The One in Which I say Ooops I did it again...

...and by that I mean, I stopped blogging for a long time. Life has been hectic and I'm a member of so many different sites, I don't think I can be blamed for falling short on a few of them. However, I'm anticipating a lot of activity over the coming months. My plans to study abroad, if realized, will happen next semester, not next fall like I had originally planned. Leaving earlier than expected has thrown so much up in the air; but if it works out, then I'll be keeping a promise I made to myself a long time ago.

While abroad, I plan on blogging, posting video, and posting photos. I've chosen Blogger as my blog site. I'll post my pictures here as well, and my youtube link is here.

I'll be back soon with more up-dates.

The One in Which I Speak Briefly & Promise More Later

My life over the past few weeks has been hectic. My parents have health issues and trying to keep up with them both has worn me out. I want to blog properly today, but my muse has abandoned me. This is very bad news on several levels because it has effectively put a halt on the novel I had hoped I would have finished by the end of this month. I desperately want to get back into the swing of things though, so keep an eye on this spot. New up-dates will follow...

The One in Which I Ponder a New Career

I've been in search of employment, a career where I don't feel like I've wasted my money at university; and now I think I've discovered it. I want a job writing catchy slogans for businesses. I've been searching about the internet, you know, checking out the competition; and this is what I've found.



Sigh



No sensitivity training needed at this location.



Well, I guess I'm qualified for it, but the hours are probably crap.



As long as the punishment fits the crime...That's what I say...



As long as the punishment fits the crime...That's what I say...again

In spite of the competition, I still feel like I could excel in this field, or possibly I could write catchy headlines for the local paper... Stay tuned.

Here is mine

This picture was taken in Puerto Vallarta in 1998. My how time flies. It is an unusual mixture of the modern with the past, as a local rides his burrow into town amidst automobiles.

The One in Which I Introduce Myself

I'm not sure what direction I'm going to take my blog yet, but I thought I would start with the standard what's in my bag. I took the picture below for another blog, but I didn't need it after all.--So what do I have?

1) One black bag... Oohhh how I love it.
2) One Coca Cola... My only true addiction.
3) Two Novels... The Alchemist and The Time Travelers Wife (both are great reads)
4) One Cell Phone...The battery stays dead. I don't even know why I carry it.
5) One Candle...I'm not weird. I bought a bunch of candles from a friend, and that one fell out in my bag. I've since gotten rid of it.
6) One job application...Still don't have the job.
7) One notebook... I always keep a notebook to write down ideas for future novels and current projects.
8) Make-up...Because I'm a girl
9) One mp3 player...because I can't live without music.
10) Altoids-cuz I love them, and I like to be able to make out at a moment's notice.
11) Bondage Beads...That isn't what they are, but that is what I call them. I like to accessorize on occasion.
12) One Hair scrunchie...Again, I'm a girl. I recently cut my own hair, and no longer need the scrunchie. P.S. Cutting your own hair... epic fail.
13) One Hair brush...I don't leave home without it.
14) One Coaster...I don't know why I have that in my bag.
