Seriously Sheila

May I quickly say that on average over half the people that visit my blog in a days time find their way here by searching one of two things.

1 - The Funky Sock Exchange.  That pyramid scheme failed me miserably.  The only socks I received from that whole escapade were pity socks because my pyramid collapsed.  If you would like to send me more pity socks, please email me ASAP.

2 - Pinky finger concerns.  I never knew how many people were worried about the health of their pinky fingers.  And I’m super sorry that I have no information to give regarding this often overlooked digit.  Put a cold rag on it?  Kiss it better?  Thats the only help I can be.

Strange, isn’t it?

But, really, I have no idea what I would my blog to be googled for… uhm, or however you phrase that so its proper grammar.

What words would you like to be typed in the search engine and have your blog be the number one result?

My newest toy to play around with is my cell phone.  Its the same cell phone I’ve had for some time.  And, I’ve not found some secret function or anything on it.

But, I have figured out the wonder that is sending my cell phone photos to facebook.  If you wanted, you could keep an eye on those photos here.  It makes me want to get a better camera phone, though.  As I have figured this all out, I’ve had to keep from posting 13409123 photos of my cats.  Because, really, here around the house, the only excitement is the cats.  Well, not really, but you catch my drift, right?

Anyhow, I call it an obsession because I think about taking a cell phone picture several times a day so I can upload it here.  Yet, I rarely find something that I feel is worthy of using my alloted monthly pix/text.  (Was that a complete sentence?)

I’ve decided that those people who have a facebook and already pay for unlimited pictures should completely and totally start uploading their cell phone pictures immediately.

Please let me know when you’ve accomplished this.

Thanks.

Don’t you hate it when you go to the grocery store, buy a cart full of food, get home, put it all away and then open your refrigerator door and stare mindlessly into it while trying to figure out what to eat for lunch?

I find it entertaining that postage on the package I mailed today cost as much as the combined total of the items in the box.  By ‘entertaining’, I mean ‘disturbing’.  And, by ‘items’, I mean ‘items’.  (I did that last part just to mess with you.)

My employer has decided that I should finally have a set schedule.  Which has its ups and downs, obviously.  This has just started yesterday, and the jury is still out on their overall opinion on the change.  And, by ‘jury’, I mean ‘me’.

I haven’t figured out my whole Going To Oklahoma idea at all.  I was originally wanting to go for a week, so I could spend time with each person that I wanted to see.  But, I definitely can’t figure out how to manage a week away from my life.  Going for a weekend is kind of hard to manage since I work Saturday and Sunday.  There really isn’t anyone to replace me on those days, either.  And, really, who wants to go visit everyone on a Monday and Tuesday while they’re at work (my normal days off)?

Anyhow, I guess I’m going to go stare in the fridge a little more.  And by ’stare’, I mean ’stare’.  And by ‘in the fridge’, I mean ‘at the computer’.

PS - why in the WORLD can I not upload photos to my bloggity bloggy blog?  Its annoying that I have to upload them to photobucket then stick the code in a post.  I know its not hard.  Its just annoying!!  ANNOYING I SAY!

K, bye.

I thought that when I went out yesterday to get some photos of Elizabeth’s sister-in-law, that I was just going out for a fun, casual event.

Not that it wasn’t fun or casual, mind you. It honestly was an enjoyable time. And I literally have over 300 photos to sort through, cuz I’m cool like that, yo. I really think we got some good ones. I’m excited to look at them again with fresh eyes.

Anyway, I went to sleep fairly early last night. I was just spent. And today… I hurt. My muscles are sore. My legs are throbbing, the middle of my back hurts.

I’m not complaining. Seriously, I’m not.

But, now I can honestly say that I worked yesterday.

Wanna check out some of my work? You can click here, if you want.

So, this weekend is Mother’s Day.  And, since most husbands and children really don’t have the vaguest idea of what kind of present to get for woman in their lives, this is one of the busiest weekends where I work.  So, technically, I should be there right now helping alleviate chaos instead of messing around with this post.  But, eh, whatever.  I’ll get there in a little while.

Monday I’m putting on my photographer hat again.  I’ll be taking some photos of my … follow this … best friend’s husband’s little sister.  She’s a DJ at a local radio station and is wanting some portraits of her to add to her portfolio.  Sounds impressive, yes?  I thought so.  She and I have spent some time together during the whole wedding process, so we’re not complete strangers.  At the same time, I am slowly stepping out of my bubble… I mean, these aren’t photos of my best friend or my sister (which are my normal subjects).  We’re also going to a different location than I normally use, which will be a nice change of pace.  Here’s hoping that the weather is cool and overcast on Monday, making for a wonderful picture day.

My cousin Heather is making a round trip from Oklahoma next Saturday.  She’s picking up a dresser of my grandma’s from my aunt’s house.  I think the plan is for her to stop by here on her way back out of town that evening.  I’d love to be able to get all my ducks in a row and make my way down there for a week this summer.  I’ll have to keep playing with the calendar to see if that can happen without too much stress.  With my luck, once I finally figure out which week would work best for me, everyone I know in Oklahoma would be out of town that week!

And, lastly, this template design is driving me insane.  I used a generator to create it, which gives you several selections on many different things.  Yet, at the same time, it gives you no choices on the things that bother me the most.  Go figure.  And, Wordpress templates make my brain hurt, otherwise I would attempt to tackle it on my own.
