8 Things I Am Putting Off

March 18, 2015

This was one of the prompts from last weeks writers workshop that I didn’t get a chance to finish the post so I figured I would post it this week because I still wanted to write about it. I hate that I don’t have the time to blog lately but that is what happens when someone is gone at work and I am left to do try and do their job along with my own job. Anyway lets get on to the the 8 things I am putting off.

Reading books that I have on my Kindle & Nook.
Designing a new look for this blog.
Getting post written that I keep in my rain day file for days I don’t have time to write a post for that day.
Calling & taking my cats to the vet.
Making an appointment to see an eye doctor about my eyes.
Backing up my laptop to my external hard drive.
Printing off invoice copies for the salesmen that I work with. It isn’t hard it just takes time and I don’t want to be bothered by it.
Cleaning my bedroom. I always want to get to it on the weekends but I end up playing and chasing my nephew on Saturday & Sunday so it never gets done.

Those are 8 things I am putting off doing because I either don’t have the time to do them or I don’t want to do them. What are you putting off doing?

Things That Made Me Smile This Week

February 19, 2015

This week for the writers workshop I am going to write about number 2 which is something that made me smile this week. Instead of just writing about one thing I am going to list several things that made me smile so far this week.

The first thing that has made me smile is this stray cat that I feed at work. He eats funny and always makes me smile when I watch him. I am going to include a video & picture so you can see what I am talking about.

The second thing that has made me smile this week is my own cats. They are always doing something silly and they always make the days better because even if I have had a super bad day when I go home they don’t judge or care what happened to me. They always love me no matter what which is nice.
The third thing that has made me happy this week was getting my nails done yesterday. I always love getting my nails done because the lady that does my nails has become one of my best friends so it is always a good time.
The fourth thing that has made me smile is thinking back to Saturday when we were watching my nephew and all the crazy things that he does. It is so fun to interact with him now but it is a lot more work and if I am being honest I don’t have the energy to really keep up with him anymore. I play with him for a little bit and then I go lay down. I just keep seeing over and over that I don’t have the energy to be a mom (I will have an MS update coming up sometime next week).
The final thing that made me smile this week was paying off all of my credit card debt!!!! I am going to wait a few months to see what happens at work but I am hoping since it is all paid off that I will be able to afford to get an iMac by the summer time. Those of you who know me know I love Apple products so I want an iMac so bad it isn’t funny.

Anyway those are the things that made me smile this week. What made you smile this week?

Here are rest of the prompts for this week incase you want to join in:

1. Throwback Thursday: Choose a photo from a previous February and write a poem or a blog post.
2. Something that made you smile this week.
3. Write about something mean you did to a sibling growing up.
4. Write a blog post inspired by the word: red.
5. List 10 things you never knew until you were a mom.
6. Write a 26-line poem using all the letters of the alphabet, where the first line starts with the letter “A,” the second “B,” the third “C,” etc., culminating with the final line starting with “Z.”

Quotes I Love-Writer Workshop

December 11, 2014

This weeks for the writers workshop I am going to write about number 1 which is a quote I love. As some of you may know I post a quote every week because I love quotes and I love to share quotes that I love with other people. If you want to check those out you can click here and scroll through them. The one quote I have loved since I heard it is:
I love this quote because it is so true. I first saw this quote after I had my daughter and I struck me as true because I never thought I would be able to place my daughter for adoption. Like I always say when people ask me how I get through life “I don’t have an option but to keep going because I can’t just die”. You just have to put one foot in front of the other and know that in time things will pass.

Here are a few other quotes that I am loving right now:

Writers Block?!?

November 16, 2014

I was looking at NaBloPoMo page where they list prompts for the whole month of November looking for ideas because I really wanted to try and post everyday in November and so far I have managed to do it. Anyway I saw this prompt and knew I wanted to write about it; Have you ever had extended writers’ block? How long did it last? What did you do to break out of it, and do you have tips for other bloggers?

I remember one time where I had writers block for months and months. I am not really sure what I did to get over it. I know that I stopped blogging around the time of my daughters birthday. I took most of the summer and fall off and start up again I want to say in January. I know I stopped because I was depressed and just didn’t feel the motivation to blog.

I remember that in January I felt the urge to blog again and I haven’t really stopped since then. I do have days where the last thing I want to do is blog and I have other days where I want to write something but I can’t think of anything to write.

As for tips that may help other bloggers break out of it the one thing I can say is find something you are passionate about. I know on days where I am struggling to write if I find a topic that I am excited about I can write a whole post is recorded time. Where as other days if I am not interested in the post I am writing it can take days to finish the post.

Those are a few of my thoughts on writers block. How to overcome writers block?

Writers Workshop-Show and Tell

November 13, 2014

This week for the writers workshop I am going to write about number 1 which is something I brought for show and tell. When I saw this prompt I was pissed that I still don’t have the thing I brought to school a few times. I had kept if for years and years and a few years ago I figured it was time to let them finally go.

I guess I should tell you all what I brought. If you are squeamish you might want to just skip to the end because I am sure this will gross out some people. I got my tonsils out the summer before I started the 2nd grade and the doctor let me keep them so I would always bring them because it would gross people out. I always thought it was so cool to have them and be able to show other people. I am not one that gets easily grossed out so I thought it was funny when other people did get grossed out.

I also brought my cat a few times as well. I wasn’t ever a huge fan of show and tell because I hated getting up in front of the class and having to talk to everyone. To this day I still hate public speaking and getting up in front of people but that is a topic for another post one day.

What is one thing you remember bringing to school for show and tell?

This weeks prompts:

1. Something you brought for show and tell.
2. November 3rd is National Housewife’s Day…how did you celebrate?
3. The meaning of your name…does it suit you?
4. Tell us about something new you learned last month.
5. Share a list of some of your most recent favorite things.
6. What was your favorite song when you were 16 years old…is it still a favorite?
