Making Memories Last

I have always thought that a locket are a great way to say I love you and I want to keep you with me forever. I had a couple of Gold Lockets as a teenager. The problem was I kept cutting up photos and attempting to shove them in there. I’d eventually ruin the photo and the locket with my tries. I found a completely unique site that can laser your photos onto the inside of your locket. This means no cutting, no prying, and no resizing. It’s actually complete genius. I’d love to have one of the Silver Lockets with photos of my child as a Mother’s Day present.

Kudos To Spammers

Cause they are really getting under my skin right now. Currently, one of my sites keeps getting pounded. All day, all night, 100 times a day. I can’t block the ip, I can’t block any specific text or link. It’s getting annoying. I’m not sure what else to do. I just realized I might not have the did you pass math thing installed over there, but I might. I can’t remember. It doesn’t really matter, I have it installed on here and I’m getting the same thing. It’s kinda funny. This all started when we started to trash Christine again. I mentioned once before when she was causing trouble and I was vocal about it that I thought someone was targeting me. It’s not like spam that is generated. It’s like someone has way too much time on their hands.

Wedding Planning

When I got married I planned most of it myself. There wasn’t really a ton of helpful tips and tricks out there for planning a decent wedding on a budget either. The internet was just getting popular and ordering services or merchandise off of it wasn’t considered reliable at all. The only help I had was experience from people who had been married 30 plus years earlier and the occasional bridal magazine filled with advertisements in the back.

Luckily for today’s brides there are web sites like mywedding.com. Signing up with the site is free and easy and will allow you to keep track of all your wedding planning information. You will be able to access and keep track of information that is all centered about the location that you choose. You can pick from a list of locations scattered through the United States and start looking at upcoming events like bridal shows and showcases.

What would a site like this be without offering you your own free wedding website? You just simply sign up, choose the design you want, and then tell your story the way you want it to be told. Last, share it with friends, family, or the world. This is a perfect wedding memento that I wish I could say I have. What a great way to share with family and friends what is going on with your wedding planning.

The site is full of fun stuff like giveaways and polls for you to enjoy. Probably the most interesting and important feature of the site is the blog. The blog keeps you up to date on the latest news and issues in wedding culture. I mean I had no clue about options for the menu until I read about The Mini Entree. I love the idea of this mini food sampling for a wedding reception. Without that blog, I’d have never even considered it. This is an invaluable tool for brides to be!

So Cold

I went outside to play in the snow as I mentioned earlier and I attempted to make a mini snowman. The snow just turned to complete ice-balls when I rolled it up. My hands were freezing. No, I didn’t have gloves on. I didn’t think I would be able to do what I was doing with gloves on.

So I came inside freezing and having limited use of my fingers and have not been able to warm up since. Even after cooking dinner which usually makes it really warm in the house, still cold. I’m still feeling really bad too. Mucinex is really good stuff, but my chest is still hurting. My throat is still raw. My head is pounding beyond belief. Doesn’t help that Sydney hit me in the cheek with her head as hard as possible and caused an even bigger headache.

Why Did The Oyster Cross The Road?

Q:Why did the oyster cross the road?
A:He was in my grocery sack getting ready to be eaten!

Seriously, if you are going to eat or especially cook oysters you need to Be Oyster Aware. Millions of people eat Gulf oysters every single year and for good reasons. They taste yummy, they are chock full of vitamins, zinc, omega 3’s, all things that help your body in so many wonderful ways. Yet every time you consume all this goodness you are at risk of death from Vibrio vulnificus bacteria. Vibrio vulnificus isn’t always harmful to the average person, but to someone with liver disease, a weakened immune system, or diabetes it can be fatal. Avoiding raw oysters completely is the best way to go if you have any of those ailments. For anyone who loves oysters check out Be Oysters Aware and get all the information you need. You can find out if you are at risk, what Vibrio vulnificus is exactly, and the symptoms of it. After you find the all clear feeling and hunger in your stomach check out some of the oyster recipes they have on the site!

Have I Mentioned I Love Working For Free?

I’m sure I have, but I’m too lazy to search for the post. So yeah I’m pretty much over those places that make you fight for your money. It’s kinda like throwing out dinner and saying, now fight for it or starve to death. I’m just too lazy. I log on when I want, and I get what I get. Not a biggie, I accepted this a long time ago. What I haven’t quite accepted yet is the fact that they never seem to have every feature working properly…still. They always seem to have some type of glitch that screws you after you get your “dinner” and write about it, then post it up on your blog and hit submit. Even though you had hours and only took seconds somehow, just somehow something went haywire and you lost out. So we’re talking money and time down the drain. Today I was going to make a video. I went outside and played in the snow for exactly 2 minutes and then somehow, my “dinner” ended without me knowing it. Funny how that happens.
