Weight Loss Supplements

Posted under Piggy Bank

She sighed, and stared out the window. She could start work on the advertising for the weight loss supplements, but in truth her heart was not in it.

Her mind was consumed by the kids today. Spending time with their friends seemed to be a type of obession with them. They never wanted to stay home with her. Oh it was alright if they were going somewhere special, but they never wanted to be just at home, doing regular stuff. She didn’t quite know what to do. She didn’t want to take them away from their friends, and yet she wanted them to see that family was important, even when you didn’t do anything special.

Coogi Clothing

Posted under Piggy Bank

The sales advertisements for coogi clothing had finally been finished and sent to the printers. Now she could sit back and relax for awhile. The thought of taking some time off and doing something fun with the kids crossed her mind. The only problem is that the kids seemed quite happy spending time at their friends’ house, and seemed to resent any time that she wanted to spend time as a family.

She didn’t mind them having friends, going to their houses to play, or having friends over at their house, but there were times when she wanted it to be just her and the kids.

Busy Busy

Posted under Family News

Things have been so busy lately that I’ve lost track of time. I got an email last night from one of the companies that I do my book reviews through, and it reminded me that I didn’t remember signing up for November books. So I sent the director an email asking if I had missed the email, or what, and she said “yep, sign up was four weeks ago”…Opps, guess I’ll be taking November off from most of my book reviews. Not that it particularly hurts my feelings, because I’ve had so much going on that it’s been hard for me to keep up with everything. So some extra time off will be great.

I think I’m about done working at the project as well. I’ll be sad to see the extra money end, but that was taking up a huge amount of time. Maybe I can get my house back in order now, and keep it that way, even if I do pick up some more extra work.

Online work has kept me hopping as well. But I’m not complaining!! There are lots of things that I can use the money for!!!

Outer Banks Homes

Posted under Piggy Bank

Have you looked at the Outer Banks homes? They are incredible! Not something I ever see happening, but then I could be wrong!!

There are a lot of things I never imagined happening, that have happened. I never thought I would be content being single, but I am. I never thought I would be living long-term with Dad, and I am. I never thought I would move far away from my family, but I did. And for awhile, I never thought I would make it back to living close to my family, but again, I did. So maybe a vacation in one of the Outer Banks homes will happen as well.

Chin Acne

Posted under Piggy Bank

I can’t recall ever having chin acne, everything I remember was on my forehead, and that wasn’t much at all.

One of my cousins though, I remember him having much more severe acne. I think part of that was because he wasn’t the best on personal hygiene, but part of it could have been an honest case of “nothing I do helps”…

I do hope the girls are like I was.

Shampoo For Thinning Hair

Posted under Piggy Bank

Somehow I don’t think Meg will ever need shampoo for thinning hair. *LOL* She has such thick, beautiful hair it’s hard to imagine it ever being thin!!

Des is not at a loss for hair either, although her’s isn’t as thick as Megan’s. Her hair is kind of thin on one side right now, because she used to play with it a lot too. However she is learning to break that habit, with some gentle, and sometimes not so gentle reminders.

Acne Treatment

Posted under Piggy Bank

Just what kind of an ad campaign could she do for acne treatment? It seemed to her that she had done this same thing a hundred times before, and yet they wanted something fresh and new.

She sighed and looked out the window. She was daydreaming of escaping up to her mountain, to hike, enjoy the solitude and peace she found there, but it was only a daydream, something that she couldn’t think about doing right now.

Baby Gift Ideas

Posted under Piggy Bank

I suppose I should start thinking about baby gift ideas. Someone I know is having a baby in February. I’m happy for them, and yet it hurts in a way too. You see, I have always wanted another baby….just one more, but that seems unlikely for me….Logically speaking it would be silly for me to have another child, but that doesn’t change the longing of my heart!!

Phentermine

Posted under Piggy Bank

She had just finished the reviews and advertising campaign for the phentermine account. Now she just had to finish up the hundred other accounts that she had piled and waiting on her desk.

She was less than enthusiastic about the idea. She wanted, needed some time off, but she knew things were just too busy right now to even consider taking time off.

Diet Pills That Work

Posted under Piggy Bank

Surely there are some diet pills that work, without horrible side effects, but I don’t know which ones they are, and really I’m not interested in knowing. My views on diet pills may be all wrong, but it seems to me that it’s quite likely after you stop taking the diet pills, that you would gain the weight back again, and I’m not interested in being tied to pills the rest of my life to make sure that I stay skinny.
