Sorry for being MIA...

Hi everyone,

Sorry for being MIA...my husband just left yesterday morning for training and we have been spending a lot of family time. Having quiet time with the girls, watching movies at home, cooking all their favorite meals, talking, even trying out a new restaurant which we are so in love with...lol

Well, for about a month I will be a single parent and taking care of everything. Right now, come tomorrow I will be driving to go and get the tires change to our winter tires cause the snow is coming like crazy and just today I was driving from my daughter's dental appointment and I swerved and almost went into a ditch. So I am not trusting my driving abilities until I get the winter tires on. Oh, I have all weather tires, but the winter tires makes a difference and I feel better driving with them on.

So I will try and make post everyday and really work on making this a habit and a daily task for me. I hope I can make this a success for myself and with that is JUST MY 2 CENTS!

I'm I a writer...

I read a blog that ask “Are you a writer?” and that made me think. Am I a writer because I blog now and what do you have to do to have that status to be called a “writer?”


This blog has gotten to me and made me think about that. Since I am starting to blog do I now call myself a writer? I mean every time I am done writing a blog post I hit the button that says PUBLISH! Does that mean or make me a writer?

Well, how would you define “writer?” From Wikipedia it means A writer is anyone who creates a written work, though the word usually designates those who write creatively or professionally, as well as those who have written in many different forms.

Now with reading that…I guess you can say I am writer, right? I haven’t published anything, besides a poem that was featured in a book of poems. But, I was a teenager at the time and I didn’t get paid for it. Just got published! But, will I call myself a writer? When I was a teenager, I have journals, short stories, and tons of poems. But, when I had kids I stopped and of course my priorities were taking care of my family and kids. So do I still call myself a writer after years not writing?

Now is writing a letter a form of being creative? The reason I ask this, is because I written tons of letters to my husband when he was at Basic Training and AIT, and many emails when he was deployed. Is that being on the creative side of writing? I mean I written and describe details of what our children were doing, especially our youngest who is 2 right now. All the things she was learning and doing. Is being descriptive on details mean or say that I am a “writer?”

Well, regardless if I am a writer or not, in my definition of a writer is being creative and imaginative and I don’t care if I am not publish or a best seller. I know that my letters that I wrote to my husband and my children will live on and kept in our family library and be read by my children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and so on. They will read the love, fear and struggle that their parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents had to do so their family will live on the way they do, and with that said “I AM A WRITER” and with that is JUST MY 2 CENTS!

Blog post is out of order...

It seems that my blog post got publish out of order and since I am new to this, I don't know how to fix it! LOL...Oh well I guess it is the way it is and I know it is not a big thing but I learned in blogging you have to be precised or something like that. Oh, well I guess it will have to stay that way until I know how to fix it, but that is fine...it's just me and JUST MY 2 CENTS! HA HA HA!!!

My September Challenge...

Well, it seems I didn't get to complete my September Challenge! I am shy of 3 blog post to make it a post everyday, but even though I had my 3 blog post ready. I wasn't feeling good to get up and do the posting. It seems that I am down or caught something and it is draining me. Not to mention all the working out that I am doing, my body is screaming for me to slow down.
Well, I didn't make it, but atleast I made a post almost everyday and still made it a point to blog. Now the question is, can or will I continue to make blog everyday? The answer is yes! I really enjoy blogging and even though I am not blogging about certain items or giving giveaways, I am enjoying blogging. It is like therapy to the soul and it helps to put my mind at ease.
So I will continue to blog for myself and if it gets big then it gets big, either way I enjoy blogging and that is JUST MY 2 CENTS!

Slacking here...

Okay, I know I said that I was way ahead on my blog challenge and now I did what I predicted that I was going to do. Since I was ahead by a couple of days, I got to comfortable about it and didn’t blog for I think 2 or 3 days. I am not keeping track on this because I don’t want to get to comfortable again. But, I am going to see this through to the end and going to make it 30 or more post for the month of September. I never quit and I like to see things to the end and that’s JUST MY 2 CENTS!

So Proud...

Oh my goodness, I just read all my blogs and I am caught up on my September Challenge and I think I am ahead on it by a day or two. I am not going to count because I don’t want to jinx myself and get to comfortable and might just miss a day because I am ahead. This challenge has me looking forward to blogging. I keep looking at topics that I want to blog or just write down what is on my mind or what is bothering me. So I sit proudly and I am looking forward to my blogging and I can truly say I love to “BLOG” and that is JUST MY 2 CENTS!

The September Challenge

I recently joined a challenge to blog everyday for the month of September & at the moment it is 10:21pm at night & I am running late on my first day of this challenge. I joined this challenge to challenge myself if blogging is something that I want to do.


So I know as of right now my thing I have to change in my trying to accomplish this challenge is to do this early in the day. Now with a 2 year old who wants to do everything and get into everything, now that is a bigger challenge for me. To see how I can sit for maybe an hour to type or work on ideas for my blog and have my 2 year old entertains. Now maybe it won't be so hard to do. I run a house, do the bills, run kids to & fro to wherever. So maybe I can do it, I am a woman right. Weren't we built to do many things & with that is Just My 2 Cents!

Just My 2 Cents on Blogging...

Okay, you know how this is just a start for me on blogging & how I kept pondering on should I blog or not? Well, I asked my fellow cyber friends who blog what is the best place to blog & how to start it off. A friend of mine who has 4 blogs (like WOW). I didn't start on one yet & she has 4. Talk about alot of thinking & alot of headaches. Just thinking on starting this one was a major headache for me LOL! Well, I went to the 2 sites that she mention & boy was I like WHAT? You can picture me sitting in front of the computer with a blank look & if it could happen a big ?QUESTION MARK? on the top of my head. It was alot to take in, not only do you have to write on topics you want to talk about. But you have to design, add widgets or buttons, upload a photo, which of course constant looking at the right photo to place so you look good & people will know who you are (talk about stress), & then to make sure it is readable before you publish it on the web. Wow, so much work! Towards the end, I was ready to throw in the towel & just say to the HELL of it. But, the perfectionist in me said "NOPE" going to finish it. Yes, I am perfectionist! Well, not that much! I just don't throw in the towel to easy! Well, it seem I didn't quit & I am on my 3rd post. Kind off getting the hand of it, well sort of! LOL!

Ok My First 2 Cents...

Okay, I am sitting here wondering what will be my first blog about & for the life of me I really don't know what to write. For someone who likes to give her 2 cents is speechless...lol I wonder if everyone goes thru this as they blog. I mean to be honest; my head is hurting trying to think of a subject to give my 2 cents. Before when blogging was just a thought, I had things that I wanted to blog about, but now its like "nothing," mind is blank, headaches, & now a neck ache. So I am going to give my mind a break & let’s hope something will inspire me to give JUST MY 2 CENTS!

Oh, if anyone does read this feel free to comment & give me an idea. Could use one!
