Back in the saddle again.

Recently I went to a writers meeting of an organization that I used to be very active in. I was thrilled to see all the writers and the organizer Lori, again. The more we talked, the more my creative juices flowed. I missed writing more than I realized. No, my blog doesn't count. At least, I don't think it does. I have finished my book, The Great Chase, and am now on the hunt for a good editor. I am hoping to find one soon to get started on the revisions.
 
I have now started on my other book, Sleepless Nights, a collection of scary and strange stories. I am hoping to have that done by the end of this year and get it edited and revised by next year. Of course, as most writers know, writing is not a very lucrative business unless you are "discovered" and make it big, like Stephen King or Anne Rice. So I will have some life changes this year. I am looking forward to starting my real estate classes. That's right I said real estate classes. I am looking forward to being a real estate agent. Of course that will not stop me from being creative and continuing my writing. So when I am completely rich and famous, I can buy a big fat house and live like a queen. In the meanwhile, I will be a working stiff like the rest of the world.
 
I have been an at home writer and CFO of My Family Inc. (that is not a real business by the way) for a few years now and am looking forward to moving forward with my career. But my classes don't start until mid April so until that time I am doing a couple of things. One, I am on this whole Paleo "lifestyle" trying to lose some weight. Every one's new year's resolution. I kinda have to stick with this though as this is doctor ordered. So I have been working out three times a week for about an hour or two. It hasn't been easy but I have stuck with it. I will admit that I feel better and have seen some success but I have fallen off the horse now and then. I'm not perfect.
  
Second, write..write...write. I am trying to write a least 30 minutes a day. That is very difficult with family and life in general. Those of you who have kids and a job can understand where I am coming from with time crunch issues. But I find that writing at night is best for me. I can decompress from the day and relax enough to let my mind come up with something wonderful. 
 
As I mentioned earlier I am part of a writers group, the Boulder Writer's Workshop, and I was asked-all members with blogs were asked-to link their blogs to the website. I was hesitant of course. Here all the writers have blogs about Poetry, book reviews and other serious issues and mine is called My Bytch Blog where I B&C about crap that happens in my life and random stuff that my warped brain comes up with. **Sigh** I felt like the black sheep of the family. I reluctantly agreed and hope I don't get laughed out of my writers group for being some hack writer of shitty satire. Well we'll see. I'll keep you posted.
           
Until next time...

16 days later...

Well, it's been sixteen days since my last post and well I can honestly say that I am totally disappointed. I thought that I would see some sort of growth but I haven't. What's worse is that my nails are so thin and weak that I had to actually cut some of my nails because they tore. Not because they grew. They were weak to begin with but at least they feel a little better. I mean I can now take a shower and the hot water doesn't hurt my fingernails. I am also a bit perplexed at the my second to the last finger. If you look close you can see the part of the nail that had solar on it and the amount of growth but my nail never got longer and this is not one of the one's that I had to trim. Things that make you go hummmm.  So here are my nails. I have been using the Nail-Aid Keratin for 16 days. It says 3 days growth but in three days I saw no growth. I have been receiving e-mails and comments suggesting that I use the O.P.I. Nail Strengthening but I refuse. ...

Change of the guard, nail style

I have had the flu for the past week which offered me the opportunity to spend time with my nails. Turn a negative into a positive, right? Well, after my last post I thought about the products that I was using to try to get my nails to grow.  My Pinterest account  Jennipher Dallas  has been getting a lot of "likes" and repins. My board 'Nails I wish I had'   has especially been getting a lot of attention. One picture in particular has had over 300 likes/repins since my last blog. The picture is of the OPI Nail Envy Nail Strengthener. I did look up OPI and although they do not do animal testing but there is formaldehyde in it.  When you're sick you think about how you got sick and what you need to do to get better. So this got me thinking about the stuff in the products that I use. Formaldehyde has been linked with Cancer . Now, I'm not going to go into to all that stuff and preach about it. Everyone has to make their own decisions. But I decided t...

Dilemma-ethical-uh?

If you google the word dilemma it comes up with the following definition: "A situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two or more alternatives, especially equally undesirable ones." Then goes on to give synonyms like quandary, predicament and vicious circle.  *Sigh* Well, wonders never cease in my world and for the sake of my sanity I hope my five whole readers understand what I am about to spill. Everyone has someone in their family that does not sit right with them (I'm trying to be ambiguous here for a reason). I am no different. I have no real family anymore. Since my father died almost two months ago, I have NO family anymore. Sure, I have a sibling, who is a complete and utter moron. This person is a run away from responsibility, self-centered individual who I have tried to help throughout the years. The other person is a selfish, self-centered, manipulative, gas bag who thinks the world revolves around them and goes out the ...
