So yesterday, we spent a lot of the day putting a new desk in for my bf. When my grandma was working at home she had the desk set up in one of her rooms, but she just retired like 2 weeks ago and the government does not want it back. She was going to call up veterans and see if they wanted it but I asked if she thought it would be good for my bf to use and I guess she thought it was a good idea.
It wasn’t really that hard to take apart and set up, it took more time to get everything set back up at the desk how he wants. I am so happy for him though because he has so much more room and he’s always wanted something like this.
Now that he has the new desk, I got handed down his old one. So now I finally have my own lol It’s a lot more comfortable and nice.

My boyfriend is always finding new sites and sharing them with me. I end up trying them out most of the time. Some I like and stick with, some I’m not too fond of. Since I post images for people, like in comments and such he just told me about Free image hosting
It’s pretty neat because you don’t have to register and you can upload as many images as you want. It’s a really simple site, you can browse and submit and there is hotlinking allowed. I’ll probably end up using the site regularly in the future.

We had a pretty good new year. Just stayed home and relaxed. I cooked up a bunch of good things to snack on plus a yummy dinner. Everyone was satisfied. I am sorry to say my two little babies weren’t able to stay up until the new year hehe but me and my lovely one did and had a glass of champagne to help bring in the new year with a bang!
As for a new year’s resolution.. there are more than one but I am only going to list 1:
Write in my blog more.
haha

I haven’t blogged in a while because I just haven’t really had anything to say.. or better yet, I haven’t known how to say what I want to say. That happens a lot. I understand perfectly in my mind how I feel and how it’s said but when it comes to actually printing it out, none of it seems to fall together. I think this is because I tend to repeat thoughts and feelings to people and they don’t seem to understand. I actually think it would be more honest of me to say that they just don’t listen.
I think after so much time passing and this happening, I start to not understand myself anymore. “Am I not saying it right?” etc etc and I just over think and lose my train of thought and give up. It might not show sometimes but I actually have so much more to say than I ever do. My thoughts are not important or unique like I used to think.. if they were they wouldn’t go so unnoticed by the people I share them with.

I’ve always loved reading! Ever since I was very young my grandma always introduced me to books and read with me. When I took my GED test I scored amazingly high on the reading and writing sections.
But anyways, my dad’s neighbor donated a book shelf to him that he didn’t want anymore and then he sanded, stained and glossed it. It looks really nice. He brought it over to me about a week ago and neatly enough, I had tons of books to put on it. I have a lot of children’s books that were mine that are probably 15-20 years old and also some of my daughter’s newer books that I left down low so she can get to them easily.
Me and my boyfriend also had a lot of books to put on it. I might start reading a lot more now. Most of these books were left at my dad’s house, so I’m glad he brought them to me!
Besides the bookshelf, my dad has also donated some other things recently. Somebody gave him some new furniture so he gave us two coffee tables, some other type of table and a lamp. It’s all pretty nice.

I have been cleaning sooo much. I mean my house is usually clean but it’s what you can’t see.. like how dirty the carpet gets. My vacuum quit picking up and so there was lots of dust and dirt in the carpet but I finally got that cleaned today!
It makes me feel nice and fresh when everything is tidied, smells good and is clean underneath it all. The only thing I really need to keep up with at the end of the day once I’ve cleaned really well is my daughter’s toys and the dishes. Once I’ve done those things then I can relax at night.
Well I’m pooped so that is all for now. I’m going to bed!

Random interesting poem
I sit all alone in this room
As memories unfold
Tears streaming down my face again
This pain never grows old
Some say it’s a state of mind
But it’s my heart that really hurts
I only aim to please you all
But what’s a smile really worth?
This is the story of my life
The saga of my tears
A story told a thousand times
Remade over the years
If you listen up closely
Maybe you might hear
The beating of my heart
And the saga of my tears
They say that life’s a trip
I hit the ground face first
Lost everything I ever wanted
But it could have been worse
Or that’s what they tell me
Do they sit alone in the dark?
Or stare into broken mirrors
Thinking it’s the pieces of their heart
This is the story of my life
The saga of my tears
A story told a thousand times
Remade over the years
If you listen up closely
Maybe you might hear
The beating of my heart
And the saga of my tears
This is the saga of my tears
A saga that never ends
This a the saga of my tears
That fall from cheeks til the end

Ok so I’m a bit of an amateur when it comes to maintaining an aquarium.. sure I know the basics but I think I was in a bit of a rush at getting fish. A bit of advice to anyone would be to NOT stock your tank with lots of fish when you first get it! 1 or 2 fish is fine, especially in a 10 gallon tank! Then after about 6-8 weeks.. adding a new fish every week is fine.
If you throw in too many fish in the beginning, the ammonia level in the water becomes way too high because of all the fish waste and this is very harmful to the fish. The good bacteria hasn’t had long enough to grow before the 6-8 weeks but once it is established then it takes care of most of the ammonia. A general rule for ESTABLISHED aquariums is one inch of adult fish per gallon. Keep in mind that it may take a few tiny neon tetras to make that one inch and don’t forget that the fish are usually young when you buy them and that they are going to get bigger.
Being that I’ve lost several fish It’s been pretty disappointing.. the fish that we still have left seem to be doing very well except for one who just keeps hanging on but doesn’t look well at all. I’m mostly disappointed in myself not the aquarium =/

Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
I come home in the morning light
My mother says when you gonna live your life right
Oh mother dear we’re not the fortunate ones
And girls just want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun
The phone rings in the middle of the night
My father yells what you gonna do with your life
Oh daddy dear you know you’re still number one
But girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have–
That’s all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls– they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun
Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I want to be the one to walk in the sun
Oh girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have
That’s all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls–they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun,
They want to have fun,
They want to have fun…

what the hell is insanity? who is permitted to diagnose such a thing? is insanity a loop of never ending pain that one reflects in such an organized and efficient way in their mind but is completely aimless and “insane” to the rest of the world?
