It's on it's way out finally. I've been in a funk for a while now. Quite a while. But I am on the way out of it. I've noticed that everything is cyclic. Is that even the right spelling? lol
But the cycles are getting quicker than they used to. I am beginning to think it because I'm not actually dealing with the other issues, just letting them go by.
I am finally to the point of taking control of life instead of just dealing with it as it happens. Ahhhh, this is such a better place to be in. I really dislike dealing with it as it happens. I'm still wondering about going to a therapist, but it doesn't seem like such a necessity at the moment. Cause I really don't have time to research for a good one and then have an appointment. Goodness, there are days I can barely get my workout in and I work at the freakin' gym!

google dance
Is google ever going to get done with their dancing? Now don't get me wrong, I really do love google. It is the only search I use. But this stupid PR is the worst thing ever thought up. Not only that, but they rethink every so often how to make it more stupid. But this latest transition has been going on over 2 months.
I love to see the little green line go up on my sites. Even though I know it really has nothing to do with my sales and traffic, it's just cool. lol But I do need it to go up so I can get some more of my blogs on some paid sites. I don't want to just rely on this site for paid blogging. I want to jump in with both feet and get soaking wet this month. lol
The consensus is it finally quit updating because it was so out of date. That is cool, I can totally live with that. But we need to get some of the other sites updated with that decision. lol I have sites with major traffic that are still not pulling in numbers for paid blogging because of PR. The big dummies!

Paid blogging
I know you have seen the disclaimer on here and then of course some of the links. Not all of them as some of them are just me sending you to my favorite places I know and love. lol But I did join Pay Per Post a few months ago and I've been very happy with them.
I've only been taking opps here and there but it has been enough to pay for my websites and some monthly programs I belong too. That is all I was hoping for. Now it is time to start taking a few more opps and cover some more fun expenses. Like trips to the movies and family dinner nights.
I am glad I don't have to take any blogging opportunities that don't fit into my blog. I'm not ready to sell myself out just to get a couple of bucks. But I do appreciate finding new sites to visit and then reviewing them for all of you to check out.
My favorites are the movies. There have been movie opps that have come out and I haven't even heard of the movie yet in previews. It never fails that I start seeing the trailers about a week after it becomes available through Pay Per Post. I love being able to check out the movie sites before anyone else even knows about it.
Blogging about stuff I like is of course an addiction. But making extra money while I blog about it is now an obsession. You to can get paid to blog about whatever you want. Just pick what fits your life and post!

Football yipee!
I'm so glad football is back on. I can sit here and do webwork and still be watching the game. I don't actually have to watch it since I've been watching it since I was little. I can listen and look up when a really good play happens. lol Plus we have tivo so if I missed something we just rewind. What in the world did we do before Tivo? I can't even remember those dark ages.
Right now we are in the end of the third quarter and the second washington team is sucking butt. lol We quit watching the WSU game because it was so bad and the UW game finally started. But now UCLA just did a killer interception and the game will totally be over. I actually think I hear hubby brushing his teeth and getting ready for bed. He's the one that likes to watch college ball, not me!
If that is the case then I have a bunch of movies to catch up on tonight while I update blogs. :)

Plan ahead for Xmas
...without leaving the house.
Many people cringe when they hear the words Black Friday. But me, I laugh in the face of no sleep and long lines. Ok, I'm only laughing from sleep deprivation and a caffeine high. But that is beside the point. lol
I do love Black Friday but I have no way to get to all the stores at once and get the best deals. I also don't like leaving our hill anymore and that means I don't get to all the stores I used to. :( Let alone the fact that all of the stores you can find at bfads are not all in my area anymore. I miss that. All of the companies that I have seen so far are the one's that I used to hit regularly when the kids were young and we were closer to the big mall.
For those of you that have never participated in Black Friday you will be getting in much better by joining the newsletter. Normally you have to sit on Thanksgiving Day and go through the big ads for the next morning. Stores open anywhere from 5-7am and have door buster sales to get you there early. Now is the hard part. Many of them have MUST HAVE items in very limited quantities per store. There is no way to hit all the stores at opening to get the best deals.
But you can go to bfads and find the ads as soon as they are released to the printers. Then choose what you are looking for and shop ONLINE! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Wow, I will be sitting at home with my laptop this Black Friday and having the time of my life shopping. I encourage you to sign up for updates.

