Old School Slid Show

Wednesday..Jul 08 2009

I found this folder in my Fotki account and decided I needed my friends and family to see them as well because it brought back some good memories. Olivia was so tiny and walking, she had no hair for so long. Tianna and her gap tooth smile and her beautiful little face. Roy's awesome Mom who has since passed away and who we all miss so much. My Mom and my sister and my brother's baby Ryan who is a big boy now. Enjoy the show! Olivia looking like an evil munchkeke. My sisters baby Isabel with all her black hair sticking straight up. It's down almost to her butt today and she has a new sister who is just as cute.
So much has changed in the past 3 years. It's really unbelievable because three years is really not that long. In those pictures I was still on welfare staying at home with my kids and Roy was sooo skinny and so young looking. I think he looks better now. :)
Now we live in a beautiful home and we both have good jobs. Olivia is 4, Connor is 12 and still a sweetheart. Tianna is 10 and a wild child as always but so smart and funny. I'm making 40 grand a year and no longer qualify for food stamps. Haha! I'm still complaining as always. I need to make more! The day I'm satisfied with where I'm at is the day I die. I'm always trying to make more money..figure out a new way to make money online, sell avon, whatever..something. That's just me.
I think I'm happy. I feel loved and I know my kids are awesome. I love my man and I know he loves me. Life is good today.





These pictures are REALLY OLD school- Some of these are even pre-Roy and we've been together now for I think 7 years..anyway Enjoy!

Doodle Days

Friday..Jun 26 2009

I'm getting my Golden Doodle puppy today and I'm beyond excited. I've been researching them online and search through hell and high water for the perfect puppy at the perfect price. Most Doodles whether they be Labradoodles (Half Lab/Half Poodle) or GoldenDoodle (half Golden Retriever/Half Poodle) cost anywhere between 1,200 to 2,500 depending on the breeder and the location it seems.

I found a breeder in Oregon http://www.thegoldendoodles.net/ which is an hour away and who had three Goldendoodle puppies 10 weeks old. The price for these has gone down from $875 to $500! So, I jumped on it.

I picked my favorite puppy and she's bringing him to my house tonight... and I can't wait. I have Doodle on the brain. I think they are the cutest dogs I've ever seen and their supposed to be extremely smart, loving and the best part..NO to very LOW SHEDDING! semi Hypo-allergenic dogs. Can't beat that.

So here's my puppy...





He'll look like this eventually....

This is a Standard mix. So he's HUGE! Mine is mixed with a medium sized poodle but his Dad was a standard. Mine should be a medium sized dog.(I hope) haha!
I actually had a standard poodle growing up and he was half human and an amazing friend. He was HUGE.

This kid is drugged and hilarious.




This song is genius. It's actually catchy and if you don't pay attention to the lyrics you'd think it was just another Justin Timberlake song. Hilarious. Justin Timberlake is so talented...is there anything he can't do? except maybe...pop Britney's cherry? Haha! I guess that's debatable.

A short story...

Saturday..Apr 18 2009

I've decided to use my journal to try my hand at writing a short story. Writing in short chapter posts that should in the end tell a story. I'm doing it this way because I think it will be fun and people might even enjoy it. If not just skip it. If you do enjoy it then let me know.
I'm an AVID reader and I enjoy writing, "obviously" considering I've been writing in this journal for going on 8 years or something like that. I'm just too lazy to check my profile.
I think I write well enough to get a story across and entertain people but I'm no pro. So please understand I'm not trying to be and just enjoy the ideas and storyline. My grammar is far from perfect and don't even get me started on punctuation. I love a REALLY long sentence and never seem to know where to add comas and period. Eh who cares. I can at the very least spell pretty good. You know... my spelling has improved one hundred fold since I started writing in this journal 8 years ago. I think having a journal has helped me in more ways then I can count actually and I'll never forget all the good time and friends I've met on LJ. LJ rules forever and old school LJ was the best. I've grown away from LJ over the past few years but I'll never stop completely. :) Enjoy the story. I plan on posting the first chapter later today.


Update 5/19/09: as you can see I have yet to start my story. It's still on my list of things too do though and I will get around to it..

timbap is a digital DJing system that frees the DJ from keyboard, mouse and laptop screen. Both selecting music and scratching etc is achieved by simply manipulating the standard DJ turntable.

Making extra money...

Wednesday..Apr 08 2009

Hey Ladies!
I recently started looking for a second income..something I could do on the side to make a little extra cash preferably with minimal effort. I started looking online for something that I could sell online and possibly off as well and I came across a few different things including Amway which was a trip to say the least. I met a very yuppie couple that had been "assigned" to me at a local Starbucks and really they should award these people with a bullshitters of the year award. They told me a whole lot without telling me a single damn thing. From what I got out of it the goal with Amway is to buy their products get people to sign up underneath you and make your "upline" money and "eventually' I would have my own down line that I would make money off of.
What I got out of it is that you don't really sell anything.. you just buy the things you'd "usually" buy through Amway (bullshit) and then get more people to buy stuff from Amway and eventually you would make money. It was all a very hard sell and in the end I never called them back. The funniest and strangest thing is when I left our meeting the woman gave me a package with a big catalog of Amway products and affiliate products, a few samples and a few "motivational" DVD's. She was like this is a gift and some information. Later when I didn't call them back she called up asking when she could come over and pick it all back up! haha! I was like are you freaking kidding me??? Roy got the call but can you believe that crap? Some gift. She never told me if I didn't sign up with their cult I had to expect another visit from her to pick up my gift. LOL! No Thank you. I'd really rather not see you again.

So, check off Amway.

I decided to sell Avon and so far so good. It's a straight forward product and people love Avon believe it or not. There is no scam to the business and it's fun. It takes minimal effort and you make %50 for the first 6 campaigns. Each campaign last 2 weeks. They give you a website and you don't HAVE to sign up anyone under you if you don't want to. You don't HAVE to through parties, attend meetings or really do anything you don't want to do. Can't beat that. The way to go though is to get people to visit your website online and buy from there. Getting people to sign up under you is also the best way to make money but I liked that there is no pressure to do that if I don't want to.

I went to Walgreens last night to buy hair gel and holy crap makeup is expensive. Avon has the best prices on makeup and skin care products. Honestly I was blown away at the difference. You can get lip gloss that costs 6 bucks in the stores for 99 cents from Avon. The girl who signed me up was sweet and i only had to pay 10 bucks to start and she gave me all my brochures and order forms and everything I need for the next 3 campaigns.

Speed

Sunday..Mar 01 2009

How fast is your internet connection/download speed? Take a speed test at dslreports.com and then post your results here (copy and paste the little code snippet it generates into a comment).
Since it doesn't say who your internet provider is just include it in your comment. Pretty please? I'm just curious. I have Comcast and I think I have awesome speeds compared to what they used to be with my old provider. Now when I download my tv shows and movies my download speed reaches up to 100-600 kb/s and before I was lucky if I hit 30 kb/s with my Quest connection..maybe I had something set up wrong because it seems like too big of a difference to me..
I just downloaded season 1&2 of Dead like Me and it's freaking hilarious. Highly recommended.
I've been downloading a lot..recently..House s5, Freaks and Geeks, Lost, Twilight, Rome, City of Embers, Quantum Solace, Gran Torino, Ghost Town, 7 pounds, Willow, Iron Man, Lord of the Rings, Prince Caspian, Mirrors, Pretty Persuasion, Purple Violets, Zack and Mira Make a Porno, Death Race, Heroes..etc

Current mood: nervous.
