In my last post I promised that I would inform y'all of "life slapping me once again" - And after a conversation with my little brother - I am ready-ish to talk about it... My brother affirmed that I have never been known to keep quiet - he reminded me of who I am! That I wear my heart on my sleeve and along with my heart are my values and ideals... So... Long story short, I am unemployed (I originally wrote "in-between jobs" to try and make it sound better) - With the support of my family and my Babo - I am coming out of this almost unscathed... I wanted to take the week to process my whole situation and... I am still processing it, which is why I won't go into details - One thing is for sure, I am working REALLY HARD on focusing on the positives - I am appreciative for the free time that unemployment grants me - In my first week off, my head is clearer, I have been able to spend real quality time with Patch, re-organized my closet, wrote out ...

FYI- some house keeping notes: I am having to write this blog via my phone...Ugh!!! Unreliable technology!!! (apologies now for any shorthanded stuff just extremely annoying having to do this over the phone) I know- I know- For a girl who claims to hate all things technology, I am definitely on this way too much than I claim to hate... And a toot-toot over 1,000 views- I would be lying if I didn't let y'all know how psyched I am to know that y'all are out there reading it, big or small audience, I'm just glad that I'm not totally alone with my thoughts... all the time... Before they're offended, I should clarify, my thoughts are not bad company- In my last post, I mentioned having a dark cloud looming over my head and I'm sure that it was a combination of many things- And just when I thought the cloud was gonna get darker, right before heading to our first scouting expedition, I read a post from @theblogess, (as if by divine intervention) Ok. ...

Update: 2/11/14: By the grace of God, I no longer work at this establishment:  I will miss my kids! And I am glad that I did meet a few cool peoples - who keep it real and understand why I had to write this post- To them and my kids I wish them all the best with all their  future endeavors Ok - I need someone to hold me accountable! I need to have a specific date for this blog so that I am on the regular (a consistent blog schedule)... as opposed to being irregular like my menstrual cycle... ayayayay - And since I am over-sharing I might as well let you know that I have also been hesitating writing this post... Why... Because this is not gonna me one of my more popular posts... But I gotta vent this out or end up killing my liver with the daily trips to happy hour (I know that my frame of mind is currently loomed over by those dark clouds you see in  depression commercials -) This is what has me depressed - I don't know how to be fake... And I'm not necessarily go...

Happy New Years Y'all!!! I hope your festivities for welcoming the new year were pleasant and that the "National Hangover Day" wasn't too bad- My New Years was just PERFECT - You may click on "My Life on Instagram" (to your right and see my time at Disneyland) This year the fiance and I decided to keep it mellow (in terms of drinking) because the Champs can be my best friend and my worst enemy- And this New Year's Day I would rather spend the day hugging Donald Duck than hugging the toilet... I Can't Survive without a To Do List Along with the New Year's celebrations, there is always the inevitable conversation about New Year's Resolutions - And for the most part everyone that I spoke to - had an idea of something they wanted to change or improve in their lives - everything from - the ever so popular, losing weight to just making their awesomeness even more awesome... "Vinh-ism"  +Victor Ngo   Well, the last two week...
