I can’t even believe that it is 2014 all ready. Where did last year go?
I accomplished several things last year…..Another year of school over, deans list both times, 2 homes painted and re organized, moved, walked a lot more. Mostly tried to be better to me. I am looking forward to what this year has to offer.
I want to continue taking better care of me. I am going to be a college graduate by May. Im going to travel a bit this year. Going to get back to walking more and riding my bike!!
Im going to continue my bog. Maybe not every single day but i have enjoyed doing it. It also appears that Mr P is a hit amongst my friends.
The snow is coming down today in the 937. It looks beautiful outside. I have been out and about and the roads are not too bad really, side street are bad but if you take your time you can get where your going with little trouble.
My wish for you is that we continue on this journey. Keep our heads up high and take on every day a breath at a time.
Welcome to 2014!
Let do this!

BIRTHDAY MONTH
As the stars would have it November is birthday month for me. So far it has been a good month. I have got to celebrate a friends bday with Waffle House, I have gotten to finish up some loose ends and school is going well.
I got published in the school newspaper. That was a great way to start bday month. I met with an academic advisor to find out that I can graduate this spring! OMG I will finally have a college degree! 2 classes and a capstone to go!
We are finally settling into the new place. No stairs! Life is good.
The life change is still working. the scale has shown no change but the inches are falling off. I have lost 7.75 inches off my body so I am calling that a big win! Love my Fitbit. not walking as much s I use to but still the data I get rocks!
I feel like life is falling into place. Its good and scary all at the same time. So I will remember to breath and be thankful for all that I have. Not just now but everyday.
another chapter in my life is coming to a close but I am looking forward to turning that page to see what will happen next.
Aug 28, 2013 let’s here it for the pup
Today I hung out with little Spud! We kinda laid around and just chilled out.
Was a great day. Treats, walks, playing catch, just some of the things we did!
I love having Spud around to play with!
Looks like I was on Tv at Aunt Kikis house. They were watching old movies of my younger years.
Fun times!
Wonder what were gonna do tomorrow?
schools out and the projects are pilling up
Well Geology didn’t kill me thank God! I even pulled an A out of the class. Not sure how but I’ll take it :0) Got a B in my Com class and I am ok with that too. Which put me on the deans list, which got me a book scholorship. Gotta love that for sure!
I have lots of projects on my plate for summer. I had a huge garage sale, I need to Ebay a bunch of things that just need to go away. I have painting at the house to do, flooring to have someone come and lay, and of course pictures to take! Working on a big scan project as well. Now the dang scanner is putting a digital line on the pictures and I cant get tech support on the phone so I am waiting on a email back. I hate waiting. This is Gods way of slowing me down. I am still sending out a letter or a card a month and that seems to be fun for people as well. Good for me to remember that people like to get mail that isn’t a bill or junk!
My other blog mrpsadventures.com is going well. This picture a day project has really been fun. I have been doing it everyday and it seems to bring out the creativity in me a bit. Funny how such a little toy can brin gme joy during the day.
I had an aunt pass this week. Was going to go to the funeral but the family couldnt get it together in a manner where I could attend so I will have my own service for her. Sissy was a great woman and will be missed. She was the last of the sisters in my mothers family….Sissy you were amazing and I miss you already.
Well I guess I should get back at my projects. I hope to blog a bit more on my projects as the summer goes on.
April 24, 2013 rain and my thoughts
As the semester comes to a close I stop and ponder on what I have been doing the last 16 weeks. Geology all though really hard last semester has gone pretty smooth. Right down to the travel pamphlets we have had to make for the different time periods. I have adopted 2 jelly fish into them…Ernie and Burnie from Shark tales. They have had a cafe in everything period in history. Singing songs like “it’s getting hot in hear let’s keep on all our clothes,” “everybody walk the dinosaur,” and there famous hit, ” we are going to need a bigger boat.” All funny spoofs for my prof.
Comm class has gone well. I mean I can talk to a tree so it can’t be too bad right….right.
Today is full of rain……hate the rain…but it is better then the white stuff any day.
Met some great people the semester that I hope to continue contact with. Most in my field of study which is always good.
One more week of school. 2 classes and I can sell my books!!!!!!
There has been a lot of terrible things I. The world the last week…the bombing in Boston, another shooting, week before that a college kid knifing his fellow class mates. This world is a crazy place. My prayers are with the families of the victims and the family’s of the accused. They all have different demons they will have to fight.
Best news is my beautiful niece got into CTC and she gets the field of her choice. Only 2 others from her school got accepted into her program. I am so very proud of her.
My bicycle is now ready to hit the trails. Got it all cleaned up and ready to go! Now I need a dry warm day.
Have a great day world. Lets go out and be the change!
First week of Feb has been odd!
