From January 09 to April 20...

I'll be on a temporary hiatus of sorts. I may have mentioned it in an earlier blog post, but during those dates I'll be in this course called Focus For Change.

Basically it's this 15 week long course for women 18+ to help them with their school and career goals. We have Math and English lessons (and computer, although I don't really need those) and counselling sessions every few days. It's from 9 AM to 2 PM every week day.

So, unless I get some down time during the weekends I probably won't be writing much until the end of April. After which I'll be getting a job and will be busy with that.

I know only like two people read my stories and blog, but I don't want to feel like I'm letting anyone down.

Sorry you two! xo

Happy (belated) birthday Jesus!

And a Merry Christmas (or whatever you do or don't celebrate) to everyone else on earth.

My holiday was pretty fab. I'm glad it's over though. No more stressing about how I'm going to afford gifts and bills in the same month. I'm very glad it's only once a year.

Now just 9 more days until I turn into an old lady. Don't know what I'm going to do yet. I've got Spawn on the weekend after my birthday so I'll have to celebrate either this weekend in conjunction with New Years (if I actually go out) or I'll have to wait until the weekend after.

Only thing I know is my mom is taking me out to dinner the second weekend in January. Sweet. I just need to think of a place to go.

I kind of got set up with someone. A good friend of mine gave my number to a friend of hers. Then she talked to me a few days later and "warned" me that he might be calling. Apparently he's shy so she also gave me his number and told me to call him, haha. So I did and he seems nice. Soooo, yeah. It's kind of exciting.

I was going to get into a whole "2011 has been such-and-such kind of year" but I'll save that blog for later.

Farewell. xo

Late updates are late.

Sorry.

It's almost Christmas and it's been busy. I've barely had time to think let alone do anything about thinking.

So here's my meager update.

Sorry x2. xo

House

First off, sorry for the late journal update. But it ties in with my second thing.

Who loves House?

Me, that's who! The show is awesome and he is hilarious.

I'm still only in the second season so I have a lot of catching up to do.

Other than House things have been okay. I'm sick again and totally just not happy about it.

It's weird having a five year old. I still almost say "I have a four year old" and then have to correct myself. Like after a new year starts and people still write the old year for a while.

I'm still trying to decide what I want to get myself for Christmas and then my birthday just 10 days after that. I want to dye my hair blue and purple but I'm still iffy on that. Like this but purple instead of pink.

When you get your ears pierced they usually do it with a 16 or 18 gauge. I have my lobes at a 6 gauge right now and will be going to a 4. My goal right now is a 2, but we'll see when I get there. Nothing bigger than a 0.

Can't wait. xo

Happy birthday Princess!

That's right. My baby is no longer a baby. She's FIVE today!

Where on earth did the time go? It's hard to believe five years ago I was holding my 12 hour old baby, scared out of my damn mind.

Sigh.

Who said she was allowed to grow up, anyhow? xo

I'm not 5, I swear.

Although sometimes I wonder if I have a mentality of one.

Last year, I think, Spawn's father* got her one of those bears from Build-A-Bear, with a tutu dress and shoes.

My mom thought she'd get another set of clothes for the bear for the upcoming birthday next week.

While at the mall today we went into BAB. I swear I felt five years old. I wanted everything! The outfits for those stuffed animals are so cool. Their wardrobes are superior to my own. I wish I was a stuffed bear.

But, alas. xo

I lied.

The word I wanted was "insult".

Which definitely does not start with a 'P'.

My bad. xo

Don't you hate it when..

You're talking to someone and the word you want to use just goes missing?

I'm having that unfortunate problem right now.

I think it starts with a 'P' but I can't entirely say.

Hmm.. xo

Followers.

That's right, I'm about to have THREE of you! Cause this blog is a shout out to my bestie Kenz! She's fantastic.

We should all strive to be like her. xo

Haven't I had enough?

