Still alive. Dealing with the quarantine that's going on. Not much is really new.

Oh! My Christmas bucket is located HERE if you'd like to leave me a present (it's mostly for graphics, but if you wanna leave me something else, like a fic or something, feel free to ask questions)

Holy shit it's been awhile! Not a whole lot going on in life. Just taking care of the house and making sure my brother gets fed ~chuckles~. Doing some writing and WoWing too. Need to do some more writing. Also signed up for this years LJ Treat bucket for Halloween. Forgot to post about it before now. Here's a link to my bucket if you wanna leave me something.

I signed up on the lj trick-or-treat, where you can get a post and people can leave you things for Halloween. Here's my bucket link! Click here!!!!!

I mean, if you want to that is. ~grins~

Wow. Been a long time since I updated. That's gonna change. Getting back to using this thing again. Pretty sure I'm gonna start messing with my blinkies again (making them I mean). Also really wating a paid account again. I hate the basic and I refuse to have the plus cause I don't want ads. So yeah, need to see about getting a paid account again. Soon as I figure out how to get the money. ~Grins~

This is my easter basket for this year. It's for leaving easter gifts in (like graphics, blinkies, anything you wish).

Haven't been around a lot, I know. I'll likely make a much bigger post later on. I'm still here, still kicking and still good.

Figured I should update this thing. I'm still kicking. My brother and I recently got a loan for the house, which we had been working on doing so we could pay the one mom and dad had off. After all, the house is ours now, so we figured it'd be better to have a loan in our names. Plus, it lowered our house payments a little. Which is good. Other then that, not really much else going on. Just us, trucking on. Still single, still look the same, still just the brother working. I don't think I could handle a job, being as I get to anxious. Like seriously. Also, I miss having a car. Our Taurus died back in the middle of March and we've been without a car since. Brother rides his motorcycle to and from work, which he now work in town instead of an hour away.

I'm still alive. Just haven't really had much to post about. I'll likely make some kind of post later on.

Wow, can't believe it's been almost 3 months since I updated this thing. It's not that I've forgotten about it or abandoned it, it's just that I haven't had anything to really update about. Well, I guess I could have updated when I bought my Kindle Fire HD (with money earned through swagbucks) but I can just as easily mention it now. Other then that, not a lot going on. We're still trucking. Been almost a year now since we lost dad (it'll be a year come May 4th). Really not a lot to update about. I just figured I should so people didn't think I'd completely forgotten about this.

~sighs~

Seriously? Can it be over now? First I lose dad back in May and now today I learned that the guy I considered an uncle because he'd been with my aunt so long, passed away at 6:18 this evening. I hope and pray that 2013 is a much better year. Not really anything else to post about at the moment so off I go.

Just hopping on here to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Hannakuh, Kwanza or whatever you celebrate. Not really much has been happening lately. I've been quiet on LJ cause there's not really been much to post. I'm making a turkey for Christmas. This will be my first time cooking a turkey so it should be rather interesting. We'll see how well I manage to cook it.

In other news, Tim works today (which isn't unusual). The weird part is he works first shift today. So instead of working from 2:30 to 10:30, which would mean I need to cook early so he gets to eat before work, he'll be working from 7 am to 3 pm, so he'll be able to eat dinner at home tonight. Which means I don't have to start cooking so early. I will be doing a few things early though. I boiled the eggs earlier to make the deviled eggs with. So I'll be cutting them open and taking out the yolks and all that good stuff fairly early. Also, we aren't having pie for dessert, I bought a cupcake mix (though I guess I could make it as a cake if I wanted). So I'm going to bake the cupcakes shortly after I get up and then store them in the fridge (or in the cake saved I have) until after dinner. I just figured I'd do that since the turkey will be using the oven for most of the afternoon. I am not stuffing the turkey, so it'll cook faster. But still, I'm going to be busy. Planning on wearing my new red dress that Tim bought me earlier in the month just for the hell of it. Not sure if I'm gonna watch tv while doing all the prep work or if I'll just have Christmas music on. I haven't decided. It'll likely be music though, as that way I can sing along with it as I'm flitting about the kitchen.

Anyways, that's all really. Posting with my new icon I had made for me. I love it so. It's so pretty. We won't be having a white Christmas this year either, but that doesn't really surprise me. We rarely ever have a white Christmas. But still, it's gonna be nice having Tim home for dinner instead of not. Later!

