I have finally done it. I have completely paid off all of my credit card debt and it feels…amazing. On August 2nd, 2011, my checking account was negative $52.00, my savings non-existent, and my credit card debt totaled almost $6,000. I remember writing in my journal “I can’t even afford groceries or gas anymore. This…
The other night while I was working at my part-time waitressing job, I had the pleasure of serving a man and a young lady we all assumed to be his daughter. He looked to be in his late 50’s and she in her mid 20’s. My first thought when seeing her was “man, I would…
When I was 12 years old I loved to shop at GAP Kids, much like other girls and boys my age. Unlike most other pre-teenies though, I had to wear GAP’s Husky line of pants and shorts. HUSKY- meaning “these pants will fit your fat kid because she can’t fit into our regular sized clothes.”…
Today’s photo challenge: Down. We spend a lot of time looking ahead, looking from left to right before we cross the street, looking into the sky for Superman, but not a lot of time looking down. What do you see? One thing that is consistent throughout all of my photography is feet. I love feet. Not in a fetish way…
Every day I am emailed a blogging topic from WordPress. It is part of a “post every day challenge” that they have. I definitely don’t have the time to post every day, and rarely find their prompt ideas interesting, but this particular prompt made me think. It was simply “what do you miss?” So here…
Remember my Weekly Photo Challenge: Regret post? I shared pictures of a one year old binging on birthday cake and the regret that it later caused. Well, last night I had my own binge fest. Much like little Nolan, I also cried. Between the hours of 3pm and 9pm I ate a large serving of…
My dream job is working for Google. I don’t know if Google offers the type of job that I would like to do, but one can dream. I want to sit in a cold, dark room surrounded by giant computers and servers and watch what people type into the Google search bar. If anybody knows…
Ah Valentine’s Day, just 2 days away now. This will be the fifth time that Isaac and I have celebrated V-Day together and will probably be the least eventful since I am working till 8pm. We have also decided to not get each other gifts to save money for the vacation we are taking next…
When Nolan (my best friends kiddo) turned one, he experienced chocolate cake for the first time. What started off as a slice of heaven turned into regret pretty quickly. This series of photos always makes me laugh and hits a little too close to home. On the rare occasion that I eat cake, I have…
Let me just preface this post by saying that my fiance, Isaac, is the sweetest, most caring, and thoughtful man I have ever met. Duh, that’s why I’m marrying him. In the four and a half years that we have been together, he has made me cry more happy tears than sad. Isaac is definitely…
