Without any further interruption here are my responses to this weeks prompts!

I could spend all day... This is soo easy, either sleeping, or watching the million shows I have saved on my dvr on a regular basis.  I do not know what I would do without my cable tv or dvr.. How sad is that. I really try not to think of a time before dvr... Honestly I would probably still be recording stuff on VHS.. lol.. I use to do that a lot as a kid.  My tv shows are like an escape, so its how I usually spend my days off, catching up on my recorded shows!

My primary and most essential goal in life... Is to be a Mom.  I mean I want to go back to school and be a Cosmetologist, but I know I was meant to be a Mom.  I love kids, and I am good with them, and I have such baby fever its ridiculous.  I know that when the time is right for me I will have kids, and when that happens I know I will feel so fulfilled and happy.  Someone to love unconditionally and take care of.  I know it's going to be hard, but living at home and helping my parents out with all their kids/foster kids, I am getting a lot of practice in.   So in order to reach this goal I am going to get myself healthy, and get finances in order.  I don't care if I have a man or not at this point, I will try and have a baby myself if I have to and the timing is right.  And if the man comes along, then great.  But to me I don't see it as a major roadblock because there are obviously ways to have a baby without an actual man.  I cannot wait to be a Mom someday.  

You might be surprised to learn...  I was actually four weeks premature when I was born.  I was always a planned C-Section baby because my Mom had an ovary removed because of a tumor when she was in her early 20's, so she was always high risk and what not.  But for some reason, that I don't think I have ever heard, and in writing this it just occurred to me that I never asked why, I came 4 weeks early, still by C-Section.  Due to being premature, my lungs were under-developed and I had to be put in an incubator for a day or two, and I am assuming put on steroids to help build my lungs up.  Turns out I bounce back quickly and I have been a survivor since birth because I was ready to go home before my Mom was, because she was still recovering from the C-Section and that timing took longer back in the 80's.. 

My favorite place in the world is... The city that I was born and spent the first 14 years of my life in.  It is the place I will forever call home, no matter where I live..  Northridge, California.  My best friend(s) and 2nd family live there, and I also have actual relatives that still live in SoCal.  Whenever I visit it just feels right, and I never want to leave.  My endgame is to live there and grow old there. Raise my kids there.  To outsiders it is nothing special.  It is just a suburb of Los Angeles.  But to me, like I said, it will always be Home.  I just feel at peace when I am there, plus I know where everything is!!  

I wish I had known sooner... That my now ex-husband was a cheating scum-bag.  He gave off the illusion of a nice guy, but he was anything but in the end.  I felt like our whole relationship/marriage was a lie at this point, so I am glad that we are no longer together and I am not part of the sinkhole that is his life.  I am now moving on to bigger and better things, including blogging.. But I still wish I would have known sooner, so it could have saved me the trouble of getting married to the wrong person and having to go through the feelings and emotions of being cheated on and going through a divorce.  

Thanks again for stopping by the blog, & continue to come back each week for another round of Finish This! as well as any other posts I publish to the blog!! But I digress...

Without further interruption, here are my responses to this weeks prompts!

The best compliment I ever received... I work in customer service and retail, and I am really good at it so whenever a customer thanks me and says I am so helpful and that I made their day.. That is the highest compliment for me.  It means I made a difference. And thats all I ever want.. Is for people to he happy around me.. That I am making people happy  and being helpful. 

Wearing red lipstick makes me feel… im more of a chapstick kind of girl. I seriously cannot name a time in at least ten years that I wore lipstick  let alone red.. I dont know if I am a red lips kind of girl anyway. And im pretry sure even on my wedding day I did a chapstick lip gloss combo haha! 

The best investment I’ve made... This is gonna sound so vain.. But my hair extentions that I got over a year ago from Sallys Beauty Supply. They were about 100 bucks, but when I bought them I had shorter hair and as soon as I clipped them in I just had this boost of confidence that no value of money can replace. I just transformed when the hair pieces were in. It was crazy, and I just remember having the biggest smile on my face and feeling so beautiful.. Now I have long hair so I dont need them except to volumize my hair, but knowing me, I am definitely gonna put them to good use again the second I cut my hair.. 

My best childhood memory.. I have a lot of amazing childhood memories.. I had a great life and great childhood up until I turned like 9 or 10.. Then alot of stuff happened.. Long story.. Life story lol.. But one memory that stands out is when me and a couple friends were asked to model clothes in a new store opening in the mall in our neighborhood.  That store was Limited Too.  We got to pick out different clothes and make outfits and be live models in the window and everyone walking by got to see us smile and ham it up from the passer bys..  Afterwards we got to each pick out an outfit for free to take home with us! I thought the whole thing was just the coolest back then.. Like serious hot stuff at like seven years old lol.. Like im so cool lol. 

