The Time is NOW!

nope… no grand announcement here.

just letting youze guys know that i’m currently working on the redirect… new page thing-a-ma-jiggy.  that to say, i have no idea what will happen to you all who’ve subscribed via wordpress or email.  none whatsoever.  also note that i actually mean CURRENTLY.. and not my usual, sometime in the near future procrastinating “currently.”  so things will be funky.  and may change over and over within minutes.

and also, the “new” page is under construction.  indefinitely…

but, hopefully, if you’re at all interested in such girlie things as fashion, beauty, makeup and the like, you’ll continue to read 🙂

if you still needed (wanted) to get caught up on the old stuff, i’m exporting this blog to http://previouslypeachykeen.wordpress.com

Not Looking Good

this whole “moving”/ blog transformation bit is taking longer than i’d expected. 

in the meantime, public service announcement!!! 

the feds are threatening to drastically cut funding adolescent health programs.  this affects ALL of us in some way.  if not by completing ruining your life or the future of a child you know, you WILL feel it in your pockets!  why don’t people understand that prevention is always cheaper than after-the-fact?

take a moment (literally) to call or email your representative and help express the urgency of maintaining funding for adolescent health.

visit this link (or the one below) to find your representative then follow instructions  http://sparkaction.org/alert/save-adolescent-family-life-program  script may be altered for your specific state as this is a federal level budget cut and does not just affect georgia residents!!

• Click here to find your Representative: here.   
• Call the Capitol Switchboard at 202.224.3121 and then ask for the office of your representative.  Once connected, ask to speak with the health staffer or be connected to their voice mail.    
• When they answer or their VM picks up,  say:

“Hello my name is ___________ and I am calling as a constituent from ____________  and my zip code is __________.    I am calling to ask Representative _______  to support funding for health and prevention programs.  As a constituent, I ask that you strongly encourage Representative to vote AGAINST any budget bill that cuts funding for the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Initiative, Title X, the CDC, or Planned Parenthood. 

The proposed cuts would have a devastating impact on efforts to prevent unintended pregnancy, HIV, and other STDs and would undermine women, young people, and low-income people’s access to health care.

 These cuts are not about “fiscal responsibility” or “reducing government spending.” They are about eliminating vital prevention and health care programs and eliminating access to comprehensive sex education, family planning, sexual and reproductive health services, and HIV/STD prevention for those most in need.

 In fact, this funding contributes to Georgia’s financial health- with lower teenage pregnancies and STIs, teen can graduate on time, attend higher education, and become part of the competitive work force in our state, therefore contributing positively to Georgia’s economy.

 Again, please urge the representative to VOTE NO to cutting important Office of Adolescent Health/Teen Pregnancy Prevention funding. 

 Thank you for your time.”

 After that, unless they have any questions, say goodbye and hang up- you did your part! 

thanks, sweet peachy citizens!  i suppose if this signals the end of my career, i can always up the side hustles…  make makeup and waitressing full time gigs?  woe is me…

Moving… Sorta

howdy guys and gals! 

i dunno how this whole website pointing, import, export, thing-a-ma-jiggy works.  but… as (somewhat) promised, this blogs a’changin. 

that to say… if things look funky for a while, check back later.
