Today is Day #4 of the Writing Challenge. Check out Day #1 , Day #2 , and Day #3 . Then, join in!  It's fun writing about things!  Just be sure to leave a link to your post in the comments so I can come check it out! Today's Challenge: "What do you think about most?" To me, that's a loaded question. It depends on my mood. It depends on my plans. It just depends. Most of the time, I think about how I need a full time job. I want to get back into teaching. I apply for jobs, but I haven't gotten any of them. I think about my daughter's future. I think about all the things she can become, and the things that scare me about that!  I think about going back to school. I just don't know what I'd study. I've looked at the audition requirements for going back to school as a music major, but they TERRIFY me! It's been 20 years since I played on a regular basis.. I think about writing. I'm doing it more now. I love writing. I think...

Today is the last day of January. That means I only have 15 days until I get older....on February 15th. Thus, the reason I am contemplating life. I always think about what I could be doing. What I should be doing. What I want to be doing. I know I want to teach. I have always wanted to teach. Lately, I have been thinking that I want to be a writer. I know I am a writer, I write here. However, I want to write. I want to get paid to write. I can do it. I love writing. But, I don't know where to go to write. The newspaper here isn't hiring, plus they always want someone with experience. I would love to do some Freelance Writing. I just don't want to get sucked into a scheme.... ya know? So if anyone knows where I can get some freelance work for writing, just let me know...please. Also, I have been trying to think of ways that I can earn some money. Aren't we all? Anyways, I would love to earn some money doing something I love. I used to think that I wanted t...

WARNING: This post is LONG and personal! It's probably more real than I have been in a while! "If going through life and you find yourself lost, go back to the last place you knew who you were and what you were doing, and start there."--Carol Stack I really wish I could find a website to link you to her, but there are a few Carol Stacks. I don't know for sure which one she is. She came to Appalachian State University in 1996/97 and gave a lecture. If I could find my notes, I could probably tell you the name of the lecture. I could almost tell you exactly where I was sitting in the lecture. Anyways... I digress. This was the first thing she said in the lecture. I wrote it down, but I never had to look at it. I memorized it just from hearing it the first time. It has been my favorite quote for 15 years! I said that to tell you this: Have you ever had a time that you just felt that everything was going wrong? You take a drive and come home more confu...

I'm considering how to write a post that will not injure the feelings of people who may read it. I have things in my brain right now that need to come out, but I will have to work them around in a way that will not "hurt" people. Sometimes I hate trying to be a better person. lol I really wish I could just say what I want to say. Anyways.... I will. I just have to get it all together in my brain so that it comes out right! :) Until next time........

Ok...so this is post #99! Tomorrow...tonight...in two weeks (when I feel like it!) I am going to do post #100! So I have been thinking about it, and I think I'm going to do some pics and general information about me! I think I'm going to share parts of me that have not been shared yet...on here anyways! Nothing bad... just some pics of things I like to collect... things I like to do.... and just things in general! I think that is what I have decided to do for post #100 unless something else comes to mind first! Until next time........
