Week in Review

A friend of mine, Jewels, reminded me last night that she Haiku'd yesterday and it got me thinking that I hadn't blogged in a week. Life has just gotten in the way and I really think my head spun like Linda Blair.

Let's see...what's been going on. Last Saturday a good friend of mine threw be a birthday surprise party. Something that was just supposed to be me, the kids and her family turned into everyone. Nothing like showing up to a formal affair wearing your semi-formal attire. It was all good though. We ate, drank, swam and had a great time. Even J did. He tried crawfish for the first time. Kind of forgot that you have to take off the shell. I didn't forget...he wouldn't let me. He was having too much fun sucking all the juices off the shell. Ewwww.



Moving on to the oldest. Well he's just a teenager. Wednesday he wanted to take mom out on the boat so bad for my birthday. That was it...spend a day just us, without the baby. Everything and anything yet wrong. It was actually kind of funny but he's got that male attitude where the world is going to come to an end if nothing goes right...yeah that one ;) It was all good as far as I was concerned. I was on the water, getting sun, not having to deal with anything but he was screaming, yelling, ranting and raving like that was going to make the motor start. Needless to say....this is how the day ended.

Bah....tan lines were made regardless of how it happened. And here in Florida...that's a good thing.


Moving on to me. I finally got off my tush and got the site up and running. I feel so cool to have a part of the web. I really own something now. It's strange to have that feeling that people are watching what you are doing, what you come up with next. I kind of like it :) I know that it's not going to make me millions right now...but hey, ya' never know what the future might hold. I'd be happy if it made the hosting payment right now :)


So that's about life in a nutshell. After this weekend I will be back, up and running, like a bad rerun of Friends.


Until then....everyone have a great weekend!

Shameless Plug

On May 1 I was faced with the unthinkable....unemployment. Sucks, really, it does. At first it was like a well needed vacation. Hell, I could gather to take a few weeks off. I had enough freelance work coming in that taking that time off was worth it.

Now reality hits. Uncle Same was so kind as to send that wonderful stimulus. Gone, rent paid. Groceries to feed the mouths of my hungry children. You know you have to feed them too? So here I sit. A laptop full of designs for invitations, announcements, web banners and graphics. But there is one problem....clients.

So I'm asking for the best thing out there...word of mouth. You can see designs and samples here. Ordering can be done on eBay or through the site via PayPal. Right now in June, if you order at least 25, you get 5 of those free.

Spread the word, get it out there for me *begging* please???
Otto Creations - Custom Photo Invitations and Announcements

Have chair...will sit
(please?)

This past 2-3 weeks have been nothing but go, go, go. I don't feel that I've sat down for 10 minutes. Where on earth to begin? Lets being on May 1. First day of the month and I loose my job. HA what a way to start off the month. At 8 o'clock in the morning it was a big deal. I think in the first 15 minutes of loosing it I felt every emotion possible; pissed, upset, relieved and everything else rolled into one. At the time it was a bad thing but now I know it's for the better.

Moving on.....Matt, my wonderful oldest child, blew out his knee goofin' off with a friend. He's now been in a locking brace for 3 weeks. He's torn both menisci (the shock absorbers in your knee), his quadrosep (sp) ligament and some other tendon. I was listening to the doctor up until the point she said he had floating cartilage and he'll be having surgery on June 10. He's been doing really good with everything. Physical therapy 3 times a week...make that boy work it.


Moving on yet again....with having this time off, it's really kicked my ass into gear with getting the invitation/announcement site going. I've done great with graduation being right around the corner. I've upgraded the blog to a real name Otto Creations, and things are starting to kick off.

So if you need announcements, invitations, hell...anything to print *insert shameless plug here*, shoot me an email. Everyday I'm adding more and more so always check back to see what's new.
