Well here we are...in Ohio for 6-9 weeks for Drew's job. Made it here safe and sound.
I dont care for the hotel that much that we are staying in. The people who work here can barely speak english. I'm sorry if it offends anyone, but if you live in America, most people speak english, so if you are going to work over here, please be fluent in speaking english and the head nods and mmmhmmm's and blank stares dont really get you anywhere with me. It just frusterates me all the more and then I get pissy. I cant understand you, and chances are you cant understand me either! English is the only language I speak and will ever speak so I expect you to know some english. Not all americans know how to speak all languages. Geeze! I mean if it were me and I went to another part of the country, I would try to learn that language because chances are I would have to speak and interact with these people in that country!
Oh well at least we are only here for 6-9 weeks and I suppose I can tolerate it til then.

Before we left my cousin and his fiance came up to Sturgeon Bay to visit Drew and I for the night. We made supper for them and then we went bowling and went to Vans. Vans is a bar and we were there until bar close. I wasn't expecting to stay out so late due to the fact that we had a long drive ahead of us. Oh well, we made it, we were quite crabby towards eachother, Drew and I, but we went to bed at 9 pm last night and got some sleep. I feel much better and Im sure Drew does to. When we gets home from work later today he should be in a much better mood towards me and same with me.
It was really nice to see Rob and Melissa and have a night out with them. It was really fun. Drew and I hadn't been out in a long time so we enjoyed our night.

The final season of the premiere of LOST starts tonight. I am so excited and I cant wait to see it. I have to check the times of when it starts and also IDOL. Im afraid its going to be on at the same time, I guess I will have to miss IDOL to watch LOST, Im not missing that show. I've waited long enough for it to return and Im so excited that Feb. 2nd is finally here so I can watch it again. :) Yay!

Well I suppose, I have tons of email to get through and I would like to do some pixeling at some point today if I get the time. I gotta hop in the shower and get my day started.

Later taters!

I need to vent, piss and moan, so here goes...

I just love how this certain someone (not mentioning any names) goes and joins this group called 'Hate when people talk shit, but then act like your friend' This certain someone I know talks all kinds of shit about this other certain someone. In fact pretty much hates this person and would probably beat their ass. But then when we go out - oh we are the bestest of friends, awww look at all of our pictures of us smiling together...oh we are just too cute and dont look like we hate eachother at all...I love hangin with you. Im sorry, but I have a problem with this. Why? Well if I hated someone so friggen much, I would not pretend to be nice and be their friend. I wouldn't sit there and act like I am their friend and take all these friggen pictures like we are the bestest of friends. If I hate someone that much I just avoid ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to do with that person period. PERIOD!
I am so sick of fake fucking people and people who act like they are your friend, but talk all this big shit behind your back. Gawd I hate people like that with a passion. If I'm going to talk shit, then I have my reasons and of course its because I dont like a person.

And then I go and join this other group and this so called person joins the exact same group! Hahahaha what a fucking hypocrit!

Then the other day I make a post saying how I am so sick and tired of seeing this "pity party" shit all over my FB. My husband leaves the same status cuz he is sick of it to. I'm sorry, but seriously this pity party crap has got to stop and all your little whining and bitching and complaining and getting everyone else to join in your little pity party. You sound so pathetic...grow up!!! Almost every day it seems to be a new gripe or a new whine. If your life is that shitty then get it together and fix it. No one wants to be friends with a fricken whiner and someone who's always looking for a pity party!

*SCREAMS*

There I think Im done.

So tomorrow we go back into H & R Block to get our taxes done. They FINALLY showed up and its about time. We need the money soooooo bad right now to pay off these bills and get caught up with rent. Not to mention we need food in this house. Our shit is bare and I dont have a clue as to what Im going to make for supper the next few nights. I swear this is the worse its been for us. We cant even access our unemployment because Drew put it into our joint account so the bank wouldn't touch it and take it out for his truck payment. Well that doesn't do us any good because we cant find our checkbook and our debit card expired. I had to call to get a new card and then they tell me that it will be here in 10-12 days. Hey lady...we dont have that kind of time and kinda need that money like NOW.

