Seventh Day of Flat Broke Christmas: Cheap and fun board games!

Excerpt from The Flat Broke Blog: (http://flatbrokeblog.wordpress.com) When people cut their budgets, one of the first items to be scrapped is entertainment. Who is going to pay $10 per person every weekend to go to the movies when they’re having to cut the food budget? But there are ways to stay amused without major costs — for gift givers and receivers. Board games used to be the “lame” thing teenagers dreaded to play on “family fun nights” w… Continue

Under my skin

I. Am. Fuming. It’s bad enough that I had to take a half day off work to come sit for a repairman, but on my way home to sit for my 4 hour block of time, I encountered a real A-hole on the road. The speed limit is 65. I was pushing 80. I see there are cars that want to travel even faster than that and since I’m apparently not fast enough for the “fast” lane I start to make my move to get out of their way. Only problem is, I don’t have a good opportunity to, at least not at that speed. What, a… Continue

Sixth Day of Flat Broke Christmas: Warm, cozy things

Excerpt from The Flat Broke Blog: (http://flatbrokeblog.wordpress.com) The weather outside is frightful during the holiday season. Anything your gift recipient could have to stay warm would be so delightful. Anything warm and cozy is highly desirable in December and January — anywhere. I used to live in Florida, and yes, we did have 80-degree days in January sometimes. But one winter was cold enough for a coat even there. Have you ever felt the… Continue

The S-word

School. Could school be considered an S-word? It is right now for me. I found out there are more rumblings about the future of our program of study. Now, they’re saying if a class doesn’t get a minimum of 12 in it, they won’t run it. Great. So far, one of my classes for next semester has 9 in it and the other only 6. The one with 6 is the one I really need to take. It is the continuation of my AutoCAD class and not only is it important to keep going with where you left off, content-wise, but th… Continue

Grandma's gonna kick your ass

And on the sixth snooze she rose from the dead. Jeezus. Why, why, why did I convince myself to try going to the gym before work? I hate getting up early. But I did it. This is Day 3 of my return to fitness and I need to keep going. This is my no excuses campaign and I can’t give in this quickly. Not when turkey day, complete with like 5,000 pies is around the corner. I didn’t get to the gym as early as I’d like. What an oxymoron, right? I can’t get up early, yet wished I got there earlier?! It… Continue

I'm Too Old to be Sick

I've been in denial about what appears to be a seasonal cold, and my age, too, I guess. And I began realizing this yesterday when I woke up with a fever, to augment the stuffy nose and incessant cough I've been walking around with for a couple of weeks. It certainly hasn't been any kind of flu, thankfully. "It's okay," I've said. "I think I might have allergies." No, Justine. I don't think you do. And it hit me when I was leaving Jackie's (Writerjax) house last night. A few of us were hanging ou… Continue

Why I Love Softball and Growling at People

Growing up, we all have our favorite activities. I started tee-ball as a little kid, and transitioned to playing softball, which I did all the way through high school. I must say that spring time was always a favorite time of year for me. My birthday is early April, and softball always .... http://bit.ly/3PZggU Continue

The F-it switch

Today, I made a SHED (Shit Hot Executive Decision). I took the day off. I'm a freelancer so I work from home, which basically means a day off includes turning my phone on silent and not checking my mail. I don't have any deadlines today and I decided that I needed the time. So here I am. It's summer and I'm in my swimsuit, beer in hand. Quite tipsy by this time, mind you. And I don't give a damn. I remember the days as a student where I would just refuse to go to class and hang out by the pool t… Continue

I'm here, kicking and screaming.

And so here I am. A 30something. 31 to be exact. Granted, I'm a baby in this business, but it's already hitting me pretty hard. I don't feel 30something. On a good day I feel 25 or even 23, others I feel far, far older. Either way, one thing is for sure, I am not enjoying "growing" up. I have no life insurance, medical aid, pension fund, I don't own a car or a home. I do however own a very pretty cat which has been with me for six years. I have a head full of a lifetimes' memories and far too m… Continue

Surviving the Teen Years

My daughter can not ride a bike. I didn’t teach her. That’s on me, yes? That’s what I thought. Actually, she will tell you she KNOWS HOW to ride a bike. You know, the inner workings and concept of it, but she just CAN’T. Got all that? Here is how the conversation goes. Sydney: I know HOW to ride a bike, I just can’t. Me:(???????) No, sweetie if you CAN’T ride a bike, then you don’t know how. Sydney: MOM! I know HOW to ride a bike. I know what to do. I just can’t. Me:(????????????????????) N… Continue

Personal Statement

I thought I'd share this although I may have told you some of these stories already. This is the personal, very non-technical essay that schools require for admission. Of course the pictures won't be included and I may tweak it a bit, but it's almost done... here we go... ;-p … Continue

Immunity

Tis the season for the cough and the cold, the lethargy and the desire to sleep until noon…it’s Fall and soon will be Winter…H1N1 is on the loose and panic over the flu of any kind is in the air. Normally, I roll with the punches and get my flu shot like everyone else and think it’s enough. This time, I’m more concerned than I used to. I’ve been noticing my health more as I should, and I realized that I have to be more vigilant and stop taking myself and my health for granted. Living with diabet… Continue
