#Poppit

I am not sure if you guys have heard about Pogo before but let me tell you that I love the site.  I actually have used the site since I was in a freshman in college.  I found it one night when I didn’t want to study so I was looking for something to entertain me because who really wants to study and do homework when you can find a great game to play.

The first game I found on Pogo.com was Poppit and let me tell you to this day I will always play this game.  It is a fast paced game and is so much fun to play when you need to take a break from working or if you are just looking for something to entertain you.  I can’t even tell you the hours I have spent playing this game.  Once I start playing it I forget that anything else is going on in the world.  Since I am writing a post about it all I want to do is stop and play the game instead of work.

I am sure most of you know by now that I always seem to be on the computer working but I also take time to just relax and take time for me and with that time I am always playing games.  Online games are great because they are easy to use and I can also play they from my phone if I happen to be at an appointment or something like that.

I have included the game below so you can play it.  I knew I better put it at the bottom of the post because if I say it at the top of  the post I wouldn’t get to reading the post because I would be to busy playing the game.  You really need to check out Pogo.com and play Poppit!

Changes Over The Last Year

Wow this past year has changed me in so many ways. I can’t even imagine where I would be if my life hadn’t changed that much.  I am going to write about the changes over the last year for me and some of the people in my life. All the changes has been so good for me and also for the people that are in my life.

It was this time last year that they let Misti go at work. I still remember the day they let her go like it was yesterday even though I still wish that is was just a bad dream and that I could wake up for it. I don’t know that it will ever be the same here without her being here. It is even harder to wrap my head around the fact that she has had a baby and is now a mother.

Also anyone who has followed my blog from the start will know that my daughters birthday is coming up and that always makes it a tough time of year for me. I am finding that this year is going to be harder than some of the past years have been. It is always hard to gauge how a year will be for me but I think this is going to be hard for me.

Well that was quite the tangent so lets get back to the post. Other than those things I am still pretty much blogging about the same things. I really haven’t changed what I blog about because I have always just blogged about my life and for the most part my life doesn’t change that much.

How has the past year been for you?

The Band

The Band Back Together Project

I am not sure if everyone knows what The Band is and since I recently started volunteering for them I wanted to write a post about it and introduce to what a great site it is.  I have been reading the stories on Band Back Together since it was started in 2010.  It is an amazing place where you can share stories from your own life of just read others stories and comment.  I haven’t shared any stories from my past yet but it is something that I hope I will be able to write about and have posted over there.

I recently joined the site and I am now volunteering and helping out with the site.  I have met some great people through the site and I have also learned so much.  I love to read others stories and take the lessons that they have learned and apply them in my own life.  It is such a safe place for people to go and write their stories because you don’t have to worry about getting rude and/or mean comments.

We all know there are things that we don’t want to share on our own blogs or that we aren’t at a point where we  can share them openly.  I am personally at the stage where I am not willing to share some parts of my past openly but I am going to share them over there because no one will know it is me.

If you have checked out the site yet please go and stop by because everyone needs to hear nice things and it truly does help the people who have submitted a post.   Also if you would like to volunteer send an email to volunteer at bandbacktogether dot com.  You don’t have to worry about a huge time commitment because you don’t have to do tons of things if you don’t have the time.  Right now I spend a like 30 mins or so a day and that is all.  I am hoping in time I can do more but for now 30 mins is what I have and they are happy with that.

Go check out the site and let me know what you think!

So Creepy

Father’s Day started out like any other Sunday at our house.  I was woken up at about 6:50 or so by my grandparents cat which as I look back on it now should have been my first clue that something wasn’t right.

Anyway back to my story.  I was looking through the Target ad and saw that they had Dr. Pepper on sale so I decided I was going to run over to Target and then come back and work on designs.  As I was getting dressed I heard what sounded like finger nails on the wall under my bed.  The first time I heard it I didn’t think anything of it but when I heard it again I knew that there was something alive under my bed and it wasn’t one of my cats.

I finished getting dressed and then went and told my grandma that I thought there was a mouse or even a bird under my bed.  She came down to my room and started looking under my bed.  I ran to get a flash light and once she turned it on and looked under the bed she saw what was making the noise.

There was a BABY BIRD under my bed and it was very much alive.  Needless to say this immediately freaked me out.  I went and got my grandpa and we started to chase the bird around my room and into my grandparent’s room for the next hour.

Needless to say when we finally caught it my whole room was torn apart and a total mess.  My grandma and I then spent rest of the day cleaning my room and doing laundry since my entire bed had to be moved while we were trying to catch the bird.

Let’s just say I have never had an issue with birds before but now I find them totally creepy and I want nothing to do with them.  I also am going to be sleeping with my door closed because I can’t handle any more critters getting brought into my room!  Oh and it was my grandparents cat Vinnie that brought the bird in because my cats are terrified of birds.

I hope your Father’s Day was tons better than mine!