I'm sick. A-freaking-gain. This is basically non-stop for two months now! I'm getting rather sick of not being able to breathe, blowing my nose every 7 seconds, sinus headaches all day everyday. It's getting old.

Why am I not taking medication you may ask?

Well, I've seen in action people that don't take medication every time they get the sniffles (I used to be one of those), after a while they just don't get sick anymore because their bodies are stronger. So I'm going to suffer along and just hope I haven't screwed my immune system entirely.

On the bright side of this, I'll be saving lots on adult medication. Although I'll be spending more on Halls and tissues, but it'll work itself out I think.

In other news, there are 26 kids (plus a few random siblings) coming to the birthday party on Sunday. Oh my God. This is what I get for over-inviting and assuming half invited wouldn't be able to come.

Crap.

Which means loot bags are a no-go this year. There's no way in a frozen hell I'm spending a hundred bucks just so everyone gets to take something home. We have a pinata, although it doesn't match the theme, and I'm going to stuff it chock full of candy and let the kids fight over that. May the best kid win.

Not really. I'll make sure there's enough for everyone. Poor pinata. I just imagined it getting hit with a stick by 27 kids.

Poor Spongebob. xo

Migraines suck.

That is all.

New look!

I completely redid the look of this blog and my stories page. I'm quite pleased with it!

You should go read my stories, btw. xo

Christmas developments.

Instead of buying Princess toys and etc for Christmas this year I'm going to decorate her room. Totally overhaul it. Paint the walls and dresser, do some circles (to match the curtains and bedding set), some kind of flower mural, some decals for the dresser and bed. It's going to look fantastic!

Instead of have her help I'm going to let her pick out a throw pillow, or a lamp shade, or a poster, or something to that effect. I want her to walk into her room once it's all done and be completely blown away. I may even get her reaction on video lol.

Now I need to figure out colours and how I'm going to do the mural and whatnot. I'm just sad that I have to wait a whole month, and more, to do this haha.

Yay for home-renos! xo

Who's awesome?

My friend Rain, that's who!

I'm on this mom forum and wanted to link pictures on my profile to certain sites (such as this one). I couldn't find a link to do it, but she did!

We should all bow down to her awesome Google finding skills! xo

What? A new update?

That's right. I got around to writing something before a month had gone by haha.

Honestly though my life is super boring right now. I'm kind of in a stand still until January. I'm "enrolled" in this group that helps women further their education and helps them get ready for the work-force. It's a 14 week program, every day from 9 to 2 or something like that. I'm really excited for it.

I don't know what I want to do when I finish it though. I know I want to go to college, but I'm not sure what for yet. So I'll have to figure that one out.

I was handing out resumes but there didn't seem much point in starting a job only to have to quit in a month. I'm going to apply to big places like WalMart and Sears and The Bay and etc and hope one of them hires me for the Christmas season.

Only 9 days until Princess's birthday party, and then 12 days to her actual birthday. The party is going to be an underwater theme. I've got a bunch of fish (and whales, snails, sharks, squids, etc etc) drawn up and I just have to buy some big pieces of paper to draw them on so I can decorate the party room.

We're doing her party at a pool this year. Which actually surprised the hell out of me. One, cause I didn't think she'd want a pool party. And two, cause Idiot actually paid every penny to book the pool. I expected a fight or something, but he didn't fuss at all.

I'm doing cupcakes instead of a cake and they're going to be fantastic. Rainbow cupcakes with blue icing and some sort of fish candy on the top. Maybe those little Swedish Fish candies.

For her birthday I'm going to put temporary pink streaks in her hair. She's going to fa-reak out lol. I was going to buy her skates, and that's still the plan, but I'll have to see how expensive this party is going to be. The skates may have to be a Christmas present.

Speaking of, my mom bought her this cute comforter/pillow set. It's purple with different coloured polka dots on it. She also got her a robe with polka dots to match. So my plan is to make Princess some curtains that go along with the theme. I'm actually love to decorate her whole room in polka dots, but we'll see.

