Busy

Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend! Ours was busy, kind of stressful and everything in between!! The usual

Well it’s finally time for me to get up the Think Blogger award that Carla forwarded to me. I should have done it sooner but least I’m doing it now! Some people that I would’ve tagged with this have already been tagged. This is the blog that tells all about it and how it works. You are supposed to tag 5 blogs that inspire/make you think.

Karen~Scraps of Mind I didn’t “know” Karen. She found her way to my blog and left some comments so I checked her blog out. She’s really got some great resources on there! She’s a scrapper/crafter and there’s several posts about that as well as tons and tons of other useful information about blogging, music all kinds of stuff! I’ve been meaning to link her here but I’m lazy Shocking but true Anyway check out her blog!!

Janna~ Janna’s Life Janna always has really cool links to different fun/useful tidbits She is honest and fun to read! Great photos, layouts, and her own designs on there too!!

Becky~Wandering with Webchyck ALWAYS makes me think, this lady She is very honest, doesn’t sugarcoat and well….she’s just Becky!! Luv her much In fact she might have already been tagged with this~I’m woefully behind in my blog reading/commenting.

Jess~A Mile In My Shoes I always read something interesting over here! Jess is moving from England (I believe) back to the US It’s neat for me to read how things are in a different country, to me a whole different world!

Petra~Pass The Dutch Petra started this little “blog community” idea. Kind of as a spin off to DST’s daily Blog Train thread. She wanted to get a little group together to check in on each other and read/comment on each other’s blogs, that’s how I found Jess’s blog Great idea!! Takes someone with a lot of heart to try and bring more people together in this HUGE digi community!

So there ya have it! Speaking of blogs….I stumbled on this guy’s site and blog over the weekend. He is hilarious! I seriously LOL reading some of his entries!! He runs a news site and his writing style and things he’s done had me spewing my drink on my keyboard!!! You’d really miss out not to take a read!! Mike Davidson. OMG~he’s written a lot about MySpace and I almost pee’d myself when I read THIS post about what happened with his MySpace template and John McCain!!!!!! Then I saw THIS!! Playing with the African E-mail scams!! Seriously!! You really can’t go wrong with Mike’s blog Just click on Humor and make sure you don’t take a drink of anything while reading!!

Back to the weekend. My dad and stepmom came to go to my nephew’s graduation. I knew they would, but they hadn’t called me by Thurs. so I started calling around to try and find out when they were coming. Sigh. They have a very bad habit of either calling the night before they come or just showing up. My house is (correction WAS) a sty so I needed to know just how much time I had to clean. That way I’d know if I had time to REALLY clean or just do the duck/swipe/hide thing. Turns out I had time to do some real cleaning (kitchen, bathroom, living room) and ended up with the duck/swipe/hide technique for the rest

Anyway when I spoke to my dad on the phone we started talking about my brother and my family not getting invited. Sigh. Dad is….well?? Dad. He made the comment that he couldn’t go to his grave not knowing what is wrong between me and my brother. I told him didn’t think there was any danger of that happening quite yet, that I figured he had at least a few years left!! Course he didn’t find that funny at all and said since he’s so old it could be tomorrow. OH BROTHER…. He begged me not to send the e-mail I had so carefully planned out, said to give him 2 weeks to badger **cough** I mean ask my brother repeatedly (that sounds a little better) what the prob. is. Ok dad. But for good measure and because I can I’m sending the e-mail!! I’m over it but need for Mr. Stuckupedness to know how I feel. In the meantime I found my nephew’s MySpace page. I opened a MySpace of my own and if I can ever, EVER figure out how to customize it the way I want I’m going to contact him through it. Course that might send him into panic mode because after all what 17yr. old wants to have their aunt especially one they don’t know well, find their MySpace?? lol I’ll link him here and maybe he’ll think I’m cool enough who knows?? I do know that I’m tons cooler (really no comparison at all there) than my brother (his father) so maybe it’ll all turn out

Now the QOTC is about finished!! Here is my last page. Unless I make it in to the finals anyway.

You can vote for me by clicking on the page As always a huge thanks to anyone that does vote for me!! I’ve only voted 1x. Sigh. Guess I really need to get out the debit card and VOTE this round!! I’d love to win this thing but if I don’t that’s OK too. A moment of disappointment and I’ll be fine Guess I sound like so many others when I say that this contest has been a great experience but it HAS really!! I feel like it got me out of the year long funk I’d been in and kind of make to “ME”? If that makes any sense?? lol! Not to mention I’ve got some pages that I really like for the 1st time in quite awhile in my gallery

Well time to get back to something fun Trying to figure out how to customize MySpace! I only have 3 days counting today till the children are home for summer….ACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh if anyone knows how to figure out the coding for MySpace?? Let me know will ya?? Please? lol

BTW~~ Anyone I tagged who uses Blogger.  Sigh.  I tried to go to your pages and leave a comment but this is a bad day for Blogger and me I guess!  It won’t let me leave comments.  AGAIN.  This happens to me a lot.  Just wanted to let you know if you come read this, I’m trying!!  Really trying to comment on your blogs!!  I swear!
