I like this cute black and white striped sunhat from ModCloth. Not sure if it would look as cute on me as on the model. Could see wearing it on the beach with a black bathing suit and white cover up. Just for Sun Hat – Purchase Details

I am still feeling down in the dumps and time is getting away from me. If I don’t get up and go work out within the next hour I will probably end up not working out today which isn’t good. I know I should go ahead and do Dave Sinclair’s 1 Hour Breakdown but that’s such a tough workout that you need a mental edge for it and I don’t have a mental edge right now.

Just checked my earnings for today. $0.46. I kid you not. That is what I have made so far today. Forty-six cents. And I’ve been working all day but blogging isn’t for everybody and I should know that by now. I’ve tried starting up so many blogs but I haven’t had the kind of success that some other writers have and I figure it’s because I don’t really know a damn thing about anything and I’m effing boring.

Maybe I’ll get up and go do 20 pushups and 100 crunches just to get myself in the frame of mind for working out. Yeah I think I’ll go do that. Can’t go to sleep without burning off some of what I ingested today.

Here’s a sheer curry colored zebra-print scarf that I like and would buy if I could; but still poor and pathetic which is probably why I’m feeling down right now. I’m working hard but not making any money and it gets a wee bit depressing especially when you read about women like Marissa Mayer and their multi-million dollar salaries.

I am not motivated at all today. I should have already worked out but I just can’t convince myself to get up and do what I have to do and I ate a bit more today and yesterday than I really should have. I didn’t really workout yesterday either. I just did about half hour of very light stuff.

I’m not at an age where I can afford to not workout. Every little thing I eat leaves evidence behind if I don’t work it off.

But yeah” the money thing is depressing. I guess I only have myself to blame for my situation though. It’s only fitting that it should pay to be smart. I totally get it; and the opposite of that is also true. It doesn’t pay to be stupid; and I made a lot of stupid decisions at that critical point in my life when I needed to be smarter in order to secure a brighter future for myself.

Right now I am wearing raggedy old blue shorts that I made by cutting off the legs off an old pair of the hubby’s sweats. I am wearing the shorts with an oversized maroon t-shirt and my head is covered with a red bandana.

It’s hot as heck in the apartment right now.

I just finished eating my first meal of the day and it’s 4:10PM. I mixed up some heart smart bisquick with creamed corn and made corn pancake. I only had 1. I’m supposed to be fasting for a few days so I’ve technically cheated by having it.

I’m sleepy. I didn’t go to bed until after 4AM. I was up writing. Lack of sleep is bad but it’s a good sign that I didn’t want to get up and go to bed and abandon my writing. I finished my rewrite of Chapter One of the novel I’m trying to rewrite. This is the one where Salima is a remembered character meaning she’s not alive in the book but she plays an important role in the development of the antagonist character.

But yeah” I think this cami capri set is cute and if I could afford it I would definitely buy it right now.

White 100% silk Tt Collection Women’s Jilla Maxi Dress

Here’s another maxi dress that I would get if I could afford it. It’s the Tt Collection Women’s Jilla Maxi Dress. I would get this in both white and red.

The only thing I don’t like is that the dress is dry clean only.

I wonder what the fashion rules are regarding women who are five feet and four inches tall wearing maxi dresses. Do maxi dresses look better on taller women than on shorter women?

This Tt Collection Women’s Jilla Maxi Dress is 100% silk. I don’t think I have anything that’s 100% silk in my wardrobe; but that doesn’t exactly constitute a crisis.

I think this particular style of dress would be good for someone with my little fibroid problem as long as the overhanging tiered part of the dress fully covers the stomach area. If not” maybe I might have to wait until I get rid of my fibroids to get this dress.

Maybe next I will go imaginary shopping for some nice flat sandals to wear with my imagined new maxi dresses; but before I do that I need to go and do some writing. I’ve been busy working on my novel. I know I said in another post that I was putting the novel with Salima in it on hold” but I came across a version of that novel and loved it and started working on it again. Salima doesn’t really play a prominent role in the novel. The novel is really about a girl named Mollicent. Yeah I know it’s an odd name. She doesn’t like it either.

Blue Print spaghetti strap maxi Dress – eight sixty Women’s Santorini

I keep seeing Heidi Klum in maxi dresses and she looks so nice in them. Sometimes you think you have to dress to compete with all the hot little things running around in their cropped tops and short shorts but a woman can be sexy in a nice maxi summer dress.

You don’t have to put all your goods on display to be sexy.

Matter of fact getting attention for who you are is better for you than getting attention for how sexy you look and I speak from personal experience on what it’s like to only get attention for how you look.

I’m no super model and you probably wouldn’t consider me beautiful but there have been more than a few men who have crossed my path who did think I was sexy and beautiful; but because I had no self confidence and no self esteem I was presenting myself to them as something to be objectified. By the way I dressed I screamed for attention and I got the attention I screamed for; but when you scream for attention like that the attention you get will usually end up doing you more harm than good.

Men who gravitate to women who are clearly insecure aren’t usually the kind of men who will help to build up a woman’s sense of self. They are usually the kind who will take full advantage of your insecurities and use you until they tire of you then toss you aside and leave you even more insecure more lacking in self confidence and riddled with even lower self esteem.

