                                        Here are my responses to this weeks prompts!!! 

 I have a quarter to use a pay phone, I call ….  Lets be real here, when was the last time you used a pay phone.  I mean I have not even seen one in years.. There use to be one right outside my work and it broke, so then they finally just took it out instead of replacing it. I mean having to make a phone call.. isn't that what cell phones are for? lol.. but If I did come across a pay phone and had to make a call, I would most likely call my Mom, because if I was in such dire straights, she would be who I would want to help me out, regardless of the circumstances.  

I found $25 in my pocket, I buy …  hmmm. that is a toughy.. I never buy myself anything special, so I most likely would buy me groceries, or use to it buy me lunch over a few days at work.. and Starbucks!! Cannot go a day without some sort of coffee lol, especially if I am opening at work.. If it is going to be a long day at work and I have to deal with dumb people, because I usually get at least one stupid ass customer a shift, I most definitely need my caffeine fix! 

I have 25 minutes to watch anything on TV, I turn on …  Anything saved on my DVR, which ranges from the trashy reality t.v shows, to sitcoms, and dramas.  It really just depends on what type of mood I am in.  If I am not in the mood to watch anything I have DVR'ed then I usually land on either Will & Grace, CSI Miami, Criminal Minds, Family Feud, Rosanne, or Law & Order: SVU.. because those shows are always on marathons.. 

A meal I can prepare, from start to finish. in 25 minutes or less is … I am definitely no cook, by any means, but I can scramble eggs pretty good, and I love melting cheese and sometimes even mixing in some salsa.. It is a concoction I learned to make from my Dad and it is pretty yummy.  Sometimes I add a little salt in and sometimes I don't.  

At the age of 25, I wish had known … I am 25 now.  So I guess I wish I would have known a few years ago that at age 25 I would be divorced.. I mean I never would regret my marriage, because I was in love and thought it was forever, but maybe me and him could have changed things together that maybe would have changed the outcome and I would not be in the position I am in today.. Maybe not? who knows.. 

If I drove 25 miles (direction) from my house, I’d be in .. Still in Vegas haha.. I would most like be down at the Vegas Strip..

Finish This #9

Welcome to week 24, but my week 9 of the blogging community link up "Finish This" co-hosted by four awesome ladies!!! If you are new around here, let me quickly explain to you how this works... Each week they (the co-hosts) provide the prompts and we literally finish the sentence with our responses. If you are not new around here, than I am glad to welcome you back again as well. I am excited you have liked what you have read once again and have come back for more!

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...

Now it is your turn!! Post your Finish This on your own blog and link it up with all of us!! If you do not have a blog to post to, just comment below with your responses! I am always curious as to what my readers responses would be to same prompts!

So I guess I lied.  About what you ask?? Well... last week I had said I would not be sooo tardy with this post, but life got in the way...again, like it always seems to do.  Reasons being some work stress, but mostly because I got struck by a super bad case of the stomach flu, that I am still battling right now, in fact I have barely ate anything in days besides strawberry popsicles and 7up.  Im still very weak and still trying to re-regulate my body with all my medications and get back into trying to eat.  I have had no appetite for days.. So between this horrible Las Vegas Heat and the stomach flu, I am kind of miserable.  To top it off my computer is on the fritz.  Cooling fans, not working and what not so part of this post was written on my phone.  I thank the lord I have a tech savvy brother who is currently trying to fix my laptop. Fingers crossed..   

          So now that I am done rambling, here is what you actually came here to read about..

                               My Finish This Responses!

I conquer fear … I wish I could say by tackling it head on. But usually that is not the case.  Even though I know running away from fear is counter-productive and eventually you have to face what you are afraid of so why not sooner, rather than later. I honestly try not to venture out of my comfort zone, mostly because of all my anxieties, but when I do I find that having a buddy always helps especially when it is actually something actually scary. Like I am super afraid of heights and you could pay me to get on an airplane, but give me some good sedatives or even better have my best friend by my side and maybe just maybe.. But no promises.. I am not good at conquering my fears if you couldnt tell. 

I follow my heart … when I believe it is the right thing to do.  If I see a person in need I know in my heart it is the right thing to do to help them.  For example, one of my brothers friends got kicked out of his house about four years ago, and of course I was not going to let him go homeless, so I moved into my apartment with my husband and I got him a job at my work and got him a new cell phone plan through our work.  For awhile my, now ex-husband and I were paying for his food and what not as well.  His family was actually kind of sort of family friends, so I knew him before, but we were not like friends or anything. All these years that I have been helping him out, my parents have been very against it, because they felt I was being taken advantage of.  Which at times I was, but I have put boundaries on stuff, and our relationship is different now anyways.  Now we are friends and I pretty much see him as a brother.  He has been there through everything that happened with my ex-husband too, so he has seen me and my best and worst.  So when I needed help with paying some of my bills and what not after the split, he and my brother were both there to help.  Following my heart, in helping a soul in need, in the end, helped me as well!

I feed my soul by … watching over and playing with my soon be baby brother.  He is 9 months old, and once he is 10 months my parents can adopt him. Our faces light up when we see each other and he has a non jaded or cynical look at the world which is so hard to find in this crazy place. Just being in his prescence and watching him and smile and laugh and now learning to crawl and stand up and what not, I cannot help but just smile.. He is the light of my life right now, and it really fills my heart and soul with joy just hanging out with the little guy.  I think I was made to be a Mom, and that is why just being around the kids just feeds my soul.  It warms my heart! I just love kids!

I used to worry about ____ but then I … I use to worry about being alone, but then I realized, I will never actually be alone.  I have family and friends who love and care about me, and they would never actually leave me truly alone.  I know I always have someone I can call or text, and someone I can cry to, and people I can laugh with.  I think because I had lost a lot of family members at a young age and each of those deaths hit me pretty hard.  And then last year when me and my husband split, it was like grieving another loss, it gave me this complex that I was just meant to be alone, or that I was not worthy of having people around me on a consistent basis, or people that loved or cared about me in general.  I know that is not true.  Very skewed thinking for sure.  

Sunday, June 8th was National Best Friends Day as Well! Jennifer is my BFFL.. we have known each other for 21 years and still going strong. she is like a sister to me and constant in my life.. I am forever grateful for everything she has ever done for me and said to me that has helped me in so many ways.
