Perhaps a new facebook page is in order

I'm starting to become at-peace with the idea that my facebook page may be long gone. Maybe this is a good thing, I'll tell you why. In the last 2-3 years my life has slowly been changing. Not good or bad (ok, probably good), but there are quite a few people who I don't talk to much anymore. Maybe I should say they don't talk to me anymore. I very seldom go out and most recently, I'm either at home, at school or at work. The only days when I would be able to get out and do something are Sunday night and Thursday after I get out school. Mind you, that when I get out of school (www.penroseacademy.com) on Thursday nights, its after having been there from 11-12 hours. Yeah, so you could say that I may not be in the mood to be out. Anyway, back to the loss of my beloved facebook page. That last statement probably says why I needed to get rid of it. Let me rephrase that, a hacker got rid of it for me. I had 1,200 "friends," many of whom I didn't even know. Many other people on my "friends" list didnt' really speak to me anymore and I was starting to wonder if others were stalkers. Creepfest...ok!?! I think I'll beging to look at it as a blessing that facebook hasn't been very helpful in getting back to me about why their site isn't letting me access my account. Maybe its time to let the old me die so that the new me can grow. I think I'm going to start a new page soon.

Halfway through school and I WAS HACKED!

This wee k was the last week of zone 3 at Penrose Academy, which means I am halfway through with my cosmetology school education. Even better is that my attendence and my GPA not only qualifies me for National Technical Honor Society, but means that my school will pay for my membership. YAY! I'm so proud of myself. On to the bad news, my facebook and email account were hacked on Monday when I was at work. GRRRR!!!! Making the situation even more challenging is the face that the person who hacked my account changed the email connected with the account. Well, I go through the trouble of getting a new email account created, have emails sent to three people I know and get the codes from them. Once I do this, I get stuck on the page where I am asked to enter a new password. Well, fortunately, or unfortunately, the same thing happened to my best friend and he actually had an email for someone at facebook I could contact. I've sent them the email. Here's hoping it works.

Spread the Love!

Some of you may have begun to believe that my blog has become little more than an abandoned wasteland of former thoughts, ideas and strange happenings in my life. You’d be right if you did, but now that is going change. My blog is officially on life support and I have removed the DNR designation. Without going through the rigmarole of explaining how I got here, I’ll just come out and say that I really want to be part of Matrix Spread the Love for 2013. A little background on that: I first found out of Matrix Spread the Love when I was going through the process of getting accepted into Penrose (Kohler, at the time) Academy. I heard that out of six students nationwide, two of the students selected were from Penrose. Not only did this give me an idea of what a good decision (praise Jesus) I made an deciding this was the school I wanted to attend, I thought to myself, “I REALLY want to do this.” And why shouldn’t it be me, they have to select someone and I know that by the time the decision is made for who will represent Matrix for 2013, I will have had the education and proficiency they look for in students, in addition to my hard-earned maturity and desire to help others improve their quality of life. I was reminded of my desire to participate in Spread the Love when Natalie Fox (a Penrose Graduate) and Meredith Tye visited my school last Thursday. They answered my biggest concern (how do you support yourself during your time on Spread the Love?) as well as a few other questions I had that lead me to believe that it would be a perfect opportunity for me. I love social media and am ADDICTED to my iPhone. I also like blogging, so I’m pretty excited about having a very high goal for when I graduate from Penrose Academy. On a side note, I’m really hoping to inspire people with the title of my blog: Getting Better Every Day. I would also like to point out that I chose that name for my blog a few years ago. And last I’m going to leave you with something I posted on Facebook in the last week: Demand joy from yourself every day.

Waiting on some very good news

So we're at work hoping the days runs by a little faster because I'm expecting some very big news today. I can really say what it is, but I can say that it can change EVERYTHING for the better. More visibility, more sales, more publicity, more money. Hooray! If this goes as I expect, I will be very grateful that I stuck around and through everything and it will totally have been worth it.

If this deal does not happen, I'll just know that something even better is on its way Update: I don't even remember what this was about, but its all good becuase I don't work at that job anymore. Life goes on.

Where I've been

So today I saw a post on facebook about what states I've been to. I tried to click on all of them, but it was taking to long because of some script that was running...blah blah blah. I've been quite a few states before, but didn't realize I'd been to so many until I started clicking. I found this interactive map that lets you click on where you've been.

On a side note, I found it was funny that someone listed Mexico as a state.

DanceDance by NTUIT

This is my friend Monika (who is probably one of the nicest, sweetest, positive attitude-possessing individual you will ever meet) in her music group NTUIT. I heard the song a while back, but now they have a video. Ooooh....SHE FIERCE! It's a great dance tune. POPLAB, are you listening? The song is called DanceDance.

That's how it works!

I've always wondered how bidets work. Today, I was reading towleroad.com and came across this vid. Don't burn it!