Maybe if I had been wearing maxi dresses instead of ridiculously short mini skirts I wouldn’t have ended up where I can’t afford to buy myself this dress; but if I could afford it I would definitely get it. It looks nice and comfortable and nice and comfortable is good.

In my personal experience when you dress strictly to get male attention you will usually get the attention you seek but that attention will not usually turn into anything good for you. It is better to dress for yourself not to try to compete with other women for men’s attention but to be comfortable and at ease your skin.

I think this is the same model from the red angora blend cardigan. I like this oversized tunic length scooped neck tee that she’s wearing. It looks nice and comfy.


(Cotton Scoopneck Tunic Tee – Buy it),

I really need to buckle down and stop wasting time. I mean this is like my last chance to make something of myself I think.

The truth is I’m not so sure I have any real talent. I re-read my novels and other writings ( I don’t mean blog posts), and I do see ability but those were all things I wrote in the past and I don’t know that I have the talent right now.

I’m also not sure I know enough about anything to write a novel that any intelligent person is going to want to read; but it’s been my dream to become a published author since I was a teenager and I sort of gave up on that dream for a while after my first attempts to get my stuff published resulted in rejection after rejection. I’ve been feeling kind of like a failure lately and wanted to give it one last shot to see if I can complete a publishable novel by my next birthday in November.

So far all I’ve done is thought about it and now blogged about it. I need to get started. It’s 1PM right now. Maybe I’ll try to write something then get up at 2 to go workout then come back and update the websites I haven’t updated yet today then try to do nothing but write from 4PM until bedtime minus the time I’ll have to spend in the kitchen making dinner. We’ll see.

Luxurious red angora-blend cropped cardigan sweater with satin-covered buttons

I don’t own any cardigans. I guess cardigan sweaters don’t fit the role I play in my present life. Maybe if my life had gone a little bit differently if I’d fulfilled my dreams by now and lived in a nice house in Connecticut and I was married to a successful businessman or a college professor or a judge I’d own a few cardigans.


(Cropped Angora-Blend Cardigan Sweater – Buy it),

I don’t know what angora blend feels like. I want to imagine its soft. The model doesn’t look like she’s feeling uncomfortable. She looks pretty calm and serene like the sweater is nice and soft and her life is great. I’m thinking I want to model the sister of my heroine after her in the sense of her having the look of someone for whom life has been peachy. She’s always gotten everything she’s wanted all because of her pretty face.

I really need to iron out the details for this story. In the original version the sister plays a different role from the role I see her playing in this version which presents a bit of a problem for me because I now have to figure out how to tie the original character into the story if I intend to keep the back story that was built around the hero’s brother.

What will end up happening based on what I’ve seen playing out in my head is that the character who was the sister in the original will either be removed altogether or I’ll have to completely change her story. Either way I am facing a difficult situation because I need a strong and believable link between the hero and heroine and the hero’s brother and his brother’s wife in order to justify the sub plot.

It’s been a bit since I’ve done any imaginary shopping. Real life has gotten in the way although to be honest I do this in part to try to help make real life a little bit more manageable. It does get kind of tedious talking to yourself all day every day though. So I’ve picked this oversized fleece tunic for my first imaginary purchase of the day.


(Fleece tunic – Buy It),

I like how roomy and comfortable it looks. I’m more for comfort than style when I’m lounging around at home. I like things that are roomy. I’d probably wear the tunic by itself” depending on how short it is in reality. Or maybe I’d wear some khaki shorts or frayed denim short.

I am totally sleepy right now and I’m supposed to be writing. I’ve given myself 4 months to finish my novel. Not the Salima novel. I’ve decided to put that on hold and rewrite another of my novels in the hope that I can finally fulfill my life’s dream; but I’m having some trouble getting started.

This is a novel I wrote years ago. I would be rewriting it completely. The main characters will be the same but their story will be a little bit different. Back when I first wrote it I tended to read somewhat unrealistic fiction and my own work was impacted by what I was reading. I’ve always looked back at my stuff and wished I had been reading more contemporary works but I was a bit of a silly snub back then thinking I wanted to be more Jane Austen and less Danielle Steele.

So Dr. A didn’t bother to answer my email. Not that you have any idea what I’m talking about; but yeah. I could sit here wishing I hadn’t sent that email but I did so wishing I hadn’t is pointless. I have to focus forward. So that’s what I’m doing. I like this Aqua High Low Cascade Dress from Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent. Even though the model looks like she’s 15 I think this dress should be suitable to wear regardless of your age.
Aqua High Low Cascade Dress from Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent

I probably wouldn’t wear the dress for the simple reason that the overlay is sheer and so you’d be able to see my fibroids pushing out my stomach and making me look pregnant” but other than that I think this is a gorgeous dress.

The material of this dress is said to be 100% silk. The dress is described as a “crinkled silk chiffon” dress with “fine gathers at the neckline” and “a ruffled high-low hem”.

I love the flat sandals the model is wearing with the dress. I think flat sandals are the perfect choice for this dress.
