So, I'm going to try this blog thing again, guys. Life is entirely too complicated and plenty can be said about it , so why not write? This is actually an old post I wrote but never posted (why I don't know) but I haven't read it yet, so AFTER I post it, I'll read it and post a response to it-seeing if I feel the same way. Enjoy!
It's what many have been waiting for, I'm sure. Perhaps my next post will be a comparison of the two. I do have "My thoughts on Men" posting to reference though...we'll use the same categories.
Liars, Hoes, Cheaters, Manipulators, Dumb....I can already see where the the differences are with the last one :-)
Liars: I will admit, from my own experiences, that women are wonderful liars. They (I use they because I do not do such things) can break up a relationship by blowing a simple "I saw your bf at the bar" wayyyy out of the water. Note to men: be careful what females know about you, because if they want you, they WILL use any kind of info as bait to either end your present relationship or draw you in...and you'll fall for it..why? read the 5th category under "My thoughts on Men" ;-) Lying is STILL a bad thing and I am not giving the word for females to lie, but I can say watch out.
Hoes: I meeeannn, we all know a hoe. There are some GIRLS out there that can have the sexual relations without the emotional part. One thing I do realize though, is they don't necessarily go off how many...I believe it's more like how long it is (and I'm not talking about the actual session........) ohhh the things that I know....
Cheaters: There have been plenty of guys that I know that have been cheated on. While I am sorry (and I really mean it), I believe it wasn't her intentions to hurt. Why? She's a woman. Every woman who has cheated has their own reasons (obviously) but I honestly think they main reason they cheat is because they don't get the attention they need. There is one week out of the month that you CAN do your own thing. The other three, you gotta play the cards right. You MUST know the cycle. I'm nice enough to give you the play by play:
-----Week 1 (The week BEFORE her period): You must prep. Cramps can start to occur and bitchiness WILL occur, so play by ear this week but make sure you are fully stocked on pads and tampons so when that day comes, you won't have to make that trip. Also, make sure 'I love you' comes out a lot
-----Week 2 (THE period week): Super emotions week, so watch out, BUT do NOT disappear. Biggest mistake. Make sure you are prepared for chick flicks, chocolate, cuddling, and tears...yelling can occur as well.
-----Week 3 (The week after): aka the make up week aka sex. Just make sure you use protection on that ovualting day (a week or so after her period) so you don't produce the uh-oh baby ;-)
-----Week 4 (the man week): Your time to actually play the video games, go golfing, work on your car, etc. aka man time. this is your by week to do what you need to do

Its that time of the year....
Ahh yes, it's Christmas time and what better way to celebrate than to post my Christmas list...haha. No, but really don't you just hate when family members ask you what you want and you have to repeat ur list or 1 item over and over and over again. No? Well, I do...haha. Now, my top 3 on my list has been the same for about 3 years now...I think that says that I'm kinda expensive lol. Expensive taste = a badass woman, right? haha Sooo, for comedy reasons, here's my top 3:
#1: A Macdaddy Laptop
#2: THE coach bag...From the madison collection, the Maggie *drools*
purple interior..sexy!
blue n brown combo...sexy!#3: THE canon camera ANYONE who knows me KNOWS I love taking pictures
EOS Rebel T3 *drools*
From #4 on down, it's just the typical clothes, jewelry, gift cards, etc. In the end, I've come to terms with the fact that if I ever want the top 3 on my list, I'll have to marry rich.
All in all, Merry Christmas loves. Don't forget the true meanings of Christmas: Jesus, Family, and giving.

