The Love Bats are driving me crazy

They are never quiet, not for a minute.  Even when they sleep, which is only when they should be doing something else, they make strange noises and grunts.  They break furniture and slop food everywhere.  They have the "Myde Ass Touch" everything they touch turns to shit.  It is time.  Really time. They lie cheat and steal.  My car is on E and they drove 154 miles when they should have only drove 30 --but somehow they think they have an argument or something.  Car is making funny noises now--kind of like they do.  It's loaded down with shit that I will have to get rid of---and I will---straight to the curb.

Right Quick-Write Quickly

I guess there is something to be said for paper and pen. For one you don't have to wait forever on the page to load. Signing in and the editor to quit spinning can be another wait. By then you forget whatever it was you were going to write in the first place and you end up writing something like this.

Right Quick.....Write Quickly...Just right...Just write quickly....Write right...

If I could write worth a damn, I'd most definitely be a writer. It is for certain that I would be. What I am and always was is a person who writes. A lot, at times. Not at all when perhaps I should have.

Blogger sure took a turn for the worse.  I can't believe all the little quirks in it now.  

Ah well, such is life, especially my own.  

I haven't been out today and am unable to focus at all what so ever.  The demands demons have returned again. They may bribe me with smokes.  I may pretend not to know what the hell they were up to all day.  I'm truly disgusted with all of it.  

They are users and users are selfish.  I'm running out of things to use. Quickly due to them, I might add.  Perhaps I will liquidate and do that traveling I've been dreaming about.  Me and my car, selling sea shells by the sea shore.  Just like Sally.  I knew a Sally once.  She spoke of her fondness for me....to me.  And contempt for me to all else who would listen...and of course, report back to me.  She was a fun chapter in my life.  I remember a time I would give her spending money and she would ask for me not to tell her mean ol' man about her cash or he would take it.  One day, he basically told me of how shitty I was to use poor Sally and not ever give her a dime. Wow.  I do believe I said something like, "I guess I was being thoughtless"  and off I roamed, far far away from Sally and those like her.  To this day when I meet a Sally, and thank google I recognize her, I smile.  I smile a big brilliant thoughtful smile, and off I roam.  Right quick. 

I'm going to do the listia thing and close the door to my office, perhaps bast some music of some kind.  

Stay tuned.  

and Write Quickly 

Blogger withdrawals ---Where was I? :-D

I didn't realize how badly I needed my blog until it was down for more than 16 hours that I know of.  Probably longer but I slept since then.  

I absolutely love and trust My likes dot com

They offer brands and companies that you can actually promote and be proud of.  I don't like to spam my friends.  I can choose things that would actually be of interest to them.  And get paid a few cents for doing so.  They actually pay you too.  A lot of places you have to use it or lose it--it takes for ever to get enough points to even get a buck--and then you have to request a payout, wait forever and then they take some out of it.  Not with mylikes, they actually send it to you each week.  It's yours, it's actual money and they pay it period.  I like that!  Also it doesn't install apps that slow you down and auto post and spy.  You chose the ads PLUS you can search out your interests and find actual products etc that interest you.  

You won't get rich with them unless you win something (which I haven't tried to) but you figure you use coupons so why not make a couple bucks?  I can buy the baby milk if I want.  

Another thing I'm excited about and was going to post about when blogger was down is I want to try oil sticks!

I watched the following video:

and fell in LOVE!!!

I totally need these :-D 

Tuesday Booze Day

Spring is in the air and the neighbors are all out in the road, driveway and front yards, getting drunk.  Such festive folks.  I went out and picked up some of the trash that blew over here.  Homing pigeon had something to do with it.  Thumper is brainshot.

I got my tea box, ACEO, and Teacher's gift almost done.

I got out of the house and went to QT where I put 10 in gas in.  I can deal with half a tank, it's the on E and out of oil stuff I can't.  That is how I found my car, again.  Also the signal light cover got messed with and there were  muddy finger print swirls all over it.  

Perhaps I'll be able to speed up my production time on my projects if only .....

I'll write later...another distraction surfaced ;-) 

Monday Monday

Image via Wikipedia

Here come the garbage men.  I was starting to worry as they are late.  I hate when they come just as you're taking the bambinos to school.  Can't get by/block ya in the driveway.  They are coming from the other direction for some reason.  I hope they are able to lift the trash I put out.  I've had them reject the very stuff I carried out there saying it was too heavy --so now we'll see as they are right outside my window.  

