so sad to see you go 360 even though it was hard to keep up, but it was fun and I met some really great people.? some are still around, others have gone away, some remain my friends, others chose to let me go.? either way, it was fun and interesting.

for anyone who got an invitation to connect, you either are on my 360 friends list or was at one point or another so you're still on my contact list.? you may accept or not, it's all good.? For those who chose not to remain a contact I'll go ahead and remove you completely so that you won't get any more emails or invites, (since yahoo can't seem to make up it's mind on what kind of profile?page they want to have....multiply?? there was another as well but I can't remember the name of it for the life of me!)? Anyway,?I know it can be annoying?sometimes to get invites from people you aren't even in contact with anymore.

well, let's see what this new era has in store for us.? wow, and yet another new direction in my life, though it may not be as significant as buying a house, but still............

buzzbuzz!

I've decided to take my blog in a different direction. My whole life is turning in a different direction. Those of you who have read my blog know that I've had family problems that continue to this day. I've taken steps to remove myself from that toxic environment. I've been pre-qualified for a home loan and am on the path looking for a new home. This might not be impressive news for some but for me it is because I've qualified BY MYSELF! no co-signers, no husband...just ME. Plus, after my divorce my score went down to the mid 600s. Then I filed for bankruptcy 4 years ago and we all know where our score goes after that. I sacrificed and done without and worked hard to get it back up and now I'm in the 700s. And it's even more impressive for me because just Xmas 2007 I tried to get credit at walmart to buy my daughter an expensive camera and I was turned down. TURNED DOWN AT WALMART! I was so depressed and I cried because I thought I'd never get credit again. Well, oh yeah? Look at me now walmart! I'm buying a house!! Take that! So there! Hmph!

I decided in a home instead of a condo because I have animals to which I just added a new dog who I think will be HUGE. Animal count as of today May 19, 2009, 11:00 a.m.: 1 cockatiel 3 yrs old, 1 tabby/torby cat 8 months old, 3 dogs (all shelther rescues)-chihuahua mix 7 yrs, shepherd/bernese mix 16 months, shepherd mix 4 months (who's just about as tall as the 16 month old). Needless to say I've got my hands full as the 16 month old still hasn't been fully trained, she still has some kinks, and now starting new with the 4 month old, plus the very rambunctious kitten who thinks she's the same size as the dogs till she gets stepped on, and a very grouchy chihuahua and bird who think they own the place...and all these animals expect and demand my attention. So, for the sake of my animals and their freedom and their right to be animals, I've decided to get a house with a big yard. So, I will remove myself from the toxic environment I am in and I've embarked on new adventures. I've been taking singing lessons to prepare myself to re-enter the musical theater world....my passion.

Before I got pregnant and married, I was in musical theater. Now obviously this was short lived as I was nearly 19 when I had my baby who is now in college. But short lived as it was, the fire never perished. My problem is that I developed a very debilitating amount of stagefright. I'm talking about the vomit and panic before a performance type of stagefright, which I always had, but it had heightened to an "nth" degree. So I decided to take lessons to prepare myself. And they have. The last time I went karaoking with friends, I was able to eat my dinner before singing which was an impossibility before. So I'm growing! Now all I gotta do is lose weight. I'm not going to let that stop me from auditioning though, I've used that as an excuse for far too long. The ultimate goal is to be in The Lion King. Oh, that would so make my day. The ultimate Ultimate goal is be Nala. Other than that, I'd be happy being the waving grass. You'll know what I'm talking about if you've seen it.

Other plans: I was going to volunteer at my local animal shelter and have the application all filled out but I put that on hold since I don't know where I'm going to live yet. I might still volunteer there or maybe look into a shelter close to my new home. Either way, I'll be volunteering somewhere, something I'd been wanting to do for a while now.

And yet another plan: I'm still trying to invent something that I can make that people will buy. I can sew and do other crafts, I just haven't honed in on something. I keep waiting for the light bulb over my head to turn on, but I think it needs changing or something (maybe the wiring is faulty) as nothing new and spectacular has come to mind. Maybe I should just take something that's already out there and make my own. I do enjoy making hemp jewelry. We'll see what happens with this goal.

So my life is changing so my blog will as well. I'll still give some details to life but seeing that I am such an "as seen on TV" addict, I've decided to blog about my trials and tribulations with those products. A true and honest account of the good as well as the bad of individual products from an average everyday person just trying to get through life. I've done so many of them, most ended up in the trash or put away, but I gave them an honest try. Right now I'm using the swivel sweeper and Wen hair care cleanser. I'll come back and give individual accounts on these. Just don't know which one to do first. Let me know what you think. I also have exercise DVDs that are shelfed that I take out for a week or two, then get put back. I'll give details on those too.

That's it for now.

Time to buzz along: buzz buzz!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

BE HAPPY HEALTHY SAFE AND PROSPEROUS FOR 2009

right brained or left brained?

I'm glad to see that I'm pretty balanced....I thought I was because I'm a little talented in the arts (sing, draw, act, etc) and usually right brained people are the artists and stuff, but I'm quite logical. so seems pretty close.