Thanks for stopping by once again,  and come back again next week for another round of Finish This!! 

But now its your turn!! Post your Finish This on your own blog and link it up with all of us!! But dont fret, if you dont have a blog to post on just comment below with your responses.. 

Peace & Love

Finish This #6

Welcome back to my 6th week here at the blog of the link-up Finish This!! I am a little late on writing/posting this blog post, so sorry for my tardiness.  If you follow my blog, you have seen the few posts.. It has been a big/hectic week. And to continue it tomorrow is my sisters birthday!

 If you are a returning reader, welcome back and thanks for coming back week after week to read the blog!  If you are new around here,  I joined a blog link up that four amazing ladies host- called, you guessed it "Finish This".  They provide the prompts and we finish those prompts with our responses and then add it to the link up for others to read and respond.  It is a fun game where all of us bloggers can "link up" and learn more about each other, find common interests, etc, in a fun and creative way!

This Weeks Prompts: 

The best mistake I ever made... As weird as it sounds marrying my first and only boyfriend.  Because of what has happened (we are now divorced).  When we were just boyfriend and girlfriend, there were a lot of people in my world that were totally against the relationship, and even more so when we got engaged and then married.  I would not listen to them, believe them, give any of them the light of day, because at the time I was happy, and thought everything was "perfect".  

From this mistake, I learned... I have now learned to really take peoples advice, because the people dishing out said advice, has my best interest at heart, and probably would have saved me from heartbreak.  But also getting married young, and it not working out, I have learned that I definitely do deserve better.  I thought he was the best I could do.  I loved him, do not get me wrong.  I did not marry him with any bad intentions, feelings, concerns, or for the wrong reasons at all.  But I know I deserve a real man who will take care of me and provide for me and our family one day.  Because of my lack of dating experience I did not know that I should have been treated even better, even when we were dating.  So now I can take all that has happened in the past six years of being with that one guy through dating, engagement, marriage, and now divorce, into my next relationship.  To do it better, and to really be more selective, because like I said, I DO deserve better, and better is out there waiting for me!

When I'm anxious, I tell myself... In theory, I tell myself to count down from 10 and to just breathe in and breathe out in hopes that will work, but honestly.. I am awful at talking myself down.  I have been diagnosed with anxiety disorder, and even with medications, at times I have a hard time controlling my anxiety.  I have even gotten rushed to the hospital because I could not get out of my anxiety attack.  So if it is bad, I usually call my Mom or my best friend Jennifer though to try and talk me down.  My Mom is good at being there if part of anxiety is causing me to have a good cry and she gets to me stop somehow, and my best friend is good for giving me advice on whatever is causing me all the anxiety.. and you know what she is usually right and makes me feel better!  I don't know what I would do without either of them!

 

All I really want to do is... I have goals for sure, so if that is what this is asking here they are.  I have a lot of medical debt because of my numerous medical issues in the past few years, and couple that with some credit card debt that I need to get rid of from my irresponsible teenage years, I unfortunately have to file for Bankruptcy.  Once that stress is off my shoulders I want to start the process to do the Gastric Bypass surgery, and once I am healthy enough and can afford it I want to go to Cosmetology School and end up working in a salon doing hair.  I actually already dye my own hair as well my sister and my Moms, and I do not have any formal training, but I would love to learn all the ins and outs.  So either do that full time or have it as a side job and be a stay-at-home Mom, because I really want to be a Mom.  I have an amazing one, and I want to be just like her!  All I ever want to do is make people happy.  I always do for others, and then circle back to myself last, which has its pros and its cons, but I am giver, and I just want to make sure those I love and care for are happy and taken care of.  Obviously all I really want is to be happy and make others happy, so if I succeed in that over the course of my life, that my life was worth living and it was a success! 

(Can I just say, these prompts were the hardest for me to answer since I started participating in this blog link up.. did anyone else have like serious writers block when it came to answering these?)

Now its your turn!  Don't have a blog?, don't fret.. just answer the prompts in the comments section below!!  Then come back next week for another round of Finish This!!! Hopefully I won't be sooo tardy with next weeks post!  

Here are the prompts for next week (June 4) if you are following along and posting your responses! 

I conquer fear...

I follow my heart...

I feed my soul by...

I used to worry about ____ but then I...