I recruited some help yesterday cleaning my yard and driveway.  Plenty more to do and none of it was mine.  Just horrid junk thrown and dropped off by Homing Pigeon and Thumper.  It feels a little better out there now.  I had to blow up and begin working on it.  Homing helped and a friend.  Thumper had to be asked straight out specially and didn't even complete that.  If it's going to be this hard every time, then I will just throw it all out.  

Enough already. I shoveled up the last pile just now.  Hurt already today.  We have the front and the other side to do today.  New rule is you either make money on any given day or you work around here. Period. 

It's hot and stuffy in this house, now even worse.  Cool breeze outside with some humidity as though it will rain.  Hard to tell these dark mornings what it will do weather-wise.  

Mother's Day was spent throwing a fit and throwing out.  At least I can get my flowers going now.  

I like to plant/transplant on the first full moon in May.  

OOP, news flash, thumper gets his unenjoyment today so he is speaking of leaving his wife and 3 kids.  That hundred bucks sure makes him strong.  Every Monday like clock work--he is going to leave.  Sometimes he does but getting high is expensive and he returns, tired, broke and sick.  He then eats up everything in the house, makes a mess and refuses to lift a finger even with his children.  

I've had some bad men.  Ah, but at least they were men.  To some extent anyways.  I would be a widow if Thumper was my husband.  Truly. 

He is sulking with a Kindergartener needing to go to school and no gas in the car.  He is manipulating by making people wait for him to get dressed slowly.  He is whining and whatevering.  Hard to take or understand. 

He is now yawning,grunting and moaning while child is being dropped off running the risk of running out of gas.  He is selfish and that is why he will never have anything nor will he know peace. 

I shall return with a more productive tale to tell.

The sun isn't even up yet

I got me some Winstons and things are looking up.  Amazing how the little things can make such a huge difference.  One may not smoke but guaranteed there is something that does it for you.  

It's Mother's day and my child came through for me.  Actually, my children.  A couple aren't even blood kin but they are my children just the same.  I appreciate them beyond belief.  

Monday is the day I'm off of vacation--not that it's been such a grand one.  It's back to the old operation make money.  I need an operation make time actually.  There is never enough of either one.

The topic of "real friends" came up a while ago.  I have to say my online friends are every bit real to me.  I've been offline for a spell and actually got missed.  I can't say as though I'm missed offline.  I can go to the same store day after day.  If I stop going I doubt anyone would even notice.  But let me not sign into facebook and it's noticed!  That is real enough for me.  I have got to meet people across the world online and in no way would I be able to do that offline.  I cherish my online friends and will defend my relationships till the end :-) I've even had to use google translate to carry on an hour long conversation a time or too. And I'm grateful to be able to do that.  

On Mother's Day, I'm going to round up a few more projects and perhaps snap a photo or two.  I love my kiddos and my grand angels.  I am so happy for so many things.  I am rich.  

I think it may be nap time.  

I ate everything in the house and I'm looking for more...I may even head to yours (jk)

I'm on day 3 without my own cigarettes, which means a rollmeup now and again.  Hardly counts.  I won't quit under these circumstances of course.  All one can do is sleep and eat.  Can't chew gum as you just sort of chomp down more air then you do from lack of nicotine to begin with (causes gas quittin' fyi) Can't do anything with any precision as your hand isn't quite steady to say the least.  Nothing really replaces it especially if you're not trying to quit.  I won't be bullied so whatever.  I tried the water thing where you guzzle water instead of smoke.  It's just weird.  No other way to put it lol.  Nothing like smoking especially for someone like me who gets drunk and bloated on water.  

I know I won't be as generous with my smokes when I get em.  I have learned from this experience for sure.  

Just think if I hadn't shared the last 50 cartons lol. I've learned that you don't save on quitting smoking, you only spend on other stuff.  That's it.  You always seem to justify crap because you "don't smoke" so pointless.  

Winston tastes Good, Like a cigarette should.

New Day

Image via Wikipedia

I have to work on getting out there for some bloggable info.  Today, we took the baby for her check up and got the lil ones off to school.  Ty Ty and I have returned.  The sun is shining and  I'm already thinking of nap time.  I've got a sitting assignment for a few hours this evening so a nap may do me some good.  Wednesday is a good start day for everything but not if I'm exhausted.  

