Anyone else in the South US (actually all over the eastern US at this point) as sick of the storms and rain as I am? It seems like day after day for weeks now there has been nothing but hot and humid days with tropical storms, hurricanes and thunder storms thrown in… With nothing but the same (well no hurricanes so far but I am keeping my figers crossed) in the forcast for atleast a week.

It is so frustrating. Between having to shut down my computer because the storms are really bad, and not having electricity it seems I have no time to do the things I want to, like helping on the forums, answering the tons of email questions I get… or help with the Live Shops area, which is what I am going to go do as soon as I finish writing this. We are finally between storms which means I have a little bit of time to help out.

I had about 2 hours online time yesterday and spent that updating my site Home and Garden by adding a cool Amazon.com affiliate thing I stumbled across while trying to answer a question someone had emailed me about. I need about a weeks worth of clear skys to be able to catch up on all of the stuff I need to do though.

Someone send me some sun please!

Hi Hi

I have been so busy lately I have had hardly any time to post, or help answer questions or add Live Shops. Being busy is a good thing, but oh man…. never enough hours in the day I guess.

Funny thing is when you have nothing to do, nothing comes your way. When you have a full “To Do” list, seems like everyone wants something from you. I have been helping a couple of people with websites. One I am really proud of, not only because I think it looks cool (which it does) but because the guy is really nice and he got royally screwed by someone he had hired to do his site (found him on a reputable site too… what a shame) and I was able to help him out. Makes me feel really good inside to be able to help people expecially such a nice one like he is. If you like perfumes, oils, bath gels and so on you should check out the site. Fragrant Body Oilz. He sent me a bunch of stuff and it all smells wonderful. My house smells great now… and so do I. Gotta love it.

So finished his site, and one other… hoping to have another done by this weekend. Then maybe, just maybe I will have time for myself. lol Crossing my fingers. I am trying to set aside about an hour a day to help enter the Live Shops which is a huge list of sites but avoisin and Modom have been staying right on top of things and working on them hard.

Everyone on the team is working very hard and I hate feeling like a slacker. This week is just a really hard one on me. My husband is out of the state working and I am what I would guess you could call handicapped (just waiting for dang ssi to say so too) and have to take care of the house and the dogs on top of trying to help people… in between bouts with migraines, pain and the summer weather in the south with the storms that pop up out of nowhere so I have to shut off the computer even if I am feeling ok and it makes me crazy grrrr Ok, deep breathe. Needless to say I can’t wait until he is back so he can do the things I can’t/really shouldn’t be doing and I can get back to doing the things I can and I enjoy when I am feeling up to doing them.

Wow, my first rant. Hope it was kind of mellow and not too bad. I hate ranting and complaining… rambling on, now that is something I am good at. Guess it is kind of the same thing.

Hope ya’all have a great 4th if you are in the states and a great weekend if not.

Ok, I miss the 70’s/80’s. I admit it. I have been watching “Hit me baby one more time”. It’s a show that has old bands playing their biggest hit, then they play a new/modern song. The audience vote along with people going to a website on who they think was the best… each band has a charity and the winners charity gets a donation. Whole concept is pretty cool.

First thing I think when I see these people is OMG they are so old. Then I remember I am old now too and get kind of depressed lol. But then I start rocking out because they sound as good as they did back when they were huge. Some better than others ofcourse but I am thoroughly impressed with them all. Tonight is a repeat and I still can’t seem to get myself to change the channel.

Anyhow… I have been working on going through the Live Shops that are waiting to be listed, as often as I can, along with other team members. We seem to be making really good progress. Lots of great websites are now linked so if you haven’t checked out that area you should. Live Shops

Guess I should go cook dinner. The husband is starting to whine about being hungry. :O It’s as if he expects to be fed every day.

Until next time… Bye!
