Here's a tip ..
Once you stop upgrading your house or fixing your new house .. you never want to start again.
we were here for two weeks constantly non-stop painting, chipping, cleaning fixing mopping.. and then we stopped... and I haven't picked up a paint brush since!
I have cabinets with no cabinet doors on them because
I MESSED UP THE STAIN THE FIRST TWO TIMES AND I'M SO TIRED OF STAINING THEY MIGHT STAY WITH THE DOORS OFF!
I have a bathroom that's half painted and with no grout but tiles ...
I have a kitchen wall that's half done and needs to be painted still
DONT STOP WORKING FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DONT STOP! PAINT UNTIL ITS ALL DONE!! STAIN UNTIL YOUR HANDS ARE STAINED TOO!
KEEP GOING
I'll... be over here ... brewing coffee... trying to get back in the mood...

We Moved! List of things that maybe I should have done, and if I could do it over I would have done, And maybe you should do them too.
Ok we moved again .. hopefully this time for the last time.
Well not the last last time but the last time for hopefully a couple of years .. Like 5 to 10 years!
We bought a house this time!
Its amazing and bigger than any place we've ever rented before. so YAY!
It just feels like a lot of responsibility LIKE for instance ... There are a Bazillion things I need to clean today because people are probably coming over this weekend to check out the new house, and I'm online writing about how I should be cleaning and have a million things to clean that actually cleaning .. One more time YAY!
I feel like because we have a house now that I need to have toilet paper and gifts for people that are coming over ... currently we have no toilet paper and barely water to offer people that come over. SOME ONE NEEDS TO HEAD TO THE STORE!
Don't worry .. Don't freak out!
DEEP DEEP breath!!
We will figure out this owning a home thing just like we do everything .. together laughing over how I messed stuff up the first time by reading and writing this blog.
Alright so the first thing I should have done when we first got here instead of being so excited we just moved all our crap in super fast and putting boxes every where .. was
1) I should have mopped and cleaned all the surfaces FIRST! The house we bought was a foreclosure ... I'm not sure if you buy a house from someone (like a person not a bank) if they clean on their way out .. but either way it seems like common sense that you would want to wash off all their germs before you put your things down. MY house was covered in dirt and dust and SPIDERS because it hadn't been lived in for a year. I should have mopped and dusted.. although that wouldn't have made a huge difference since my husband tore out the bathroom and created a huge dusty mess all over the house.
2) when I was packing up our other residence I should have marked the boxes with which room the boxes needed to go into. and maybe like a SMALL list of what's in the box on the outside. I also should have had more of a plan on what to put in boxes. i.e.. Things that are related to each other in every box In stead of my "everything must go in a box no matter what box it is" plan.
3) when we got here I should have paid more attention to where the dirty clothes were and maybe marked them dirty... no explanation should be needed here.
4) PACK A SUITCASE! pack for at least a week! I packed an over night bag thinking I would have everything were its supposed to go already ... its three weeks later, I don't have a bathroom and I cant find anything.
5) I am very scared of spiders ... like I scream. Roaches I'm ok with .. other bugs as long as its not a spider I can step on pretty easily .. but spiders ... are scary. MY HOUSE WAS COVERED IN THEM! little ones that jump, HUGE ONES that look like "her" from Lord of the Rings. I almost peed when this one that could only be described as a tarantula came charging at me...
long story short .. your gonna need like bug spray and your need to spray before you bring your crap in and hopefully you have a few days to let everything sink in a die. I did I sprayed the day we closed and then we got the keys like a few days later, and by then I was able to sweep up all the dead things.
Learn from me friends .. I'm here being your comedic relief so you can learn.
I hope to hopefully have this place sorted out ...next week haha My booboo goes back to school on Monday so I will have more time to clean, wash, dust, squash, and mow. If you have questions about maybe buying a home ... haha I had very little to no part in a actual proceedings. All I did was find the realtor and house since our realtor was useless. I then found a new realtor and my husband did the rest. I would say if we could do it all over again I would want to be present if at all possible at the appraisal. Our toilet was CLOGGED! I don't know if it was the previous owner or if it just happened in the matter of year it wasn't used. man All those problem all those things we should have looked at need to be in a whole different blog. I'll write that one next.
Anyway I hope I helped or at least made you laugh

OK ok let me help you out!
Lets pretend your terrible irresponsible human being like myself and you needed to file and extention on your taxes like I did but you dont know where to do that at?! I'll help you out .. One procrastinator to another!
SO if you still don't have your shit together and you need more time to do your taxes because April 15th is coming up soon (Like tonight at midnight) then you need to file an extention.
which I did with Turbo tax:
https://myturbotax.intuit.com/
turbo tax is an amazing site that helped me with the rest of the process!
Even after I couldn't go any farther they helped me out with finding all the phone numbers to call. I called the IRS like a million times with two different numbers that were all provided by Turbo Tax. So a big thank you to them!
** Turbo Tax in no way paid me for this blog post... should someone from Turbo Tax feel the need to reach out to me they can email me!**

Filing My Taxes
So its June..... and your wondering why I'm just now filing my taxes
because I was waiting on my L.P. to decide weather or not to claim me or not.
SO I filed for an extension because he was taking his dear sweet time. Now then if you want to file an extension you can do that through turbo tax, they guide you right through it and it was super easy. They make you make a pin number that has nothing to do with anything and you don't use it ever so just keep that in mind. That's what I didn't know and it caused a lot of problems later.
Alright so months later here I go filing my taxes. the actual taxes are a breeze thanks to Turbo Tax. Now here is where we get into the foggy what tha heck area.. before you submit you need to get your Pin number from the IRS you use your social, date of birth, and address off your last years taxes to get your pin... when I entered all my info, the machine said that doesn't match what we have on file please call the office.. Ok fine I'll call. Yesterday I was on the phone with them for an hour and never got through. Today I called and they denied my call completely saying they were full of calls and could take no more. They told me to call back tomorrow. BOOOOO fine.. I guess I have until October I'll call next week and see how it goes.
Moral of the story .. FILE BEFORE APRIL 15th!