I was reading about people riding bicycles as transportation and it made me think.  I don't know too many people who I could imagine on a bike.  Or worse, I can imagine it and it's not good.  Weaving and splattering all over the road.  I used to ride my bike quite a bit (before it got stolen).  I rode it on quiet bike trails, on the side of neighborhood roads, side walks, parking lots and other slow casual slow moving areas.  I really wouldn't ride on a main drag myself.  I know most that do ride there really shouldn't.  Even certain bike trails are dangerous.  You have to cross busy roads and there is absolutely no slowing down where you cross.  None.  The cars just seem to want to hit you.  

I've seen bike lanes in other places but even they look scary.  

I heard about Robin Williams getting pulled over for the sidewalk deal.  I read all the comments from people agreeing about the no sidewalk rule.  HA, I guess you have to ride faster than I would.  I'm pretty sure the walkers would pass me.  

It has to do with how rude a person is.  I tend to yield the right of way and even forfeit my own for safety's sake, but a rude prick is a rude prick on wheels or not.  So there it is.  

lol I could see the headlines now if I grabbed my purse, got on my bike and said "Well, I'm off to work. See ya later."  If I seen 'em, it would probably be from a hospital bed.  

But that's just me, I suppose.

Sunday Not Funday

Another day another dollar spent.  Not a lot going on in my world today--Caught up on reading letters and mailing them out.  Still have a table full of papier-mache to contend with.  It's dark,cold and rainy today, just makes one feel like dancing.  

Joined mylot and people string=not sure about either one yet.  

So far I can truly say the mylot wizard is a pain in the ass lol But in fairness there is a skip button ;-) 

I don't really know what I'm doing--they may turn out to be those sites you sign up for then forget about. 

I have a job to go to tonight. It's a paid one (most of my jobs aren't ;-))

 I've got this "blankage" problem that I just can't seem to shake, but with the help of this blog and people like you (I just had to add that lol) I'm going to beat this.  It used to be I'd have to edit a trillion words out of things because my mind just raced constantly--now, my mind tries to spare itself from all.  It is on vacation due to stress.  Here's to bringing it out--reluctantly for sure.

Money Saving Advice vs Not buying to begin with

Image by NyOkieSue via Flickr

With this economy, everywhere I look I see money saving articles.  I save even more money by not buying these things to begin with.  I wonder how many other people actually eliminate these cost completely as well.  It would seem not too many since you see these advice articles as often as we do.  I've been living green for years, sometimes with no other choice lol.  In today's world you need money for a lot of things.  We are spoiled.  So It's housing, utilities and transportation.  

Where I live there are no sidewalks nor safe areas to walk.  Walking seems to be frowned upon. I had to walk home from work one morning when my car was down.  It was only a 2.5 mile journey.  I think I ended up hugging a pole on a huge embankment because of cars insisting on driving in the lane I needed.  Plenty of room, but it was far more fun trying to make me fall under their cars.  After all, if they had hit me,  why I was walking to begin with would be questioned.  40ph=75mph to most drivers around here.  

Do I save money?  When I have it to save yes.  I save 25 % of all income.  I usually end up living off it.  Do I cut  costs?  I usually don't have them in order to save.  I do have internet connection, which is the first thing I whack when I need money.  Rent and electric are priority.  Next is water but you can find water if needed.  Same with natural gas.  You can get the job done with electric or BBQ if needed.  You're in trouble without electric.  Life is too hard without it, not to mention unsafe.  I don't want to save money on rent due to a house fire caused by a candle.  

Cable just seems silly to me.  There are a lot of expenses I don't have that I don't think I would get with 5 times the income--perhaps 10 times the income I might.  

The car thing?  I pay for cheap insurance, tags and renewal.  After that,  I walk if it's close.  I get to my destination and park--walking to what is close by.  If it's not on my way, I don't go.  No special trips.  Work is a hard one because it burns up a lot of gas unless you can carpool (which usually makes you late for work and too much of that leads to another cost eliminated lol).  I make the "loop" when shopping and running errands.  My car usually stays parked.  

