30 Day Meme: Day 2 Fav Movie

Posted in 30 Day Meme, Family, Movies on July 22nd, 2010 by admin

Ugh…. I love movies so much, the idea of picking one is killing me! Maybe I’ll rant about my fav genre and something will come to mind lol.

Ever since I was a little girl I have always loved horror. It started because my dad owned a video store (yes actual videos, before dvds lol). I was so fascinated by the covers of horror movies, especially the monsters. I really don’t remember the first movie I saw…. I started watching them pretty regularly from the beginning lol. My Dad was a horrible influence hehe, introducing me to zombies and werewolves. I’ve been hooked ever since.

Hands down my favourite type of movies are zombie films (with werewolves coming in close second). On one hand they can be so hilarious, and on the other they can be absolutely terrifying. I think the scariest thing is the idea of complete isolation, completely being alone in a world that wants to eat you…. pretty creepy.

That’s actually given me some ideas of my fav zombie movies:

28 Weeks Later:

I also love Shaun of the Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Night of the Living Dead etc. Some of my other fav horror movies are Hostel Part2, Blair Witch Project 2: Book of Shadows, Saw series etc. I’m not sure but I love sequels lol.

Fundraiser for Camp

Posted in Family, YouTube on May 18th, 2010 by admin

Well this past Sunday my family and I went to the Trek 4 Kids. It’s a marathon which raises money for kids to go to camp. My son Darien is going to camp for his second time this summer because of programs like this.

So here is a video of the day, also with interviews with Darien and I:

It was a great experience. We did the 5k walk…. which tired me out. But I’m hoping next year to go even further. :)

Random Late Night Rant…

Posted in Family, Random Rants on May 3rd, 2010 by admin

It’s now 1:40 in the morning, so if this isn’t too coherant, I’m sorry.

I just can’t sleep. So much stuff has been going on lately and I just really feel the need to rant it all out. I know I usually don’t blog about personal stuff, but hey, it’s my blog lol.

Pretty much money sucks. It sucks even more when there is a lack of it. I’ve been working at a pet store for over 2 years now. When I applied I wanted full time. I was told I would start off as part time, which was fine with me. Over the past 2 years my hours have gone down, more and more each week. Next week I have two 3 hour shifts! Argh…… Now I know a lot of it has to do with some new scheduling, and a lot of people are pissed. But six hours? I won’t even make enough to cover groceries for that week!

Now please don’t get me wrong, I know I’m lucky right now to even have a job. But still I can’t help but be freaking out a bit. And it’s not just that, things are hard all the way around. Jay (my husband) got laid off last year. He was at his company for 11 years and they shut down. He was able to get another job (thank god) but of course is making a lot less than before. It’s really starting to catch up with us. Right now my biggest fear is that we may have to sell our home. We bought it 2 years ago when we were both working and things were good. But so much has gone on since then.

I am looking for a second job. As much as my current one lives me disgruntled, I’m not about to quit any source of income. It’s just nerve racking to go through this process all over again, and find something that will work around my current job, Jay’s work schedule, and taking care of the boys.

Bah…. anyways that’s my little rant for now. I’m going to drink more coffee and look for more jobs. I’ll be sure to post something more interesting soon. Nighty night all.

EDIT: Well after doing my nails and visiting GivesMeHope I’m feeling much better. Really there’s no where else to go but up. :) Thanks for tolerating my ranting hehe.

Getting Lazy…. and Now I’m 25

Posted in Family, Site Updates on April 17th, 2010 by admin

This is just a quick update. I’m know I’ve been lazy…. but really with good reason. I’ve been feeling really gross with a head cold. I’m starting to get over it… thankfully.

Also this past week was my birthday :). I went with my husband and boys (well one boy cause the other was at school lol) to Kings Buffet for lunch. Then the hubby went to work for the evening so the boys and I had a quiet evening in. After they went to bed a couple of my friends came over to hang out. It was a quiet birthday but really nice.

So other than that not too much is going on. I’m heading out to work now but I’m working on a couple posts that will be ready for Tues.

Oh and I also have to new affiliates. WhirlWind and MalloryMalloney. I’ll have their links in the sidebar soon too. Byes for now. :)