Last night of puppies
K, the problem is hubby is gone a lot lately and I only have them with me in the evening to watch tv with. Cuddle on the couch. I haven't had something so excited to see me when I get home than when the kids were super young. These dogs are constant puppies even at a little over 1 and I'm gonna miss them.
She said she's not going to be out of town for a while now and that makes me sad. I told her we could have joint custody of the dogs, but now I'm sorry I did. :( If she's not going to travel as much, then I'm going to have to get a couple of little dogs. I'm just going to miss having them too much not to get my own.

Movies to choose from
I have too many choices for movies and tv shows tonight. lol It's hard to decide on the quick show, finish Black Snake Moan, or start Delta Farce or Georgia Rule. I'm half way through BSM I think, so I will finish that one first. I'll report back on how it finishes. I hadn't heard anything about it before watching a preview on another movie in the last week. After the preview I knew I had to see it.
Lawrence Fishbourne plays a man that lives in the rural south. One day he goes out to find a young white woman beaten (thought to be dead) on his road. He learns through others that she is a druggy sex addict and he deems it his responsibility to save her from herself. There have been a lot of funny parts for how serious the movie is. Also, there are many other little stories going on as well. But it's easy to keep up with. I'll try to get back with a review of the whole movie soon.

Weight loss help
I'm a personal trainer by day, not sure if you've read that anywhere on here or not. lol Being such I have come across many clients that have had weight loss surgery and none of them have kept it off. Obviously because they didn't get the help, they merely had surgery and were let off on their own. That is just not an option. You have to change your habits.
Sometimes obesity surgery is a life saving necessity. In those cases you still need counseling. Journey Lite has all of that and more. You can go to their home page and find a seminar near you to see if this is even a good option for you. They have forums, recipes, support groups and a lot of education. Education is key to your success and Journey Lite is dedicated to you succeeding.

Hello again
Well I'm just checking in to see if anyone needs a fast forward to where it's really happening. I'm keeping this open for some specific reasons. lol
So what's happening around here? Well school started and that was crazy to get used to last week. I'm back to work almost full swing. Ok, I didn't make it 30 hours, but I intended to. lmao Get off my back! I have more appointments set up for this week, so I'll get back in a groove.
Tonight I'm PMSing so bad I'm looking for a good bar fight. Anyone wanna head down to the bar with me for some tequila shots? It's Sunday night so you know the chicks down there deserve a good beatin'!!! Sigh, no one ever wants to go start trouble with me. Guess that's a good thing.
Alright, I need to hit the zillion other blogs I have going as well. I just wanted to send a quick update and HOLA Bitchola's!

Notice me gone?
So did you notice that I'm not at this address much? Miss me yet? I have put the blog back on wordpress, but have to keep this one open in case of an emergency again. lol So you can hit me on either blog for some updates. But if you want to get more of the dish, then hit my domain at www.busymomma.com.
This week has been super hot. We aren't used to 90's here in Seattle. Especially this early in the Summer! I love it, but it's quite miserable in the afternoon/evening. It's midnight right now and the house is finally starting to cool off. All the doors and windows are open and fans are going everywhere. I'm getting dog tired, but I can't stand to close up the house yet. It's going to get so dang hot when I do. :(
It's to cool down after today. Hoping we actually get the storms that are predicted. Although not any rain. We are going to have a yard sale this weekend, so no rain!