On a side note; I still think boys should come with a manual. It would make my life so much simpler.

I need more money. Or something. xo

Well hello.

Yes, I realize it's been a long ass time since I posted last. And a long ass time before that and before that and before that. I don't know why it's so hard to keep up with this blog.

Halloween was fun! Spawn went as a cowgirl, gun and all. I carved super fantastic pumpkins that are all rotting now. I swiped about 50% of the nights' candy spoils, which I plan to eat most of after I post this, haha.

My cats are getting more insane as the days go by. The little one is almost 3 months and the bigger one is 10 months I believe. They go through a 2K bag of food in like a week, the little gremlins!

Which reminds me. They're both sitting at my feet, looking at me like they're starving, so I should probably feed them soon lol.

I was going to ramble on but honestly it's 12:30 AM and I have cats to feed and candy to eat and weird movies to watch. My mom's boyfriend lent me The Evil Bong and I've yet to finish it.

Adieu. xo

Children and cats.

Seriously, what is the attraction? Sure they're cute and fuzzy and small, but they have sharp teeth and claws. Two things Spawn has repeatedly come into contact with in the past few months.

And yet she still continues to abuse and maul them at every opportunity.

She is turning 5 next month, right? Not 1? Sometimes I wonder.

In any case, it's driving me crazy. If I didn't love the little fuzzballs.. Well I don't know what I'd do. I guess it'd be mean to threaten getting rid of them, eh?

In other news, boys are very confusing. I believe they should all come with a manual so we know what the heck they mean when they do something.

In different news, Firefox has gone nuts. It's red-lining words I know are spelled right (has, nuts, words, it's, etc). And whenever I exit out a window it tells me Firefox crashed. Which it didn't, because I clicked the X in the corner.

When'd my life become so stressful?

Oh, right. xo

Ah, uhm, hi!

*clears throat*

So, yes, it's been a while. It's not like I've been super uber busy either. I just haven't even thought of writing a blog.

Funny considering I update my stories every few days.

Which you should go read, btw.

It seems silly to just go on about what's gone on in the last month, so I won't bother right now. I'm having a bit of trouble with Spawn at the moment anyway.

So I'll just end this hear and hope I update again soon haha.

Until then. xo

Here we are again.

It's been quite a while since my last update. I swear I'll try and do better for next time.

Spawn's first day of SK is tomorrow. I'm excited for both her and myself. Her, because she loves school and seeing her friends. Me, because I'll have time to myself for a change.

I think the plan is to go on a small jog down a backstreet near my place. I've been losing weight and am super proud of myself, now I just need to get myself in shape and tone myself up a bit. After my tattoo heals up I'm going to start my workouts again.

The boyfriend is still around. He hasn't annoyed me too much, so that's a good sign haha. Hopefully things will work out and he'll be around for a while.

I think I'm going to start handing out resumes soon, too. I was thinking tomorrow, but I may just take the day for myself. So probably next week when Princess starts her school schedule full time (which is Tuesday, Thursday, every other Friday... and stupid, IMO). I'm thinking Tim Horton's or small cafe's or something. I'm not sure yet.

We went to a BBQ that my mom's work hosted on Monday. There was face painting, sparkly tattoos, painting pictures, bracelet making, merry-go-rounds, food, the works. We had lots of fun.

Bye for now. xo

Well, that was interesting.

To say the least, I think.

It seems I have a boyfriend. I'm kind of nervous since my last one didn't turn out so well. But definitely excited to start this new part of my life. He seems to care a lot about me which is a new feeling. I like it.

I've also been learning a lot of things about a certain person in my past. None of it is good stuff, but it's helping me figure things out.

I actually didn't have much to say today haha. Just thought I'd write a small update.

Oh well. xo

Holy Cripes.

I just realized I haven't written a blog in almost two weeks. Whoopsie!

