Growing up with pimples…who doesn’t?

When my sisters and I were growing up, we all had our share of acne problems. I mean, who doesn’t these days. Of course we tried a variety of acne solutions and different products to help get rid of it. Some worked and some didn’t.

My parents keep saying that drinking pop and eating chocolate bars gives you acne. To be honest, I disagree. I haven’t actually searched if it does or not, but it just seems far fetched.

Maybe I’ll go search that now. LOL!

Thinking about it…

There are some things I just don’t think or talk about until when they suddenly pop up in my head or I come across something related.

One of those things is term life insurance quote or I guess you can say life insurance in general. I have life insurance from my work right now but it’s really minimum. I believe it’s only $10,000 right now but that’s because I got the job in January. Maybe it goes up with years that I pay into for the insurance? I’m not exactly sure how it works.

All I do know is that my beneficiaries where my nephew, sisters, and other family.

What would be nice is if I was a beneficiary to a great great aunt or something like that and inherited $$. Man, that would be awesome.

Unfortunately, my family is not so. We come from a long line of hard working laborers who grew up the “old fashioned way”. Meh…but it’s okay to dream about it, right? lol

Making my rosaries

One of my new years mini resolutions was to make my own rosaries. In fact I have been and they are turning out GREAT!!

It would be nice if I actually used freshwater pearls, but I’m okay with just using faux pearls instead. Their cheap and I can buy in bulk too. They really look nice as rosary beads.

I’ll have to get a picture of some of the rosaries I already created. Maybe I’ll do that someone when there’s sunshine out since it’s pitch black where I am. Oh well…tomorrow it is!

Ever went bungee jumping?

Have you ever sat and wondered, what things haven’t you done yet? I do all the time. I even right them down on a paper so I won’t forget.

I personally haven’t played golf EVER in my life. Crazy I know!! If I did, I’d probably get something like Callaway irons and other accessories because I’ve heard good reviews of them.

Another thing I haven’t done is sky diving. I REALLY want to try that out too. I’ve done a mini bungee jumping thing that available at a local theme part. Actually it was called “Xtreme Skyflyer” at Canada’s Wonderland. Now THAT was SUPER COOL!!!!

You are pulled up from your back all the way up 170 feet. Then you pull a cord which releases you and you go flying forward above everyone and everything. You reach speeds of more than 100km/hr too. It’s super fast and just a thrilling experience.

If you are ever in Canada, then you gotta try it too!!

Fullfilling their dreams

A lot of people I know are going into their own businesses. They are basically becoming entrepreneurs. It’s definitely exciting whenever they tell me their plans for their businesses.

Some need extra space like this office space Connecticut so they can actually have their business run out of an office — super important with an internet business. Then there are others who are opening their own shops and need retail space.

I’m actually proud of the people I know going into business for themselves. Heck, it’s one of my own dreams too!! … someday I suppose.

Eye glasses friendly home

When I look at my entire family and most of my relatives, a lot of us actually need some sort of low vision aids. Most wear glasses and it’s crazy now that I think about it.

Every person in my own family has glasses. My father and older sister need them to see, so they wear it everyday. My mother uses hers to read. Then my younger sister and I use them to see things at a distance.

How many people in your family wear glasses or need visual aids?

My own elementary “signature”

When I was younger and attending elementary school, I always…and I mean ALWAYS wore funny t-shirts. That was basically my signature I guess you can say.

I had taco bell dog shirts, Homer Simpson shirts, and just random shirts that had funny comments on them. Of course I got in trouble a few times because the shirts I wore ended up being “inappropriate” for a Catholic school.

To this day, I still have some of my old funny shirts in the back of my closet. LOL! They definitely bring memories back whenever I search through my clothes.

Stupid Celebs

Man…I thought I had problems, but look at all these people you see in magazines, on tv shows, etc. All of them need some sort of drug treatment or intervention because it’s just gone to the point of no return.

Most of the ones I keep hearing about are celebrities. Just goes to show you that having all that money will make you have serious problems especially if drugs can easily be obtained in their industries.

Why do people want to ruin their lives for by taking way too much drugs? I don’t understand it. How stupid can you be?? It honestly drives me absolutely bonkers when I see all these people with drug or alcohol related problems. Get a grip and check back into reality.

Why do you even let yourself get THAT FAR OFF?

Random Searches

This is completely random post. Do you ever search up things on google when you have absolutely no clue what it is? I usually do. In fact, I did a search yesterday for HDMI splitters. Don’t ask why, like I said random.

A lot of times when I am doing one of my random searches, I end up coming across things I didn’t know. It can be really nice especially if it’s something I’ll end up getting or want to know more information about.

Do you do random searches? What sorts of things do you search?

Need to control my spending!!

I really need to learn to control my spending habits. This is getting out of control. In fact…it’s not good at all. I’m spending way more than I earn which is going to bite me in the ass. Even my savings accounts are depleted and too low.

Someone smack me now!! Maybe I need a blog about controlling your spending. Maybe that will help me start saving and stop spending. I don’t know…it’s just an idea right now. In fact, I meant to open one last year but ended up using the domain name for something else. We’ll see if I move around certain websites and see what I can come up with. :/
