Mani Monday: OPI Infinite Shine Tips and Tricks

How do you know Janet’s feeling better?  She paints her nails red! One of my friends and colleagues (who is also a nail polish hoarder fan) sent me a lovely get well present.  I was really hoping it was polish, and it was!  It’s OPI Infinite Shine in the shade Relentless Ruby. Now, I have…

How I Lost 22 Pounds Without Even Trying!

Okay, maybe I did  try.  I tried  not to either pass out or throw up every day.  I tried  not to bleed on everything I wore, sat on, or walked past.  I tried  to actually stay at work every day.  (A day not spent in the ER was a win!)  I tried  to just survive until surgery…

New and Improved Janet

Now with fewer internal organs and more blood inside! Well, I had my surgery on December 12, and I’m finally feeling up to posting about it.  The only pain killer I’ve taken today is ibuprofen, and so far, I’m making it on that.  First time in weeks I don’t have narcotics in my body while at…

Don’t Do Drugs

I mean, unless you have to.  I’m writing this post on Percocet.  We shall see if it makes my writing better or worse.  For science. Since you know I don’t do recreational drugs, that should be a clue that I’m not doing much better physically.  In fact, since my last post, I’ve had another ER…

One

Well, you can’t blame (or credit) me for the election results, because I didn’t vote.  This is the first election since I turned 18 in which I didn’t vote.  Calm down.  I had a good reason.  I had every intention of voting, but the day’s events instead landed me in the hospital getting a blood transfusion. My…

PJF Trail: The Trail’s End?

So tomorrow is my 45th birthday, and if you have been reading for a while and keeping track of my goals (because you have nothing better to do with your life, and let’s face it, I am fascinating), you may recall my first post about the Peaceful Joyful Free Trail in which I set the…

Update All of the Things

It’s been a while since I’ve posted, and there really is a lot going on in my life. I figured I owed it to you to share some updates.  Where to begin… Kittens!  I has them!  Mama Cats had her babies just one week after I rescued her (and her siblings) from their hellish situation. …

And Then This Happened

Today at the New Job…(It shall be called the New Job until it is no longer new.  Which will be when I get used to it all and these sorts of things stop completely shocking me.) My boss was struggling with creating a flyer/poster, and I was kinda not doing much, plus I love doing…

So How’s the New Job?

Last week was my first week at my new job, and I know everyone wants details about how it went.  (Because you are fascinated by me and my life, right?  No?  Well, I’m gonna tell you anyway.) Basically the new job is awesome.  I really like the people, and I feel like I’m respected and my…

Battle of the Bargain Beauty Boxes

I love getting a good deal, and I love beauty products.  Beauty box subscriptions are great way to score both of those things, plus, it’s like Christmas every time a new box arrives in the mail.  I thought I would share what I got in the Walmart and Target boxes this month as well as…
