Hello Everyone!!!
So what have I been up to?
I have a job with Smarthinking.com so I have been training for that. The new semester starts January 23 and I am naturally a procrastinator so I haven't been able to post as much as I would like in this new year. I will get it together though. My time management skills are already getting better. That's good. And would not have been possible without God.
I feel like 09 is going to be the YEAR. Does anyone else feel like that or know what I am talking about?
My girlfriend is absolutely amazing. I love her sooooo much. We have been inseparable since I got back into town. LOL. Sorry to everyone who have tried to spend time with us...gottta get that quality time in again.
I got a sewing machine for Christmas so you know I am going to be sewing again soon.
I have so many purse ideas in my head that it isn't even funny.
I am now a contributing writer over at QueerCents. I hope you all stop by and take a look at the Dating on a Budget series, plus there are some good tidbits about managing your finances. :-)

New Year's Superstitions
As you get ready to bring the New Year in, here are a few old wives tales and superstitions that my family reminds me of every year.
1. Don't wash clothes or clean up on New Years Day. If you do, you will clean/wash someone right out of the family.
2. A man is supposed to be the first one to come in your house on New Years Day. But I don't know why. Silly asses.
3. Eat greens or a green vegetable for money.
4. Eat black eye peas for luck.
5. Eat pork for health. Does that even make sense?
6. Whatever you are doing when midnight strikes, you will be doing for the rest of the year. That's why my family went to church and we would be praying as the new year rang in.
7. If you live in an urban area, stay away from the windows. Some people like to shoot off guns at midnight. Don't want to get hit by a stray bullet.
8. You aren't supposed to sweep out your door. Put it in a dustpan/paper/and throw it in the trash. I think that was supposed to sweep someone out the family too or they would go to jail or something.
And those are the ones I really remember. A few were thrown in from my girlfriend, but my family told me those too. Whatever you decide to do. I hope you enjoy your evening. Happy New Year.