I still don't know what to write haha. Uhm.. I got into a fight with a raccoon over the last half of a sandwich and it got me. 20 stitches and 4 scars later, I think I'll be okay.

Not really. I burned myself with a whisk, of all things. In two spots. On the same day, no less. I don't know where my head was at.

Then later after Princess was in bed I went to have a bath to relax. I was lighting candles and my hand slipped on the side of the tub and plowed right into the hot lighter. That was the end of that "relaxing" bath.

In other news, I'm going on my second date of the weekend later tonight. Woohoo. The one yesterday was super lame. We went to dinner and he groped on me the whole time. Gag. Needless to say I won't be going out with him again.

Tonight another guy and I are going bowling. I'm hopeful that this date will be funner and better than yesterday's. Wish me luck lol.

Hmm.. my cat is still insane. I actually think she's getting more crazy as time goes on. She's more cuddly though, which is nice.

I'm excited for my tattoo appointment on the 31st. I can't wait!

Yhup, I got nothing lol. xo

Another Monday.

Another weekend gone by. Another week to live through.

My weekend was pretty great, actually. Went to Guelph Friday night and then Wasaga on Saturday for the day. I got a tan, woo! Still not as dark as I'd like to be, but definitely not as ghostly pale as usual lol.

Weighed myself this morning and was happily surprised to see I've lost 6 lbs since Thursday morning. Maybe I'm finally pulling out of this rut and ready to kick my ass into gear. I'm also cutting down on carbs and sugary drinks (..maybe) so hopefully that will help a bit, plus the little workouts I'll be doing at home every day.

I'm pumped! xo

Have a good weekend everyone!

Thought I'd post a quick blog while I'm waiting for my hair to dry.

I'm jetting off to Guelph and then Wasaga Beach this weekend! I'm super excited. No kids, just me and Beau from 11 PM tonight to Sunday afternoon.

Just a side note; I hate packing. I used to love it when I was a teen, but that was before I had Princess. Now I hate it. I always overpack and overthink everything I bring. It drives me nuts.

Until next time. xo

Goodbye forever.

I recently told my ex I never want to speak to him again.

I feel kind of free. We were together for a long time and I never expected, or wanted for that matter, to get to the point where I wouldn't want him in my life. But it's happened, and I'm rather happy about it.

He of course wasn't exactly pleased, but I honestly couldn't care less than I already don't. I realized that I was gaining nothing from the friendship.

And I just need to move the fuck on. We broke up in March and it was just stringing along like it always did. I don't think we would have gotten back together in the future (again), but the possibility of moving on completely and falling in love with another person wouldn't have been so readily available for me, I think.

I loved him a lot so letting go has been hard. Letting go of the future I'd envisioned and spent so much time wanting. Letting go of just the possibilities. The hardest part in letting go is knowing they could have happened if he'd have just grown up a little and let things happen.

But it doesn't matter now. Because now I have let go and am moving on. I've found someone that I care a lot about and hope it turns into something.

All this hope is making my face ache. xo

Fricken-fracken-flacken-GRR!

I swear I have two of the most idiotic ex's of all time.

Of. All. Time.

How did I end up with two of them anyway? Whut tha fack.

In other news, Princess and Satin and becoming the best of friends. Satin lets her kiss her and put blankets on her and wheel her around in Princess' wheel-y suitcase. They like playing tag. It's too cute some days.

In other-other news, we're waking up at 6 AM tomorrow morning to go to Formosa. One of my mom's friends lives there so we're going for the long weekend. Apparently there's this "homecoming" something or other.

There's a dance and my mom's friend is a chaperone (honestly... chaperones? *snicker*) and my mom is tagging along. I'm stuck at their house with Nutbar and after she's asleep I have a mickey of Raspberry Sourpuss to enjoy.

Aaahhh... they have a trampoline. Drunk trampolining, anyone?

In more news, there's about a 70% chance that I'm going to Wonderland next weekend with Beau. All depends on Idiot and whether or not he's going to keep his word about visitation or change it again. I'd love to go off about him, but I'll keep that off the internet lol.

