It’s a Hard Knock Life

Happy EARLY morning cyberspace!! If you read my blog yesterday you are aware that it was, for lack of better words, a bad day. I trashed yesterday’s blog ONLY because it had work related material: dad says that always a bad idea. Also I did A LOT of brownies and ice cream… I’m still alive but that was a bad idea too lol.

I am still upset about not vacationing to MEXICO but what can I do about it. Some great friends did have wonderful suggestions about going some where local. I/we could do that… I was just REALLY looking forward to laying on the beach, sipping a corona, and hearing the waves hit the beach. (I’ll keep dreaming I suppose) I’ve decided to pay off some bills early with my saved money – ooo la la. I will continue to put money back so we’ll have some for the car breaking, a hospital visit, books for school, other bills and etc. Really exciting stuff I know.

I did pull $200 for me to do whatever I want with; starting with dinner at Saltgrass Friday and I’m getting whatever I want!! Also, I’ve decided to stop thinking about a vacation… Instead I want to focus on working out and eating right. It’s somewhat difficult to do since our set budget is small for groceries BUT I can contribute since we aren’t going anywhere expensive ANY time soon.

On another notes, a day without singing is a day wasted: Yesterday was a day wasted. I LOVE to sing and I didn’t yesterday – which I think contributed to my horrible day. There’s just something about singin from your soul, feeling the heartache/joy in the words, and pushing yourself to your limit. I love to sing the blues, Patsy Cline, Whitney Houston, Cher, Patti Labelle, Peggy Lee, and ALL the divas (too many of my favorites to name). You might notice I didn’t mention Tina Turner… I don’t even try to sing like her cuz NO ONE can: I just dance and sound like an idiot 🙂

Last thing…I am completely honest when I blog or talk. I truly spill it all out there (if I wanna talk about it) when it’s happening. I’m real, upfront, black and white, and a realistic person. My blogs are not fairy tails or rainbows… Lol obviously. They are filled with happy thoughts and hard times but that’s life – at least mine anyways.

Love you for reading 🙂