SO here we are at the 7th day of February and it has really flown by. School feels like I just started yet I am a 4th of the way thru. My BFF had a birthday and that started out with a broken window. LOng story short they broke the window ($213 later) and took nothing. Now in theroy it could have been the cold and a rock but I’m not buying that…too many other weird things are happening around our home for it not to be a random accident but I could very well be wrong about that too :0)
I have kept up with my picture a day for a month and 6 days. Mr P has been a great addition to my creative side. People seem to like him as well.
It is really weird looking around campus and seeing all the young kids looking at the world as adults for the first time. If I could go back and talk to myself 25 years ago I think it would go something like this….
Hey you…..I know this is going to sound really odd but just listen. Spend as much time with your mom as you can you are going to loose her way before you are ready to….and call her each and everyday. You are going to be a lesbian and that is ok. Deal with it. Its not a bad thing. You are going to meet some people that will take advantage of you so you need to learn early to stand up for yourself and you will have less heart ache. You are going to have a great job opportunity. Stock money away but dont tell anyone that way you will still have some when you loose that great job. DOn’t let others tell you you cant do something, You are smarter then anyone even yourself give you credit for. Open up to the people close to you. They do care you just have to let them in.
How do you know that you are talking to the older version of you. Only you know that you had a falling in love with your now BFF long before either of you really knew or did anything about it. Your first apartment will be where you learn the most about yourself and who you are going to be. Learn and know that you are not as broken as you think you are. So with that I want you to know that you are not alone. Stand up for yourself and be the incredible person you are suppose to be.
Love, Me
With that I need to go to class.
End of January
Here I sit in the Cafe at Sinclair and I am reminded that this is the last day of January. Where does the time go. Seemed like just yesterday we were out mowing the lawn. Oh wait I do live in Ohio that could happen.
It has been a pretty productive month. I have completed most of my todo list. Have kept up with my picture a day with Mr P. That has become a good stress reliever. for those who don’t know about it check it out. http://www.mrpsadventures.wordpress.com
School is going pretty good. I am not the oldest kid in all my classes. I am finally figuring out what works for me in my geology class.
Home life is good. Taking a day at a time.
I need to find a job. I miss the interaction with people. Maybe next week Ill stop in to career services here at school and see what they can do for me.
Have my first exam today. Keeping fingers crossed for sure.
I’m off to get this day started.
Bring on February!
Jan 18 the Grocery Store
Ok so they put the health fruit and veggies in the front of the store that is great…..Works well for me however You look in their ad and there is junk food in it. You round the corner and instead of healthy choses you find sugar and carbohydrates that you don’t need to put in your pie hole. The schools have takin the cookie away from the kids and the soda pop. That is a good thing but…..To buy juice for the child to drink costs twice as much. WTH? Eat more fresh veggies and leaner cuts of meat….Ok then lean some of the money off of these products. Send out coupons that will encourage people to eat better instead of buy 2 for a better deal. Why would the avg 2 person household need to buy two of anything really. Stock up for a rainy day I suppose but why. We never know what we are going too eat till its dinner time on most nights.
The good news is I only spent 137 dollars at the grocery and I did by fresh veggies and I did get some vegetarian dishes for my partner in crime but in the grand scheme of things I spent too much and I dint buy really any junk food. A bag of veggie chips is the worse thing I can remember buying and she may or may not eat those I can’t remember.
I did learn that taking a list helps cut down the crap I use to buy. Also reminds me to use my coupons!!!!!
I guess what I am trying to say is….Eating healthy should not cost more. Mrs Obama where are you helping the avg person get healthy. Its cheaper to buy fattening foods. At least in the spring and summer I can grow my own veggies…..Thank god!
Have a great day everyone!
Tomorrow I think I am going to try Yoga!
Jan 11 the day
As most days go today was rather boring. I wasn’t feeling so hot so I didn’t over due anything. Got a bit of homework done hung out with the dogs. Tonight we had left overs and watched a movie. The Amazing Spider-Man. Was actually a really well done film. I could even watch it again.
Been thinking a lot about my mom today. She’s been gone almost 6 years and I miss her every single day.
I’m going to try and sleep my thoughts away tonight. We will see where that gets me.
Good night world!!!
Today 3 Jan 2013
Well I am still doing bad with water. Guess I will turn the app back on to remind me :0(
I did go get re-enrolled in the gym today. Even signed up for the pool benefits. Came home started laundry, found my swim suit and packed it in a bag to take to the gym. I got on e treadmill for 10 minutes….gotta start somewhere. I managed to step on the scale while I was there. Seems like I have dropped a few pounds in the last 2 weeks. 6.5 pounds. We will call that a big win!!!!! I was just trying to eat better. Shows me at with a little help I can drop even more.
I’m not sure what my goal on this is gonna be. I may just go a pound at a time. I know I want to be under 200 pound. So that is my first goal. To be under that by the end of the year (really before the end of the year but we will start with a big goal first.)
So today I have eaten breakfast and lunch and had a snack, usually I skip one or both of these. Going to have asparagus wraps for dinner. Use my popcorn popper Santa brought me and call it a night.
Here is to another day of doing better for me!