Im just getting so sick of this and next month or so I think I am just going to go out and try and find myself a job somewhere along the penninsula if I can. If someone will hire me...thats if we are still living here in Stugeon Bay or have moved out. I think we should just move out so we dont have to put up with our neighbor Dan anymore and our crappy landlord. A greedy landlord that lied to us and told us a bullshit story just to get someone in here to give him rent every month! I didn't like our last landlord...but shit..he's sounding alot better than Bill right about now!

*end of rant*

Good-night everyone

I finally have enough funds to spoil myself with a membership I've had my eye on for a long time and have been wanting to join...oh...for like a year or more now, plus a little extra left over to set aside for anything I may need to buy from Rosey Posey Pixels. I'm still hoping that my little bug I put in Jen's ear works!!! I hope she comes out with some more Buddacup bear outlines. :) It seems rediculous that I have to be the one to purchase my OWN birthday gift...really...c'mon. What happened to the days when someone else would buy a gift for you?

I dont want to ask Drew as I know he would probably say no anyways and for the simple fact is that our tax return is being filed. We're waiting for more info to come through so H & R Block can finish it. Then when we get it back, it will all be gone before you know it. Money spent here, money spent there, we owe money here, we owe money there. I doubt we will have anything left over to go out and do something together to celebrate our birthdays together. What a shame.

I got a nice little surprise from Rae Rae in my email. She was so sweet and so kind to email me and wish me a happy birthday to me as well as to my site and then told me to go over to her pixel shop, The Limited, and pick out any tube set that I wanted. So I did just that and I picked out these really cute Larissa teddy bears. Seriously she is the only one in the pixel community that was so kind to do something like this and I like never get anything from anyone or no one ever seems to acknowledge me, but they can all acknowledge everyone else. She really made my day and put a smile on my face. :) I'm not trying to sound like I'm complaining and that I should get free pixels and whatever, but seriously to the small insignificant people it would be nice to get noticed once in a while.

So I opened up my birthday site earlier this morning, and so far only 2 people have stopped by. I even had asked for donations from a few different people who were not listed on DRU...and to get what? Crapped on. Throwing excuses left and right as to why they cant donate even a little something towards my event to help make it a bit more special, and maybe to see someone else listed on the donations list than the same people over and over and over...who Im sure everyone already has a membership to anyways. I even told them that I would be more than happy to donate back to their event and I do all the time to everyone else. When people email me and ask me if they can use my donation on DRU I let them, but when I need them, its an excuse, its a no. Well the hell with them, see if I ever donate to them again if they cant return a little favor!

I want to sign up for the secret cupid forum, but I have a feeling that 1. I will be too lazy to make anything, 2. My secret cupid will end up like my secret Santa. Maybe I will just go ahead and sign up.

I have to re-attend another webinar for Absolutess. Its for 1 hour, 5-6 p.m. and its a refresher class for all new people that get hired on. I just took that program off my computer and now I have to reinstall it again. Ugh...and not to mention I need to clean up this PC and make more room on it. I have waaaaay too many graphics on it right now. I need to go through all my pixel memberships and delete all the stuff I have duplicates of as well.
Hopefully I get an idea as to when I can start this job. Would be nice to know since I've just been hanging in limbo waiting for everything. *sigh*

Well I think I'm out for the night. Got a stomach ache and I'm tired, so Ima head off to bed.
Good-night everyone

What is with everyone coming on this show dressed like a moron and just acting stupid? You think that will get you exposure on t.v? Seriously? Acting like a moron and looking like one wont get you anywhere...especially on American Idol. Granted we will all see it as you are on national television...but do you seriously think you are going to get a contract looking like a dumbass? Grow up people, its no longer funny.