Meant to post the link to this earlier but I have a trick or treat bucket this year. It's here (clicky on here and it will take you to it).

Holy shit! I can't believe it's been THREE MONTHS since I updated this thing! Well, okay, yes I can. Because there for awhile, Livejournal refused to want to work for me and I really had no reason to update so I just didn't bother. I still really don't have any news to update with for the most part. Still haven't found a job, no one seems to want to hire someone that has no job experience and who isn't a high school student. Well excuse the fuck out of me for not having a job before. I went from high school student to wife in just a couple years, in which case I was busy taking care of the household and then right before I got asked for a divorce, I had moved back home to take care of my parents after my dad's stroke and my mom's car accident. After mom was better, I became her driver to and from work, in addition to taking care of my father, so that was my "work" until my mom passed. And then I was just dad's caretaker until he passed away this year. So seriously, when was I supposed to have gotten a fucking job to get experience? Huh? I mean, taking care of my parents was a FULL TIME JOB! So yeah, not looking good.

In other news, I got up enough money through swagbucks that I was able to order my Keurig coffee machine. Also bought the WoW expansion and a My K-Cup filter as well. Working on earning more swagbucks to get more amazon cards to order other things as well. So yeah, that's about it

Wow, been almost two months since I updated this thing. Sorry about being quiet. Been busy trying to find a job. So far, no freaking luck. Seems I'm much more qualified to be a homemaker (like I've been doing) then any kind of job. Kind of sucks cause we need the money. I really don't want to have to worry about having a roof over our heads. ~sighs~ So yeah, life is sucking right now. I'm not gonna let it get me down though. I will hold my head high and keep a positive attitude (as best I can anyway). Also...

Dear Karma,
What the fuck did we do to piss you off? Haven't we paid enough? I mean, we've had shitty years since at least 2005 (which is when shit really went to pot). Don't you think we've fucking paid enough? This fucking shit is getting OLD really fucking fast!
No Love,
Me

That's all. I just felt the urge to vent a little.

So, dad's memorial was today. He looked good. Was nice seeing some of the family again. The memorial was beautiful. We just had family get up and talk about memories. My brother Russell started and then his ex-wife Laura got up. Aunt Shirley was after that and then Uncle Jerry. Tim went then and he broke down. Russell and Laura went up and hugged him while I cried against Jackie. I, on the other hand, did not get up and speak because I knew if I tried to, I would have been a sobbing mess on the floor.

Now comes the fun part of dealing with some thing tomorrow and dealing with the mortgage company and praying that we're able to keep our heads above water. I'm not sure how things are going to go right now but I'm positive that we will make it through this. We have a large support group (both family and friends) so I'm positive things will be okay.

Anyways, just wanted to make a short update. That's all.

P.S. I am NEVER, EVER drinking like I did Monday afternoon again! At least, not mixing the liquors. And NO MORE Tequila!

Just as the title says, it's with a heavy heart that I have to make this post. I got the news just a short bit ago that my father has passed away. I now have to drive home from Ohio so that my brother and I can make arrangements. So if you see me on and I don't talk much or I seem like I'm not all there, please do not think I am ignoring you. I have a lot on my mind right now and I might just not feel like talking. I paused in my packing to head home so I could make this post.

This is all.

Good morning LJ! Yes, I am indeed up already because I'm getting ready to leave for Ohio! It's finally here! I'm just about to go hope in the shower before I finish putting things in the car. Anyways, that's all there is at the moment. See you all soon!

Wanted to take this chance to wish one of my bestest friends in the world Katie, aka manycs2050, a very happy birthday! Below the cut are some presents for you. I hope you like them. You never know, there may end up being more if the mood strikes me.

( Clicky for prezzies!!!!!Collapse )

Anyways, not really up to a whole lot. Counting down the days til my trip to Ohio. The 21st of April is fast approaching. I can't wait! ~bounces~ My Easter Basket is still available if people want to leave me an easter present. Just a little over a week to go before they unscreen all the comments and I'll be able to see what I got.

My Easter Basket is located HERE. Feel free to fill it with graphics, blinkies, icons, poems, fanfic or anything else you might feel like. Comments are screened until Easter though, so if you're leaving me a file to download or something (like on a spot that expires after 7 days) you'll want to wait until almost Easter.
