New Beginnings

Usually to start something new, or make a fresh start is done in January, right in the new year.  Well, my typical fresh starts start when the kids go back to school and I have to get back into the routine of getting up early, making lunches while having a cuppa tea, and checking Facebook, Twitter and my emails before getting kids up for the day.  Mind you, this year started off a tad rocky, but I’m hoping that come Monday, the start of a full week of school for them, will mean a full week of concentrating on things that I need to do for me.

Mind you, I will probably need the first couple of days setting up some sort of routine for myself.  I dispise housework. But I know that I have to do it.  And so I’ll drag my feet, and try and kick me arse up off the chair and get things done.  You never really know how fast time flies until you sit down with your tea, in front of the laptop, look down at the time — 8:15am,, then the next thing you know, the front door pops open and there’s one of your kids coming home again.

If you’re new to following me,, WELCOME!!  To those of you who have been with me for a long time,,, I’m soooooooooooo sorry, LOL.

I keep changing the look of this blog – mainly cause I can’t find one that SCREAMS at me.  So I’ll play around with the ones that’s available (which are usually the free ones).  And I keep saying that I’m going to write every day.  Well,, I’ve failed on that terribly.  That tends to happen a lot,,,, I figure if someone like Joe Mallozzi can do it,, so can I.  But then again,, something “shiny” will come across my mind and,,, well,,, you know the rest.

I’m also considering on posting some video blogs on here too, via my YouTube channel.  It might cut down the typing time of letting y’all know how my day is going,, has gone,, or if I’m still in zombie mode and haven’t had my cuppa tea yet. 🙂

So I’ll cut this short,, and just say that I HOPE to return again tomorrow (at some point) and either say something comical, deep, or meaningful.

Until next time,

K, xo

Fun times, amazing friends

Well today was a very interesting day. The kids had a snow day.  They love it.  I on the other hand,,, well let’s just say what with a hand that’s not 100%, shoveling can take it’s tole.  And with my hand hurting no matter what way I move it, I haven’t been able to commit to doing much writing.  Which totally irks me like you wouldn’t believe.   I was hoping to have so much written to have ready for it’s launch at Sci-Fi on the Rock 8 in May, but I don’t see that happening now.  Not with my hand the way it is.

I know, I know,,, if I’m able to blog, I should be able to write.  To tell you the truth, I’ve lost my inspiration.  Especially with that one bad review from my first book.  I know I shouldn’t let it get to me, I had myself all prepared for the bad comments, but when it came to actually reading what they had written, it hit me.  Though, thinking back on it, I find it convenient that they say all this nasty things with a fake name.  I mean, really???  How lame does someone need to be to hide behind their computer screen, use a fake name, and be mean to someone who’s new to the writing scene.  At least I had the balls to put myself out there, with everything I do.  What has this person ever done that they could be proud of.

I need to thank my many friends who PM’d me in Facebook to voice their support.  You guys are the best buddies ever.  You all are never very far if I’m feeling down and need a great pick-me-up.  Case in point to an awesome friend who had me literally jumping up and down in my kitchen, laughing out loud.  Literally. LOL  It’s a good thing I was alone at the time, cause I think my family would have thought I was nuts.  Paco.  And I just giggled again as I typed his name, Paco. 🙂  My crazy, sweet, awesome friend, don’t ever change.  🙂

He posted a picture of what the weather was like at his location.  And it was nasty, snowing really bad.  So after I read a couple of comments, I had to make one.  And wouldn’t you know it,, he actually done my suggestion and posted the picture on my timeline.  (Laughing as I type all this again).  The suggestion was to make a snowman, with sunglasses on, a Cuban cigar, and a beer.  Bless you Paco, that really made my day yesterday.

For the past week or so, I have been helping my daughter’s (who’s 10) fundraiser for the Heart and Stroke Foundation.  The name of the fundraiser was Jump Rope for Heart.  I’m so proud of her for wanting to take this on.  And I want to thank those who were able to donate online.  I know not everyone seeing my posting on Facebook and Twitter could help.  But I am grateful to those who shared the link to help spread the word.  I’m proud to say that in total, she’s raised $160.  🙂  Most of it was from online donations, so to those of you who donated, bless you all. xoxo

I apologize for spamming up Facebook and Twitter timelines, lol.  But I think anyone who’s child shows any interest in something, to support them the best you can, and to give it your all.  And I hope that she knows how much I’ve been there to back her up on this, and hope that she does something like this again in the future.

Anyway, thank you all for popping by to read my thoughts.  I hope you had a nice giggle, or found some sort of inspiration to do something for a worthy cause, or to help someone less fortunate.

Until next time.
