Weight loss time line

Posted on 09/07/2012 by admin

I gained 15 pounds from 2003-2005 because my husband and I commuted to date… I was already 10 pounds over weight so this made me 25 pounds over weight.

Then I got pregnant in 2005 and gained another 25 pounds and only lost 11 pounds after birth and before my next pregnancy in 2008. I gained about 14 pounds in the second pregnancy and lost my baby at 23 weeks 3 days. Worst day ever! Through depression I did not lose any other weight after the baby was born. I lost only a handful of pounds after that delivery and I don’t recall exactly, but I don’t think it was more then 4-5 pounds. So in 2008 I was about 34-35 pounds overweight.

In 2009 I got pregnant again and gained a ton of weight. I went from 204 pounds to 268 pounds…I was huge!

I had to have a c-section and it got infected so I went from 8/27/2009-11/29/2009 with no exercise at all because I had to get my stomach incision packed every day. I was on bed rest for a long time. I did not weigh myself so my weight loss is calculated at the 268 pounds I was at when I weighed myself on the day I gave birth.

I am now Continue reading →

Monster Truck Cake

Posted on 09/01/2012 by admin

Wow I am going to toot my own horn because I am pretty proud of my cake. It was my son’s third birthday and he wanted a monster truck theme and I was on a mission to make a cake for him.

As you know I have been teaching myself via YouTube and trial and error cake decorating. The monster truck cake was going to test my skills big time. I did find an awesome video that broke it down step-by-step on mycakeschool.com. This is the first time I have had a step-by-step recipe so it made it a lot easier then I anticipated.

I would show you step-by-step in this blog post but since I got the idea from mycakeschool.com I will not re-copy below because I don’t want to copyright. But here is how the cake turned out… Continue reading →

WTFriday!

Posted on 08/17/2012 by admin

There are so many times I am randomly stuck with the phrase in my head WT…and I had a thought. So I was thinking. I need to jot down these little one liners, phrases or just plane shocking things and made a Friday blog post called WTFriday.

Then I thought further…why not let anyone post a WTFriday post. So this is my invitation to all my fellow bloggers and friends. E-mail me via my contact tab any WTFriday line, post, thoughts, whatever. as long as I approve it, meaning not too offensive and spam, it will go up on a WTFriday post.

Water costs more then a Soda?!!

Posted on 08/16/2012 by admin

MS Word Clipart

I was a the World-a-Fair a while back and I was thirsty. I have been trying not to drink soda much or at all so I decided I would go get a bottle of water. So I walked on over to the drink counter and all they had were bottles of drinks, which is fine, and I looked at the price…Water was actually .50 cents more then a soda…seriously. I looked at the guy and I said “just curious if that is a typo, is your water really more money then the soda…” Continue reading →

Is it bad luck…or my own stinking fault?

Posted on 08/15/2012 by admin

MS Word Clipart

I was having a very horrible week a few weeks back and everything seemed to be “against me.”  Let me step back…it all started when I let stress take over my head and the insomnia kicked in at full force.

There was the moving stress of needing to pack, unpack and clean the old and the new place. The stress was also added when my husbands job changed. It changed for the better but it still adds stress. There was stress with me needing to get my new dance class underway and make it a success so I could get it into the Fall curriculum. There was stress over money…normal.

So what did I add to this…everything! Continue reading →

Question about Adsense

Posted on 08/15/2012 by admin

I have posted in the Google Adsense Help forum but it is hard to get any answers there.  Does any of my readers know why when I get a click(s) in the adsense for feeds report my earnings stay at zero? I hope someone knows the answer because I am not able to get any answer from the Google forum. Adsense for content give me a little $ for clicks but not the feeds.

Thanks!

Had to beg for my refund…and still had to dispute.

SECOND & THIRD UPDATE BELOW TOO:

OK so my last post about blog giveaways being a bust sometimes got a lot of response and I am glad to announce that most of the time, people really do get their prizes. There are the odd times they don’t but I guess like anything in this world you win some, you lose some…literally in this case.

Here is what ignited my last post.

I won a giveaway back in February and I did not use the coupon code until months later, August to be exact. I was worried it might have expired but it hadn’t as I was able to shop and use the code and it gave me the 100% discount. I did get charged for shipping which I thought was ridiculous for a blog giveaway as that is usually not the etiquette but seeing that the business cards were a great savings and we started a new business so  I thought I would pay the $33 shipping on a lot of business cards. I checked out and approved a $33 payment for shipping and was excited to finally get my business cards. But… Continue reading →

Blog Giveaways…do you always receive the prize?

Posted on 08/10/2012 by admin

I am throwing this out there to anyone who has won a blog giveaway and has had trouble or has never seen their product? I know that I have sponsored a couple giveaways and one time my shipping company did not ship it and as soon as I found out I reshipped. I get that happens sometimes. But what I want to collect is information on anyone that has not received or had to beg to receiver their prize. Here is why