Working out on your 30th year of life
I started going to the gym ... again.
This will be like my 3rd week at the gym .. really my 4th but last week didn't count because I only went once since it was keeks last week of school and there was parties and water balloon days plus graduation ceremony i needed to attend instead.
So going to the gym at an old age.... (well older age I'm not in my 20s anymore)
There's a lot of gas.. LOL for real. I'm gassy all the time there. I don't know why I guess with all the moving around it make the air come down.
My BMs are normal now .. that's nice. If your having issues with your BMs you might try walking.
My joints hurt! I have to take Advil PM now to sleep. It usually my elbows and my back. Because I have a big but I cant sleep on my back usually but it hurts so much I have been doing so.
So I'll break down what I do at the gym and you can comment if you think I should do anything different or if you know I need to change stuff.
I walk on the treadmill (like a power walk) for 10 minutes
Lift 5 pound weights 50 times bicep curls and Hammer curls 50 each
then I use some machines and do 5 reps of 10 sometimes 3 reps of 20 depending on the compexness of the machine
I don't know the names of the machines just what they work and they are mostly arms machines since that the part of my body I hate the most right now (besides my stomach obviously). In addition to the arm machines though I also use the leg crunchy machines that I feel like people stare at me when I use .. you know .. the vagina crunchers and the vagina opener ... if your a chick you know which ones I mean, they work your thighs.
Then the squat machine ... and I go home after that one.
I really don't know what else to do! My knees are in such bad shape I cant run very well on the treadmill, plus they are located on the second floor of the gym and my running thumps vibrate the whole building!
I need to figure out a way to work out my abs.
Anyway
Have a good day, go find a job for me ... and think about ab workouts.

Damn it!
Alright alright... Its been a year again!
Worst Blog In the History OF the WORLD!
Sorry, LOL
Anyway we moved back to Sinton, Texas. We moved into my mother in laws again, Isn't that nice? L.P. is trying to buy a house right now and I can't help him. When we moved back in August, I worked for my mother in law for a little while at her Palateria. A palateria is a Ice pop shop... Kinda .. she made fruit cups, with a Mexican chili on top of the fruit. She made nachos, and sandwhiches, salads ... snack items I guess. My mother in law started getting sick from the stress, I guess and she had to close her shop. With my son in Pre-kay that put me at home everyday since then. Why didn't you blog Nik? Because we just got a new computer like a month ago and frankly I was depressed OK! The only reason I consented to moving back to Sinton was because I was gonna go to school and have a job. BUT when my mother in law closed her shop that was pretty much it for me. I wouldn't be able to get another job that would work with my school schedule my sons school schedule and if he would have been sick I could leave him in the back office while I worked. All that's gone now..
I'm currently trying to figure out if I should get a job or go back to school, at this point I cant do both. Not with keeks in school. One at a time. Right now L.P. seems stable enough were I can go back to school BUT hes trying to buy a house and I'm not sure if were gonna make it. I should just do it anyway and if we have issues I cant always put school on hold ... AGAIN.
Either way school wont start until August and its June .. that's two months of arguing about money with L.P. two months with a wedding, a baby shower, and a Quince to attend.. All of which I'm doing things in. Well not the wedding I just need to find a dress for that one. But the baby shower and the quince Ive got duties to attend to.
Ive put out applications to .. everywhere! I've seriously put out at least 7 a week for the last 4 or 5 weeks. Everyday I apply to something else. I got denied at walmart! How do you get denied at walmart! They told me I was over qualified... GREAT.
I just need money!
Anyway I'm gonna post soon about going to the gym on the 30th year of my life in a little bit. watch out for that.
Keep you heads up! I know I'm trying to!

Stop Hating on Yourself Your Making Yourself Look Crazy
I think I and some girls get to caught up with the "he loves me, he doesn't love me" game. Or the thought process where you tell yourself if I only do this (like lose 15 pounds) he'll love me more, in my case... if only I could catch a really big shark (or learn to drive this stupid car better) ... he would love me more.... Chick! PLEASE if this dude doesn't love you right now right now, no matter how many fish or pounds you lose (or cars you strip gears on) it not gonna sway him. Luckily! If you would only love yourself and be happy with yourself it would make you more attractive. More attractive than the 10 pounds, the catching of more fish, and buying of new cars. YOU set the tone dear. If you act like a bad ass who loves herself ... he's gonna see that and love that bad ass. Lol. More importantly the doing of things for yourself and not for him is better emotionally. So screw you mando! I'm losing weight for me! And catching sharks...ok wait let's be serious catching smaller yet still impressive fish because I WANT TO. (Look on the car thing I think I'm as good as I'm gonna get. You shoulda thought about that before you bought the damn thing. AND that's YOUR dream car not mine. PLUS! I'm really not that bad at driving it. You just wish you were married to the female Pastrana. And guess what she doesn't exist and if she did she would want to be with him and probably an STI. You got a WRX mo fo... so you get a WRX wife. Bahahah ahahaha)
Moral of the very long story. LOVE yourself because he won't until you do. I didn't love me for a long time and I think my relationship suffered and for other strenuous reasons is still suffering but I'm working on it. Sometimes writing it out makes you see the light.
