My Boring Life

Hi, guys! It's been a while since I've updated this blog, I know and I apologize. I've gone through a lot of things this year that has hampered me from doing much of anything aside living day-to-day. I'll give you a bit of a run down, if I can. February, my writing friends convinced me to get a story published. I mainly write fanfiction but made the decision to turn a celebrity fanfic into an original. Saw a bit more of an audience when I was able to rewrite, edit and post a chapter every day to every other day and my decision was made. You can actually find all of my progress on that  here . April found me pregnant for the first time in my life and everyone was super excited with the news. But in May, I miscarried. I feel bad because I don't want to try again but the husband wants to. Right now, it's a "if it happens, it happens" type of situation but the way my body is, I am really doubtful. My 40th birthday came and went without much flair due to wh...

Don't worry; this isn't a post where I'll lie and say that I'll start exercising to lose weight or save money or any of those tired resolutions we all come up with. I want to say that this is a revelation of sorts? I've come to the conclusion that I shouldn't hide what I really feel around anyone, whether it's online or in person. And that I should stop giving a damn if it offends people or make them look at me all weird. Just something personal that I've wanted to work on. I won't lie; I do want to start losing weight, getting back into the gym. If anything, for my health. September 2015, I found out that I was diabetic. I'm not on insulin and my fasting blood sugar is actually within range. My A1c fluctuates but not outrageously. I want to steer clear of taking insulin and in order for me to do that, I have to get off my ass and get myself active and better. Changing the way I eat is going to be a bitch. And it's something I never understoo...

Gotta love when this thing called life gets in the way of things! I know that I've been absent so I apologize. First things first: the temperature blanket has been frogged. Maybe with another year approaching, I'll become serious about it once more. It was doomed from the start: I wasn't aware of a project like that until a month after it should've started. Then, I'm always finding better patterns to work with: I'm very indecisive when it comes to basically everything in my life. I still have a lot of unfinished projects but the main priority is to finish my grandmother's blanket before her birthday. Hopefully, I'll post pictures of the progress soon. The pattern is called  Sophie's Universe  and it's a CAL (or a Crochet Along). I'm assuming that it was meant to last for a year, if not at least half a year. But it only took me a week to reach part 3; if I keep at it, I will reach my goal in time.  That's basically it. Not much has happene...

Yes... it has been a while since I've posted anything on this blog. Life has been up and down and a bit of sideways; LOL! But the one constant thing it has been is, of course, boring. Guess I'll start with another quick update. Last time I posted, I don't think it was even 2012 yet. I guess the "major" news to update is the actual reason for the delay in posting (not like anyone reads this but... just in case someone decides to waste a few minutes of their life...): I've started focusing more on my writing. My sis gave me the encouragement to start posting my main story on this website, fanfiction.net. For those of you interested, I'll post a link to my profile on that site. Because of the language, I had decided to give it a rating of M. Problem with that site is that when you browse for stories, the default is K-T. Most people wouldn't bother to search manually for M-rated stories, especially after the "Purge" as we called it: the site star...

That's just crazy that it's been almost a year since my last post and I still have no followers :( Oh well; I knew that I would be posting blogs just for my health! So, let's catch up! The last time I posted, I was enjoying Philly. We left on Sunday but before, I got to enjoy a few of the remaining sites downtown. I also found myself inside the Field House, watching the various NFL games as well as the beginning of the Titans/Cowboys game. That was October. November, my husband and I celebrated our 7 year anniversary. He took me to Tides, a fancy restaurant where we enjoyed good food, a semi-private setting and even an anniversary balloon they had set up at the table! My sister-in-law, Ashley did my make-up and my husband gave me this look all night that I really, REALLY enjoyed seeing! For Thanksgiving, instead of doing the traditional, we went 45 minutes out to a buffet. Best... idea... EVER! There was no need to worry about getting food done, cleaning up the dishes and e...

Okay; I see that the last time I posted anything was in July! So, this is a rundown of what has happened since then! July I want to say that everything was going fine after our trip to Memphis. Ashley and Ramil were reportedly doing fine... until I get a phone call from both of them asking us to come get them! Long story short, they got into it with Ash's parents... again, and volunteered to leave. August Because we saw that there was a possibility that they would be staying with us, again, Albert and I decided to look into getting our own home. We were actually trying to find out the steps we had to take in order to make it possible. Never imagined that it was as easy as getting a mortgage loan officer to do a credit check! It actually happened at the end of July but we gave the Realtors a money order for their services; found out that Albert is only 4 points away from qualifying for our first house! We were told what was needed to attempt to get those points and started on that q...