Amy Lang...OMG what was that? LOL

Angela...you go girl...you got a dream...dont give up!

Brian (the creepy army guy)...sounded like an evil witch!!!! OMG I laughed so effing hard!!! Who has a singing voice like that? Whats with all the tip toeing? Hahahaha...omg..hahahah relaxing your thoughts in a bubble bath....hahahahaha

Harold Davis...you suck! SHUT UP! Wow what a way to butcher Usher's song. And now you are going to cry like a little bitch...puh-leeeaaase.

Dude there was a girl trying out from Fond du Lac Wisconsin??? Holy shit...COOOOOL!!!! My little sister lives in Fondy for those of you that are wondering why I'm spazzing...and from where we live its probably about a 3 hour drive...so its close to home and fun to see someone who is so close to home auditioning on IDOL.

Paige...I dont think your that great honey, sorry :(

Thats a wrap folks! See you tomorrow night!

I dont understand why I should have to re-submit my sigtag orders AGAIN when I had filled out the form CORRECTLY in the first place!!! Word for word, the name and ID of the tag. Why are you emailing me and telling me you went through all your folders and you cant find the tags I ordered??
#1- as a site owner you should pretty much know the name of your tag already...your the creator..duh! I have over 100 tags in my members area and when my members request something, I know what it is and what folder its in.
#2- even if you have trouble locating a tag...why not pull up your own site and look for it there so you know EXACTLY which one it is??? Even I have had to do this in case I had renamed a tag and forgot to rename it in my folder.
What? Are you too friggen lazy to log into your own site to check?? And you've "sifted through your folder a NUMBER of times"
Forget it...if I'm being too much trouble, Im not even going to request and re-do it when I did it RIGHT the first time.
Shit like that just really irks me.

Another episode of American Idol finished. LOL...seriously, why do some of these people think they can sing?
I wasn't able to post my thoughts and opionions on tonight's show. Drew was using the laptop so I couldn't sit there with it. :P Next week!

Late last night I had the urge to go on a sigtag requesting spree. So all my memberships that have tags I requested a bunch. I should be getting lots of deliveries in my inbox soon. :)
I sent out day 1 of my theme week. 3 whole people. :( Sad. Very sad. Im going to try and make it really special for all 3.
I'd like to get my birthday event site put together in the next few days so i dont have to worry about. Im hoping I can raise a few more funds and get myself the membership I've been wanting for like ever, but it always costs so dam much. Geesh!

Next week is my birthday, and tomorrow is hubby's birthday. :) My old man. :P Jasmine Becket-Griffith came out with these AWESOME faerie plates. OMG, did I mention they are AWESOME??? I soooo wish I had the money to buy me at least one of them. HERE is the first set. She is so talented and I want to hang these plates all over my bare ass walls.

Anyone remember My Little Pony? Yea of course you do. Every little girl that was born in the 80's had these! In fact I think I still have all my ponies somewhere stashed in storage at my parents house. I found this awesome goth pony...oh how I want her. LOL I would never play with her, just put her in my shelf and look at how cool she is. :)

and this..OMG...the design on her wings and body! *covets*


I'm going to go play on facebook for a little bit and then finish up shading this really cute teddy bear set that I'm working on.

Good-night everyone!

So he were are again ladies and gents...American Idol season 9, 2010!!!! Are you as excited as I am? Here's to hoping we can find the next Chris Daughtry, David Cook, or Kelly Clarkson!!! Be sure to tune in to my blog every week to hear my thoughts and opinions on the show and the contestants. :)

The first girl who started the show...OMG...who does that? Jumps up and down in the bathroom and tells yourself how "awesome" you are??? And honey, I'm not sitting here sayin that I'm hotter than a bag of chips, but if you have a spare tire around your waste, please cover that up...thats just not sexy at all to have all that floppin up and down. Gross. Tone up that tummy and get yourself a vocal coach instead of relying on a video game to tell you if you are talented or not. Puh...leease!

