Tinder...

So I downloaded the Tinder app because I wanted to see what the hype was about with the swiping. It is a pretty cool app. You can meet guys on there and I think its cool that you only talk to people that you match up with. So if someone likes me and I like them then we are matched together and can send each other messages. I have matched up with quite a few people but the problem seems to be that none of the guys can hold a conversation. Some guys I have started talking to and then they just stop talking. I tried to keep it going but never hear back from them. I didn't think it would be that hard to find one interesting guy to keep a conversation going with. I have been trying to look for older guys. My age range is 30-41. I noticed its a lot of guys who are in the army on there. I'm not saying I need to find me a boyfriend on there but at least someone just to chat with.

The big 3-0...

On Sunday, I turned 30. I still can't believe I am 30 years old. I didn't really celebrate although it would have been nice to be able to. One of the sucky things about not having a significant other or a lot of friends. Its kind of depressing. I just hope that I can reach my goal with hopefully by the time I am 35 I will be married and ready to have another baby. I have less than 5 years to reach my goal and I hope to be able to accomplish it but since it seems like I have a hard time meeting guys we'll see if it can actually happen.

Volunteering...

Well I am trying my best to do as much volunteering as I can. I am in a club at school where we volunteer and so far we had one volunteering event that I went to. It was pretty cool. I skipped the last one we had because just didn't feel like going and it felt weird because it seemed like the people who were going all knew each other and of course I don't know anyone. Definitely one of the biggest regrets I have is not being able to spend more time on campus. Now I do not know if I am going to be doing anymore volunteering with the club. I will probably go back to volunteering on my own and I plan on volunteering a couple of times at the pantry on campus as soon as I sign up. They still have a few slots open so I can volunteer a couple times before the semester is over since I think it is only open during the school year.

Birthdays...

My daughter just turned the big 5 on the 13th and I had a party for her on the 12th. It was pretty cool to be able to throw a party and have people come out for it. It kind of bugged me that I passed out almost 40 invitations to the kids at her school and only a few of them showed up. That was so mind boggling to me. Its not like I didn't pass it out in enough time for people to RSVP. It was still a nice turn out regardless. Now my birthday is coming up in a week and I will be turning 30. I can't believe I am officially turning 30 in a week. It just sucks because I know I don't plan on doing anything or celebrating. Too bad I don't have a special guy in my life to celebrate with but I'm sure my time will come one day for a guy to be n my life.

Need a new plan...

I haven't posted in over a month and I know I have a lot on my mind so this will be the first post of a couple. I am back to searching for a new plan to lose weight. The nutrisystem plan that I was planning on doing didn't work out like I wanted. I read some of the reviews on the QVC website and it kind of scared me off of spending all the money on the food if it wasn't going to be good. I am still trying to do research and figure out what I need to do. I know I want to get exercise dvds and use them and the only way I can do it is if I get up super early in the morning so that I have time and I need to buy a new dvd player because the one I have doesn't have a remote so its hard to go to pick another selection without it and I don't want to buy a remote and risk it not working. The next thing I need to figure out is the food. I want to try to eat healthier so I need to figure out what foods I can get. I'm kind of thinking about getting a George Foreman grill too. I guess we'll see what happens. I do like seeing other people inspiring and showing their weight loss journey because it lets you know if you are dedicated enough it is possible to get healthy and lose the weight.

Marriage goals...

I always wonder when the guy that I am suppose to spend the rest of my life with will come into my life. I have been single going on 4 years. Its a part me that's fine with it since its been so long but its another part of me that wishes I didn't have to be alone all the time. There's so many people I know that are in relationships and are married and I can't even get a boyfriend. I am no where near the point of talking about marrying someone. It kind of sucks. I will be turning 30 this year and I am hoping that in the next year or two the guy I am suppose to marry will pop up in my life and I can be married by the time I am 35. I still want to have at least 2 more kids and I would like to be married when I do. All I can do is wait for it to be my time and I'm sure GOD will send a guy one day. I think it will be nice to finally get married and have a complete family.

Tough semester...

So far I am trying to make it through this semester. I don't think I'm doing too bad but I think I was doing a lot better last semester. I had to drop a class because I felt like I couldn't keep up with it and there was too much reading and it was definitely hard to keep up. It made me realize I can do four classes but five classes is too much. I am just hoping I can make it through this semester and pass my classes with at least a C. I joined a club in my department called the Community Service Club. I'm glad I was able to find a way to get involved on campus which was a goal of mines and also to be able to do community service and volunteering opportunities. I was able to volunteer yesterday and it was pretty cool. Its nice to be able to go out and help people. I can't wait for the next opportunity and who knows maybe their will be more people to come and help since it was only 5 of us.