In more-more news, swimming goggles have magic powers. A friend of mine has parents with a pool. Last week it was really hot so she invited us to go swimming. Usually Princess doesn't like pools where she's can't touch the bottom where the water goes above her waist. We stuck some goggles on her and she was like a whole new kid. She bobbed up and down, kicked with her feet with me holding her belly, and even moved along the side of the pool a few feet. I was so proud!

Her father is supposed to be signing her up for swimming lessons soon (considering they start August 2nd) so I'm going to buy her some pink (they gotta be pink!) goggles for the magic swimming powers. I can't wait to see her swimming.

I'm being bugged for food and drink so I guess that's my cue to go.

Who ever said they need to be fed more than once a day anyway? xo

Fabulous.

Well, I just had a great weekend. Met a guy I'm interested in, spent the night at his house, met his two adorable kids, drove an ATV. Yup, greatness.

That ATV thing was so fun. I tagged along on the back first while Guy* (*not his actual name) raced around with his friends on their dirt bikes. Then he let me drive haha. I didn't run into anything *whew*

My back is super sore from rocking his baby to sleep lol. Well, he'll be 1 soon, but compared to my giant 4 year old, he's tiny. The cutest thing, too. Little sticky-outy ears and two top and two bottom teeth. When I ask for a high-five he smiles and ignores me lol.

The older one, he's 2, has quite the arm on him. He thinks it's funny to catch you surprisingly by throwing a ball at your face haha. Little bugger.

*pats tummy* Time to lose a few pounds and a few inches. Hopefully I get in the right frame of mind to stick to the workouts this time. Wish me luck, the 3 people that read this blog LOL.

Peace, love and something else. xo

Lordy.

I definitely just spent the entire day at my mom's, stuck in her air conditioned living room, in this 42 degree weather. *gag* I feel terrible for Princess, but I'm not having us die of heat stroke today.

I think tomorrow is supposed to be 2 degrees cooler, which hooray, but yuck. I'm over this heatwave.

I found a renewed love for Roller Coaster Tycoon today. I used to play it all the time. Only thing that sucks is you need the CD and it's my brother's game. Lame.

Saturday is only two days away! This time on Saturday I'll be in Guelph probably riding an ATV lol. I am excited.

Write later. xo

Whoops.

Seems I haven't posted in over a week. Oopsie.

It's been hot. And stressful lately. Stupid baby daddy drama.

I got a new phone today. Samsung Elevate. I lurve it. I posted my BlackBerry on Kijiji to sell and someone replied, and when the time came to come get it, she never showed. Which really annoys me. Like, if you're going to take the time to reply and make me find some stupid number then at least come get the damn phone. Seriously.

I can't wait until the heat of the summer goes away. I cannot stand humidity. At least my friend is letting me borrow her air conditioner. I'd probably die without it, no joke.

I got two new books today. Waking The Witch by Kelley Armstrong and Gone by Michael Grant. Mz Armstrong is one of my favourite authors. I was in Chapters today and my mom said Gone looks interesting, so I bought it lol. We'll see how it is.

I've mastered french braiding my own hair, yay! I don't know why, but I can't seem to do it as well on other people. Which is pretty annoying. At least I have Princess to practice on haha.

Adios. xo

What a morning.

My phone automatically turns on at 7, and if someone texts before that it comes up when the phone turns on. I texted them back and forth for maybe 15 minutes then went back to sleep.

I thought I had only slept a few minutes or so, because Princess always wakes me up to get her breakfast or whatever. This morning she hadn't turned the tv on, was just sitting quietly with her barbies.

I get another text at 8:30 from a friend saying she's on her way to pick Princess up. It was lucky I even looked at it because I thought it was Princess's dad. Anyway so I jump out of bed half awake and half blind cause I didn't grab my glasses, telling Princess she needs to hurry and get dressed.

