I am pulling all kinds of stops out. I am currently working on a t-shirt quilt that is taking up the better portion of my living room. I have silk flowers for prom flowers all over my dining room table. I am exhausted to a point where I really don't know what to do other than cry. I know that I need to take a shower, do laundry, fold clothes, wash dishes, clean the fridge and sleep until my brother graduates from college.

I have been neglecting being on here in favor of reading other blogs just because well it is easier to see what others are writing about instead of actually just sitting here working on something for myself. I guess really I am trying to find out who I am right now in this blogging world. Do I want to blog about my life? Blog my clothes? The very slow and unmotivated weight loss journey that I am on? Crafts? Books? There are just so many options and I don't know what to do.

Really my life has never been about any kind of control, I just wander aimlessly around waiting for the right thing to hit me at the right time. I hate to sit and rush something because it just feels forced and I know that it sounds forced. No one wants to read drivel that could simply be your own life. I'm not here to just sit and complain about what is going on in my life, but it is hard for me to let people into my personal life because there are so many things that just hurt to talk about. I know that this seems like no where but I am racing the battery right now and I see the screen starting to dim and that means that time is limited. I would like to get to bed before midnight tonight because it has been a few weeks since that has happened. My new smart phone is keeping me awake at night because now I have all these games that I can play at night instead of reading because I don't need a light for the phone. I have finished another book on my thirty before thirty and I guess that means I should sit down and right about what I thought. I need to check and see what books are on that list. I guess at night I could read Hard Times instead of playing games since I downloaded it on the books app.

I am going to try and do this a little more often. I would like to have more than a mass of posts at the beginning of the year, a smattering in the summer months and then this mad dash at the end of the year to make it seem like I don't care about it.

love ya!

Thinking out loud....

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately about family. There are just so many things that you don't really think about until someone else says something to you about it.

Just_a_boy and I both are quite interested in history which leads you to the road of genealogy. Of course that right now just means using Google and whatever free resources there are on the internet. A recent check on, ancestry.com led me to a startling revelation on my family history, okay really not such a revelation but a realization of the past. I guess if your parents were born here in the states you just assume that your family has been here, that your family has always lived in America. On my dad's side of the family that just isn't true...I happen to be just a third generation American. That really isn't that far removed from the old country if you think about it, less than 100 years.
