Direct from Tampa, FL Embracing my geekness. Yes, I’m a nerd. Posting daily life and any adventures along the way. I love to travel, scuba, motorcycle ride, meet new people, watch movies, and all sorts of other varied activities. I am also addicted to crimes shows and crime authors, especially ones with very strong female leads/main characters.Tumblr (3.0; @kristinschmidt)http://schmidtandgiggles.com/<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/980af32beeb2fdd142e61a770e5c1c7f/tumblr_mmx3fdXF9L1rplw5uo1_400.png"/><br/><br/><p> <a onmouseover="this.style.background='none';this.style.border='none'" style="border: 0; text-decoration: none; font-size: 20px; font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;" href="http://getglue.com/stickers/abc/greys_anatomy_perfect_storm?s=tus&ref=serenityinall">I just unlocked the Grey’s Anatomy: Perfect Storm sticker on GetGlue</a> </p> <p style="margin-top: 10px;"> <span style="border: 0; text-decoration: none; font-size: 12px; font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;"> 1812 others have also unlocked the Grey’s Anatomy: Perfect Storm sticker on GetGlue.com </span> </p> <p style="margin-top: 10px;"> Who’s life is in jeopary?

No matter what I do, my life has pretty much turned into a financial nightmare. And though I now finally have a job again and a paycheck coming in again (for which I am VERY thankful for), I just can’t seem to catch a break here financially. I can’t even breathe. I find too that I am really pissed about this as well. Oh well. I just keep plugging away here which I will probably do until the day I die - plugging away simply to survive day to day. Ugh. Just when I think I may see a sliver of daylight, of hope - BAM - something else happens unexpected that requires the money representing that sliver of hope. Got only yourself too really. I would really just like to be able to breathe again….. just a little anyway…. please.</p>http://schmidtandgiggles.com/post/50448935067http://schmidtandgiggles.com/post/50448935067Tue, 14 May 2013 18:18:28 -0400moneyfinanceslifealonesolo life<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/3f9afca9db686a61fa50004919788f26/tumblr_mmnojiUhmo1rplw5uo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Peacock in the city - had his feathers fanned til I took the pic - lol! #tampa #carrollwood</p>http://schmidtandgiggles.com/post/50201828476http://schmidtandgiggles.com/post/50201828476Sat, 11 May 2013 18:45:00 -0400tampacarrollwoodpeacockiphone photo<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/f79da02d3faf36a54b83e2abdec8de2a/tumblr_mmjjpgNfqU1rplw5uo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Clean air fair #downtown #tampa</p>http://schmidtandgiggles.com/post/50021236989http://schmidtandgiggles.com/post/50021236989Thu, 09 May 2013 13:10:28 -0400downtowntampa<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/b621747e443d8db0ddf8e18bcff1841b/tumblr_mmjjofduIW1rplw5uo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>#downtown #tampa</p>http://schmidtandgiggles.com/post/50021204463http://schmidtandgiggles.com/post/50021204463Thu, 09 May 2013 13:09:51 -0400downtowntampa<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/0c4e032648c5c7627be41fdc7c2b12b8/tumblr_mh5wxbHfgK1qc76t1o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>I wish I lived here….</strong></p> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://woodendreams.tumblr.com/post/49710573628/by-stephen-oachs">woodendreams</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p> (by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/stephenoachs/3029913655/in/photostream">Stephen Oachs</a>)</p> </blockquote>http://schmidtandgiggles.com/post/49713288060http://schmidtandgiggles.com/post/49713288060Sun, 05 May 2013 16:17:00 -0400wishesnaturephotolake tahoenevada<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/6a70e161214b5c44e60bd89ac3914c51/tumblr_mlw3c9roF31qc76t1o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://woodendreams.tumblr.com/post/48969704664/by-jordan-ek">woodendreams</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>(<a href="http://500px.com/photo/16021061?page=3">by Jordan Ek</a>)</p> </blockquote>http://schmidtandgiggles.com/post/49703183090http://schmidtandgiggles.com/post/49703183090Sun, 05 May 2013 14:12:05 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/18ad935811bd30eb3e9d5353e40f3a49/tumblr_mmac7eQsdm1rplw5uo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Live from the Brooksville Blueberry Festival w/ @mizannabelle</p>http://schmidtandgiggles.com/post/49608016137http://schmidtandgiggles.com/post/49608016137Sat, 04 May 2013 13:50:00 -0400flblueberrybrooksvillefestival<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/10e4920cb32643bebc41f7b0828d7f89/tumblr_mlzs17xAXS1rplw5uo1_400.png"/><br/><br/><p> <a onmouseover="this.style.background='none';this.style.border='none'" style="border: 0; text-decoration: none; font-size: 20px; font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;" href="http://getglue.com/stickers/abc/revenge_identity?s=tus&ref=serenityinall">I just unlocked the Revenge: Identity sticker on GetGlue</a> </p> <p style="margin-top: 10px;"> <span style="border: 0; text-decoration: none; font-size: 12px; font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;"> 2620 others have also unlocked the Revenge: Identity sticker on GetGlue.com </span> </p> <p style="margin-top: 10px;"> What is in Emily’s future?
