Making things easier

Lately, I have been trying to figure how to make doing my work more efficient. I do a lot of freelance too and sometimes I get myself so over-booked, and I am trying to do a million things at one time.

I know I need to work smarter, not harder, but sometimes I just don't have the time to even adjust my process so make it more efficient. I think I just need to invest in some easier ways of doing things, especially managing my files. I don't have time to make CDs or struggle when I am on the go. I need to invest in some memory cards that will let me take my work with me quickly from place to place. After that, I need to get myself into the habit of using them and keeping things organized!

Going to see Batman?

Well, it's finally here and everybody wants to go see the late Heath in the most disgusting Joker getup. He does pull off creepiness pretty well.

Per the reports, the movie has been considered to have the best opening weekend ever and has already brought in a cool $155.34 million. Wow! I can't wait to go see it. Christian Bale is real hottie.

"A Warner Bros. executive says the Batman sequel "The Dark Knight" has taken in $155.34 million to top "Spider-Man 3" for best opening weekend ever at the box office. Studio distribution chief Dan Fellman says "The Dark Knight" also broke the "Spider-Man 3" record for best debut in IMAX large-screen theaters with $6.2 million."

Affordable Glasses!

What is this? Affordable eyeglasses!

I am so excited to hear about this Optical4less.com. Basically an online store to buy stylish prescription eyeglasses that are as low as $15 a pair. Wow! That blows me away. Now I know there is a huge mark up on glasses. I worked for an optometrist for 5 years. It was scary how much we marked them up. I know that was their bread and butter though because exam fees were mostly paid out by Medicare or out of pocket so they couldn't budge much there.

Glasses comes with frame, prescription lenses with anti-reflective coatings, UV coatings, cololrful stylish case, and microfibre cleaning cloth. You can even get bendable ones! I so need those with the kids around.

Knowledge is power

I love being on top of the latest info. Whether it be fashion, news, top diet pills, great recipes. I love knowing it all. The more info, the better! Knowledge is power. My newest thing is finding out about health. I totally am into finding out the best ways to keep yourself healthy, with the right nutrition, exercise, even spirituality. Goodness knows, how many people remember to take care of that side.

I am charged up to get out there and find the right thing to do. Starting my research now. I will definitely pass on all my good useful info!

Sick and tired of waiting

I am getting so tired of waiting for call backs...why does it take people so long to call you back! At least four people are due to be ringing my line. Contractors, babysitters.....urgh! What is wrong with these people, are they all on vacation???

Pick up the damn phone and call me people!

Oh no...thinking college

It is hard to believe how expensive college is these days. And then what about when my kids come of age...OMG, hopefully their 529 will help. My friend was talking about getting all her daughter's stuff for college soon, room decor, textbooks, the whole gamut. Its costing her a fortune. It really is going to break my budget, I know it. I don't know how people with 2 or 3 kids in college do it. Mine are only a 3 year difference so for at least a year, I will be poor, big time. I guess I better start pushing those sports and acadmic clubs...maybe one will be lucky enough to get a scholarship.

Taking a little risk

Some days I feel like doing something risky. It's funny how when you get older, you seem to lose that sense of risk-taking. The sense of crazy freedom to just do something wild. Maybe because I am not a laid back kind of gal who likes to hang on the back of used Harleys with a fast driving guy, helmet-free or go skydiving with adrenaline junkies. I am definitely too uptight for that nonsense though still... just once in awhile, I'd like to do something crazy. Maybe a little more crazy than trying out a new eye shadow or leaving dirty dishes in the sink (which I never do). What can I do? What is a little risky and crazy but not totally nuts for someone like me?

An unepected thank you

So last night my son is playing with his sister on the floor, tickling and rolling around on the floor. He turns to me and says, "thank you mom for giving me my sister."

Me heart melts...

To feel sexy again

I have been thinking, I'm in my thirties, aren't I supposed to be in my sexual peak? Having two kids though seems to have sucked away any ability to feel fun, flighty and well, just all out like a sexy diva. I do remember days when I actually donned a cute slinky skirt and went out dancing feeling like a sex goddess, now if I don't have any holes in my old flannel pajamas, I'm happy. How do I get that spark going again? And I am not talking about the spark between hubs and I...it doesn't take much for him. I am talking about feeling sexy myself.

What do you do to feel sexy?

Is it a nice bath, surrounded by candles?

Dressing up in something really risque, such as lacy garter belts or sexy body stockings?

What gets you feeling like a sultry queen in her lair?
