I LOST IT ALL SO YOU GET THE SHIT THAT'S LEFT

Ok, so I tried to "add gadget" as was suggested to me, and it said I first needed to upgrade, which would perhaps force me to give up my template momentarily, but that blogger would "save" it for me. Well, it did...for about 2 minutes.

I actually didn't TRUST blogger, so i copied it onto a word doc. Well, once I realized all my links were GONE, I tried to go back to my old template (which used BLOGROLLING) and it wouldn't let me, said there were missing ends or some shit. So, if I can't view the old way, I can't get my links. If I can't get my links, I can't repost them, and I STILL cannot seem to access them thru blogrolling.

So this, my friends, THIS- what you see here, is the shit that belongs to me. This crappy looking page with plain ole' nothings. It's bogus I tell you...but with any luck half of you will love me just the same?

Life has been both good and bad to me. I'm taking a stance with almost everything...people, life in general, and I'm making positive changes in myself. I'm paying off debt without making more, I'm getting a pre-approval for a mortgage so I can buy a house and become whole again ON MY OWN this time, not to worry about anyone pulling the rug up from under my feet because I put all my faith and love and trust into them. I go for my pre-approval tomorrow and then I'm taking off to Maine for the weekend on Friday night to see my dearest friend- Sissychong. Remember her? Yeah, I may just have to smuggle her back here a little earlier than expected- yes- she's moving back. Someday.

I miss her dearly and it'll be a fun weekend. I'm also back in school. I could not go to nursing school with a full time day job so I'm up in the air right now as to what I'll get my degree in, but I'm leaning towards criminal justice. There are a lot of fields I can go to other than being a cop- probation, parole, juvie. It sounds like I'll have my work cut out for me anyhow, just in a totally different way. All I can do is try and say I tried, right? Ideally I'd like to take something in the line of teaching, but I can't go into a school environment as part of my coursework because...yup, duh! I have a full time day job which will not allow, even though they are paying for school.

*sigh*

Anyhow, life is what you make of it. I'm not going to just stand by and let it pass. So, I am trying to buy a house and my credit is just perfect. I can only, however afford so much on my own...so this is the best time to buy. Not only are finance rates low, but houses on the market are cheap enough so that I can get something decent and still stay in my home town, and have room to expand my family at some point in the near future, and I have a good down payment from 401k with no penalties. I also am considered a first time home buyer again because it's been 3 years + since I sold my last house. I have a positive outlook and with the stimulus I will be able to get a tax credit of $8k as soon as I sign. Well that will certainly come in handy as I'm moving into my new place.

*smile*

That's all for now. I'm busy this week working on my mid-term paper, with mid-terms next wednesday already I'm halfway thru English Lit- yuk! But the teacher is kewl and it's the last of my general studies courses...then on to the fun stuff, whatever that may be.

Please, if anyone knows or can help with my layout so I can find my links again that would be greatly appreciated. All I can find in my template is the blogrolling code. Damn blogrolling sucks hairy donkey balls!

Peace and love! <3
