Feel Forever Young
Posted in
Unspecified
I'm on the verge of turning the big 4-0. I remember when I was in high school, I thought I'd be dead before I turned 40, or at the very least, I'd be too old to enjoy life anymore. But, now that I'm looking 40 in the face, I can tell you that I was totally wrong. Turning 40 isn't all that bad. I'm still in an upright position, I'm not holding conversations with inanimate objects, and I still enjoy life to the fullest. Why? Because I refuse to grow up.
Just because you get older, doesn't mean you have to stop living the good life. Now, that doesn't mean you can still go out and do all the stupid stuff you did when you were a kid. It does mean that you can get the most out of your daily life. Life is what you make of it. If you look at life through the eyes of an old person, that's what you're going to be. But, if you see the world with youthful vigor, you get to feel young forever. It's all a matter of perception. The old adage "your only as old as you feel" has a lot of truth to it. If you feel old, you will be old. If you feel like a kid, you get to be a kid.
Of course, you still have to keep up on all the adult stuff, but you can still enjoy life. If you let the stresses of everyday life get you down, you might as well start throwing dirt in your face. But, if you find a way to get past the stress, you will find that happiness will keep you feeling young and will lift your spirit. Just because you get older doesn't mean it's all over. It's up to you to keep yourself feeling forever young.

I do my dance of joy
Posted in
Unspecified
I'm both excited and bummed. As of tomorrow, both of my kids will be leaving for a whole week. The boy, who's almost 18, is going to spend a week with his aunt. She needs some work done around her house and said if he'd come help, she'd pay him for it. Personally, I think it's just an excuse to spend some time with the kid as this is his last year in school. He's planning on joining the Navy after high school and he is this aunt's favorite kid. If you ask her, she'll tell you that she doesn't play favorites, but she does. But it's ok, because there is another aunt who favors my daughter, so it evens out.
As for my daughter, she's heading off to summer camp. She'll be gone from home for a full week. The bad part is that it's hard for me to watch my baby leave home, the good part is that camp is only about 20 miles away and I know exactly where she's at. I'm pretty excited to have some peace and quiet for a week. Knowing my husband, he'll go fishing the first chance he gets. K, bye, have fun. Catch a big one. Whoo Hooooo, the whole house to myself. I'll love it for awhile, but it won't take long for the overbearing quiet to set in. I'll need loud noises, arguments, whining, people begging for money. Oh what to do???? Daytime Television!!!!!! Problem solved.
Keep an eye on this blog over the next week. I promise that any weirdness that comes along will be passed on to all of you. After all, I wouldn't dare keep all this to myself. :)

Welcome to the Funny Farm

You know, with all the things I do in a day, you wouldn't believe that I've got any time left to start another blog, but I'm going to anyway. Why? Because I can. Ok, so you're probably wondering who this crazy lady is that has just popped up out of nowhere. Well, allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Christine, and I'm a freelance writer. I've been writing forever, well since I was 10 anyway. I run several other blogs, most of which are for other writers. I offer writing prompts on one site, and tips on creative writing on another. You can find those links over there on the side, so I won't clog up my first post with a bunch of links.
I also spend a lot of time writing short stories, poetry, and informative articles on everything from vacation sites to historical information to the history of cellulite. It's not pretty, but what the heck. I've written one e-book on writing prompts, and I'm working on a second one. I'm hoping to have it ready by Christmas, but that's what I said last year. On top of all that, I also write for other bloggers. I do guest posts on a few other sites, and sometimes get paid for it. However, I've been known to do it just because someone asked me nicely.
On top of all that, I'm a wife and a mom. I've been married for 18 years to a guy who thinks I'm a nut job for spending so much time in front of the computer. But, he's a great guy and has come to terms with it. I have two teenagers that are into just about everything. My son is just about to make Eagle Scout in Boy Scouts, is a wrestler, and is into weight lifting. My daughter is a cheerleader and joins every choir competition that comes along. Between the two of them, I'm exhausted.
In the coming days and weeks, I'm hoping to post some useful information here, as well as a little of my own weirdness. If you spend anytime reading this blog, you'll find out why it is that I say to you all, Welcome To The Funny Farm.
