Day 5

So I was driving along today while doing errands and I saw a sign for a business called....Laser Spa. Now...I don't know what everyone else's idea of a "spa" is, but I'm pretty sure MY version doesn't involve lasers....lol. Laser Spa...that's like saying "Gun Massage", or "Knife Bed".....those 2 words just do not go together. Also, I didn't realize the weather in Kentucky was so different from the weather in Illinois...it's like a rainforest down here! It's unbearably hot and it rains EVERY day, whether it's sunny or not.Also, random thought for the day: Why does possum sometimes have an "o" on the front?? Are you supposed to say it like that? Or is it just a silent "o"? Anyway, pictures of the day:

Day 4

Nothing exciting today. We had a huge storm though. Didn't hear from The Limited today like I was hoping to but there's always tomorrow. Inspiration pictures for this boring Wednesday??






and of course, I want to do these things with:

^my friends :)

Day 3 Continued...

Well, I had some spare time tonight and I was looking at pictures and found some that were too beautiful and intriguing not to post. I hope someday when I have a home of my own, that I can sit outside in the evenings and experience beauty like this...









and it would be great if some of these people could be there with me... ;)







Also, I have a music to recommend....Katie Melua <3 Love it!

Day 3

Good Morning! Today I am visiting friends and family in Illinois. I'm hoping to hear from The Limited by tomorrow about a job I interviewed for last week. I'm really hoping I'll get it. It would be sooo nice to be able to get a phone again! I have also been thinking about some things lately...fate, destiny, what's right and what's wrong... for instance, why do people fall in love at the worst possible times? When they're unavailable, when they're trying to focus on other things, when they're trying not to care....all of a sudden, somewhere between the lines of a nightly conversation, between the "heys" and "me toos", an unspoken current of "i missed you's" and "i smile when i think about you's" slips in, unnoticed at first...but after awhile....you both begin to realize that something more is there between you than what you had originally planned for...and you can't help it...and you really don't WANT to help it. You've fallen for each other....good or bad, it is what it is....you care for each other whether you want to or not. But then comes the inevitable question....What now? Should you follow your heart? Or should you do what you know is the right thing to do? Is it true that if it is meant to be, it will be?....My heart can only hope so I suppose.

Mood and Inspiration for this confusing Tuesday?....See photos :)

Day 2

Good morning! So today I am going to pay a speeding ticket that is a bit overdue so I don't get arrested...although that might make an interesting blog topic lol, I'd prefer to keep my record clean for now. One small step toward freedom=paying off all the small random debts that keep popping up out of nowhere. My inspirations this morning and my mood today? See photos below. :)

Bat For Lashes...I am absolutely in love with this band lately! Today it's their song "Daniel" that I can't seem to get out of my head.

And, in honor of my plans for the day, I thought it appropriate to post some photos of myself and some of my fellow lawbreakers lol.

Overgrown Roses-365 Days to Independence and a Fresh Start: Day 1

Hey everyone! I am a 22 year old single mom. My son and I are currently living with my father and his wife because my fiance ran off to marry someone else...and left us with no apartment, no phone, no money....with nothing. I'm too old to be living at home, especially with a family of my own, and this blog is going to mark the beginning of my new life. I am giving myself 365 days to completely start over. That includes getting into college, finding a good job, saving money, deciding which city to live in, shopping for a house, and finally getting settled. Ultimate goal: Have a reliable job, and be a homeowner in a city that I actually want to live in- in 365 days.
