Getting Real
Hello. My Name is Gina and I’m Addicted to PPP!
That’s PayPerPost! I’m sorry, I can’t help myself and I hope I’m not boring the few readers I have left, but I’m making money for my writer’s conference and I get to choose what I want to blog about. I always throw myself into my post, but by the end I feel like I’m writing…
Just Plain Weary…
I’ve gotten past the weary in the waiting part after almost two weeks of the blahs (due to a rejection, what else) and just when I feel I can pick myself up off the floor and leave my pity party (and actually start writing again) I get slammed in the face with another issue. Lack…
No Wonder I Have No Commenters!
I was just looking back over my blog the last couple of months and realized this site has become an advertising haven, sprinkled in with a little bit of me. No wonder my faithful readers are scarce! Truth be told, I have let things get out of hand and I’m not sure when things will…
I Did Something I Never Thought I Could…Would…
I ran for almost 30 minutes straight! Now coming from someone who got a D on her college 3 mile field test because I couldn’t run it in under 30 minutes and MISSED Summa Cum Laude by fractions of a point because of it, THIS 30 minute running nonstop is a big deal! I didn’t…
Battle of the Bulge
It’s a battle I’ve been waging all my life and while I’m not 100 lbs over weight, even twenty extra pounds on my 5ft. 3 1/2 inch frame manifests itself in more junk in the trunk and ship-like hips, then I care to carry. I’ve never been really good at dieting. Who wants to deprive…
Parent Pride and a Little Rock Music!
Do you ever look at your kids and wondering if you’re doing a good job? If your challenging preteen and obnoxious teen will ever turn out normal? Do you blame yourself or question your parenting when they don’t seem to “get it?” If you answer NO, then you’re just not normal. Okay, maybe you’re better…
Norton Keeps Your Family Safe Online
I’m so excited about Norton Family Online. It’s what I’ve been wanting for a long time. A way to monitor my kids’ online activities, set a daily computer time limit and see exactly where they are browsing and hanging out online. With four kids, our biggest problem is limiting the time each child spends on…
A New Me!
Just wrote a whole post on this and lost it, so it’ll be the condensed version. I’ve had enough of the holiday sugar and fat and I’m joining the hundreds of others for the Sparkpeople New You Boot camp. So far the ten minute videos have been easy. I’m sure they’ll get more grueling as…
Never Give Up!
The moving boxes are almost packed and put away. We’re just about settled into our new home and are making good use of it. In fact, over the holidays we had a total of four big “gatherings” in three days with miscellaneous friends popping in and out! It’s been a blast and exhausting, and I…
Are You a Choleric Wrapper?
While wrapping presents this morning, I got to thinking. I’m a terrible wrapper. I’ve always been. I’m the kind of wrapper that molds and folds the paper to cover the gift, and sometimes has to tear off a stray piece or add another section of wrapping paper to cover the gaping whole. I started thinking,…