The ART of couponing.
This is, in NO way, coming from the side of my brain that is not as female as it should....then again, men are cheap so it could be right in between. Many people know me as the girl who uses coupons ALL THE TIME. So, why not share some tips :-) You're welcome.
SO, my all time fav place to shop with coupons: CVS. CVS has a program called the "Extra Care" program which basically is CVS money (called Extra Bucks) you get back on certain items in the ad for the week.
Here is an except from one of my fav blogs to go to for coupons...Southern Savers!
The Extracare system is a customer loyalty program like most grocery stores. You always have to show your extracare card to receive the benefits. The program does not save you money off normal prices however, what it does is reward you after your purchase with Extracare bucks that print on your receipt that you can then use on your very next purchase.
The products that will print the extracare bucks are listed in most CVS advertisements, and will say “free after ECB” or “get $2 ECB back after purchase”. It is using the extracare buck system that you will be “buying” everything at CVS for free.
How??
Here is a short shopping trip to try to explain it easier…
Go into CVS and buy 1 of the free after ECB items. (The first time you do this you will actually pay real money – so for the very first time it is technically not free but from here on it will be.)
This month you could go in and buy Listerine Smart Mouth Rinse @ $3.49
You pay $3.49 plus tax
On your receipt it will print an ECB for $3.49 that you can use on you very next trip.
You can even walk back to the tooth care isle grab another bottle walk up to the counter, hand them you next bottle and hand them your ECB from your last purchase. You might owe a penny depending on your state tax system… and on your receipt will print another ECB for the same $3.49. You can continue this cycle of handing them play money until you either reach you limit for the item or the cows come home if you keep grabbing free items.
I think you are now seeing how great this could be. But it gets better. Remember that coupon they emailed you when you signed up???
Let’s go back and re-pretend scenario #1 and this time you checked on our website and got prepared for the deals before you went. You walk in for your very first trip with multiple coupons in hand and a shopping list…
You buy:
2 Listerine Rinses
2 Oral B tooth brush packs
Total = 20.96
You have your CVS store coupon (from the email) for $4 off $20 and you have (2) $1.00 off Listerine coupons you printed
You pay 14.96 plus tax after all your coupons…(being your first trip you pay with real money)
It will print the full value of ECB on your receipt so you now have 20.96 in ECB!!! These ECB will be in the amounts totaling the different products so you will have one for $6.98 and one for $13.98. You can again use these right away if you like or they give you one month to use them before the expire.
Now with your $20.96 in ECB in hand you can go back in and buy 2 more of each of those items pay with you new CVS ECB’s and again at the end of that receipt it will print another $20.96!!!
Here are a few tips she gives as well!
A few tips:
MY Tips:
-List out everything you want to get before you go so you make a 1 1/2 hr shopping trip into a 15-20 min. one
-ALWAYS have a back up plan...most CVS stores run out of the extra bucks stuff (cause of coupon ladies who purchase 50 of each thing), so make a plan B or even a C (you'll appreciate it in the store...but this will seriously take 15 minutes of your time at home)
-If they don't have what you want, get a rain check...they will put the amount of extra bucks you would have received as well, so you can get it at a later date WITH the CVS money
I'm pretty sure that sums up a CVS trip...if you need assistance, I'm an email away (n.ternate07@gmail.com) or FB me with your list or scenarios :-)

A few tips:
- Make sure you always give them a $$/off $$$ (like the $4 off $20) coupon first before manufacturers coupons. In the example above had I used the manufacturers coupons first the total would have been less 20 dollars.
- Always have a list of exactly what is free, sometimes it is very specific items and you want to make sure you are getting the right things.
- If you are using a $4 off $20 or type of coupon like that make sure you have a few backup plans to hit your $20 in case your CVS is out of something.
- Take in a calculator to help you quickly add up your total to make sure you are going to have the right amount for you ECB’s to cover it.
- You need to always make sure that what you are buying is equal to your ECB’s or a little more (pennies). You can pay for $4 worth of items with $5 in ECB but you are losing money that way and don’t really want to do that. So find some filler items that you like, $1 disposable razors, a pack of gum… lots of options.

-List out everything you want to get before you go so you make a 1 1/2 hr shopping trip into a 15-20 min. one

I guess this should have been the very first post, but I think some of my readers don't know me personally and maybe are looking for a better understanding of me.

