One Last Ride

Trey rode with Lexi up to the starting line. He adjusted the GoPro hanging in the back of the car. “There. Now we will be able to assess your racing and make improvements,” Trey smiled. He walked around to the driver side window, leaned down, and gently kissed his wife. Lexi whispered something to him, smiled, and reved up the car. The orange beast shook from the rumble of the exhaust. Trey grinned and walked over to the bleachers. Lexi took a deep breath and gripped her hands around the steering wheels until her knuckles turned white. Her long, brown hair was pulled back in a pony tail. The aroma in the race car consisted of bug spray, exhaust fumes, and racing fuel. Her opponent pulled up next to her in a charcoal 335i BMW with twin turbos and a tune. He must think that he would be able to walk her old Capri. Little did he know that it was a sleeper, but she knew he would be quite the challenge. Lexi glanced over at him. He waved and she returned focus to the pavement. “Do...

Working on my Novella

Lauren was up to no good. She had to nail Jenna and she was going to anything in her power to make sure she did so. Plus, with the baby gone, Jacob would end up just like Keith in no time. Lauren had come to the conclusion that Jenna was a Black Widow, but why? They had known each other since college, but did they really know each other? Lauren had always known Jenna as an upbeat person, but she could definitely see that dark side. Jenna had to win at all costs. She had no boundaries, and you better not tell her “no.” She was driven and determined. There was no way that she ever lost, except to Lauren.

She was the superior and they both knew it. What was it that made Jenna tick? Lauren thought back to college days.

Breaking the Cycle Again

We used all of our emergency fund to pay bills since it took 7 weeks to get unemployment. During that time we also accrued more debt. We have since built our emergency fund back up, and now we are working on our snowball effect. I am just a little overwhelemed with it all. I am a little nervous that if we start to get it rolling again, something else will happen. I am trying to stay positive, but there are so many scenarios that roll through my head.

Stuck in a Rut.

I am very much stuck in a rut with my writing. I haven't written in probably months. I don't know where to go with my story. As a writer, this is very frustrating. I'm going to start working on it again. I have to get it finished and move on to something else. We shall see how it goes!

Weight Loss Journey

I have not been very consistent with my weight loss. I honestly feel complacent. I need new workouts to get myself going again. I feel like I am bored with what I've been doing, so I'm not doing them very well. I am drinking my keto-coffee and taking my thermofight x and carb control daily, but I still have to exercise. I am also trying to drink more water. Blah.
