1* I was 15 and it was for a work experience program. They assigned me to a daycare at first but I only worked there for 3 days as I witnessed and reported abuse. My supervisors from the program felt bad about having placed me there so they allowed me to work directly in their office as an office clerk.
2* I‘ve been considering a freelance business and an Etsy shop.
3* Yes, it‘s possible but it takes some determination.

Temporary Work Station so I can do some work with the groups.... Need to listen to a book too since the past couple of days I haven't did any reading (been cuddling with my little guy and I pass out! Haha).

Teaser... planning an event for Fall!

I haven‘t been around Litsy much which saddens me. I‘ve still been plugging away at 1491 (I swear it will never end!). Things are good so far I like my job which for this intense introvert is weird. It‘s in retail and involves A LOT of customer interaction and talking and peopling and being polite LOL it‘s part time so that helps. my co-works are good and I get along with them. I have to work today but then I‘m going to finish 1491.

Avanders 👋Glad to hear you‘re enjoying the job! Happy to see you ☺️ And look forward to your review on 1491 😳😘 5y

(This post has nothing to do with the new HP AR game, but HAGRID WAS IN MY SHOWER).

My goals for round two of #BFC:
• Read three books per week
• Yoga every day*
• Run three days per week*

* I‘m at ALAAC through Tuesday next week, so my first week, I‘m giving myself a grace period because of all the walking I‘m doing.

Good luck, all! @wanderinglynn

By RuPaul
2010

Wit, Wisdom, Sass and fashion / beauty advice....something for everyone in this book.RuPaul brings out the style in all of us. The sarcasm mixed with his upbeat positive outlook make me love RuPaul.

So the season finale of Rupaul‘s Drag Race Season 10 was last night and my queen didn‘t win😭. I was impressed that Oprah and Dame Judy Dench sent messages of love. That even Stephen Colbert sent encouragement in an earlier episode. RuPaul, ever political, sent messages of acceptance and love and to vote. I have read the book, it‘s great for self esteem but half was about drag beauty secrets which is not for me. The picture of Janet? 👇🏼

Reggie 2 of the queens had to lip synch to her song If. Which brought back memories of a 14 year old Reggie who used to dance battle other kids at church dances back in the day to that exact song. Lol have a good one Littens!! 6y
DivineDiana I need to catch up on the show!!! Went to a live RuPaul Drag Race Show last summer. It was fantastic but Ru only appeared through video. That was disappointing. Yay to your dance battle years! (edited) 6y
britt_brooke The “If” video was so cool! My first concert ever was on her Janet. tour .... I think I was 12ish. Makes me want to dig out this cd! 6y

Reggie @DivineDiana that sounds like an awesome summer thang to do. Hope you got to see Sasha Velour and Shea Coulee!!! Yeah, I was a nerdy kid with some cool closet moves. Lol @britt_brooke like a moth to a flame burned by the fire, my love for you can‘t you see my desire.... that‘s the way love goes oooh oh.... lol (edited) 6y

Centique This is the best thing I‘ve heard all day - Janet Jackson dance battles! 😍Wish I‘d been there. I LOVE dancing still - (sighs) my hip hop 13 yo is too cool to dance with me though. 🙄 6y
Reggie If you had been there, I would have tagged you in @Centique. She‘ll get over it. Before you know it she‘s getting married and everyone dances. 6y

Yesterday‘s sick day was great and relaxing but today is crazy already, since I‘m even farther behind than I already was. At least I have a great playlist and delicious tea to get me started.

Libby1 Take care! I hope you‘re feeling better and that you‘ll have a good day. 7y

CrowCAH Are you working on your novel? 7y
See All 13 Comments
CocoReads @CrowCAH sort of—I finished the first one but am doing some edits to make it better before I explore publishing. And started the 2nd one but I was just telling my sister that I‘ve written 6500 words and hate approximately half of them. I‘ve got about 4 docs open on my laptop. The first novel, the second one that I‘m actively working on, the 3rd one that I‘ve only written the opening scene to and a writing prompt I‘m fiddling with 7y
CocoReads But no, actually I‘m at work right now. I leave them open though because sometimes I get time to work on them 7y
CrowCAH @CocoReads nice! Congrats on finishing the first one! That‘s how I‘ve been writing the second and third novels for my trilogy, in random scenes, then putting them in order. And it‘s okay that you only like half of the 6500 words, getting any words on the page is better than none. Keep up the great work; can‘t wait to read it! 😊 7y
CocoReads @CrowCAH thanks. I fail at outlining so that‘s kind of what I do too, just write the scenes as they come to me and then connect them and put them in order. Which is why I‘ve written the opening scene of book 3–I had an arrogant rock star in my head and he wouldn‘t shut up until I wrote it. Lol 7y
CrowCAH @CocoReads I hear ya; those characters have a mind of their own! Lol I also don‘t outline. 7y
CocoReads @CrowCAH too bad we don‘t live closer—we could form a support group! Lol 7y
CrowCAH @CocoReads I agree! We can still support each other virtually!!! 😉 Though Indiana isn‘t too far; we could try to do a meet-up in the summer on a weekend. 7y
CocoReads True that! We could find a nice halfway point or something. I think you‘re probably 5-6 hours away. Because I‘m on the Lake Michigan side of the state and you‘re all the way on the opposite side of mi. We go to Battle Creek frequently so I could easily do a weekend meet up sometime. @CrowCAH 7y
CrowCAH @CocoReads and Battle Creek is close to my sister in Kalamazoo, so that‘s totally doable! 7y
CocoReads And I actually go through kazoo to get to bc so it sounds like we have a winner! 7y
