I'm grateful for my fun day off yesterday. One of the girls from the club had a birthday. We hung put at our friend's place and celebrated. Then we went to the beach. So fun and relaxing!

I'm craving seafood really bad lately and my bf got seafood bouillabaise(however the heck it's spelled) for lunch, even though he's not a fan of seafood. Also, thankful that I will be going on vacation in a few days now. :)

I'm grateful for whatever has recently kicked into my brain and been like "You don't wanna be a stripper forever... no, like you REALLY don't wanna be a stripper forever... it's time to move into the next thing". It's making me DO things instead of just planning to or thinking about doing them.
I did ALL the things today that I said I was gonna do. Rode the pony, listed and 'networked' all the clothes listed in my side hustle, vacuumed/did dishes/laundry, bought animal food, and studied. This never happens. I hope I can continue this!

One of my regulars who knows that I'm going to the mountains this week dropped off a bunch of cookware and a tent. It's funny because I never said anything about needing any of that but I could definitely use the cookware. He must've assumed that by going to the mountains, I meant that I'm going camping. I actually am going to go camping but not until July. I thought that was nice of him.

I'm grateful I have so much clothing. When I was a kid I often only had maybe 2 pairs of shoes and ugly clothes from KMart. Now I dress well and love all of my stuff.

Same here. I had to wear hand me downs, or wear identical clothes, shoes, and socks just like my older bitch sister( which made me think my mother wanted twins). Ugh! So embarrassing.
When I moved out and my mother came to visit, she'd go into my closet. When she saw all of my clothes, she commented that having that much was sinful.:O
She never was invited back.
I shop for clothes at least 2× a month, and I'm so grateful that I can.

Yeah my mom was nuts & would not dress us properly. It was humiliating. However she also grew up as a hillbilly so I'm sure she had the idea that having more than a few outfits was weird.

I calculated my post-bac GPA wrong. It's actually .12 points higher than I had thought. Yay!

Grateful for the gym...its like a place of solace no matter what is going on, and that is awesome.
I'm grateful that I posted in the I'm pissed off thread and noticed I'm now a featured member! I'm not pissed off anymore.

Despite a moment of feeling negative overall I feel great. Today was an amazing day. And i am glad I got the guts to do a live stream. Beating anxiety one step at a time.

^^^It was cool. I got a few people to follow me and and some likes. No tips this time sadly. But I think once I get the hang of it and do more live streams then I may start seeing some moolah. If after a few free streams I don't see anything I'm going to try the pay-per-view method. Thanks for asking :)
Today seemed pleasant. There was bad weather here yesterday and most people power went out today. Mine was on and I'm thankful because it's hot as hell. I also had some good food and looking forward to tomorrow.

Good to hear.
Yeah, the time to invest in actual streaming is a lot at first to build up momentum.
I used to be on cam at least 8 hours per day.
But, now, after 6 plus years, I can just log in and make my money in 2 or less hours.
Hang in there, and you'll see the tips rolling in.

The fact that I have a roof over my head and money to provide for myself, since there are so many people out there who don't have these things, so its important for me to be extra grateful for them.

I'm grateful for the fact that I'm flying to Colorado tonight to see the Dead and Company!! I'm meeting up with old friends I used to follow the Grateful Dead with, and we're all going to the show together. Also thankful that yesterday my customer gave me a book about Jerry Garcia to read on the plane!

I'm grateful for going off yesterday on everyone who promise to give me money. Why? Because men will not be playing with me about my income. If you do not want to pay, then get on Tinder, Grindr, and whatever else to get for free. What you are not going to do is pretend to become my sugar daddy and flake out on me at the day after.
Also, you are going to reach me on kik without talking about paying me. Just got feed up! I got so nasty and vicious because I am not letting any man play with my money. I am very proud of myself because in 2017...I will not allow anyone to get between my income, my comfort, and my love of the good life. May it be a man, woman, company, or corporation.:)

I think when I very first heard about Gmail's feature where it will stop and warn you that you used the word "attached" in an email without actually attaching anything, I laughed. I was like "Who would specifically write an email that's supposed to include an attachment and then not attach it? How scatter-brained."
Totally did it today. Or at least, would have, had Gmail not stopped and warned me. Thanks, Gmail!

I'm grateful that I got to spend the weekend in Boulder seeing the Dead and Company play. I am super grateful some random dude gave me a free ticket for the show last night. I've been getting all sorts of freebies on this trip. Free food, free beer, free concert ticket. God knows I've been working hard and needed this trip, and I don't have a lot of $ to spend, so thank you Universe!

I don't believe this! I had a Groupon for 3 nights of airport parking for half price.So my flight lands and I go to get my car from the park n fly...I had 4 days of parking. I used my voucher to cover the 3 days. Then the guy was all "I'll give you your 4th day for free since we kept you waiting." So now add free parking to the list! Wow! So happy!!
AND I used my credit card to pay for my hotel the first night. Well, my card never got charged! So now I scored a free hotel room lol!!!

It was a fun time! And now I am grateful to be home. I really needed this break. Life's been tough lately. It would've been better if the friend I was staying with wasn't acting so weird the first night, but whatever. I didn't let it get to me too much and I had a great time.

Today I'm grateful for easy money. I like money that you don't have to do any hard work for. All I had to do was sell clothes that my daughter outgrew and a bike that's she's too big for now and clothes and shoes that I don't wear anymore. If I could make a living just selling stuff that I and other people don't use or need anymore, I would.

Grateful to have found Kinder chocolate at the Asian supermarket here in the US. Grabbed 3 Kinder Bueno bars, ate one in the car, and omg it made my day.
Also, grateful that my boyfriend wasn't annoyed by me running around the Asian grocery store buying nothing but candy and soda lol

They are amazing. I think I may do mine again later on. I made so much money when I had them in. Guys were grabbing me easily at work when i had them in. I barely hustled.
Just the maintenance to wash them was a pain in the ass.

I just opened up a big storage container in my mom's apartment, and I was really surprised to find that a lot of my favorite old clothes were still in there. All my nice dresses, skirts, shorts, bras... I'd completely forgotten that I'd saved them before I left for Europe last year. I was in such a rush to pack everything up... I thought I'd given them all to Goodwill. Opening that container was like Christmas, or digging up a time capsule from a past life. I've been living out of a suitcase for about 9 months now, and it's going to be SO awesome to finally have a closet full of clothes again!

I love my hair! I have been trying to get a hair stylist to do black with blonde streaks for YEARS. And they always either tell me that they don't think it'll look good with my skin tone so they don't want to do it (as though their opinion should be the deciding factor in what they will or won't do for me when I'm paying them?), or else they just don't go bold enough or get it completely fucking wrong.
I am so happy with it, and it looks awesome on me! So all those stylists that were so convinced it would look awful can go suck it.

My brother is in town. He brought my niece with him. We were at my nana's place and decided to go to the mall, maybe watch a movie. She was so exicted and dressed up like a CEO/fashion journalist, stood right next to the door. She waited for a few minutes as I needed to use bathroom and nana needed to put the shoes on. Then my niece said to us: "Let's go, when we are still young!" She's only 7. Where did she learn to speak like that?

Took my little boy on a six mile hike today. It was all flat, but he was still a trooper. Greatful I get to share the outdoors with him, and greatful he is the super cool, sweet, roll with the punches, boy he is.
