♥Lisa♥ - Queen of Random

So I haven’t been on here too much, I have been really busy working and getting ready for my trip to Rome net month..its creeping up on me really fast!   I have been doing great with work. Next week I will be taking my 20 hours of classes to get prepared for my 2 exams the following week to get my Loan Officer license!! I can’t wait! I am very excited about the job!! I got hired but a great company and can’t wait to get started with them which will be hopefully the Monday after I get back from my trip. It was originally supposed to be the Monday that I’m going to be gone so hopefully they will push it up a week for me.   I love Real Estate and Customer Service and can’t wait to get this going and before too long I will be moved back to Texas and starting a new job in my home office still but in a different place and getting use to being a single mom again which I don’t think that I’m going to mind at all.   Have a great rest of the day and week everyone and I look f...

Welcome to the Born Unique Baby Guide Giveaway! Hosted by Giveaway Promote . How cool is this? I love these cakes, they look so cute. Now if only I had a baby...my kids are teens so no diaper cake here for us but I still love the way that they are decorated and would recommend or get one for a friend that has a baby around.

When you are working at home, there is always the chance that people/companies are going to try and rip you off. One way is by not paying you. Make sure you have your rear end covered. Keep records of conversations on messengers/email etc and always also make a spreadsheet/doc in Google docs or somewhere safe where it won't get lost of all the tasks you do and the time that it took you to do them. Be very very specific with certain tasks if you need too.   I have been working here at home for over 13 years and in these years I haven't been ripped off but a couple of times which is a great thing but, every now and again you will find yourself in the midst of chaos when the client files a dispute and doesn't want to pay. For example, this is what I am going through with one of my now ex-clients on Elance. Elance is a great site and very very reputable etc. I have an excellent rating on there as a contractor that I take very seriously and because of this one bad ...

I think that I used most of my energy chasing after 4 kids when they were all littler. They were always running around everywhere and I was always exhausted but didn't mind it too much as I loved running and playing with the kids taking them to the park or in the backyard etc. It only meant that if I used my energy and was exhausted then I know that they were too and everyone would get a great nights sleep/rest! I miss the days of chasing little ones around the house and outside...My children are now teens...19, 17, 15 and 14.

I don't think that I would take it. I enjoy my dreams that I have. Thankfully I have more "good" then not. So I think that I would like to continue to sleep and dream....I like thinking about the dreams and what the meanings are behind them. I feel like there is always a reason for thinking things or dreaming. I believe that everything happens for a reason so in my mind that includes dreaming. I like analyzing dreams for the most part...gets me excited and wondering what is next around the corner for me :)

I would say any of Bon Jovi's songs are usually full of energy and get me going. I am however, stuck on one of J. Lo's songs called "I'm Real" I heard that the other night on one of my many spotify playlists and I can't get enough of it..hmm guess its just one of my moods that I'm in. I love J. Lo so no surprise there though. Love music, can't live without it!! Love lots of songs and they give me energy...

Let's see...hmm....   1. No talking with your mouth full!!! That just drives me nutty not to mention rude and sounds disgusting! And the thing that gets me is that my teenagers have been raise to not do that and they are pretty good about not doing that but the crazy thing is, is that a 44 year old man still can't get it through his stubborn head that its gross!   2. If you have something to say, don't talk behind my back, say it to ME!! Don't go and call someone and talk about me and what you don't like what I do or don't do etc. And don't call someone in MY home and complain and gripe to them when I'm right here in the house!! Say it to ME!! People that talk about others and behind others backs I just don't understand that..if I have something to say I would rather tell that person then go and blab to others how I don't like what they did or didn't do etc. Have some respect and tell the actual person!   3. Fake people....

I find that I am the most energetic and productive usually later on in the day...usually in the early evening around 4-6. And at night time around 9-10. Sometimes in the morning I have energy if I have something good to eat and my caffeine..and other days I just feel blah in the mornings and it takes me awhile to get up and get going.   And I find that it also depends on the temperature and how the weather is outside, like if its sunny then I'm in a better mood and more energetic and if its more cloudy and gloomy rainy etc outside then that seems to suck the energy out of me!

My favorite way to recharge is either taking a drive to a park and walking around and just relaxing in the nice outdoors or like now in the winter time, I take a nice hot bubble bath. I relax in the tub with my laptop in there playing one of my many playlists I have on Spotify and just relax...don't think about anything or think about little things..clear my head and or get my head straight helps me recharge when I feel that I am drained and can't concentrate on getting things done etc. I absolutely can't wait for my ONE whole week to Italy!!!! I am going to SO be taking a bubble bath EVERY night!!! I am going in March for my 40th birthday and I will definitely be needing to recharge my energy there as we want to see a ton of things. Starting in Rome and then going to Venice and Florence :) That is a pic of a tub in one of the hotels that I'm looking into staying at...whichever one has the hugest tub I want!! LOL...

Well I first got involved in blogging because my step-daughter introduced it to me on myspace about 7 years ago..hmm might of been longer..lost track of time, will have to look it up and see. Anyway, she got me into it because she knew that I love to write my thoughts down. The name and where it came from..since the first time that I got online which was goodness 12 years ago or a little longer my first name/id that I came up with was Lisa_2900 well after awhile I got tired of the _ in between so I decided to just do the Lisa2900 and since then its stuck with me..I had this blog as just Lisa's blog but a few years ago..like 5 years or so a friend came up with an avatar/banner for me and she called me Queen of Random and that just kind of stuck with me and only about last year or so is when I finally redid my blog completely and put Queen of Random as my title. I love my blog and I love my blog name. I am for sure the Queen of Random in more ways then one.  I can jump from one...

For today's January Blog Challenge  for day 2, the topic is 5 blogging goals and my plan to achieve them. Let's see.... 1. Stay involved/active on my blog. Around the holidays I was MIA...I have been blogging for more then 7 years. I use to do just a personal blog but then started doing it to where I wanted to share things with others. I love my blog SO much, I have a shirt that says I heart blog or something like that .. lol I haven't worn it in awhile and forget exactly what it says..I've had it for years and have worn it out! It was on Rosie O'Donnell's site years ago and I had to have it :) I am determined to stay active no matter what I am doing and how busy or chaotic it gets around here I will stay more active. Even if that means scheduling posts...I will stay active and fresh :) 2. I absolutely am hooked on the Giveaways that are out there for the bloggers to get involved with. So another goal of mine is to keep adding more giveaways on my blog...
