It’s already Tuesday and the week is flying by so far. I’ve been busy with a couple of projects and dealing with some other stuff too. In the end it’s always the best things that comes out of a difficult problem or a busy day. Always I have to  keep thinking positive  and the best will also come.

I had hoped to update the blog in a few weeks to say I would be moving into my new home, and start my new job but unfortunately with land issues, and this declining economy that dream came to an end in march. Everything was looking great until I got a call from the realtor to say you don’t want to build here, and I was like why. She said  the land was in a flood zone and others had complained about their foundation was moving due to really bad erosion. So after I found that out, then I found out that my potential job offer was no more as well too.  Plus I knew it was going to be hard to sell a home too, so I put off everything for now and kept looking toward the future. A lot has happened since march, good and bad. I have to look at it this way, Doors closes for a reason, but better opportunities or doors will open up at the right time.

Yes this year marks my 10th year of living on my own. I was just in my early 20s at the time and decided to finally leave my parents home. I still called their home “home” because my stuff was still there, but I was gone. I started in the middle of 99 staying off and on with a few friends, going to school(college), working, etc. and going “home” to visit for a couple of days. It was not until around early 2000 when I moved out for good. Meaning My stuff, and I were gone from my parents home for good. Then I would only go back “home” to be an overnight guest, go for dinner, or to just stop by to visit.

Wow,  lot has changed since those 10 years has passed too.  Just feels like yesterday actually. Time flies by so quick sometimes.

It’s been a year or so and I’m still continuing on with my healthy eating regiment. I’m trying to eat mostly all vegetarian  meals these days too. As most will remember I had to go back to eating some meat, due to not getting enough protein in my diet. Beans, Soy products, and supplements  were not working for me.

I try to eat any meals with meat as little as possible, though I wish I could find an alternative to get enough protein so I could be completely on a vegetarian diet.  I also eat mostly all organic or home grown fruits, and veggies these days too. I have to say I feel much better and have a lot of energy  too. I also do a lot of cooking at home these days too, rather than going out to eat, since it’s healthier for me to fix my favorite take out dishes. However, I still go out sometimes too hehehe. I also try to get to Places like Trader Joes, Earth Fare, or Whole foods to buy groceries and try my best to buy very little from our local chain stores.

I’ve also have switched from drinking 2 or three sodas a day to only  1 soda a day  with no caffeine. Plus I’m now Interested in drinking  different teas other than  regular “sweet tea”. Plus once in a while I  will have my fav coffee from Starbucks or the  Local place.   Which is a  White mocha or Vanilla Latte  or  White Mocha Frapp,( depends on my mood or season) that is a treat just once in a while or if I need the caffeine if I’m pulling an all nighter for work.

Plus I’m trying to be more active these days from riding my mountain bike to walking ever chance I get. All in all this  healthy living for me is making me feel a lot better than before. Now I wish I started this way of living a long time ago.

I have had a lot of friends throughout my life, but only a  few friends have really stood out.

After highschool my best friend of that time really encouraged me to continue with school and go to Community College. After graduating, I knew I could not be able to go to my favorite schools because of lack of funds and grades. I know the school I really wanted to get into was in Canada and at that time that school did not accept scholarships or financial aid from students who were applying from the US. Plus my parents were not too thrilled to send there 19 year old across the country to another state let alone to another country. Then the 4 year schools I really wanted to go  were too much or I would not got in because of my grades. I admit I was not the perfect A student. So that year after highschool My best friend really encouraged me to find something I would love to do and go to the local community college. Which I did and always appreciated  her advice, because without it I would not be where I am today.

Then later on life just two years ago I went through a terrible time with the“wreck” and my current best friend stepped-up as well as her family and just has helped me out so much. I really don’t know what I would have done without them. I had to move a whole house, go through my parents things, go to many dr. visits, and even prepare to bury my parents, which that in itself was a real challenge, but with their help I was able to get through it all and still mange to stay sane through all of it.

See that’s why friends are amazing people to have, because they will always go beyond the call of duty to help you out when you are in need or need encouragement.

This week has flown by fast. I hope to enjoy this weekend since  I’m starting new projects next week, that will consume my time for a few weeks. I will definitely  enjoy the time off. What to do? I really would love to head up to Asheville for Bele Chere or do something adventurous  like hiking,  but I may end up staying around town too.  There is a ton of things that I would love to do this weekend, but  just have to see what falls into place.

I use to be part of almost every social site that is currently popular today  like Facebook, Myspace, Virb, Vox, Twitter, etc.  In recent years I’ve scaled back a lot, since I really never used those sites anymore except for Twitter. Just recently I revived my Facebook account just because it has been the best way to keep in touch with close family and friends. I’m not over crazy using Facebook  like some are, I hardly even update it much at all. I’m mostly on Twitter, Im and blogging which is about it for my activity online these days. However, I do track my music via Last.fm and Pandora or my pictures with Flickr.

Most days I do a lot of work with Social Media, but it mostly for clients and business. These days, I’m on the computer  mostly for business doing web design/building, doing marketing, emailing, editing photos, drawing or tech support for  web/server admin.

On Saturday we returned home after a long weeks stay at the beach. Most of our trip we used using a golf cart as transportation, since were we stayed was like a community, and the mode transportation there  is golf carts or bikes, unless you actually venture out in MB.

We did a lot of walking with morning walks/jogs on the beach to walking in the evening at some of the shopping places in Myrtle.  All in all we had a great trip and had loads of fun. I’m very relaxed, and rested now, which I’m ready to attack the week.
