    Blogging Challenge… Day 9

    9. What are your worst habits? I procrastinate. A lot. If I can put something off, I will do so as long as possible. This is not made easier by the fact that my short term memory is becoming worse by the minute. So I’ll think of something I need to do, then minutes later forget what that thing was. So I end up putting it off even longer because I procrastinate on doing it, then forget I was supposed to in the first place.

    Blogging Challenge… Day 8

    8. What’s in your handbag? Oh we don’t really want to go through this now do we? My purse is a huge mess at the moment. Because I’ve been staying with my mom I basically threw a bunch of the things I would need while I was here into my purse. I’m actually back home right now. I drove back last night so that I could spend a few nights sleeping on a bed instead of reclining horribly on a sofa. My feet/ankles are swollen from the way I’ve been sleeping so I needed to sleep on a bed to bring the size back down. I’m going back to my…

    Blogging Challenge… Day 7

    7. Your pet hates I’m not sure if it is asking what my pet hates or what I hate about pets or hate about having pets. I currently don’t have any pets of my own, so I can’t talk about current situations. I used to have an African Dwarf Frog and 2 cats. Had no issues with them at all. The frog stayed in her tank all the time and the cats were my babies. I also had a dog growing up. I remember wanting a puppy that would play fetch and instead we got a 2 year old dog that didn’t play fetch, do tricks, etc. I still loved…

Your 5 senses right now touch: keyboard on my laptop sight: my laptop, the tv (watching last night’s Dancing with the Stars) and my mom’s living room taste: nothing smell: nothing hearing: just the fan running (we’ve got the show paused right now while my mom get’s something from the other room).

    Blogging Challenge… Day 2

    I’ve lived in 4 states and moved a total of 14 times in my life. I have ancestors from Russia, Poland, Ireland, Sweden and England. I started working on my family tree in April of 2012 and have found genealogy to be really interesting. It fascinates me to know the address, occupation, etc of long ago ancestors. I got to take an AncestryDNA test in April and the results showed that I have 100% European ethnicity. Thanks to House Party for accepting me as a host for the AncestryDNA House Party happening in June. I’m the oldest of 4. I have a younger brother, sister and step-brother. I played the…

    Blogging Challenge… Day 1

    1. Introduction and recent photo I’m Julie, less than a month from turning 35 years old, and living in Manteca, California. I’m single, I don’t have any kids, I’m unemployed and disabled. How fun is my life? I love music. I’m a tv & movie junkie. I need coffee in my life. I am more crafty in my head than I actually am. Meaning I will wake up some mornings knowing that I dreamed of crafting wreaths for my front door or toys for babies and don’t actually do any of that. Or that if I did, the finished product would look nowhere as good as it did in my…