My friend gets here and tells me she needs my booster seat, which is in my mom's van with her at work. I tell her so and she goes "Oh no, mine is in my husband's truck, looks like we'll have to skip today, sorry." and leaves.

I tell Princess to wait a minute while I get dressed, cause I was going to bus her there instead. She's going to this vacation bible school thing every morning this week from 9 - 12. I'm in the middle of getting dressed and my friend calls saying the extra booster was in the house, not the truck.

So here I am half naked with my mind all cluster-fucked. I'd been awake approx 5 minutes and was already getting ready to go out. My friend gets back and we get the car seat situation fixed. I have an appointment today at 2 so she said she'd just keep Princess at her house until I'm done.

I came back upstairs and went back to sleep. I've got a migraine this morning, well afternoon now, so my head hurts hella bad. Now I just need to finish getting dressed and get my ass out of bed and to this appointment.

Should be oodles of fun. xo

Special Mentions.

That's right. My first follower, evar! I am so proud of myself for creating such an awesome blog that someone felt the need to click that little button and is now in tune with all of my ramblings. Good for you!

Despite all that..

Despite today sucking and tomorrow sucking and Wednesday morning sucking, I've had a good night and am so excited for the weekend.

Saturday is this fair thing my mom's work hosts every year. I'm taking Princess to that and it should be fun. Plus I get to meet someone, so I'm excited for that.

And Sunday is Harry Potter! WOO! I am so super, duper 'cited for that.

I'm also happy that next week is going to be way less stressful and next weekend is going to be fun as well.

I'm taking Princess to see the new Winnie The Pooh movie next week. I've got a family get-together Saturday afternoon. Fun fun fun!

Thank you and goodnight! xo

More random info.

I'm bored and waiting for my second appointment of the day, so I thought I'd tell you all more about myself.

Not including farm cats, I've owned 15 cats throughout my life. I got Crackers when I was about 6 when she was a few months old. I named her. She's still kickin' at 14 years old now.

When my family lived on a farm we had a dog, a Beagle, named Buddy. He was technically my step-dad's dog but everyone else took care of him. He was hyper and a little crazy. He must have dug about 20 holes in the backyard. We always joked he was trying to dig his way to China. He liked to run away.

Before my parents split we lived in this townhouse next to a set of twins. They liked to tease me and one time dared me to eat a spider. I was 4 and ran home crying.

My first crush was a guy named Rikki. I was super, super shy when I was a kid. In grade 1 the teachers went on strike for two weeks. I got stung in the nose when I was 6 by a bee. My step-cousin and I found a dead kitten frozen in the snow. We tried digging it out and were going to bring it back to life. We used to fight over whose favourite colour was pink. On the farm I used to moo at the cows.

I moved from Kitchener when I was 4 into a town of 1,000. During which I lived in 5 houses, when I moved back to Kitchener at 12. The kid's in my class were real bitches. And I say that without bitterness lol. They all kind of hated me from about grade 4 to when I moved in grade 7.

Trick Or Treating was always fun in Teeswater. You'd go out for a few hours to almost every house and get tons of candy. The year I was 12 I got asked if I was too old to be T'O'Ting, so I didn't go after that.

I got my nose pierced the first time when I was 16. It fell out one night and I couldn't find it. I got it redone when I was 17 for my 18th birthday and it's been in since. I got my tongue pierced behind my mom's back when I was 16. The next day I made the mistake of eating fries at McD's. Newly pierced tongue + really salty french fries = huge blonde moment.

I was a band geek. I played bass clarinet and I really miss it. I went to band camp, but it's totally not like the movie at all.

Okay, shpeel over. I could go on but who's actually going to read it anyway lol.

See yah on tha flip side. xo

I knew Monday was my favourite day.

Today has been a great day. I've really enjoyed it. And I'm looking forward to the next few weeks as well. If they go how I want them to, I'll be a happy camper by the end of the month. So here's crossing my fingers. Cross 'em with me!

