Long time, New Post!

Hello to anyone that's reading! It has certainly been awhile since I've posted, yes? The last two years have been quite a horrible storm but I certainly got through it stronger. Now, I won't go through all the details but, there's a quick and dirty summary..

In 2013 I lost my job of two years because I couldn't lift more than 5-10 pounds, I turned 21, I didn't find a job until 2014 at another gas station where they started me off at full time and then dwindled me down at weekends and then my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. That's all the bad stuff...Well mostly all the bad stuff, I'm leaving a few things out that I'm not ready to talk about yet.

So half of 2015 is gone now and my mom is doing SO much better, she is no longer on chemotherapy and just finished radiation about three months ago! In the beginning of March of this year I got a new, better, awesome job! I am now a pharmacy technician in training! It is going incredibly well and I am very happy. It's with Walgreen's, and I'm loving the discount I get too. Lets just say my makeup collection is getting a bit wonderfully, ridiculous!

I've also lost 35 pounds and still continuing! I'm on a medication for migraines that has a weight loss side effect and I've also been exercising and watching what I've been eating for the last 6 months. Although the last 3 months I'll admit I haven't been exercising since I started my new job. I'm trying to fix it though!

Lately, I've been thinking about getting into modeling and doing product reviews on my blog. I might do some product reviews on Instagram as well. Just some fun things to do while I'm studying for my actual technician license. I'll post again soon! Xoxo!

Ramble of an Insomniac

I will never make a living as a planner of any kind. I most definitely didn't post a day, certainly didn't write a single bit unless it was involved with Twitter or Facebook...That I am most certain of since I've spent most of my summer catching up on the sleep that I missed for almost 6 months. In that time I've managed to get my whole biological sleepy time clock completely reversed. It's 3:24AM as I write, and I'm not in the least bit tired. Let's just "The Lazy Song" by Bruno Mars has been my Summer song, minus the sex with a female (and yeah, male too.)

I'm staying up until 10pm that way I can take my sleeping pills, fall asleep and stay asleep because I start school August 4th. Not to mention I have surgery the 2nd.  I have to get some matrix out of my toe, which means people will touch my foot. EW. At least I'll be knocked out with anesthesia.Two hours prep time, one hour surgery, and 1-3 hours after-wait for me to wake up, make sure I'm unaffected in any way, pain levels and all that crap. Fun eh? And why the hell i it called a matrix? Transformer's matrix is cooler, so be sure.

E.T. by the talented and exquisite Katy Perry just came on SiriusXM Hits 1....WOOHOO. One of the best songs of the year to be honest. I didn't plan on rambling about everything but I think it's best to write everything down as it comes to me. That way, I get all the ramble out now before I focus on an actual topic. 

Ah, so I'm still 160 pounds, the weights been up and down but I've been a bit more strict and have been to keep it at that number for the past three weeks. After my toe heals and I'm able to walk without hurting I'll start to exercise again. But for now I have to not to "stress my foot."

So I have a feeling I'm going to write a bit more after this. In fact I'll probably write so much I'll "stress my fingers." Gods, there's a lot of filth that comes to my mind at those three words sentenced together. 

Mind. Gutter. Out.

New Age, New Body, New Plan!

19. A very insignificant number. However, that's how many years I'm proud and happy to say I've lived as of May the 21st. Woohoo! Just two more years until I'm 21...again WOOHOO! Now that is a significant number. Have I mentioned, ever, that I adore Vegas? Big flashy lights, a diversity of people....well I think most of them are people, and the hotels....the architecture...Gods, I'm already planning my stay at one of those many fabulously wonderful hotels. Back on track...


160. Another random number but significant to me because three months ago this number would of been 188. Confused yet?....Think of pounds....Weight...Getting there now?...Yes! I LOST 28 pounds. So I look much better and am still losing pounds. WoOt! 


60. As in days. In 60 days, starting on June 1st or 7th I am going to spend 60 days writing. Hopefully I can write a novel or two before school starts again. And even more hopefully, I can get them published! But, I need to get a new desktop before I do this so that's why I'm a bit iffy on the start date. 


1. A. Day. I want to TRY and write one most a day after school ends. Most difficult thing ever. Why? Because I don't have much of a life at all. I eat, go to school, browse the web, watch TV, dance and sing for a whole hour and then try my best to go to sleep. And since I've been sleeping 1-4 hours a night for the past two months, I read as if I won't live if I don't.


So, that's everything newness that's entered my life. Sad, no? Hopefully, I'll get some BIG newness. =)


Much peace and magic,

My New Life and New Goal

It's been a long time.

Too long. But, I have a good reason. My life is slowly improving. I'm going back to school four hours a day on a computer at a school, got almost 5 credits in less than three months of being there. I'm taking an online college class for "Human Growth and Development" and have an A+ (155 out of 155, 100%) I'm SO excited and SO proud of myself. I never thought I'd say that.

I shall be volunteering at the local hospital soon as well. In the ER, it should be interesting and hopefully help with my social awkwardness. So far so good.

I'm also thinking about redoing youtube videos and starting an experiment. I want to share with the world of youtube my journey to losing weight. I'm still 180 pounds and want to weigh 130. So, I'm thinking about sharing my reasons why I'm doing the videos in the first video and tell why I want to lose weight. And in the second video I will explain my first week of dieting and exercising and such. It's still a plan in progress, but I'm open to suggestions and opinions.

Hopefully I can keep up with blogging too. I know I said my blog was moved to Tumblr but that's more of a picture site and stuff.

Peace and Magic,

Your Gypsy Lady.
