Why have you taken out my post? It was very helpful information and i assure atleast one person found it helpful unlike the rest of the comments on this web site. I’ll post it again. Fed up with obtaining low amounts of useless visitors to your website? Well i want to tell you about a fresh underground tactic which makes me personally $900 each day on 100% AUTOPILOT. I really could be here all day and going into detail but why dont you merely check their site out? There is a excellent video that explains everything. So if your seriously interested in making simple money this is the website for you. Auto Traffic Avalanche

So not only are they trying to submit comments that look real, but they’re trying to be insulting to the webmaster and other visitors as well.

Rude. :P

Then there’s stuff like: “Hello can I use some of the insight here in this entry if I link back to you?”

No. kthxbai.

Really, have to wonder why a “p3n!$ enlarger” site might have to use something I’ve posted. lol

Ahhhhh but, yes, thank you Akismet! :)

I am more than prepared, though. All I have to do is meet with my other photographer (maybe we will go equipment shopping) and buy another big box of AA batteries. At the last wedding, I started with a full camera battery and didn’t even get close to have to changing that, despite about 900 photos or so. I had to change my flash batteries once but I like to have more than just one set on hand!

The one thing that really makes me the most nervous, though, is the weather. This wedding is outside so i am really praying for no rain and for decent temperatures. So far we are looking at a 0% chance of precipitation, 5 mile and hour winds, high of 81° and mostly cloudy. In a word: AWESOME! I could stand for it to be a little cooler, but I would be happy with that weather for sure. I am also checking the weather forecasts obsessively from here on out. (Typical.)

I have lots of ideas in mind though and I hope that everyone is cooperative and happy to participate! Not so much the wedding party – they HAVE to be – but I have a couple of photos in mind that are going to require participation on the part of MANY more people! I know SOME people are going to be hesitant… ahem… but maybe I can throw some weight around. :P

In other news, my brother gave me a ton of stuff to sell for him. All video games and accessories or systems. Stuff that I guess he’s decided he doesn’t need anymore since he’s going away to college and is about to be a billion times busier. So far, sales on Ebay are going well on the systems. I get to keep $100 that he owes me and, he says, a commission of whatever percentage I want. haha! I won’t rip him off, though! I probably will keep very very little to nothing. Hopefully everything sells, though. The last thing I need around here is more useless stuff in the way.

We are still trying to get that “lower” room remodeled and it’s a real pain so far. In the past couple of years, it’s become a catch-all room, not to mention all of the candle stuff I keep in there. A lot of that is in the basement but not everything. I’m going to have to find a place to take more down there. Going to need to keep my wax up here though, I’m certainly not going to take 55 lb cartons downstairs only to have to carry it back up when I need it!

But we’re maybe finally getting some plans laid about some stuff so I really want to get this show on the road and it seems like everything depends on something else and I have yet to find where the chain starts. I can’t do A until I do B and I can’t do B until I do C and D which have to be done at the same time but have to be done after E, F, G, etc. If I could just find the perfect starting point, we’d be good to go!

For the last several years, I’ve had this irrational and unfounded fear I wouldn’t live to be 29. Long story. But I made it.

Steve took me out today for a late lunch. It was really nice especially when considering I wasn’t making a big deal out of anything and wasn’t planning on doing anything. My week’s been so busy, I was actually planning on just staying home. We ate Italian and it was, oh, so good, then went around to a few stores including one where we finally got my boys some new dress shirts for the wedding next month. Matching shirts, actually. Different ties, though. Not quite the colors I would have liked, but Steve is actually very picky! The pastel green that he has worn before… he’s only done that under duress.

And at current count there are no less than 80 wall posts from 80 friends wishing me a happy birthday on Facebook. Just really nice to know that people care enough to take even just a little bit of time out of their day…

Sunday night I went out with two of my sisters-in-law, my new one and Steve’s sister that’s getting married next month and moving several states away. We just did dinner and a movie again, but it’s great fun. Just last month we did this and saw Grown Ups (which we all three absolutely loved) but we figured we’d better have some time together while we can. This time we saw Dinner for Schmucks which was amusing. Heh, this is a lot of movie time for me, 3 this year, rofl! Usually I’m there once a year or less! For dinner, we went to a Cajun place that Steve is always saying we need to go to, it was pretty good! Was really nice before people started showing up, but then it got hot and stuffy in there pretty quickly. I wasn’t too happy with that since we’d already spent time in the heat timing the wedding processional at the outdoor venue, so I was very glad to move to the cool movie theater.

Monday morning all four of us went to a home of a fellow homeschooler and Steve helped them with a few household problems they were having including one no one was expecting. I reformatted a computer and got frustrated with satellite internet and printers and print sharing between Windows 7 and Vista! Never did get it working the way I wanted but my friend said it was ok, she’d just use a different printer for the one computer instead of sharing. Note to self, never buy a wireless printer, just too much of a pain in the butt!
Then that night was the meeting and those are always interesting, the after-party, always fun! I was proud of myself this time, for returning home at a decent hour. I left the restaurant at 10:30. I think the other ladies had to have been there at least until midnight! ;-)

Tuesday morning I had a doctor’s visit, just a check up. Joy. Then I went to one house and fixed a printer issue and upgraded Microsoft Office for them. It took entirely too long. I swear, Office is a bear to install, it’s such a pain. From there, to my friend’s house to teach a computer lesson, then home! And then (and then? and then?) Friends stopped by and dropped off a laptop for me to copy photos, went to their meeting, then came back bearing chocolate cake and milk and a couple hours of conversation. I was pretty embarrassed by the state of my house, but I haven’t been home to do anything! Hopefully I can do some catching up tomorrow though!

Today Steve went fishing and I took the kids to meet a friend/cousin at Subway. We got some food and took it to the park and sat and ate and talked while E played for about an hour and a half. It was great fun! I don’t get to see this friend often at all, she currently lives several states away. Good day.

Now? Kids are asleep and it’s My Name is Earl re-runs with S! That and working on the programs for my sister-in-law’s wedding and my other sister-in-law’s wedding book!

The last two nights, and now tonight, have been absolutely torture to get this child to sleep. I feel bad letting her cry at all, probably because it hasn’t really been an issue in the past, but I don’t know what to do with this kid! She’s really been throwing tantrums lately, too. She’s started throwing her arms straight up to try and get away from someone who’s holding her and a few minutes ago when I wouldn’t let her go, she turned around and clawed once at my face.

People would tell me that after having E and then everything I went through with K that I deserved a calm, quiet child… yeah, right! She’s just like E is, already! She’s 16 months (13 adjusted) and going on 30. :P

Edit: I give up. boo
