The Happenings

Here we are at the 2nd Monday in July and I am back over here , in my little corner of the internet.

Not a lot has happened, but I will catch you up anyway.

4th of July was a  fun filled weekend, even though I did have to work on the 3rd.  My little community had fireworks on July 1st and I had some people over to enjoy them from my deck.  On the 3rd, I headed to a friend's house and we walked to her neighbor's to watch fireworks from his deck.  The 4th was spent at a friend's dock, enjoying a couple of beers and the company of good friends.  It was a calm and peaceful 4th.

Cheer season is starting up and I find myself in quite a conundrum.  I am not happy or excited for the season to start and I am starting to be thankful that I don't have kids, because subjecting them to youth sports and the political bs on the side is insane.  I have to give props to parents who keep the bs out of their kid's lives and their own.  I have to remind myself that I have no dog in this fight and I can walk away from it, without repercussions.

I started a venture with It Works as a Distributor.  After years of being a Loyal Customer I came to the conclusion that it was time to get a little something more out of the company I had been buying products from.  I promise to share my favorite products with y'all over the next couple of weeks.

I also have become addicted to "Jane The Virgin" on Netflix.  I. CAN'T. STOP. WATCHING!  It is so all over the place and crazy, but in a good way.  Plus it has filled the void since I have been dying without new episodes of GOT.

That is about all I have got for now.  Hopefully you're all happy to see me back around these parts!

Be A Boss Lady

Everywhere you turn there is something or someone telling women to be a "boss lady".  While most would think of a "boss lady" in terms of the working world; the truth is being a "boss lady" is a full time, all day every day status that women who own their lives get to flaunt.

Being a "boss lady" means:

Making and keeping doctor and dentist appointments.  No one else is going to make sure you are going when you're supposed to, this is on you.  Own your health.

Busting ass at your passions and work.  Maybe they are one and the same, maybe they are not.  If you want to rise above, get out there and bust your ass.  There are no silver platters around these parts, just the gold you worked hard for and earned.

Playing your own leading lady.  You want the guy, go for it.  That doesn't mean you'll get him, but it'll alleviate any regrets later in life.  Be in charge of your own love life.  If you need a match maker or Tinder to get there, do it.  Do not be ashamed of looking for love.  Or if you're looking for that hook up- just do it.  You don't owe answers to anyone, but yourself.  Just be safe and make sure he is single.

Creating a retirement plan.  This may seem eons away, but it will sneak up on you and you don't want to be the person who is solely dependent upon Social Security... Especially considering the Republican party wants to do away with Social Security.  Own your finances, make investments, pay attention to statements.  Set yourself up for retirement success.

We all have a set of rules we play by, just make sure yours are taking care of you and business at the same time and not catering to the ideals of society.