My thoughts on Men
Oh yes...be scared. As much as I can't stand being around girls, I think men are worse....but I'm BFFs with the punks. I know, it makes NO sense, but hey who said everything in life needed to make sense, right?
Men are liars, hoes, cheaters, manipulators, dumb...the list goes on. I am not forgetting females...but this post is not about us. Let's take this step by step...
Liars: Maybe it's for a good cause...the lying...SIKE. If ANYONE can tell me when it's a good time to lie, let me know...most of the time it's to get ahead with men...whether it's to bang the hot chick or to get rid of an annoying one. While us females CAN be emotional...do not spare the feelings. We'll thank you later on...just tell the truth. Otherwise, yes it most certainly will bite you in the ass later. Been there, done that.
Hoes: I KNOW females are too, but again...it's about then men in this one. I truly think at some point in every man's life, it's all about the number. Not necessarily wanting a girl, but just how many you can bang in a certain time frame. Completely ridiculous and unnecessary...no need to take into consideration any feelings the girl WILL get.
Cheaters: I've heard it time and time again talking with my beloved asshole guy friends. "I did it cause I didn't want to lose her, but the other chick was hot" "I wanted to see if i could get away with it" Pure excitement it seems to me. Do me and every girl out there a favor and take your excitement out on wrestling, sky diving, riding a motorcycle. It pisses me off when I hear it, cause it comes out of the most unsuspecting men...tsk, tsk. Again, do me a favor and break up with me before you even think about cheating...so I can find a man who is worth my time.
Manipulators: You know, the guy who seems into you and gets you with his charm and swag...then drops you when he gets what he wants..whether it's an appearance with you, makin an ex jelly, sex/ a nut, money, etc. You can even call this one shallow...cause he puts no ones feelings into consideration.
Dumb: I honestly don't think any man will learn their lesson when it comes to 'screwin up'. Letting a good woman go, because you screwed up...but you won't learn from your mistakes cause it'll happen all over again. I've heard story after story dealing with it...just plain dumb. Maybe keep a journal and figure out what you're doin wrong...get feedback...thus is the key to a successful relationship with a GOOD WOMAN (hoes are not included).
Well here's a little venting for the night...I love my guy friends, dearly...but most are asses...which is why I wouldn't date any of em. I'm sorry to the women they hurt and all the stories I've heard about y'all. I try to knock some sense into their big heads, but there's just so much I can do.
SN: I do know plenty of good guys who get hurt by hoes...but that's another story for another day :-)

Drama.
So starting off, let me say a lot has changed since I wrote last. Look for a possibly update post later on (hopefully tomorrow). All in all, I think I've grown, but I still hate most females.
Moving on....
I THOUGHT drama was the root of most issues with FEMALES...little did I know, plenty of BOYS haven't grown their balls and wanna cause drama too. Who knew they to the "he said, she said" crap as well. I guess when talking to any human (who knows, if we talked dog, they'd probably have drama too) you are bound to run into the drama. Drama at the work place, drama with the bf/gf, drama at home, etc...can we ever escape it? Here's what I have to say about it: SUCK IT! I am sick of people trying to bring me down with the bull...crying and complaining about every little thing. Wouldn't you agree? Honestly, I do expect some drama from the females, but to the "so called men" out there...GROW a pair and get over it.
((phew)) I feel better.

"It's not Mine, so it's not responsibility"
One of the most important things (in my mind) on this Earth, are children. I melt when I hear a child's laugh, I want to cry when I hear a child cry....they are the most innocent beings and seeing life through their eyes is truly how we should be living our lives every day.
Now that I got that little piece of adivce off my chest, this goes back a few years when I was kinda dating (I don't necessarily call it dating because it wasn't anything serious or official). Of course, I'd have deep convos (as I do with everyone I meet) with the prospects and one guy in particular brought up something I'd never thought about. Women with children...he said he would never marry a woman who had a child. When asked why, he replied, cause it wasn't his responsibility to take care of some other man's kid. Let's just say, he wasn't someone I'd like to date. I mean really? It's not your responsibility? It's a deal breaker if she has a kid? Not like it's a good thing, but PLENTY of females these days have kids. Was it a stupid move? Maybe...it depends on the female, BUT it should never come down to it not being your responsibility. If anything, you should want to prove that you're better than the father who left and/or be there for the female under any circumstances.
I think it also goes for the other way around...not that it is seen a lot but if a male has a kid and the mother isn't there...it shouldn't be a deal breaker either.
ALSO, I could see it another way: Possibly he sees it as a milestone that he wants to experience together. having the first child, not knowing what to do, etc. I can honestly say that I do see that; however, if you go to the mall with a girl and then you go to the mall with another girl...is it really the same experience both times? Ok, not a great comparison, but you get my point, right? The experience is not going to be the same every time.
As I'm finishing up here, I got off the phone and thought of a great topic tomorrow: being a closed book. I also realized I open tomorrow sooooo it's bedtime... gnight all. :-)
