A Woman’s Diary

I have this sudden urge to bake cookies. Don’t ask me why because I’m not looking to any cookie related pictures or recipes, I just feel like doing so. The thought came to my head while I was watching a forensic files type of show. And no…there was nothing related to cookies there. So, it’s a completely random thought.

Of course I suck at cooking period. Baking? Well…I usually end up burning EVERYTHING!!! So I’m not sure what I’m going to do. Hum….*thinks a bit* … I know how to make cookies that I buy in the store. I think it’s a Betty Crocker cookie mix for chocolate chip cookies. Last time, I burned them, but they still taste good.

Maybe I’ll head over to Wal-Mart because that’s where I got it before. I’ll check it out and also see what other neat things I can find. Sounds like a plan to me!!

Ya I know…you probably read a bunch of posts of people upgrading to the new wordpress version. Yup, I’m no different. LOL!

I finally finished upgrading all of my sites and both family/friends websites too. It took awhile but it’s finish. I only ran into one error on one of my sites which I’ll be fixing tonight because I don’t feel like doing it now.

What do I think of the new Wordpress?

You really want to know?? … I hate the default theme. It sucks and it’s just horrible to navigate around. Thank goodness for another theme being available called Fluency which can be easily installed just like any other plugin. At least this theme for the admin is so much better. It’s neat and organized to me.

Anyways…I’m off to go figure out how to get my Technorati incoming links back in my dashboard instead of the stupid Google ones that the creators of wordpress like…for what reason? I have absolutely no clue as those links are never updated! *sigh*

Byez for now!!

I forgot to post this on Friday, but I received the purse I won from a competition on Lori’s website. It is absolutely gorgeous and came with a matching wallet as well!! Take a look at it in the photo below. Man…I love mini contests with great prizes.

THANKS AGAIN LORI!!

I haven’t really had a chance to finish up my blanket. In fact, I just picked it up the other day again so I can crochet some more rows. It’s slightly bigger than before but that much of a difference that requires me to take a new photo of it.

I can’t seem to find the time to do anything these days. It really sucks…really it does. All I want to do is stay home and actually get caught up on blogging, crocheting, reading, and so many other things. I just don’t have any time which is really ticking me off.

Before I had all the time in the world day in and day out. It was really nice. I didn’t go to bed until the early morning and slept in as much as a wanted. Not to mention, I could go outside and enjoy the nice breeze too without a care to worry about.

Now it’s the complete opposite and I don’t like it much. *sigh* … but life goes on …

Geeze…I’ve think I’ve hit the jackpot. That is, if the requirements were to get a billion spam on your site in one week. That’s what it feels like on all my sites. It’s just been a big BAM all of a sudden with the amount of comments I have to moderate, most of them being spam.

Not only that, but I check my referrals all the time. The amount of porn related websites that are using themes I’ve modified are insane. Are there seriously THAT MANY porn websites out there?? Wow…some of them even have just regular blogs names so I don’t know it’s a porn site until I visit it and see a big cock in some chick’s mouth. It’s crazy!

For real…sites like that should have a splash page where it outlines it being a porn site. Imagine if I opened one of my referral links when checking things from work or school?? OMG…I don’t even want to think of the embarrassment.

My diet has not been good these past few weeks. The one thing that is constantly on my mind is pizza. I can’t get enough of it and crave it 24/7. And no…I’m not pregnant!! I don’t know what it is though that is making me crave it so damn much.

The worst part is that I can’t be eating pizza all the time. That is, if I want to fit into the bride’s maid dress I ordered for my sister’s wedding. I made almost $300 for the damn thing so it better fit come her wedding day.

But seriously….how do you stop the carvings without giving in??

A few months ago I found out about one of the greatest things ever which is lifelock. I actually saw the CEO, Todd Davis, on the Montel Williams show. He gave the best insight on what lifelock is all about. Heck, he even provided HIS OWN social security number just to prove how effective lifelock is in identity theft protection.

