Things have certainly changed. My roller coaster ride has been, and will continue to be pretty intense. I've come to realize that there is nothing wrong with that. There is only good in these experiences.

Physical changes...my hair is super short and RED. I can't describe how much I love this look for myself. When a hairstyle and color makes you feel more vibrant, more alive, more cheerful, more upbeat....just overall BETTER, you know it's the right one. Not to mention I have gotten more compliments on my current look than any previous one. While I would feel amazing without them, they do boost the self-esteem even more.

I am also recommiting to my health. Testing my blood sugar more often, exercising like I am supposed to, and getting out of unhealthy situations.

I've downloaded RunKeeper app to my phone as well as a pedometer. I also found this awesome program that will help motivate through monetary loss or gain.

The WIP posts obviously took a time out before they began. Though I do plan on getting started on those soon.

I just wanted to kind of update about everything from my writing, the show I am currently obsessed with, what I am reading and my new family member.

First, Pinky seems to be adjusting well. He ate well on Saturday. He has mites now though, which can be quite deadly to snakes and annoying as well. I have plans to go pick up more food for him as well as some mite spray to start treating him. I really hope they don't reinfest too much. I want to keep my boy healthy and alive.

As for my writing, nothing new has come forth. I just don't have the urge to write. Though I should be pushing myself and continuously be looking for inspiration, but I just don't have the drive to do it at the moment. Some might say I am not a true writer or that I don't really want to succeed. That is so far from the truth. I just want it to stay something I love to do rather than push myself into success to the point that it becomes a chore and I don't want to anymore.
The anthology is coming together quite well from what I understand. It is due to be published sometime in March for Women's History Month.

I am still reading Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice. It is slow going because of the shows I keep getting myself stuck on. I need to finish the current one and stay off of Netflix for a while. Haha.

Speaking of the shows I am obsessed with, right now I am in the middle of season two of Lost Girl. While the acting & writing is a bit on the "needs work" side, I still love the idea of the show, and I love the characters Kenzie, Dyson, Trick and Hale. The rest of the characters could really use some work. Also, having a succubus falling in love and trying to be monogamous? Come on people! But Kenzie cracks me up, Trick intrigues me with all of his secrets, and Dyson makes me lick my lips...and I find myself wanting to know more about Hale.

My health...part of me doesn't want to post this part because I really don't want to get a bunch of grief for not taking care of myself. I shall make this brief. I haven't been testing or sticking to my diabetic diet. So shoot me. I am paying my prices....trust me. The water intake is increasing once again and salads have replaced the pastas and pizza rolls in my fridge again. Testing my blood sugar will resume after a full day of proper diet. I know...there are a lot of risks to this kind of behavior. I am fully aware. I just find myself sighing and rolling my eyes at the whole thing. I love food...and it seems like such a travesty to not enjoy the foods you put into your mouth...to be on a constant diet. The energy and lack of pain...and the proper digestion would all be worth it, but for some reason, I find myself struggling. I will do well for a while and then revert. I have to want it...really want it........but I don't yet.

So there you have it. The latest on me. Just getting things off my chest and letting anyone who actually reads this crap all about what has been going on with moi.

Peace <3
