One of my Obsessions

I love love nail polish. I have just become an avid collector in the last year or so. There is a HUGE nail polish collector community and I have met some amazing ladies through it, on top of learning about nail polish and techniques. I can't wait to add to my collection...If you ever can't think of what to buy me...it's easy---NAIL POLISH---lol

Weekly Meal Plan 2/25-3/3

Dinner: Papa John's Pizza

Wednesday:

Saturday:

Breakfast: Saltfish & bakes

Dinner: Smoked green beans & turkey necks with cornbread

Sunday:

Dinner: BBQ pulled pork, corn on the cob, coleslaw

Because of Kay's crazy schedules and the fact that I am NOT a morning person, I cook our breakfast and dinner for the next day, the night before. This works out well because I don't have to worry about rushing home to get dinner done because it's already there and I can start dinner for the next night at any time that is good for me. Granted this won't work well for everyone but it works great for me. I also try to overcook and then freeze the leftovers for meals in the future. It's also great to have a meal plan because you know what you are having and what you need for the whole week. We sometimes switch meals around if we just aren't in the mood for it. I normally make a two week one, so the following week will be up shortly.

Constant State of Distraction

    So, here it is almost March and this is my third blog entry. Obviously, I am not doing to well in keeping up with my goal of posting twice a week, but I will try this again. Not to much has happened since the beginning of the year. I am on a steady path of working on those things I need to work on and trying to maintain a semblance of a schedule. My pills have me living a vampire lifestyle, where I am up all night and sleep most of the day. This has left me in a somewhat whiny and depressive state because even though I get the things accomplished I need to (most times) it is at weird hours so it leaves me feeling as if I didn't do much.
   I plan on getting some homework done today (falling behind but maintaining an A) and working on my day planner, inputting meals and a schedule I hope to be able to stick to somewhat better. I noticed I have been super cranky and bitchy lately. Yes, part of that is my personality but the other is the people I allow in my life and around me. My tolerance for stupidity and bullshit is getting low, so I am either going to have to stop biting my tongue or just cut some of these people out of my life. Weirdly enough this is my online life, not my personal one. That seems to be going on a good course for once.
    I am currently waiting around to find out when exactly my back surgery is scheduled for. I am not too excited about the surgery or healing part but I am looking forward to possibly having a normal life again and being able to be more active. Kay and I are planning how I will be taken care of while she is at work and making sure I have the things I need. I am enjoying my friendships that I have made online. Some of these girls are my saving grace and make me laugh like no other. As always, I have me best friend and cousin there for me everyday when I need her. I can tell her anything and she can judge me, tell me I am being a bitch or just make me laugh about the situation.

Its a New Year! Happy New Year 2013!!

    So, it's a new year and if things go right a new me! I purposely chose to have today as a lazy day just because I know everything kicks into gear tomorrow for me, at least. I have so many goals/resolutions that I am ready to tackle this year. I tend to make it through the end of January normally and then fall off the band wagon for the rest of the year. Being able to make these goals habits is my main objective. Of course, this blog won't just be about those goals, but about my life and thoughts in general. But, it being the new year of course I must start out with this :)
   Among the things I have thrown on my plate for the year, one of them is of course weight loss. Now, I am not trying to get skinny, more just to get to a weight where I feel comfortable and healthy. Adding in some exercises to get off my butt and make better food choices. Dieting just doesn't work for me and I feel deprived. I am also working on myself mentally. I finally went to the doctor about getting on some meds for anxiety and mood swings among other things. Seems I won the crazy gene pool on both sides and that seems to be affecting my life more and more as I get older. Working harder in school and giving it more time in my life is another priority. I can make good grades not really studying but I feel I need to devote more of myself to this, if it's to be a career at some point in the future. I want to break down some walls that I have around me and allow myself to be more emotional and honest with others, but I need to first make sure they are deserving. How I plan to determine that, I have no clue. Overall, I just want to stay focused. I tend to get distracted by bright and shiny objects so if I can just keep my eye on the prize, and constantly remind myself, I can accomplish these things. Seems like a lot on my plate, huh? I figure I might as well go for it all. All or nothing.
   This blog is something else I committed to do as well. I scheduled it where I will blog on Mondays and Thursdays normally. I had to give myself a set time, because once again, I get distracted. I am not sure what life has in store for me for 2013 but I am going into it with high hopes. I am lucky to have some amazing people in my life and a good support group and with that around and my amazingly awesome self, anything is possible.
  For anyone bored enough to read this, lol, I hope that the new year brings you everything that you hope and work for as well.
