Drug Addictions

This week for the writers workshop I picked to write about 2.) Amy Winehouse died. Another name amidst a growing list of talented celebrities lost to addiction. Your reaction.

It makes me sad to hear about anyone who dies because of their addictions. There are tons of people each year that die because of addictions and yet people only seem to care about the celebrities. It makes me sad to know that people do die because their brains think they need the drugs and alcohol. When I in college the fall Sophomore year, which is the same sememster that I got pregnant, I moved into a new dorm apartment and I was living with 2 drug addicts. I would go home on weekends because I worked at Kmart by my parents house. I would leave on Friday afternoons and when I got back Sunday night they were still on the couch when they had been when I left. I was going home for Thanksgiving and I realized that I hadn't seen the roommate what was staying in the dorms for the holiday. After I left I knew something was wrong so I called the housing office and had them go and check on her. By the time I got home which was 45 minutes later or so I got a call from one of the campus cops I knew that they found her dead. She was big into prescription drugs. The night before she had passed out on her bathroom floor but she was breathing and I refused to babysit grow adults. When I woke up in the morning she wasn't there anymore so I figured she had moved into her room.

It was such a shock to realize that her addictions killed her. I still look back and I can see what was happening and I watched her get in so deep with her addiction that it killed her. I moved home during Christmas break and I have always wondered what ever happened to the other roommate. I know she was into drugs heavy as well and I wonder if they killed her or if she is still around. I always hoped that she got sober but I doubt that she did. I hate to hear about other people that die because of their addictions because it is such a waste of a life. They miss out on so much all because of a drug they think they need to survive.

We need to focus more on the everyday people that die then on the celebrities that pass way. It is sad that they die but they do have more resources to get sober if they want to. Average people don't have the resources that celebrities do to get sober. We need to make more programs for people that need/want to get sober.

That post is random but that is how my brain works! I hope everyone has a great Thursday!

New Designs- Life With Twins & a Drama Queen

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Margaret at The world as I see it. I'm sure you notice my blog had some much need plastic surgery. This was all thanks to Margaret. She did a amazing job and I would recommend her to everyone that needs a new blog, web, or facebook design. She was SUPER understanding and a great person to work with (Fast, easy to communicate with). I am a super picky kind of person and a little pain in the butt about what I like and how I like it, with Margaret it was like she knew me for years and knew what I wanted. She made sure I was HAPPY and stayed up a few nights late trying to figure out and make things perfect for me. Every Email was answer fast, respectful and with patience. You can tell she LOVES, what she does and enjoys it. Her prices are VERY affordable.

Mrs. Undomestic Design#2

Look around, what do you think? See all the wonder that is my site design? Well Margaret, over at The World As I See It did her magic around here again! She did the original site design at blogger and I loved it, so she was on the top of my to-do list when it came to the new site.
I have to admit, things did not go as smoothly as one hopes, but Margaret handled it extremely well. She brought over the designs I wanted and set it up incredibly well. I know for a fact that she was up a good chunk of the night working on it so it could be up and running as fast as possible. It looks like I want it to look and it happened because of her.
If you are looking for a designer for WordPress or Blogger, I highly recommend Margaret. She works fast, she works hard and she gives you what you want for a reasonable price. Check out her site, including her pricing for your own site design over at The World As I See It

Simple Things

This week for the Writers Workshop I am going to write about 1.) The simple things..

It is the simple things in life that make me happy:

Going home and chasing my girls around the house

Or listening to Sylvia "bark" like she is a dog

Hanging out with Misti just talking and laughing

Designing blogs for people

Laughing at the crazy things that people will say or do

Being around my grandma who can always make me laugh

Blogging

Reading good books

With out all the simple things that make me happy life would be depressing!

Alone

Lately I have been feeling alone and I am not sure what has changed because I am doing the same things I have always done. I am for the most part a hermit but it usually doesn't bother me. I am sure part of it is because I used to have Misti at work to talk with and what not. Now that they let her go I am the only girl and I just sit at my desk and I don't have people to really talk to. I sit at my desk and answer the phones all day without anyone around to talk to. Then when I get home I go back to my room because I have designs that I need to get done so I am always alone. Most days being alone wouldn't bug me but lately it is starting to get to me. I know I should go out more but I am so tired after work and on the weekends that I don't want to. I have never been good at forcing myself to out either.

This post is super short but it is what I was thinking. I hope that it makes some sort of sense but if not oh well.

Sponsor's and Advertising

If you are looking for ways to get more traffic to your blog advertising is the way to go. Every time I have an ad on other peoples blogs I get so many more people dropping by to see what my blog is all about. I have several different packages you can pick from:

125x125 Button is $10 a month or $25 for 3 months

200x400 Banner is $20 for one month or $50 for 3 months

I will also be including a featured post about your blog and/or business. I will include any pictures links and anything else you would like. I will tweet about it and put it on Facebook on my fan page and also on my person page. I can also send out a newsletter to all my followers about your blog or business.

Since I am just starting I am going to give the first 6 people that are interested 3 more months free on top of what ever package you chose.
