Nothing to see here

Move along. No really, no real blog today. Swamped with finals and whatnot. Then I just made everything worse by taking any breaks out of my schedule so I go straight through until September when I finish. Yikes. I just want to be DONE!

Bookworm

So I read... a lot. Whether with a physical book where I have to dog ear the pages to save my place, my Kindle Fire, or through Audible, I'm always either reading or listening to a book. No offense to you out there who are fans, but Twilight and Hunger Games aren't really my cup of tea. I won't waste my time with 50 shades of porn. I like my emotions to be challenged. I like to think. I like to read books that are so descriptive that I feel like I'm there. I need new things to read, and hopefully someone will be able to give me some suggestions! My all time favorite author, is Charles Bukowski. He has written some amazing stuff, seriously. Women was my favorite, followed by Ham on Rye, followed by many of his poetry books.

His subsequent stories were about him coming to America and struggling to

What do you want to be when you grow up?

I'm sure that when I was young, I wanted to be a doctor, a lawyer, or something equally as glamorous. I never thought that well into my 30's, I would still be struggling with the decision of what career path I wanted to follow.

With this, I have many doors that open for me and many opportunities to use it. Up until late last year, I was pretty clear cut on what I wanted to do with it. I wanted to do addiction counseling and help addicts overcome a terrible disease. However.... I believe it is when I became pregnant and my hormones had me crying over dropping a piece of paper and then in a complete rage because I couldn't get a lid off of a jar, that I had an epiphany. I actually had to take the news apps off of my phone. I steered clear of news telecasts and skimmed over postings people made on social media sites. Why was I so

I’m sure many of you have seen this image online. Whether it be Pinterest, Facebook, or various other social media sites. What kind of feelings do you have when you look at this? My first reaction was….Yay curves! I’m a bigger girl, so everyone should accept me and find me attractive for who I am. I should be considered normal and that’s what every man should be attracted to. I’m not a small by any means, nor have I ever been. I have had my moments where I got down to an acceptable weight and my BMI was within “normal” range. Although, thin and Ellie have never been mentioned in the same sentence. I looked at the pic again and let the words sink in. “Real men”….. what is a REAL man? I thought all men were real. I didn’t realize that those who dated thin girls were androids or creepy Martians from outer space who tried so hard to blend in as humans while walking around Earth. Then I thought… this picture is trying to say that thin people are unattractive and can’t possible by w
