Another quick post

As you can see I updated my blog template, I wanted something a little more me…I am not sure I am quite there, but I do have the pink so I am at least halfway there!  I have been trying out the blog memes because I want to try to post more and this gives me a quick post even on those days I have nothing to talk about.  I know that I did a Flickr mosaic for my WW post, but I think I am going to do a Flickr Friday from now on.  I don’t know that I will do a mosaic each time, but I will be sharing some of my faves and maybe doing some themes.  I will have to think about what I want to do tomorrow.

The reason I came back to post is because I got my Round 2 Hexie Swap in the mail today.  It is awesome!!  I love Heather Ross prints and I tell you they are VERY hard to get a hold of these days.  I have a few pieces of these prints, but I tell you I am loving these hexes!  I am going to think of something extra special to do with them so stay tuned to see what I come up with.

They are bigger than the ones I have been making too…so that will be fun!

Ok, I have work to get done and I have played around enough today!

Allergies?

I don’t know if this is allergies I am dealing with or what but I have been feeling pretty crummy for about 5 days now.  Sneezing, stuffy, nose running, sinuses draining, headache….you get the idea!  It’s not so bad that I just want to lay down or anything, but it’s to the point where it’s just getting annoying!  That reminds me, I need to take an allergy pill…

Another thing that is annoying me is my computer…I have been having major issues with it the past few days thanks to some jerk who decided it would be fun to hack my site (again) and add some type of malware into my index files.  Luckily he/she didn’t get into my cart system thanks to my annoyingly LONG new password!  What I failed to take note of when it was hacked earlier this month was that even though I changed my password on my control panel, when they restored the site to the backup, it restored my old password.  Since I don’t access anything through the control panel usually I didn’t think about changing it again, BAD on me!  Now the malware is gone thanks to the ever helpful CS people at justhost.com and I have yet another hard to remember LONG password.  Hopefully this is the last of my hacker problems.  Seriously people, I don’t make nearly enough money to warrant this constant hacking attack!

We are making an effort this summer to eat at home as much as possible, so far we are doing really well.  In the past 2 weeks we have only eaten out 2 times.  We ate at Fazoli’s yesterday (all 5 of us) for less than $10.00!  They have $2.99 Baked Spaghetti, which is what Jake and I got, we got 1 kids meal, filled a stamp card so we got the 2nd kids meal free and added a slice of pizza to the one kids meal for .99 and a kids drink for .99 and then we used a $2 off any order of $5 or more coupon and we all ate for like $9.89 or something like that!  Naturally, Jake forgot to order drinks for the 2 of us so he went back to order them and they guy gave them to us for free!  Can’t beat a deal like that especially with the all-you-can eat breadsticks.  We are sticking to a pretty tight budget with groceries too so we are trying to eat as cheaply as possible even at home.  I have discovered these box meals where everything comes in the box to make like cheesy chicken and rice with broccoli, chicken fried rice, etc…every one we have tried has been good and just enough for the whole family for lunch and they are only $3-$4 a box.  We also made the cake mix cookies yesterday, that’s an easy cheap snack and everyone just LOVES them!

I feel like I need to have a picture in this post, they seem kind of dull without them!

Here is one from last summer…it’s a little sad that pretty much the only think I take pictures of anymore is my bags.  I need to make an effort to take more pictures of living things!

I am off to work…have a great day!