I've been faced with the question of lowering costs verses making more money.  The ideal thing would be both.  Most people spend more the more they make.  They then gripe about the costs.  I usually can't afford  don't have money to even go look at the costs lol 

It's hard to even live modestly anymore.  It should be that if you don't make a lot of money then you just simply live modestly, but now, it is expensive to even live in a dump.  You can have no cable, no phone, (no internet-god forbid) no car, no movie night or other costly recreation, no hobbies and still not be able to pay rent, water and electric.  That is not to mention, clothes, toiletries, school costs (even public school requires some money for the kiddos) and food.  

To me, if you can't have fun at home, then you need to change your home (or the people in it).  My shack is my castle for I am the queen.  If you have the time to get bored then go make your yard pretty.  Or invest in a hammock in the shade.  Gas for the mower?  Use a push mower ( I had one my Dad gave me but I lost it in the divorce--I'm bitter) or get rid of the lawn.  The lady across the street has a beautiful plush green lawn.  No weeds (which some like the wild strawberries and clover are actually pretty) just grass.  I have never seen her out there.  Not in 7 years.  Maybe she admires it from some little window out back, who knows?  She could just paint some cement green for that lol or get the fake stuff.  

I look around all I see is waste.  Massive amounts of waste and greed.  Greed to get more stuff to waste.  I waste to I suppose, I could get rid of my lawn too, but I love my Snapper.  I love the day I bought it and crammed it in my friends tiny car and brought it home.  Good horsepower and no bells and whistles.  You can  run over junk and throw it down and hill and it still holds up.  I've had fancier ones that only lasted a year.  

So maybe we need more "How not to spend money" articles.  Even the make it yourself articles talk about buying stuff.  I say figure out if you need or want it that bad, then make the whole thing.  And if it takes too much time--time that you can be making money--then just buy it (or not) and be done with it.  

What I was always amazed by is my co workers drinking spending habits.  They all must have sponsors because I know what most of them make.  I always think, I'm glad I don't have to support you.  My GOD.  I totally need a sponsor, that is all there is to it :-) 

Life is good, it's just so expensive ;-)

Same Day

Every day household things seem to get in the way and yet at times are the only way.  Anyhow, I'm 40 minutes behind on my deadline for my papier-mache' stuff.  I have to do it though as it's waiting on me ;-) I have a lot of things in a lot of different stages so I at least want more in the same stage ;-)  

I did reach my swag bucks goal and then some!  Good for me without even trying too hard.

Another Day

Well, my fairly new dependents got jobs!  That sure does take some of the stress off.  I mustn't relax just yet but I must say,  I have Folgers, Winstons and my fingers aren't too cold.  Life is feeling pretty good other than that money thing.  I am back online also.  Some good stuff here.  Alyssa and I  Papier-mâché d some things that were calling my name.  Almost there.  Have to round some things up.  I'm out of Mod Podge still which sucks but what can ya do?  I got a lot.  

I got a few more projects to round up so I can bring everything up to the next stage.  I have some ACEO's almost ready also.

Some Other Day

I guess it was Easter today.  It rained and hailed again on this dark dreary day.  Still organizing and planning.  Tomorrow is the big day and I hope this golf ball on my cheek goes down.  

After the Day was Shot

...They finally leave.  Not a lot can be done this Saturday before Easter Sunday when my internet gets cut off.  Boy that Easter Bunny is something else huh? But I have fought to do a little bit towards my goals (in which I need to define even further)  I did a little more than yesterday despite the pain and sorrow ;-) 

End of Day

So today---I took a walk which may help with my clothes and fat problem--I signed up for an affiliate program and participated a little more on point sites.  The age thing is just there lol.  I'm working towards my goals even now by journaling.  I still use Toodledo :-) 

Day something or other

I'm trying not to make each day turn into one long continuous one because after being a "house technician" years ago, I'm all too well aware of this situation.  I was trapped in romper room so long back then that I once gently grabbed a cashier's hand, turned it over and place the money it.  Wow, that was awkward.  I tried to explain but luckily he was kind and perceptive enough to see what was happening.  He said that he thought of his own mother there for that second.  Back then it was a chore to figure out the date.  What would I need that info for?  They were all just one long day.  

That was then and this is now.

Now:

I realize I have no clothes other than scrubs.

I realize I can't put my type of employment down anywheres if I want a new type (which I do)

I realize that I am old and fat (but I laugh) 

I need money and am not good with online cliques 

I know that I would love to make money in a creative way (my art-or supplies) 

I need to have a plan and work on small steps every minute. 

That is enough to stay busy for awhile.  

stay tuned .............
