FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD

First of all  thank you everyone who has stopped by lately to listen to me whine and a special thank you to those who left comments.  It means a lot to me so know it is appreciated.

Things are better.  I'm feeling better although I've done a lot of sleeping the last couple of days.  Probably just catch up though, I keep weird hours.  I'll get an idea into my head and start doing things and before I know it three or four hours have passed and the sun is almost ready to come up.  It didn't help that we had that arctic vortex come down and it was cold as all get out and my bedroom always seems to be at least 10 degrees colder than the rest of the house.  I love it once I warm up and fall asleep.

I got excited for a few hours after I received an email in answer to a resume I had sent out.  They wanted me to call their HR manager and set up an interview.  I cheered a little and then did some research on the company.  Another MLM but this time I had gotten the lead from a legitimate job posting site not Craigslist.  That sucked

Daddy and I had a talk last night and this morning.  I think he is starting to understand my need  for him to set up rules and tasks so that I feel connected to him when he's really busy.  He did say he'd join me at my other blog, one I set up just for me and him.  This way I can "talk" to him, tell him about my day, my fears, my triumphs and he can read when he's got time even if it's 4am.  He can leave answers too that I can pick up later.  He knows I sleep with my phone so if he texts or sends me an email or an IM in messenger I wake up.  We will see how that works out.  I am hoping eventually he becomes quite vocal about it and I love that it will be "written down" so I can go back and reread the parts I love.

I am trying to connect more with people who understand or at least accept the dynamic I have with him.  even if it is just lurking, I find that I learn things and that I am not the only one who feels the way I do.  I have this blog and my Facebook page, my twitter and I've been checking out tumblr too.  Next place will be Pinterest I guess, I remember when it first started.  I should have joined back then but who knew?

So here's a question.  Those of you who identify as baby girls or littles and have children of your own, do you let your little out with them?  The more I accept myself being the way I am, the more readily my little comes out to visit.  I am still Mama, my word is still law but sometimes, when I'm happy or sick or fixated on something then it comes out around my kids.  They don't care, they seem to love it but they are very nurturing toward me anyway.  Like the other day I was looking for a new toothbrush holder.  Mine got lost during the move and we were shopping and all of a sudden I had to have a Hello Kitty one.  They had one that I didn't like much and it was expensive but I had it stuck in my head that it had to be that.  So we spent the next 40 minutes wandering around trying to figure out what I could use.  Of course I had to have it then, it wasn't something that could wait.  They were patient even though they were starving and even helped me decide what to do.  This is the finished result.  Not Hello Kitty after all but cute and sparkly and didn't cost me an arm and a leg.

No Hello Kitty but I see Winnie and Minnie!

Anyway, here I go again, it's after 4 am.  I'd better get to bed.

Smoochie says sweet dreams!

WHERE IT LEADS....DO I FOLLOW?

Ok so I've decided to try posting a new blog on every odd numbered day which means that sometimes there will be posts two days in a row.  I guess I should have said even days then sometimes I'd get a two day break!  Oh well, I'll stick with my original plan for now.

This blog is still evolving and I'm not sure what it will end up being.  It is mostly for me of course but maybe it will garner some attention and I can meet people within the community also.

I have this urge to write lately but not fiction yet.  I've been working on this blog and getting it connected to twitter and Facebook so you can all join me there too if you like.  I did sign up for tumblr but just lurking there for now trying to get a feel for things.  I guess out of all of them, Facebook is the one I'm most familiar with so it is the one I am most active with both as a page and for my personal account.  Twitter on the other hand, intimidates me.  It always has.  My singing persona uses it to post for her shows but otherwise has not gotten involved in the twitter community.

I need to find a site that walks you through it step by step.  One day we do one step... sending our own tweet maybe.  Then the next day we learn about retweeting.  The following day hash tags and so forth.

I have also started another blog that is private between me and my Daddy.  I write him a letter every day there.  Now to just get him involved.  He has been so busy he hasn't even had time to make an account to sign in yet.  I'm hoping soon.  Until then I keep writing but if he takes too long, he'd better bring chocolate!

Great Advice

I have a few others scattered around the web.  One for my performing and one for my writing.  There are even a few that I had started years ago that got lost along the way due to life circumstances.

I am hoping 2014 brings more organization and clarity to what I do.  I'd like to keep up the blogs I have.  Learn to use the other social media sites better and be at ease with them.  I also need to finish my novel.  It's done but needs a rewrite now.  Also would like to do the first two stories in a trilogy I have planned.  They will be short stories for sale as eBooks before I get my novel out there. I really need to just buckle down and do them.

So we will see how this turns out and what direction it eventually takes.  I know I tend to whine and ruminate more in this blog.  I'm not my usual witty self.  Maybe I need another that is more frivolous.  Something to think about I guess.

Thank you to those who are coming along for the ride.  I hope to see you often.

It is late and I'm expecting Daddy to call in a couple hours so....

Smoochie blows you all a kiss!  MWAHHH!

PRE NEW YEARS PLANNING

The New Year is coming up and I'm gearing up to be more productive. I hate making New Years resolutions because if I don't meet them, I feel defeated. I do try to plan to be better and hope that at least some of the new habits will stick.

 I am trying to get my blogs set up right. Linked to social media, twitter accounts set up and getting to look how I want them too. I've finally connected this one to my new Facebook Page and Twitter. I need to learn how to get in the swing of Twitter. I am a little intimidated by it and the "rules".

 I run a number of blogs, Twitter, and FB Pages. Some for personal - family stuff, some for business stuff, and then some for MY personal stuff (like this one). It is hard to keep up with them all.

 I am not an organized person by any means. So I am trying to find a way to keep on top of things. I'm trying out different apps to keep me connected to all my accounts. I will have to make out a loose schedule on what I should be doing on which days so at least I get the minimum done and all my places get updated regularly. I also need to find either a part time job or more work online. I have write the first two books of my trilogy and finish up my novel. I am looking to get into recording audiobooks and also hoping to do something with my music this year.

 My problem is ... I'm a little and easily distracted. I also will pick fun over boring anytime. Not a good thing. I am good about deadlines and getting things done if I have them. Only ones given by others though. My self imposed deadlines tend to get ignored or pushed back.

 I recently moved and we feel as if we are starting a new life and as such, I am trying to keep on top of things. So it's going fairly well, not perfect but better.

 Daddy H and I have been doing well since our fight on Christmas. He is making more of an effort to stay connected and keep me in the loop. He is being more loving and not so short tempered. He works such long hours that he gets cranky and can be harsher than intended. I am learning to be more patient and trusting. To learn that sometimes to serve him means I can't talk to him or see him as much as I'd like. If he's busy or out in the field then He will try but it is not always possible for him to answer every time. It doesn't mean I don't bug him. His messenger is filled with "Daddy! Daddy daddy daddy!!!! DAAAADDDDDDYYYY!!!" It just means that I don't pout and throw a fit when he doesn't answer.

Yeah...like that

 

Another thing I want to start doing is spending time visiting blogs, both the ones I follow and new ones and making comments more often. Showing how much I do enjoy what they share. Learn to be part of a community again.

When the kids go back to school, I can stop taking unplanned grown up breaks to break up fights and referee disagreements too.  That will leave me more time to be productive and I'll be less distracted..  Maybe.  Maybe not.

I guess I'd better get more work done.

Smoochie says to have a great evening!