Benefits of using LifeLock:

• you are covered by their $1 million service guarantee
• if someone tries to do something with your credit, you will receive a notification
• you will be removed from pre-approved credit offers and junk mail lists
• the bottom line: you’ll be safe and secure that no will can steal your identity or hijack your credit account.

How much does it cost? Only $10/month for the best protection against identity theft. Definitely something everyone should invest in because of the high identity thefts cases in our society today.

As being someone who has had their wallet stolen and my credit card being used, I swear by this program. My personal identity is out there in the criminal world because of the thief who stole my wallet right from my work place a few years ago.

Sadly, it seems that lifelock is only available in the USA. I hope they establish it in all of North America because I would love to have this protection in Canada. So for those of you lucky ones who are currently living in the States, don’t hesitate on this opportunity. It truly is something you’ll want to invest it. I am saying this purely from my own experience. You want to be protected and don’t want to deal with the aftermath of having someone steal your stuff. It’s horrible.

Check out LifeLock.com and protect you and your family from identity theft today!

I’m in total shock…man the weather is so weird nowadays. Just yesterday is was raining, well, it was more like flurries and it was freezing cold! Now today, it’s sunny and actually +1 degrees out. Nice…I hope the temperature keeps working it’s way up because it sure doesn’t feel like spring around here.

I want to plant some flowers out in the backyard but can’t because there is still snow everywhere, plus it’s just too cold to be outside for long periods of time. Hopefully by the weekend the temperature will be up? I really really hope so!

I’m stuck with a decision that I don’t know which one to pick. If you only could afford one or the other right now, which one would you go with first? The iPod Nano 8GB or the Red Blackberry Curve?? Any suggestions is appreciated!!

I hope summer comes sooner than later this year. It just seems that’s it’s taking too long especially with all the snow coming once again. *sigh*.

I have already been talking about vacations with my parents and what they have in mind. My father wants to go to Cuba. My mother has no preference. Myself? Undecided yet.

But thank goodness for websites like VacationRentals.com. At least I can find different vacation homes we can rent out such as the Florida Vacation Home section of the site. From there I can easily pick a specific location in Florida and see what rental homes there are. The best thing is that they have so many possibilities and many different cities all across the world. Sweet!

I have never been to Florida so it would be nice to go down there with my family. My aunt and uncle always talk about it too, so I’m sure it would be fun.

*looks out window* … I hope summer is coming … seriously I do.

Yup…there goes my beautiful four day weekend. Now it’s back to work today. Am I looking forward to it? Not really because it’s nice to just relax at home all day without a care to worry about.

I get this feeling all to often. It was nice being off work for over a year making money online and didn’t have to worry about anything besides making sure my internet connection was working. I miss those days…

Unfortunately, I can’t go back to those kinds of days…not yet anyways. Too many bills, school, and other things I need money for and won’t have enough if I didn’t get a “real job”.

Anyways…I’m off to get ready so I can head to my “real job”. *sigh*

Wow…last night I had a crazy conversation with someone very close to me. We talked all the way up to 5:00am which is when I headed to bed.

The crazy thing is that what I’ve learned has to remain a secret. But honestly…it shocked me more than words can say. And yes…it does deal with my immediate family. I didn’t sleep at all either. I just kept thinking about these things and it just consumed every thought I had.

The thing that’s even more crazier is that it somewhat deals with my nephew (see photo off to side). I really want to write out what I learned but my lips are sealed. I can’t. It’s too crazy and would affect lots of people around me.

I just wish that the family member it deals with becomes more open to sharing things that are going on in life and have trust in me. I’m really close with this person yet they don’t fully confide in me and leave out important things. Do I understand why they are doing so? No, I don’t because we use to share everything. *sigh*

Okay…that’s all I’m saying.

I am really pissed off and want to cry at the same time.

How can they do this!!??
