April 17th, 200810 Random Facts About Me

Tag. I’m it!! I’ve been tagged by Rozlyn.

How to play : Once you’ve been tagged you have to write a blog with 10 weird, random facts, habits, or goals about yourself — at the end choose 5 people to be tagged. Don’t forget to leave them a comment saying “You’re It!” and to go read your blog. You cannot tag the person that tagged you.

  1. I like to take long and steamy showers.
  2. I day dream A LOT and like to act out mini conversations in my head.
  3. I’m superstitious and believe in the supernatural.
  4. If I had to choose between a night out with friends or staying home, I’d stay home. I love being home! … home sweet home …
  5. I have a love/hate relationship with sharks. I love reading about them and learning new things. I have and I don’t mind swimming with them when I’m in the Caribbean but I’m petrified to visit Mexico or Florida and swim in their waters because of shark attacks.
  6. I absolutely LOVE those huge Mr. Freezies. I always stock up with them in my freezer for the summer. *looks in freezer* Check. I’ve got some already! lol
  7. I hate public speaking or doing presentations now, yet when I was a kid, I won public speaking competitions.
  8. I am obsessed with mirrors and chapstick. I always have both on me at ALL TIMES!
  9. I have a huge heart for animals and cry uncontrollably whenever I see animal cruelty especially towards dogs or cats. (Oprah’s “puppy mills” special…ya…I cried a river that day!)
  10. I secretly drink alcohol in my room almost every night. It’s not like we’re not allowed to drink alcohol in my house, by all means…it’s definitely an ALCOHOL FRIENDLY home…I just get embarrassed if I drink in front of my parents or sisters. lol.

Who shall I tag next?

February 25th, 2008Random searches on the web

I love looking at random things on the web. Seriously…I do and yes I know it can be weird at times. I’ll search things like morgues, types of surgeries, and even sometimes Alabama land for sale. Okay…maybe not the last one, but the others I do. LOL!!

Yes, totally weird, but you gotta keep your mind busy when you got nothing else to do. I guess the more you learn the better your mind is. Well, that’s what I think anyways.

What random things do you search?

February 21st, 2008The eclipse last night

Did anyone watch the lunar eclipse yesterday? I glanced out the window a few times to see it and I must admit, it was really cool. It would of been nice if I had some sort of telescope with special magnifiers so I can see it better. I guess I’ll have to invest into getting one for myself sometime.

I saw some really great photos that people took of this spectacular event. If you search on Flickr, you’ll see many. Of course I was too busy to be bothered with pulling out my camera and going outside to take a photograph. Now I’m smacking myself for not doing so. Oh well…I guess I’ll just have to wait until 2010. I think that’s when the next one is going to occur.

January 24th, 2008Now this is my kind of cat!!

I recently saw this photo and it honestly made me laugh. Why? Because like me, that cat also seems to purchase things from Ebay…but what he purchased is even more funnier. (yes I know people add words to the actions of cats)…It’s hilarious in my opinion. Check it out below.

January 16th, 2008Q: How do I manage it all?

I always get emails or comments about how can I manage so many blogs, maintain a real job, have family time, and have time for myself. The answer is rather simple. Get organized!

  1. Get an organizer/agenda: This will probably be your best friend. You can keep track of days you work, family events, appointments, and keep a blogging schedule so you can blog on certain days. That’s what I do. I usually keep this info in my phone calendar because it’s much easier for me to see when I’m on the go, but even a pocket calendar can do the job.
  2. Remove the clutter: In part with being organized, you must maintain a clean environment around you. How else are you suppose to find notes that you made if your desk is one big pile of crap? See my point.
  3. Use a notepad: Get a nice notepad where you can jot down ideas, websites, things to do, etc. You can even rip out pages and stick it on your screen for things you need to remember.
  4. Plan your day effectively: Try to do the hard things first so they can get out of the way as soon as possible. Also, look to see what time you can unwind. Everyone needs to rest. Power nap throughout the day if you have to. It’s always great!!
  5. Don’t forget to eat: Keep some healthy snacks with you at all times. How else are you suppose to keep your energy flowing throughout the day.
  6. Don’t stress: Yup…don’t stress over the small things. It’s not worth your time, energy, or getting your emotions worked up. Go with the flow.
  7. Have fun: You have to like what your doing and have fun. If you’re just too serious, you are never going to go places. Take a deep breath and relax. Enjoy your day!
