It's that time again! With Mother's Day just past, Father's Day is just around the corner. I was looking around online for things that my husband might like but was having some trouble. So I was chatting with my friend Heather, and she suggested these watches by Jaeger LeCoultre. So, I took a look and they have some gorgeous watches. I am not so sure they are my husband's tastes but they are definately my Dad's style. Very classy and stylish, perfect to wear to work.
Thanks Heather!!

My brother called me last night to ask me if the kids and I would like to come over to his house today. I asked why and he said to see my new puppy.... so you can photograph him. LOL!
Ok sounds like fun to me. My brother and his cousin, who is also his housemate, recently got purebred boxer pups. They are brother and sister and oh so sweet! The little white one in the sweater (*IBERH), is the cousin's little girl puppy.. she doesn't have a name quite yet.
The little brown one is my brother's and his name is Bailey. No doubt named for Bailey's Irish Cream. My brother has been woring in the Wine & Spirits business for the last few years so that was a given lol.
Watchin the Boob Tube!
**IBERH= Insert Big Eye Roll Here
We all know that digital designers don't make a heck of alot just designing. Unless of course, you are well established and you have something completely unique to offer. I do okay and I am pleased with how far I have come in the last 18 months but right now, I need extra income. So the last few months, I have been getting paid for my blog posts. I know I have mentioned it in the past but I have been doing pretty well with it.
I had previously signed up with payperpost but I hadn't done anything with it but now that I've gotten the hang of it, I am up and running! It has been a great way to earn some extra income, whether I use it to help pay bills or just for fun money it's really come in handy!
One of my biggest goals is to eventually make enough money every month to be able to move into a larger place. I would love to own a house, but even if we have to rent one at first that would be better than a tiny cramped apartment with 7 people. I'd also like to get myself some nice little gadget goodies to further my design career, who wouldn't! Right now I really need an external hard drive for all my digi supplies and hard copies of my own products. The other day I was down to 32 gb left on my hard drive, Oops!
Anyway, I just wanted to let all my mommy friends know because when you have kids, every little bit helps!
Wow, I had a relatively quiet weekend, well as long as the heathens children were sleeping :)
Hubby was off at the races working. They were further out this weekend so it makes sense for them to stay overnight. My two oldest had an overnighter with my mom, so it was just me and the little 3. We had fun, played some games, watched a movie or two or three.
I had some work to do to complete my grab bag for this month so while they were settling down I worked. I would LOVE to show you all what I accomplished.. however I cannot. You're just going to have to wait until Friday! I am cruel aren't?
The little ones went to bed very easily. I had them all asleep by 8:30, it was GREAT! I got so much work done. Too bad I was up and down all night with two little kids who aren't used to sleeping alone. I have a bunch of snugglebugs.
DH brought home some really cool prints they took a few weeks ago of our 16 yr old niece getting a ride in a racecar. I've been.. it is a life-flashing-before-your-eyes yet thrilling experience. We spun out on my ride. Anyway, they got an awesome profile picture of them going by really really fast. Even an awesome close up shot where you can see her face (eyes) through the window AND the helmet. I have them on disk so I will upload tomorrow and show them off.
DH brought them home in a rather large box, it was one of the ones that the 12x18 photo paper comes in. So I asked, why are you bringing home photo paper? That's when I found out they were photos, silly me! So I guess we are going to mail them to her, I'm just not sure that the box will fit in our tiny little apartment mailboxes! I know, I know! Go to the post office! Yuck.
I know it's only October but it seems like the Superbowl is just around the corner. They are even selling Super Bowl tickets already, can you believe it?!?!! Well ok, I sorta can since everyone and their dog wants to go. It always seems to land around my birthday though, so this year (2008) I am celebrating my birthday the following weekend. How am I celebrating? Well... a couple years back a friend and I went up to Reno for the weekend. That was a blast. Am I doing that? Nope! I'm going to.... CHA in Anaheim!! I am so excited, I can't wait! Five whole days to myself.
Since it is within my state the plane tix won't be all that much and my mom is letting me use some of her timeshare credits for my hotel stay as my bday pressie. I am going down a day early so I can settle in and my aunt lives in the general vicinity so I am going to try to hook up with her before the convention starts.
Nt much else to report today, DH is home sick the last few days, hopefully I don't get it. Nothing worse than a sick mommy!
True Friends....
