I have come to the conclusion that if I actually get motivated, this blog could actually serve a purpose or two. One, I already plan on reviewing just about anything. Not just products, but services at Restaurants, Retail Shops, and even just people that either impress me or just plain piss me off.
My daughter suggested I do vlog (video blogs) but I am a person with dwarfism (Diastrophic Dwarfism to be precise) and sometimes a person born with that type of dwarfism have unique voices. Some ignorant people might consider or verbally suggest that we sound like the munchkins from the Wizard of Oz (I still hate that movie btw). I'm not really sure why some of us DD's have these types of voices and others don't. My sister is also a DD and has the type of voice that could have been a DJ like she always dreamed of, done voice over's on all types of work, and she has always been known to be the best singer in our family. My talent doesn't lie with my voice, but I hope it lies rather within the words that I write. But I could be wrong and I could just suck at this. We shall see, right?
Anyway, I digress! My voice just isn't made for recordings IMHO. However, I might do some video's later, with my daughter's help with some products that I decide to give my opinions on. Like the cake ball maker that I got for Christmas two years ago from my daughter, and have yet to try it. I think it would be fun, a memory maker and fodder for this blog. What can I say? I like to multi-task.
My biggest thing right now is ordering things off of Amazon.com. Usually at 2 in the morning, after I've taken Ambien or I'm just depressed and think retail shopping is the cure to what ails me. I know it's not, but hey why not, right?
At the moment, I am not sure what will actually be my first thing to review. It might be about a concert that I recently attended in Dallas at the Granada Theater (This will not be that great of a feedback of the venue FYI) or it might be a review on the Chillow that I just ordered online not just 30 minutes ago. I'm in my mid-forties and I'm at the beginnings of Hot Flashes and Night Sweats. Oh Happy Joy! (I use a lot of sarcasm sometimes, in case you haven't noticed by now btw). I am praying that this thing works. For some reason, DD's are sometimes known to their friends and family members as "little" heaters in bed. My husband is always cold and we fight daily, constantly about what the temp should be in our home. The Chillow might save a marriage! Just kidding sweetheart! ;)
If you have any suggestions on what you would like to see me give a review on, please feel free to drop me an email and let me know. I am open to *almost* anything. Nothing too perverted, ok people?
Ok, that's it for now. Just wanted to give a quick heads up and also start to get into the habit of writing on this blog.
Until Next Time,
~Cheers~

Welcome to Reviews by Renea - my newest blog!
Welcome to my newest blog. I go by the name of Renea and thought I would create a new blog. I actually write on one blog mainly. It's about my hobby almost totally, which is entering Sweepstakes. I have enjoyed the hobby for about 10 years. The sweepstaking bug has slowly started to fade, and even though I don't think I will ever quit entering sweepstakes, I think I need either a new creative outlet.
I've given it a lot of thought as to what kind of blog I wanted. There are so many blogs out there it makes my head spin. It does seem the majority are Mommyblog. I am a Mom, however I have a teenager and not a baby or toddler. Plus I don't think my child would appreciate me writing about her life on a public forum. Plus I am slightly paranoid and over protective (Thank you Mom :) so I when I do speak my daughter, I plan on using her nickname: Misa.
I enjoy doing many thing. Or at least as many thing as I physically possibly can. I say it that way because I was born with a disability (or differently able, as I like to think) in the fact that I was born with a rare form of dwarfism called Diastrophic Dwarfism. If you ever watched the TLC show "Little People, Big World" then you might know or remember that the Dad, Matt Roloff also shares the same type of diagnosis. Although he's is slightly taller, as he's 4'2" and I stand at 3'6" the last time I checked anyways. I'm in my mid forties and just turned 46 four days ago and I do feel that as the years progress, I am slowly shrinking. Oh well, such is life, right? ;)
So this new blog is my new space on the internet to write about whatever the heck I feel like writing. I love to read, enter sweepstakes, attend conventions, go out to eat, go to concerts and other outside activities and festivals. watch movies and television (or at least on Netflix and Hulu) as much as I can get the chance to do so, not to mention and also shopping online, usually at Amazon.com under the influence of Ambien. (J/K sort of..I do happen to purchase some weird crap at night it seems) Yes I guess you could either call me a cough potato or a tater tot. At the moment, my biggest addiction is finding free books for my Kindle Fire, that my wonderful husband bought for me recently. It all started with the Hunger Games. Now I own a collection of 200 books. I am not sure when I will ever get to reading all of those books, but when I was a teenager, I used to go to the library and check out 25 books every two weeks and read them and then return them in time and checkout another 25 books all summer long. So to say I love to read is an understatement! I am also glad that my love of reading has also passed down from myself to my daughter, as she loves to read as well.
So the basic's of my life are this: I'm a physically challenged Mom in my mid forties I am happily married to a wonderful man who is also physically challenged by the result of Thalidomide poisoning, which I am sure to write about more in the future. Not just because of him being a Thalidomide survivor, but also because before we met, he made some wonderful memories from traveling all over the world. Places like Thailand, Denmark, Canada, Mexico, Barbados, St. Lucia, Scotland, Wales, Amsterdam, etc.
We have one child who is the love of our lives and the joy in our hearts. She gives me such happiness everyday and I think we have a very good if not great relationship at this moment. I pray that it continues. I only write it that way, as I do realize that as she grows older and becomes more and more independent and more into her teenage years, our relationship might change. She is so funny, beautiful, kind, loving and so much more. I thank God as often as I can for the blessing that he gave to both myself and my husband. I am a Christian as you can already tell from the statement above that I believe in God. I have one sister, who is also the same type of dwarf as I am. She is older than I am by about 21 months. Her name is Theresa. I was born to two wonderful parents, who are/were both able bodied. like our daughter Misa who stands at a whopping 5'0". What can ya do right? Some people get all the height!
My Mom sadly passed away two weeks before Christmas in 2010. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss her or think about her. Because of the loss of my Mom, I am suffering from depression and sometimes I do have really bad days. I try not to give in too much into the depression and I am on some good medication at the moment thank God. My Dad is still living and lives not too far from me. He has his struggles in life and also misses Mom terribly. My sister does as well. We were all very close growing up and are still close now. I love my family with my whole heart.
Well that's about all I feel up to writing tonight. I'm still experimenting with Google blogger. Every-time I get on here, somethings changed and or added. But then again, I'm not on here as much as I should be, considering I have a blog, right? Well that's it for now. Until next time, which hopefully will be on a regular basis. TTFN (Ta Ta For Now - That's mainly for my dad who is my most faithful blog follower. Hi Daddy!)
