02 May 2008 So You Want To Write a Book?
 |  Category: Family, Mumbo Jumbo, Paid |  One Comment

Ever since I can remember, I wanted to write a book. I usually get this urge when I read a lot. A few years ago, I was going as far as jotting down ideas in a notebook. I would be walking down the street and I would be reciting to myself paragraphs of a story that I made up. It was as if I was reading a book. I was pretty impressed with myself. I thought how cool would it be to Self Publish a book of your own?

My ex-husband has even had a poetry book of his own published! How cool is that? I’m pretty sure most of those poems were written during our divorce. I’m not sure if he self published though. Either way, I think it’s cool to have a book of your own that is out there and being sold.

My Grandma (Mom’s Mom) even wrote her own book…and it was published! Although hers was a genelogy book, and it is HUGE. It’s not a story she wrote or poetry, but let me tell you it was a lot of hard work researching down her family like. Her and my Grandpa researched for this book for years & years & years. Most of my childhood! That was quite an accomplishment!

02 May 2008 Medical Bracelets
 |  Category: Mumbo Jumbo, Paid |  Leave a Comment

It would seem to me to be a good idea, for older people with certain health issues to wear a Medical Alert Tag. Or even a young person with a severe allergic reaction to something or with a major health issue that people would even know if they weren’t wearing a medical alert tag. I was looking at these bracelets and they are actually very nice looking! They aren’t ugly at all, and you can choose from the plate type like you used to order through school, or a charm like a Tiffany & Co. bracelet! You get to choose the chain you want, if you want it wide or standard, the clasp you prefer, and the metal you can choose between:

-14k Gold
-10k Gold
-10k Gold-Filled
-Sterling Silver
-Stainless Steel

It is a really good idea and a good deal!

30 Apr 2008 Cop Clothes
 |  Category: Jeremy, Mumbo Jumbo, Paid |  Leave a Comment

Over the weekend, Jeremy went and helped his Dad move some furniture from his condo to his new home. I guess going through some stuff, Jeremy saw his Dad’s Green Sheriff jacket, and his blue windbreaker with Sheriff on the back, and his name embroidered on the front. So, he asked if he could have them, and his Dad said yes. So, he’s got two copper jackets. They are pretty cool! Sheldyn was cracking up yesterday when she saw them, running arund saying how Jeremy was a cop! Then laughing really hard. Kids are so silly! All Jeremy needs now is some BDU Pants and he’s set! LOL!

30 Apr 2008 Cupcakes
 |  Category: Food, Mumbo Jumbo, Paid |  Leave a Comment

Okay, so cupcakes are one of those things that I absolutely loooove! I’m not even a big cake fan, but there is something about a cupcake that makes me capable of doing some major damage and eating many of them. On top of the deliciousness of a cupcake, another thing that I absolutely adore about them, is making and decorating them. It’s so much more fun to decorate cupcakes then it is cakes for me. I’m not sure what it is about theses little cupcakes that makes me feel happy, but they do. I actually was thinking about baking some today also! It’s almost a crafty thing for me to do. I get to bake, then decorate, then take pictures, and then the best part…eat them! Mmmm! I hate that i can’t send the kids to school though with a cupcake in their lunches…because you know how that will turn out? Into a squashed mess! Well, I have found a solution! I found these cupcake holders! They are perfect for something along those lines! I love them! The kids would appreciate them also! go check out their website, as they have a lot of really awesome gift ideas!

Once upon a time there was this chick who was getting a divorce but still lived with her soon to be ex-husband. Things got a little crazy at one point and she had gotten hurt, and it was because of her ex-husband. So she went to the doctor’s, to make sure her neck was okay. She didn’t tell the doctor what happened, and had confided in her soon to be ex-sister-in-law, who snuck out of the exam room, and told the doctor it was her brother who had hurt the chick. Even though the chick was not being very nice to him at all, and to a point was driving him to the point of breaking, and he never had a history of violence before. So naturallyt he Doctor had to call the cops. The guy was arrested and put in jail, and there was a mandatory restraining order put on him to protect the woman. Thanks to OJ Simpson this was the law now, regardless of the reasons or the persons. It wasn’t really needed in the case of the girl and her soon to be ex, but I can see how that law is a good one. However, I have never needed a restraining order on anyone, but if I ever do need a CA restraining order CHO. I will definitely know where to go!

12 Jan 2008 Windows
 |  Category: Mumbo Jumbo, Paid |  Leave a Comment

When we started painting the house when I moved in here, we took down all the blinds. They were all vertical blinds, and were so dirty and stained yellow and disgusting. We just threw them away. I would love to have some wood blinds, or those cute bamboo blinds. I had bought some shades from Kmart that are a cream with some wood pieces on the sections that pull up, but I don’t like how much dust they collect, being that we live in the dustiest house on the planet. It could be that we live in the windiest city, and have the worst windows on the planet, though. Anyway, I’d love to find some discount blinds for the whole house, sometime soon. Where they are all matching.

We owned this house! There is so much I’d like to do with it, and we could make it really nice and a cute little house. I would love to totally redo the kitchen. I love the new glass tiles out now, and how pretty they are. I love the glass tile back splashes with the countertops. I’d like to do that to the kitchen and the bathrooms. I really like the concrete countertops too, and I think you could get some of the glass tiles for the backsplash. That would look pretty dang cool! However, we do not own this house, and so we can’t do anything that is going to break the bank to improve it. We can just do things here and there to make it better. When we get our own home one day before I die, I am getting those glass tiles though dang it!

11 Jan 2008 Skincare
 |  Category: Mumbo Jumbo, Paid |  One Comment

My skin has been such an issue with me for awhile now. My face has been broken out since the begining of October!!! Actually just this week it has cleared up, and I think I have one blemish at this point. I am looking for a good natural skincare system to get my face on track and look pretty. Nothing makes you feel uglier then having acne all over your face. I’m pretty sure though that once I  start eating right and exercising that my face will clean up completely. It did before, even at period time I had no acne what so ever.

11 Jan 2008 New Years Diet- Not Yet!
 |  Category: Mumbo Jumbo, Paid |  Leave a Comment

I haven’t started eatting right or exercising. I suck…but I still do plan on doing it. right now though money is so tight, that I don’t have any extra money to buy healthier foods for Jeremy and I. So soon, I will shed these 40 lbs. and be one hot mama. HAHA! Jeremy’s got 60 lbs to lose. Maybe I should lose that too. Then I can be rail thin. I’d weight like 105, which I know would look absolutely riciculous on me. Even though I am 5′4″, I look good at 120-125. I look small, so I couldn’t imagine being in the low 100’s. I got so excited too. I was checking out things On Demand, and I found SO MANY exercise video’s. Like Yoga, Pilates, and dancing work outs! How cool is that??? I’ve watned to try all of those out, but I didn’t want to spend the money and never use them. Plus, I think the dancing one would be kinda fun. Anyway, since I am not starting my diet yet, I just want to eat the most candy ever. I’ve been on this total candy kick. A funny thing though is that I wake up in the morning, and I crave something sweet. Like before I’m even fully awake, I want to eat candy. Isn’t that odd??? I’m not a dark chocolate candy fan, but Jeremy is. I prefer the mik chocolate. I’m hoping Jeremy gets me some gooood candy for Valentines day. An engagement ring would be nice too. I’m not holding my breath for the ring though. Then candy I’m pretty sure I will get.
