I have noticed something lately that has disturbed me quite a bit. And I am not talking about a little thing either. To me, it is a pretty big thing. I would love to know if anyone else is experiencing the same thing or not.
What am I talking about? Thinning hair!!! I am a woman of only 35 years, and my hair is so incredibly thin that it is borderline embarrassing. I had even made a joke to my husband that I need to get Rogaine for women or some other vitamins for hair.
Now, I have always had thin hair, but now it is so thin that if I were to lift my hair up, you can see my scalp all the way from the front to the back.
A good friend of mine has suggested that it could have something to do with the birth control that I am on, or it could have something to do with my thyroid. I don’t know what it is from. I just want it better.
Of course, time stills for no one, but to be losing my hair now? I think I am still too young. I guess I need to buckle down and try and figure this thing out while I still have some hair on my head! But I guess, worse case scenario, I could always go with a wig!
Hello my friends! It has been quite sometime since I have done a meme. Hey, it has been quite sometime since I have posted blogs. My site was down for a little while, but I am back up and running now. My great friend Jenn is helping me. She is so amazing.
On to this week’s meme. If you have forgotten about the rules of the meme. It is pretty simple….there are no rules. Just say the first thing that comes to your mind. Thanks to Luna Nina for bringing these to us every week.
Here it is:

That is it. I know a few may be scratching thier heads on some of these, but hey, that is what makes it fun. It is your own thing!!!
This is the season for taxes. To some, this is a great time of year, and to others, it is a much dreaded time.
Now for the ones that this is a great time, what and how do you decide on what to spend your refund on? There are so many things that try to get our attention as far as what to buy.
One of the most common that I have seen lately is car lots. The companies tell you to bring in your W-2 and your refund is your down payment. But I have to ask, is it a smart thing to put yourself in further debt unnecessarily? Now if you need a vehicle, then by all means, go for it, but if it is more of a want than a need, then you may want to weigh your options a little more closely.
A few of the others that seem to be very popular are LCD TVs, iPods, laptops, and gaming systems, just to name a few.
I want to present a question however. What about, instead of spending the money, you save the money? Find an account that you can put the money in that will grow for you.
If you are the type of person that when you get a little extra money, it ‘burns a hole’ in your pocket, then maybe you need to rethink how you spend your money. Take this opportunity with you taxes to get a good head start with saving money. Then you would have a comfortable place to carry on from for the rest of the year.
We have had the worst winter in years! And I have felt it more than ever this year.
Here at my house, we do not have central heating and air. That is a great luxury, one that I will never take for granted again.
To heat my house, I use a fireplace and portable electric heaters. And very recently, I discovered an amazing thing that I could not live without now. What is it, you may ask?
Electric blankets and heated mattress pads. These are two of the most wonderful things ever!!!
My heating bill has dropped about $75 a month because of these two things. I am able to only run one heater at night instead o 2 or 3 of them.
The blanket and the mattress pad keep us warm and toasty enough that we don’t need a lot of extra heat. They worked so great for me, that I decided to get one for each of the kids too. So now, we are all loving nights.
Even when we do get central heating and air, I will continue to use electric blankets and heated mattress pads. It saves a lot of money on your heating costs and it is a wonderful thing to climb into a bed that is all warm and toasty, just waiting for you to slip into dream land.
I have been recently thinking of going back to school. I have been thinking that I need to not only go back to school but back to work full time as well.
My two teenagers, thirteen and fifteen, thought about this for a few moments and asked me if I was too old to go back to school.
Well, the nerve of them, right? Actually, I found it pretty humorous. When they asked that, it made me think of myself sitting in a high school setting. That made me laugh.
But of course, we don’t have to go back to high school. In fact, a lot of times, we don’t even have to go to a traditional college either. So what do you do, you may ask?
Well, you can go to school in your pajamas. HUH??? Yes, you heard that right. Online schools is the next big thing. Well, maybe I am a little behind, online schools have been around for a few years now.
You can get degrees in many areas. From informational security and nursing to fire service administration to public safety administration. There is even Organizational leaders masters that you can get. I know a few people that could benefit from that one, namely myself.
There are so many things that you can do online and going back to school to better myself in this economy sounds like a pretty fantastic thing to do.
I guess it is time that I get over the idea that I am too old to go back to school and just do it. I mean think about it, what is better than attending school and bettering yourself in your pj’s?
