November Madness

October 15, 2010


Credited to weheartit

Fall is here! It’s not cold here by any means, but it’s also not blisteringly hot either. Thank God. I like being able to go outside and feeling a breeze, as opposed to melting into the asphalt. :D I may have mentioned this before, but I love this time of year with a passion. It’s just so amazingly beautiful! Everything from the leaves to the fall clothes to the smells.

It’s the middle of October and so much is going on! November is only in two weeks and coming fast! Next month is going to be crazy! First is NaNoWriMo. As always I am participating this year. I haven’t finished one yet, but I refuse to quit! One of these years I am going to manage to finish a novel in one month. Of course this year is going to be made even harder considering all of the things going on. :/

Second on the list is my birthday! I turn a miserable 26 this year. Which means I am only 4 more years to 30. Where the hell did the time go? I want to be 25 forever! Ok, so it’s not that bad really. People say that I still look 16. (Which is good and bad) So it’s not like I worry about aging it’s just that I feel like time has gone by way to fast! I don’t feel almost 26.

And last but certainly not least of the news, next month is also the family cruise! This year the family decided to go on a cruise for Thanksgiving. I’m so excited. We don’t have to cook or clean afterward and no one can try to bribe me into going shopping for Black Friday, because we are going on a 4-night, 5-day cruise to the Caribbean! I’m so beyond excited! I’ve never been on a cruise before so this will be a big first for me. I can’t wait!

I’m so boring…

September 27, 2010


Credited to weheartit

I’m so sorry for being gone for so long! Life has been busy and yet boring all at the same time. I’ve been working a lot and that has be tired all the time. But also it means that I really haven’t done anything to blog about. lol I’m such a boring person.

I am totally looking forward to fall though. I love this time of year! It’s been getting cooler here. And it’s actually raining. It sounds sucky, but considering it has barely rained in months I’m loving this! It’s really cooling everything down. I’m looking forward to bringing out my fall and winter clothes and shopping for more. It’s my favorite fashion season by far. :D I just love the layers and the scarves and coats and boots. It’s just great.

Anyway, I’ve been reading a lot lately especially since I’m not really going out. I’m also catching up on my television watching. I’ve missed a lot of tv shows in the past year or so. So I’m catching up by buying the shows on DVD. I have to watch the last season of Gossip Girl since I’m totally lost in the new season already, and I’m catching up on House. Also, I’m into some of the new shows out this season, like Hellcats and The Big C.

Aside from all of that I’m also trying to clear out my clutter. So I’ve gone through all of my DVDs and books and I’m selling everything that I don’t want anymore on Amazon. It’s really cleansing to me to get rid of this stuff. I’m kind of a packrat and I don’t like to through anything away, but it’s getting out of hand. At least this way I can make some money as I’m getting rid of stuff. I’ve already made almost $30 and I just started on Friday. :D

Packing!

July 9, 2010


Credited to weheartit

I’m finally packing for my trip this weekend! We are leaving tomorrow (yeah I know I’m late) for my family reunion down in Jacksonville. I’m just excited to have some time off and do something other than work. Plus it’s the Peach Jam this coming week and I’m kind of glad that I don’t have to work for it. Something always goes wrong or there’s a shortage of vehicles, not something to look forward to in the least. :/

So yeah, I’m packing doing this last minute shopping for things I need. Even so I’m pretty relaxed about it. I’m not really a panicker when it comes to last minute packing. I already knew the basics of what I’m taking anyway. I just need to finish the actual physical packing of it. lol And it’s funny because I really enjoy packing and figuring what to take (until I forget something anyway) but I can’t stand unpacking. I hate it with a passion! But I guess you can’t have the good without the bad.

Anyway, this post also serves to let you guys know I will be AWOL until about Thursday of Friday of next week. The hotel we are staying at is very nice but charges for WIFI so I won’t be taking my laptop. (It needs a rest anyway.) They do have a business center with computers but we’ll have to see if I have any time for posting while I’m there. I’ll try to stay in touch with my twitter account at least: @vivaciousv1114 but I will be honest, I’m not much of a tweeter. lol I always forget to keep up with it, even with an app on my phone. Well, have fun my friends and I’ll hit you up when I come back!

Summer Heat and New Eyes

June 15, 2010

Whoo! It is so hot around here! Everyday I wake up to heat advisories on my phone warning me of a heat index in the 100′s. Last week was so nice then all of sudden this weekend it’s cooking us! I can barely stand to go outside after 1 pm because it just gets hotter. And nights are ridiculous. I can barely go to sleep because I just feel so hot and sticky. :/ It’s really bad around here. I’m hoping that it will cool down soon. This Georgia weather is not my friend.

Anyway, onto personal news! Not too much going on but I did finally go get an eye exam. Might as well us that health insurance that I pay for. My eyes didn’t change much but I decided to try out contacts again. Last time I went in I didn’t get the contact specifically for astigmatism and I couldn’t stand it but basically they told me to just bear it. :/ But I went with Pearle Vision this time and they were super nice. They didn’t have my exact prescription with the testers they gave me but told me to try them out and practice for a few hours a day while they order the exact ones. Then I’ll go in and pick those correct ones up and try them out for a few days or a week. We’ll keep trying them to make sure that I like them, then I’ll buy them if I like them. If not I can just go back to my glasses. :D I just like that they gave me the option. I’m never going back to that previous doctor. I’ll probably still buy a pair of glasses just to have on hand just in case, especially since my old ones are kind of falling part. lol