The girl with the down syndrome brothers...beautiful voice!!!! I wasn't sure what to expect...nicely done!

Derrick Hilton- LOL OMG whats with the different voice changes?

The anime freak...I think I've said it all. O.o For some reason she reminded me of Napolean Dynamite. Anyone else?

Andrew Fenlon- What a jackass!!! Lose that atttiude, whats your problem?? Go Kara...you told him and Simon too!!! This guy totally seems like an angry stalker type...creeper. Hit the road Jack!

Tyler Grady- OMG!!! Whaaaaaaaat? I would have NEVER in my life pictured a voice like that coming out of him!!! WOW! I could see him as one of the next guys all the girls will swoon over. I'd love to see how far Tyler gets in this competition.

The waitress from Boston- You think you are better than some of the people who have been on IDOL before, what are you tone deaf sweetheart??

Mike Davis (Codzilla)- Another great voice...well done Mike!

Katie Stevens- WOW! OMG Girl!!!! You give me the tingles up and down my spine...BEAUTIFUL voice!!!! Great audition and I hope you go far!!! You deserve it!

Leah- Beautiful voice, but not a favorite of mine.

That a wrap folks! Tune in tomorrow night!

I need $25 more bucks *sigh* If only that would magically appear in my paypal account, or if 2 more people would sign up for my theme week. I really want to join Fantastic Pixel Dreams and then I think I will be set for memberships for quite a while ;)

Anyone want to send me an early birthday present? My birthday is next week :)

Speaking of birthdays, Drew's birthday is on Thursday. :) And I should really get a site together quick to hold a birthday event...my birthday and well my websites birthday. It will finally be turning 2 years old. :) I cant believe I've had my site for that long already. :) Im so proud of myself and everything I've done. :) I should go through and sort out all my donations that I had kept when I wanted to hold my fall event. That never went through since we left Florida at the time I wanted to have it, and when we got home, no internet for a while of course.

So much to do today and Im too lazy to do it. I need to clean up my house a bit, finish the last load of laundry, Id like to get my bed sheets washed, and I have to fill sigtag orders. Hopefully I will hear from Daisy today to see if I passed my test. It would be nice to know so I can start working. I have everything I need so far.

I think I'm going to go lay down for a while...I have NOT been to bed yet and Im starting to get that sick feeling :( My body is telling me I need rest. So if I'm scarce today you'll all know why.

I'm trying out a new app. on facebook called Island Life. It looks pretty cool. The graphics look real instead of cartoony-like. The only thing I dont like about it is how fast the crops wither and I have no neighbors. :( Not sure yet if this game will be a keeper or not.

Still haven't heard back from Daisy, she was the class teacher for Absolutess when I did my webinar. I submitted my tests. Im sure she will get back to me and she's probably just a busy woman and she hosts lots of webinars as well as working for the company. I must be patient, and I do hope I passed my tests. You had to pass with a 75%...which I think I did...but Im not going to count my chickens before they hatch.

I got myself another new blog layout. :) Thank you Sunny for helping me...now I have Robert plastered all over my blog. :) hehe

okie dokie, well Im off to finish harvesting all my crops, maybe make a new graphic or 2 and watch some tv with Drew before bed.

Good-night everyone

My neighbor just fell down the stairs.
I first heard an "AHHHHHHHHH" and then it was followed by a huge tumbling CRASH!!! Here's to hoping the S.O.B. broke his neck on the way down. Muhahahahahaha

Yes I know its a terrible thing to say and I shouldn't wish death on anyone and I should have good karma and all..but for anyone who knows what kind of obnoxious child my neighbor is..you'd all wish the same. My husband and I sit here and about 2-4 nights out of the week we have to listen to him blaring his music to the point its making our walls and floor vibrate. Then he threatens us through the walls and screams and to top it all off he will get up for no reason at all and start hitting and kicking our walls and it will go on for hours.

