Adult Dilemmas
On this day 5 years ago my Niece was born and changed all of our lives forever. Today we had a mini party for her at the house and it was kind of emotional for me. I’ll explain that later. I came late because I didn’t know she was going to be at my Mom’s house. It was a last minute thing and I was asleep when they called because of working the night before. She was opening the toys she had just unwrapped before I got there and the excitement of opening more was the last thing on her mind. She opened the things I got her and was happy about them, but it was hot and had already been a long day. She was in the 5 year old brat mode by that time but still I wanted 10 of her. It would be a miracle to have a child as cool as her.
And now the emotional part of it all. I have such a connection with her, it makes the choice I am about to make really hard. Financially I can’t live in Maine on my own anymore. I spend all Summer catching up with last Winter’s costs since that tree fell on my house and depleted my savings/backup money. Add the bad economy in a small town and low paying jobs to the mix and it’s disaster for a single person. Unless of course you’re male or a super strong lady. Or of course college educated, which I’m not. There’s no kind of assistance for people in my situation and I’ve been lucky enough to be blessed with special people around me that help me out.
This all leads me to the choices I have to make. Next week I am going down to Florida to stay with my cousin, look for a job and see if I can really take it in that area. Do I want to move? Absolutely not! Do I have to? Pretty much if I’m going to learn to survive on my own. It’s become really important to me over the years and possibly even held me back from forming a relationship, but I need to know I’ll be fine after my Parents are gone and if that special guy leaves one day. Is that neurotic?

Chores and more
I have a day off where I don’t have to do anything until this evening when I become a guest on the Monstah McNasty show. So what have I done today? Laundry, mopping, started watching Glee from the beginning. I also worked on my business website and paid bills. I meant to make it to the town office today but that didn’t happen. I was too into watching Glee. It’s so much better when you watch episdes back to back. You notice things that you usually don’t pick up on when you have a week between episodes.
I’m glad I could take the day off to breath and get things done. There’s only so much stress you can take when you’re surrounded by piles of laundry and house work that you’ve been meaning to get to, but get distracted by something else.

A Day off and a Best Friend
Finally I got a day off. I’ll end up working on the new business later this evening I’m sure but I’m spending the afternoon with one of my best friends, Jen. I haven’t seen her in a while and she finally has a day off and a babysitter so we are going to bang our heads on the table together for a while. I’ve known Jen for years. We can go a long time without talking but still come together like we didn’t miss a beat. I have one other friend that I can be that way with. Lately, it seems like those are the only people you can fully trust. My favorite memory of things Jen and I have done, was when we skipped school one winter day. They must have been doing pictures or something for the yearbook because both of us were wearing skirts. We did our normal routine of skipping, leave when class gets out and walk through the track field, jump over the fence and take the trails to her house. Silly us, no plowing was done on that field, we were in skirts and we still had to hop the fence. As a mental picture, she’s tall, I’m short, skirts caught on the fence. Thankfully no one else skipped with us that day.
I feel like I’m ready to pass out, which means I need to stop looking at this computer screen and do something so I don’t pass out before Jen gets here. I did that to her one time. I felt horrible, but she understood.

Becky the Small Business Owner
I forgot my phone at home and I have a little while before I can go it, but I found wi-fi so I figured I would write a blog since I had my computer on me.
I’m proud to announce that I am starting my own business!!! Photography, Videography and Social Networking Services, but more of a focus on the first of the two. Though I still don’t have a name, so I’m at a roadblock there, but that is small potatoes compared to the things that could go wrong. I’m not focusing on that at the moment, it’s mostly thinking about classes I need to take and licenses I need to get. If there are any small business owners that have any tips, please do let me know what you know. If you have any suggestions for names, I’ll always accept help there.
I look forward to the day I can hire an accountant as well. I really hate numbers! The only numbers I like are 1-75 on a bunch of bingo cards. I’ll deal and adapt, I’ll have to.
If you could start you own business from the ground up, what would it be? If you’re already a business owner, what do you do? Leave a comment below.
Anthony Anguish
Anyone else getting obsessive over the murder of Kaylee Anthony? With all the different stories going around it’s hard to catch up if you’re not following it day in and out. It’s a mystery that will likely never be solved but we strive as a country to understand. My computer is constantly on HLN’s website. I’m starting to think this sexual abuse to Casey is right as well. Perhaps that George Anthony is part of the equation some how isn’t a far fetched idea either. If the police department really did know about the body’s location ahead of time, I will find it almost impossible to think otherwise.
There’s so much evidence now, but the defense is chipping it’s way down through the pile and getting things thrown out. In some ways it makes me hate law just because of the technicalities.
What are your thoughts on the case and all the evidence? Leave a comment.
