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...

Day 6 Shake Day

This is day six and although there wasn't anything really eventful about the day there are updates to be shared. My husband and I have noticed that we are sleeping better and waking up with fewer aches and pains and issues. Now, we are not sure if that's because of the weight loss or the cleansing that we are going through. Also, I have noticed that while studying for my LSAT I have more focus and ability to analyze better. My exercise stamina is better. I did workout again at the gym but I am winding down. I am only doing 45 minutes on the elliptical and 30 minutes walking. No extra bike ride tonight. All in all, we are getting used to the program and feel that we have benefited from it. We are also going to continue try to reach our respective goal weight. Our next purchase will be the 30 program which we will share. Since it cost $200+ each we are trying save money by just splitting it. I will keep you posted and on Tuesday of next week (August 16th) I will post our 9 day pr...

Isn't this over yet?!

Sometimes I just want to scream! It feels like the last 2 and half years have just taken a crap on me and my family and there seems no end in sight.  Oh let's recap shall we... 2016 was my son's first open heart surgery followed by a plethora of doctor's appointments and other surgeries. I thought it was over by the end of the year and took the advice of Whitney Houston and friends when I exhaled. However, my fun filled days were not over yet and I found myself dumbfounded by the turn of events in my life.  2017 started out fine...well not really. January brought us the bad news that our black Lab Molly Mae had cancer. It was in her bones and basically there was nothing to do but love her.  So, that's what we did. We took her home and loved her. Then, in April we were informed that my son needed to have another open heart surgery because the tissue valve that they put in was not performing the way that they thought that it would and now needed ...

Nail Journal Update

No, my five wonderful readers, I have not forgotten about you. I went camping! Yes, yours truly went into the woods and camped. Actually I drove through the woods to a cabin. But before you say that's not real camping. Let me elaborate. It was a one room cabin, no running electricity, no running water, no restroom. See...that is camping.  And before you say "ewww" there was an outhouse down the dirt road for us to use. Now you can say ew.  Really it wasn't so bad.  We camped out in Hermit Park by Estes Park Colorado .  So we were out there for 4 nights, 5 days. That's a lot when you have to ration water, keep your own food cold in the cooler (which this wasn't too hard since there was still snow on the ground) and figure out lighting at night. Now in all fairness, the cabin had propane lighting and a stove with a heater, Not too bad.  Why am I telling you this and what does this have to do with nails? I'll tell you.  As you ...
