Wow! I did my first exam on chapters 1-4 and got a 95! Whew! Now I am studying the next 4 chapters and will take that exam in the next day or 2. So far so good! Nutrition is interesting to me so I am enjoying the class. I am liking it so much that I applied to University of Houston for a nutrition bachelors degree. Can’t wait to see if I get in!
I went and walked on the treadmill for 45 minutes yesterday. I wanted to quit after 20 but I kept on.
I went to work for Lyft this morning. I sat and drive around for an hour and got NO calls. That f’ing sucks! So I went home and printed more study guides for my class until my printer ran out of ink. I picked up Styled and we are at the hairdressers now. I also have to take Ms. Forgets to a doctor this afternoon.
Tomorrow is my son’s actual 13th birthday. He invited friends over so there’s no way I can work. Then he leaves for beach retreat on Sunday. I plan on working like crazy while he’s gone. I will get better sleep and hopefully make a lot of extra money.
Anywho, I’m off to study while waiting on Styled. Have a great Friday!
I started thinking about this About Me part of my blog. I'm going to expand it just a little from the 3 words I had before.
I am a single mom. I love my son. We have been alone since he was 6 months old. He really is my sun, moon, and stars. I am very proud of him.
I am an entrepreneur. I started my driving business 2 years ago. I don't want to work for a "boss" ever again. I always tell people they can do it too. In what I do, there is no competition because there are plenty of people that need rides (and maybe that would help get some of these bad drivers off the roads!). I work hard and have fun on my own time doing what I like to do.
I really am a Netflix addict. When I am not working or doing something with my son, I am watching Netflix. There are so many shows that I've never re-watched anything either. I will watch anything and make my own opinion.
I am opinionated. This blog is really just my opinions and my life. People don't have to agree with me all the time. I welcome discussions and other people's opinion whether they agree or not. I'm not petty, I'm not going to block anyone for not sharing my opinion, why do people freak out these days when someone doesn't share their opinion? Who cares?!? There is a reason we all are different.
There's a lot more about me but you'll have to read the blog to find out!

I am dying to know about driving for a living. My husband needs to find something flexible to do (he’s an actor and works weird schedules). We have been talking forever about his either driving for Uber or Lyft. Can you really make decent money doing it?
It depends. They take about half of what they charge people. I can make $50 in 2 hours in the mornings here in Houston with people going to work or to the airport. I never seem to get rides between 10am and 4pm so I just stopped working those hours. Late at night is bigger money as well, especially on weekends. It’s extra money no matter what though!
Thanks! It will depend on if I can get financial aid which I applied for this morning too. If I get accepted and get financial aid, I will start in August.
Congratulations on your grade. Hope you get the financial aid so you can go to u of h. I live in magnolia, and was born and raised in Houston, so I am all for U of H. LOL

Congratulations! But did I missed something!? Nutrition. That is clear. Is it some sort of online learning or something else!?
