It's been awhile....

Wow, I can not believe how long it has been since I have been on here blogging. Well, my last post was before Seminar last year. I do not do Mary Kay anymore but Seminar was a blast. A few months after Seminar I realized that I love buying makeup but not so much selling it. Although I was my own best customer! LOL.
I am currently attending school. I am getting my Associates in Computer Networking. So far I am really enjoying it. I currently have a 4.0 GPA (woot!) and I am very dedicated to school.
Derek and I broke up. Our relationship ended up being a little one-sided. Not my thing.
I am currently seeing someone a little more intriguing. Nothing serious (yet), but I am pretty excited to see where this one goes.

I am a genius!

Sunday afternoon I am driving to Dallas and staying three days for Seminar. I hadn't heard about Seminar until I signed my Mary Kay contract. Well, on of the nights is a formal. The only formal dress I own is a red dress that I wore at my friend Taarna's wedding (bridesmaid). Well, about two months ago I was repainting my bedroom and accidentally got little tiny white spots of paint along the side of it. I saw what had happened and thought, Oh well.. when am I ever going to wear this dress again?
Well, I felt really stupid this morning while I was digging through my closet looking for a formal dress. I have absolutely no money to go out and by a new one. I was running errands today wallowing in self pity for having to go to a formal event wearing a red dress with little white spots along the side of it.
This is the part where I thank the wonderful people that make Sharpie markers. Yes I know I sound like a lunatic for doing this but what else was I supposed to do? Besides it's only on tiny little white spots... Smarter not harder...

Earthquake.

We had another earthquake this morning (this is the 3rd in less than a year). I know for some, this means nothing.... "Whoopty doo! I have one a week at least..." But for me, this means "Aaaaaaggghhh!"

I am used to giant wind funnels tunneling down from the sky, not the earth shaking underneath me.

back to school....

On the 15th I am going to register for school. I am so excited. I AM FINALLY GOING BACK TO COLLEGE!!! It almost makes me want to cry. I am going to have to take out a crap load of a student loan, but oh well. I'm finishing damnit! I will still have to work part-time, but that doesn't bother me. All I need is enough to make my car payment and insurance.
I am going back into nursing. Hopefully make it to RN. *crossing fingers*

Mud Bugs for Dinner!

One of my coworkers brought me a huge bag of crawfish. I haven't had these in

forever... Yummy!

Browsing Etsy.com (again)....

Why don't people discipline their kids anymore?

This is something I've been wanting to blog about for the longest time but never have. After today, I am definitely going to.


At work I see numerous parents letting their kids get away with murder. These kids are talking back, kicking, screaming, and even swearing at their parents. Every time I glance at the parent after witnessing their child at like a complete hellion, the parent just stares down or sighs in defeat.
Well, I don't know about you all, but my parents would have murdered me in cold blood if I ever hit, kicked, or swore at them. When I was a kid I was spanked when I acted up. Why don't parents do this anymore? Why don't parents at least use any form of discipline anymore?
I know "spanking" is a controversial subject for some, but I grew up with it. I wasn't beaten, I didn't get bruises or broken bones... I just learned to obey. Nowadays, people will rule you out as a child abuser. I'm sorry but my child will wear their pants around their waist, my child will not ever lay a hand on me (and live), my child will not use profanity towards me or any respectable adult, and my child will be raised to respect people around them.

Comment please. I want your opinions on this.