We never bother him and we always keep the noise level down over here, so why should we have to deal with this??? And of course my asshole of a landlord wont do jack shit about it because he gets his rent check every month. Greedy S.O.B.

So Im working on a new tube set. Its a cute little Ravyn doll base set from Tina. Im not going to have it released for a while as Im still working on it and plan on making props and many different poses and outfits. Going to take alot of work, but it will pay off in the end. ;)

Back to facebook for a bit and then back to pixeling before I go to bed for the night.
Later!

So I treated myself today to a new membership. :) I haven't treated myself to anything new lately, so I figured today would be a good day for that. ;) Now I'm just waiting for all the files to download so I can extract them all and start getting creative again. :)

It's a lazy day around the house here today. I dont feel like doing much, I'm pretty tired actually, didn't get much sleep last night. Hubby didn't get much sleep either and he went back to bed for a while to take a nap.

Spaghetti for supper tonight...haven't had that in a while. Id like to start cooking soon, but I have to wait for my dishes to get done. Drew said he would do them. I might as well do them and get them out of my way since I need the sink to drain the noodles and he's back in bed. Doesn't look like they will get done unless I do them. *sigh*

I have to work on my Absolutess test tonight at some point and then I want to work on making some new pixels. I've been procrastinating too much...*blames facebook for it*

I need a new recipe to try out, something I can use ground beef in...anyone got any ideas?? I've been looking up recipes, but nothing has sparked my interest so far. I think I will make stuffed peppers again and get my mother's recipe...her stuffed peppers are awesome and I've only ever made them once before. I think I should make them again...hubby loved my stuffed peppers and the things I need to make them with doesn't cost much at the grocery store. I think I'll make those next week...maybe for his birthday as a special treat. :) I think he will like that. :)

Anyways, I'm out..have a great weekend everyone!

So I started working on a theme week and I called it "Valentine Cuties" and at the current moment, I feel like..why do I even bother anymore?? What is it that everyone wants? What is it..high end pixels or what? Does my stuff really look all that bad? I might not be perfect at everything, but I'd like to think that I create some beautiful tags and I shade pretty decently to...especially from stuff that Ive seen and people just dont know how to shade at all.
I've had 2 people sign up so far and one girl gets in free. I haven't even sent out a paypal invoice to the other 2 ladies. If only 3 sign up for my theme week, Im just going to cancel it. Its just not worth my time and energy. I'll just add the stuff to my members area and share it with them. It will be an update and at least my members appreciate everything I make for them. I just dont know what it is anymore that people are looking for. Whatever. It was even priced that high for whats all included and I even included a few "as is" items...for those certain people always looking for a bunch of "as is" stuff to add to their members area so they dont have to do any work themselves.

Anyways...I am currently training myself for an at home job. This weekend I am going to take the test and submit it and I hope they hire me. Lord knows my husband and I need all the help we can at the moment. This is the longest he has been laid off and nothing is looking good right about now.
My hometown and life long friend actually told me about this at home job. Her friend Hannah is my recruiter and she got in touch with me. I did the webinar and took the class already. Everything looks pretty easy actually. I just hope that if I get hired I can make something out of this and not feel like its a complete waste of my time. I dont have any children to run around and look after, so I can focus all my attention on this. And its a legit work at home program...my hometown friend would never give me a bullshit story...and she says her friend Hannah has been doing this for a while now and makes lots of money doing it. I'm not saying that I'm going to make lots of money doing it, but every little bit will help us before we are evicted from this place.

I have lots to do, so I guess Im going to go take one last look over at facebook and then go to bed. I have my test to get done this weekend and I have several sigtags I need to make for my members. Im just extremely tired and have a headache from hell...so I think its time to grab my hubby and head to bed. When I feel crappy...he's always the one that makes me feel better.

Good-night everyone!