Laptoppy
Guess what I am typing from at this moment? Are you really that freakin' stupid, read the title. lmao Yep, the laptop is here. It shipped a day early and then took only another day to get here. Holy crap DHL rocks. I need to figure out how to ship stuff through them for Christmas, cause they can't be matched for service.
I'm in heaven. Hubby won't bug me about it for a few days. lol But this is what he wanted. Now instead of being behind him on the PC, I can sit by him at the coffee table to work. :) I can't wait to get so much done while I'm at work. Course I have to get everything loaded to this one first. lol I'm hoping that won't take too long. Now if I can get a wireless network while I'm at work, I'll be in heaven!!!
I swear I'm gonna hit a wifi cafe just cause I can. lol What a dork I am huh? Oh wait, did you ever read that I live in the Seattle area? See it's not my fault I'm a computer dork, we come by it naturally cause of the lack of sun. roflmao Lot's of internet cafe's here. Just to find one that has good coffee and good sandwiches. :)
It's taking me forever to get used to the new keyboard and mouse. I really dislike the mousepad on the laptop. I hover my wrist over it so much that it throws my windows off. lol Floats back and forth between the tabs. I'm sure I'll get used to it. I do have a wireless mouse, but then I have to sit forward at the table instead of having it on my lap. I'm in spoiled mode right now, not sit and be uncomfy mode.
Funny story about the mouse. I hate reading directions. I do for big things, but not for stupid stuff like a mouse. I ripped open the plastic for it with my crappy scissors, worried I was going to cut myself open on the plastic. Why is that crap so dang hard to get into? Then pull out the usb link and plug it in, easy cheesy, grab the mouse pad and try to use it. Nothing, waiting, nothing, mother fucker. What is wrong with it. Should be plug and go. :( Well then after a few glasses of wine it doesn't matter to me if I break the damn thing and I start pushing this button on the end. Yes I know some of you are laughing hysterically and probably peeing your pants. DUH, needs a damn battery? WHAT? lol Oh, guess reading the directions would be good for the little stuff.

hosting update
Well whatever was wrong with the hosting is fixed now. THANK YOU internet Gods! I am switching some of the things over to another host and condensing stuff so I don't have so many log ins anymore. lol But the best news of all is it got me to go research how to get new blogger posts over to WP. It wasn't that hard actually. But now PPP won't let me change back to my original domain until my blog gets a PR.
Who the fuck cares about PR? NO ONE that's who! It has nothing to do with anything. But I guess they have to have some kind of standard to go by. Whatever, it will rank eventually. The really crappy thing is that google just went through and did their page ranks and the URL was a mess at the time. So it is unranked right now. Damnit!

hosting-arghhhh
Well here I go again. Is this not why I've kept blogger for my two main blog accounts? Why yes it is. I deleted my previous busymomma blog all on my own. lol Totally to blame for it. But right now, I have no idea what is going on with my hosting company. Not only do I not know what is going on, but I have no way to get ahold of them because their site is down as well.
Now my sites are still up, so that is a good thing. But alas, I have 3 major blogs that are down and the databases are not showing in my hosting account. None of the scripts are up, so the chat room is down on momchats. My scrapbook shop, has no shop and has no gallery. Again, all of the databases are gone too.
I was on them yesterday deleting spam around 3pm PST and my friend IMed me at 11pm that they were offline. She has some hosting with the company as well.
I'm so pissed at myself for not backing shit up. Again, my stupidity, but I don't know how much room I have on this computer. lmao If I lose my wellness blog I am going to completely freak out. I mean wig. I have a ton of posts on there and it had just gotten ranked on google. I know, I know, that doesn't matter, but it does damn it! So now we are getting close to what is probably 24 hours of them being down and I just don't even know what to do.
I have found a new hosting account for most of it. One site will stay on there because I'm going to sell it and it's just easier to keep it seperate like it is. But I've found some great places to host that come highly recommended, tons of room and most importantly...phone numbers to get info from when needed.
So I'm going to spread out my hosting options a little bit more. I won't have all my important blogs on the same hosting company again. ARGHHH, this is so damn frustrating when I had nothing to do with it. Please, please, please just be a server upgrade!

