Making out in In the kitchen, I was 13, I burnt dinner that night

It was perfect for a first kiss, not a lot of slobber, but sweet. Thank you Craig!!!

The Great Coupon Hunt

Its amazing how many coupon sites are out there, I stumble across a blog on here, called, Realmoneyrealwomenworkathome.. oh yea a long name. Here is the link.. http://www.realwomenrealmoneyworkfromhome.blogspot.com/. Jen has it together, and offers alot of ideas on how to make money at home, plus save cash, she only posts things she has checked out herself, and she personally answers her emails, which is really unusual for a serious blogger with a great following. Another site that is amazing in www.coupondad.net, he is a local man in my area that started because of hard times and has really gathered a following. I just tried his site and found some great shares. I follow him on Twitter, which makes it a little easier to know what he has going on new.
Its funny, I used to coupon a long time ago, and I am so not saying how long cause well, I don't want to be reminded how old I really am. Now I don't need to but truly like the challenge of seeing just how low I can get my grocery bill. Its become a fun game, with the savings going into a savings account for the extra things we want but would not use income from work on. I wonder how many people will continue to shop wisely after this recession is over, or if this is the fad of the moment and when the economy picks up it goes back to not caring what something costs. I have always been a frugal shopper, more so cause I work hard for my money and hate to think I don't respect the work I put into getting it. I truly hope that this is a life style change for many. Any one that knows legitamite survey sites or coupon sites, please let Jen know so she can share them, or leave them for me to give to her. I don't want all the work that comes to handling a site like hers, but surely would love to pass on info for her to check out and share with her followers.

'Karma Sutra' will make you LOL

Cause come on, how many normal women can get in that position?

Imitation

Imitation is suppose to be the sincerest form of flattery, yet when I see that some one is picking up things I do and copying the behaviour, I almost feel sad that they do. Its as though they only see the good parts of my life and ignore the pain, frustrations, annoyances. Being me is good, but some days, like most people its not great. I think that people should honestly see the value in themselves, and project that to the world they exist in. I can honestly say that I have found some great people who think they are no ones and I see that they are very much someone.
I am not even sure how to validate someone to where they would see their own value. Do we ever see our own value?

Self esteem especially on the net is almost non existent, well real self esteem anyway. Brad Paisley came out with a song called Online, and it really defines how alot of people on the net are. It honestly describes the psyche of some of the people online. And often that is where you meet someone and thru a series of conversation, they decide they like your life better, and will become you. It is often a rare event to find someone who is honestly who they say they are. Wether in the net, or in life, people are no comfortable with being who they are, and often put on a different persona thinking it is what will attract friends, lovers, mates.

Interesting Thoughts

I am finding out that with the recession being what it is, many are turning to the computer to make extra cash, between contests, samples, coupons, and other ways being advertised, a stay at home mom can easily help supplement the family income. I am not sure how true this is, or how much a person can make from it, but I am interested for any facts that can be shared on this. I am currently running a ministry and would love new ways to help the ones I help bring cash in to their lives to meet some needs they have. One of the problems I have found with people who are in situations that cause them to not be able to work in traditional jobs, is loss of self esteem, not being able to pull their own weight in their family. Most have tried many online work at home schemes which just made solid their thoughts of not being able to make smart choices or decisions.
I am hoping to find legitimate ideas that will help buy that extra loaf of bread, the gallon of milk that would make the day a little more healthier.

Love or Infatuation

Infatuation is instant desire, one set of glands calling to another.
Love is friendship that has caught fire. It takes root and grows, one day at a time.
Infatuation is marked by a feeling of insecurity. You are excited and eager, but not genuinely happy. There are nagging doubts, unanswered questions, little bits and pieces about your beloved that you would just as soon not examine too closely. It might spoil the dream.
Love is the quiet understanding and mature acceptance of imperfection. It is real. It gives you strength and grows beyond you, to bolster your beloved. You are warmed by their presence, even when they are away. Miles do not separate you. You have so many wonderful little films in your head that you keep replaying. But near or far, you know they are yours, and you can wait.
Infatuation says, "We must get married right away. I can't risk losing them."
Love says, "Be patient. Don't panic. Plan your future with confidence."
Infatuation has an element of sexual excitement. Whenever you are together, you hope it will end in intimacy.
Love is not based on sex. It is the maturation of friendship, which makes sex so much sweeter. You must be friends before you can be lovers.
Infatuation lacks confidence. When they're away, you wonder if they're cheating. Sometimes, you check.
Love means trust. You are calm, secure and unthreatened. They feel your trust, and it makes them even more trustworthy.
Infatuation might lead you to do things you will regret, but love never steers you in the wrong direction.
Love is an upper. It makes you feel whole. It completes the circle. It fills the empty space in your heart. Love is elevating. It lifts you up. It makes you look up. It makes you think up. It makes you a better person than you were before. If you have love in your life, it can make up for a great many things you don't have. If there is no love in your life, whatever else there is has a lot less meaning.