In other news, I have a very busy 3 days ahead of me. Princess has an eye appointment at 11 AM, I have this thing from 2:30 to 4. Wednesday I've got an appointment at 2. Thursday another appointment at 9:30. Busy, busy. Hopefully Friday is a little more low-key.

In more news, I really hate when Princess feels the need to stall going to sleep. It drives me right batty.

Catch y'alls latta. xo

I'm surely going to hell.

I got a laser pointer today for the cat. I've been having a grand ol' time running it around the house, watching her chase it. It's fantastic.

I also got her collar tag today. It's a little mouse with hers, mine and my phone number on it. So if she ever goes missing, or jumps out the window like my old cat, someone can call and let me know they found her.

Yeah, I live in an apartment building on the second storey. Sass, bless him, jumped out the window and was never seen again.

I didn't even notice until the next day because he liked to climb under my bed and hide up in there. I think I noticed because his food wasn't being eaten.

On another note, I found out my blood iron is so low I'm almost anemic (that's bad). I went to see a doctor today and all he told me is to take an iron supplement. Well nawww, really doc? Didn't you know I like being tired all the damned time? No? Well, now you do!

*insert eyeroll here*

Seriously though. Your iron is supposed to be between 80 and 300. 31 to 79 is iron deficient, 0 - 30 is anemic, 300+ is iron *whatever the word for too much of it is*. Mine is a 30-freaking-1. Are we not a little concerned here? My mom's was a 70 and her doctor sent her iron infusions, for pete's sake. But no, because my B12 and hemoglobin are within normal range, we're not worried at all and a supplement should clear that right up!

Whatever, doc. I'm gonna try the pills and see how they work though. Cause I really would like to not be tired all day. That'd sure be swell.

Peace out. xo

Second blog of the second blog in one day all at once?

Indeed.

So I have no idea what I plan to blog about. Like I said before my life isn't all that interesting. I'm not working and it's summer vacation, so how interesting could it be?

I did go to this car show thing earlier. Boy, am I exhausted. Four hours of walking around looking at cars. It was fun, but I'm glad it's only once a year. Like Christmas.

Hm.. I'd introduce myself but I'm positive anyone that's reading this already knows who I am. All two of you, ha ha. But since I have nothing else to do, here goes..

I am Stephanie and I'm currently 22 years of age. I was due Christmas day but came 10 days late. I'm tall (for a female) and have big feet. When I was a baby my uncle seemed to think Ducky was a good nickname. Unfortunately it's stuck. I have 4 tattoos and have been pierced 22 times, overall. I have plans to get at least 6 more tattoos and maybe one more piercing.

I like to dye my hair and I need glasses. I think my eyes are my best feature. I got a kitten last week and I named her Satin. Miss Princess seems to think her name is Ariel Rapunzel, but fortunately I convinced her that those could be the kitty's middle names. She's white with a splotch of grey on her head. She's 6 months old and entirely crazy. She likes to sleep on my fridge and play with my feet while I sleep.

I graduated high school in May and am looking into a career in Criminal Justice. I want to be something like a parole officer, if not an actual P.O. Up until quite recently I wanted to be a professional photographer, but nowadays it seems like anyone who can take a half decent picture thinks they can be a professional. I like Brisk and strawberry-banana Yogen Fruz. My favourite colour is black.

I have almost 100 books and have read them all twice. I still read "teen fiction" and am not ashamed to admit it. My favourite authors are Kelley Armstrong and Sarah Dessen. I love to write and am determined to write a novel some day.

Well, that's all I can think of for right this minute. It's getting on midnight and I should really be sleeping.

Au Revoir. xo

Well here we are.

As you can see, I've started a blog. My life isn't terribly interesting, but once in a while I have something worthy of blogging. Plus my daughter says and does hilarious things that I think should be shared with the universe.

So this is where I'm going to do just that.

Here's to my first post *clinks glass*

Stay tuned for more. xo
