Hello everyone from a chilly, rainy, and windy Eastern North Carolina. I just wanted to stop by, catch up on what is going on in the ex-mormon world and share a little update on what is going on in my world. I do occasionally pass through every so often but with work and life, it is not as much as it has been. I do want to share that this past September that I made a mid-life career jump t

Good Morning and Happy Thanksgiving from a chilly Eastern North Carolina.

Good evening everyone from a chilly Eastern North Carolina. I just wanted to get one and yet everyone know I am doing well. I have great news! I finally got my driver's license here in NC. Took me taking the driving test twice before I got it but I am so excited to finally get it. Not much else is going on. Still working at Wendy's and I am on track for a promotion there which will come

A good friend of mine from church who just passed away on Monday. She was one of the first to challenge me to begin the process of becoming an independent, self sufficient woman. One of the things I remember her telling me was "If not you, then who", meaning I need to learn to do things myself and not expect others to do them for me. Learning of her passing has been hard for me these

Most probably know about the storm off the east coast by now. I am planning on riding it out at home. Thankfully I’m in a better structure and the storm isn’t as bad as the one last year so I am not as worried. My friends and I are prepared for a couple of days of no power. I am actually at work waiting to clock in but I am not sure I will be working the rest of the week or when the resta

Good afternoon everyone from a hot Eastern North Carolina. I just got back from church and waiting for the oven to warm up so I can pop my frozen pizza in. Probably spend the afternoon with my feet up and working on a blanket that I am crocheting before heading back to church. I might throw in a ride around the neighborhood on my friends golf cart as well. Tonight, I am hoping that my friend a

Good afternoon from a very hot day here in Eastern NC. Today is a real busy day for me with church, Sunday School, and a funeral earlier today and I still got to go to a gospel singing and dinner at church in a little bit. I am home now for a couple hours so hopefully I get to rest. So what is everyone doing today.

Good Morning everyone from a rainy, gloomy day here in Eastern North Carolina. I actually do not have anything really planned today except do the dishes that wasn't done yesterday. I feel a little out of it this morning so I am going to try and be lazy. So what is everyone doing today?

I guess it is time for an update. The last two months have been super crazy for me between moving, job changes and a really bad mental breakdown. Back in April, I had a bad mental breakdown with everything that had been going on with me. I am doing okay now, but I still have a lot to work on to get me in a better place. I am in counseling that I am getting for free which is really good and I

We got some decent amount of rain Friday and yesterday which is good because it cooled thing off here. We were in the 90's most of this week which is miserable for the last week of May. My friend has a small dog that is like 14 years old and the poor thing is having issues with her hips. I had to help hold her this morning just so my friend could put eye drops in.

Good Morning everyone! It is a warm humid day today here in Eastern North Carolina. I have officially moved out of my trailer and now I am staying at my friends house. They have a large garage that is separate from the main house that has a large upstairs room that my friend and her husband is letting me stay in for a while until I am able to get on my feet. Right now I am over at the mai

Good afternoon from a very hot and humid Eastern NC. Today, I slept in and got up and been doing a lot cleaning and packing. Got to move this week on top of having to work. That's another story to come in time but I am just trying to get things done before Friday. So what is everyone doing today?

Yeah, I am a nevermo that somehow managed to stumble upon this site and was welcomed in with open arms. There are a few of us nevermo's here on this board so I know that I am not the only one. I attend a Original Free Will Baptist Church here in Eastern North Carolina that I love and is far removed from the horrors of the mormon church.

Good morning from a sunny beautiful but chilly morning in Eastern North Carolina. I am just sitting here at the house relaxing before I am off to church in a bit. Other than church and Sunday School, I do not have very much planned for the day. I probably go and put my endless amount of laundry away sometime this afternoon and get it off the dining room table but we will see about that. So

Good morning everyone from a very dark early morning here in Eastern North Carolina. So I have been up most of the night because my insomnia sucks that bad.

Hello from a rain cold night in Eastern North Carolina. I am excited to say that I finally got me a job!!! This will be the first job that I had since quitting my job at Michaels 2 years ago. I will be working at a fast food joint called Bojangles. If you are in the Carolina's you probably know who I am talking about. This place does chicken and biscuits with a Cajun flare.

Good Morning everyone!!! I know it's been a while since I have done a Sunday Morning post so I will do one today. It is a pretty crappy day here in Eastern North Carolina and I feel just as crappy as it looks outside. This morning I am home sick from church with what we call the "Crud" here where I live.

Well I just got back from my friends house after spending most of the day there!!! It was awesome but now I am exhausted. I had a really good meal and probably will not eat again until tomorrow morning when I get up and have breakfast. There was 13 of us there and it was nice.

Somehow I managed to be the only one among my siblings to be able to learn how to make my Dad's stuffing but then again, I highly doubt my Dad would ever let them anywhere close to the kitchen on Thanksgiving Day the way he let me.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!! I hope that everyone is enjoying your turkey and sides tonight. I actually made my first turkey and successfully made my dad's amazing stuffing. The only thing that was missing was the love that my dad put in to it. Today, I enjoyed a remarkably quite day as I celebrated the holiday doing my own thing at my own house.