Scary movies- bug
I love edge of your seat type movies. The one's that scare the crap out of you, but don't have to do it with a ton of gore. I used to do the gory movies, but I guess I got too old. lol This new bug movie looks to be awesome. This poster caught my attention first. 
At first glance it hit me that it was Ashley Judd. I can't miss a movie with Ashley Judd in it. She's the ultimate! Then you read the stars across the top and not only is she in it, but Harry Connick Jr.! Yee-freakin-haw! Love to look at him on the screen. lol So of course the poster got my immediate attention and I had to go to the bug movie site and see more. The director also did The Exorcist, so you know they are going to creep us out. I just hope they don't jump out at me a lot. It drives me crazy to be jumping in my seat all the time.
Once at the bug movie website I watched the trailer and now I really can't wait to go see it on the 25th. There is just something about bad things happening in everday lives that is creepy in a movie. Although bugs under the skin are going to definitely require some hands over the eyes at the theater. lol That's so disgusting.
Now the big decision is going to be, will hubby go to watch it with me or do I need to call a friend?

Ahh, Mother's Day
Happy Mother's Day to all the rest of you motha's out there.
We've had a day of nothing. WOOHOO Got up late, ran out for coffee's while my daughter was making us all breakfast. French toast, scrambled eggs and fresh fruit. Boy, she's amazing. :) Then opened presents. Big card from son with flowers in it that have different coupons written on them. I already used the free car wash. lol I even got a detailing out of the deal! Daughter made me a beautiful cutting board in woodshop. I've got to get a pic of it, cause the different woods she used are awesome.
I vowed that from now on there will be no more store bought mother and father's day gifts. I don't want them to get to my age and feel that they need to buy me stuff. I just want a nice meal with the four of us. No presents are even necessary in my opinion.
So it's a grilled salmon dinner tonight. I've caught up on survivor and Lost already. I took a nap, with no guilt I might add. Tonight is season finale of survivor and early bed. Restful day and much needed.

Detox with a Life Change
As some of you regulars should know, I am a personal fitness trainer by day. I put in many hours a week, EVERY day, yes 7 days a week, with my clients working on getting them to change their lifestyle. I only have the control of an hour to do this in.
When I found the link to Stonehawk I was beyond impressed. A rehab center that is geared around getting the toxins out of the body naturally and that wanted to use fitness and diet in that process? WOW, sign me up to teach classes.
I come from a long line of people that have killed themselves with drugs and alcohol. I also have quite a line of those that are killing themselves with food. I put them in a similiar catagory, though not as easily tragic as the drugs and alcohol of course.
If you are in need of drug detox please call and check out this natural approach. Yes, I am from Washington state, but I don't hug trees. Neither do I expect others to hug trees. lol But a natural approach to change will be much better on your system. Mix the mental with the physical. If you are in need of clicking the link, you understand how much you need both.
I encourage you to check out Stone Hawkdrug detox center. Please call 1-888-227-9193, download an info pack, or just start by reading some of the articles on the site. Whatever you feel comfortable with.
If you are in a transition period, please do email me to chat. littlescrapbookshop@gmail.com. Put "I'm a blogger" in the subject line so I don't delete it. ;) I'm not certified to help you with these hard issues, but I am here to listen while you make your major decision towards help.
Did I mention how beautiful this place is? It looks straight out of 28 days. Anyone else in love with Viggo Mortensen? Well if he can break it, so can you.
Honestly though, if you feel that this is something that you may need, then please do contact them. They have many ways to get ahold of them with the toll-free 1-888-227-9193, the contact form on the site or the downloadable info. Please do give them a chat if you think you "may" have a problem. It's much better safe than sorry baby!

