Have you heard of Craigslist? If not, you are WAY behind the times;)
I have DEFINITELY heard of Craigslist, I have been a Craigslist Junkie for about 5 years now. You're probably wondering what differentiates you from being a casual Craigslist customer, to a junkie - well here's how!
Craigslist Junkies...
1. Barely go a day without visiting the site for SOMETHING
2. Most of the time they go to the site with nothing particular in mind to look for, they just need their daily dose;)
3. Have found many jobs and been given job offers (my last 3 jobs were found this way - all good jobs too: Marketing Data Administrator, Implementation Specialist, and a Sales Tax Associate)
4. Gotten parts in movies/shows/modeling (like being and extra on Friday Night Lights, being in an indie horror movie...)
5. Looked for jobs overseas in Amsterdam, haha!! (I'm a dreamer, I know!)
6. Purchased all sort of things
7. Sold all sorts of things
8. Gotten free stuff like Christmas decorations, halloween costumes, moving boxes...
9. Forwarded sooooo many ads to friends and family that they've lost count! Sorry friends;)
...AND FINALLY...
10. Wishes they had a wife-beater with rhineston lettering across the front reading "Craigslist Junkie"
So...have you Craigslist-ed today?????
Sincerely,
~Craigslist Junkie!

OVER IT!
Have you ever used the expression "over it" when you're talking? It sort of works like a cuss word, you can squeeze it into many conversations!
For example;
1. Homework, urghhh! OVER IT!
2. Getting up early! OVER IT!
3. Excuse me, what did you say to me? OVER IT!
4. You're a mess! So what! OVER IT!
5. Damn, I'm full! OVER IT!
6. Frickin' traffic! OVER IT!
7. Damn, I forgot to shave, screw it! OVER IT!
8. I'm exhausted! OVER IT!
9. It's HOT! OVER IT!
10. It's COLD! OVER IT!
11. This radio station plays the same crap over and over! OVER IT!
12. Oh, that's your opinion, huh? OVER IT!
13. Creditors! OVER IT!
14. Rat Race...OVER IT!
15. Political Debates...OVER IT!
16. Obama...OVER IT!
17. Being broke. OVER IT!
18. Having a cell phone. OVER IT! (except for texts)
19. Analyzing. OVER IT!
20. Breathing dirt up my nose at ACL for an entire weekend. OVER IT!
Got any to add? Go for it! I'm sure you're OVER something.
Peace Out Peeps!

"FALLEN ANGEL"
I'm just a woman who desires and dreams
Pursuing that peace - so wonderful it seems
Moving through days, living in visions
Of what life could be like, if pursued as a mission
With a heart weighed heavy, and a mind spinning freely
This soul needs rebuilding, which in no way is easy!
There's wonder of a life, driven by destiny
In a moment of solitude, with just me.
When torn between heart and societal views
It's hard to choose the "right" thing to do
They say follow your heart and follow your mind
Which deems impossible when you're in this bind
There's logic and reason, enemies for certain
Battling for truth, behind the minds curtain
Will it be seen as failure or success?
I may never know, wow what a test!

Happy Birthday Dad! - October 5th, 2008!
I, again found the perfect card for my Dad, and it crossed my mind that I buy so many cards in a lifetime but once I send them off I forget what exactly they said inside (you know it was good - but can't remember).
So I've decided to post the wording of my Dad's birthday card this year! His birthday is Sunday October 5th - so here's to you Dad! This card says exactly what you deserve to hear!
(Cover)
Dear Dad,
On your birthday,
I'm thinking about you -
how much you mean to me
and all the ways
you've made such a wonderful difference
in my life...
(Inside Left)
Thank you
for letting me know
I could always count on you,
that you believe in me
and you'd stand by me,
no matter what.
Thank you
for encouraging me
the dreamer in me,
for loving me
through each and every
fad and phase,
and for accepting my ideas
when they were different
from your own...
(Right inside)
Thank you
for having faith
during the times
when I had to do it on my own,
and for being there
when things didn't work out
exactly how I thought they would.
Thank you
for all that you are -
my wonderful, wise, and loving father.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY with LOVE
Love you Dad! Happy Birthday - see you in May!

Dust, Delirium and Dinero! ACL Fest 2008!
WOW - what a weekend!!
Have you ever been to the Austin City Limits Music Festival (ACL for short)? No? Well you should definitely experience it at least once - this year was my first experience. Although I attending this weekend jam session, I did it in a less traditional way - I worked a beer booth - whew - what a weekend!
Initially me and four other girls were planning to attend the ACL Fest but then our plans had changed for unexpected reasons. At about that same time a co-worker mentioned that she worked for ACL last year and made good money in just those three days. I ignored the opportunity at first, then thought, "why not, I could at least email them and see if they need anyone".
So I did. The response was "Sorry our tent is full". Bummer.
Then a few hours later I get another email, "are you still interested"? I'm like hell yea! $600-$800 for one weekend, I'll take it!!
But, shit, it's Thursday and I'm not even TABC (Texas Alcohol and Beverage Commission) certified and work starts tomorrow!
While debating on how to make this work I tell a friend and BAM she's interested too. So we both start the online TABC certification at abot 7:30pm and don't finish until 11:30pm Thursday night, then have to go pick up our packets and drop off our certificate.
We're finally official at 1am on Friday morning...HOLY CRAP, we already feel like we were working hard...haha!
Then we kick off the weekend at ACL!
The beer-slingin' begins!! So much beer-slingin' the first day there wasn't time to eat more than a package of peanutbutter crackers and a granola bar ALL day!
By the end of the day your pant bottoms and shoes are covered in mud, you've got so much dust up your nose that you're making soil, and probably almost growing a small garden or field of flowers inside.
Every morning when the gates open the AT&T stage plays a Star Wars type theme song and people actually run in (keep in mind this is a huge park and this stage is at the far end), holding chairs, bags, umbrellas, blankets, camping gear, etc...and they race for the front of the stage. It's hilarious! People running in actually make it funny by running in slow motion to the music like you're watching a race replay - it's great entertainment!
The last morning (Sunday) one of our tent beer-slingers decided he wanted to run in with the crowd, so he grabbed his bag, a chair from our tent, and LARGE garbage can with tons of empty ice bags inside, and threw a cowboy hat on that the wine company supplied us.
Then we all waiting to see him rush in with the others, racing them to the stage.
One fellow beer-slinger stood in the field waiting for him, and as he ran by we all screaming WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! An the guy waiting in the field throws water on him, all theatrical-like like we're watching Lance Armstrong cross the finish line in the Tour de France, haha!
Needless the say, the music was awesome. Our stage played some great acts (there are many stages) like Beck, Erykah Badu, Gnarls Barkley, and many more!
The last show of ACL was the FooFighters, which was near our tent, so you can imagine. Everyone in the entire park all crowd around the stage (and our tent) to see the last performance.
We're slinging so many beers at this point you're like a beer serving robot - "What can I get you, can I see your ID, sweet you're old enough, here you go" - then repeat again and again and again!
My friend and I spent an entire weekend living in delirium with fresh gardens growing in soil up our noses, covered in mud, with feet and calves aching beyond belief, and we still HAD A BLAST!!!
Definitely an experience! Plus, we were lucky to be making money while everyone else was blowing theirs - WOOHOO!!
If you ever get the opportunity to go to ACL, I promise it's worth it! Also, make sure you make it early at least one day so you can see everyone run to the front stage - it's too funny!!