Fireman Graduation
Well 10 weeks is done for hubby. The first 3 weeks went by so slowly. But the last 7 have gone by much quicker. Absence did make the heart grow fonder in my case. I love him dearly already, but man did I treasure the time we had together on the weekends. Which wasn't that much since he spent a lot of it studying.
Which I'm glad he did. He bumped up to graduating #6 out of 34 as of the last test. There is still one test not graded (no worries he about him passing it) and I'm not sure if it counts towards their placement in the class or not. This was the man that told everyone he would need a ton of help on the book work. He lacks confidence and sometimes it pisses me off.
I know this is why we are soul-mates for lack of an uncheesy term. We honestly do complete each other. I'm a bitch and he's mellow. He is underconfident and I have an abundance of it. lol I tend to get fired up immediately about things and he can sit back and analyze it with less emotion. That last one may be a female/male thing, not sure. :) All I know is it made me laugh thinking about it today after I knew he had completed the last of the tests. I realized that I had done this same talk while he was away at college. I was still in high school and talking him through it all over the phone.
But I'm incredibly proud of him. I can't wait to get up to the academy with the kids in the morning and meet all of these people I've heard about for the last 10 weeks. Especially all of the Capt.'s that have really inspired him to work even harder.
We were going to go to vegas and that would be our anniversary trip and also his graduation present. But then we decided better of it. Of course by this time it is way too late to be getting anything that has actual meaning for his gift. ARGH! Dawned on my Monday that I had nothing to give him at all and that didn't sit well. So I decided to hit the store I bought his Vanmark Fire Dept. figurines this morning in hope that that was where I actually bought them last time. It sure was the place, but they haven't carried them in 2 years at least and had no idea where else might. She didn't think they were even made anymore. AHHHH, not cool. So I went to hallmark and racked my brain for where I'd seen them before. I really hate to have to leave our hill. The other hill is so damn busy.
Hallmark had the name of another store to give a call and that would have been my next hit. But for somereason it dawned on me that I had seen them at a little jewelry store when I took my neighbor there a couple of times. Sure enough, not only did they have 1 of the figurines. But it is the one I REALLY wanted. Unseen Guardian has been out for quite some time now. At least 3 or 4 years. That is about how long ago it was I bought the other figures. lol So I was happy to see it was the one that I knew hubby liked. Now the price on that site is only half of what I paid for. Let me remind you that these are collectibles and are numbered. So the numbers are quite high now over the years. I bought 1/0001. Yep, close to tears. It's 1/0001. How is that for significance for his graduation? Solidifies my ideal that if it's meant to be, it's meant to be. How else could 1/0001 be here in the small jewelers in Bonney Lake? Oh, while I was there, I did put my wish list in for rings. bahahaha Read above, I told you I was a bitch.
K, this post got super long, sorry about that. I'll post more tomorrow night after meeting everyone. He was supposed to call me tonight after they got back, but no surprise he didn't. Only 14 more hours until I get to see him again and then another 24 until he's home for good. YIPPEEE, let life begin anew!
Please remind me to go to this post when his work schedule is driving me crazy and he's in my space.

Zune revisited
K, I'm gonna revisit Zune . I have one client that her husband has the zune. So she took borrowed it, so we could visit the "community" on the damn thing! I thought if we went to see if each of us were online, then we could freely pass whatever songs between each other. Well not quite. You can pass it all. But one person has to decide what songs they want to "send". Hard to do on treadmill. lmao]
Then I read, and yes hubby already told me this. SO WHAT!!? That not only can you only share for 3 days, but it's only 3 listens as well. WTF? That's really not worth the work unless it's some new band that no one has heard. lmao So now it will be the battle of the new bands. :) Joy and I are up for it. We are competive that way. It's her hubby's zune and she has said his music is closer to mine. Yeah, yada yada. I'm used to mostly guys listeneing to my music. Whateva!
And it sounds like I hate the Zune but I love it! I'm so glad that I have the zune and not the lame ass Ipod Nano that hubby has. I'm just ticked that I spent $20 on music choices right before he bought me it for our anniversary.
But I do know that he can buy. This is the best thing on the market. I can listen to my favorite morning and evening radio teams. WWW.KISW.COM, yes check them out online cause they are worth it. I promise, you will laugh your ass off. But I can also listen to my music the other times that I don't like the dj's as much. lol Which is not easy, as all the dj's are awesome. Believe me, we have partied with them. lmao JOLENE is hot! Check her out.
So check out the Zune. I am going to join the monthly subscription, just because I listen so long to the stuff. I figure I can keep a good update going on new music.
Listen often to get new music. I'll be all over it. Combine myspace with Zune and I'll have the latest incredible music.
