Shades of Red: 2 Columned layout: Fully Coded.

Posted on 5th June 2009 by Jessica in Packs for sale.

I made a layout to try to sell tonight! I am holding an auction on Myspace Pros Forum.

Here’s the link

I quite like the layout. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to code my own wordpress layouts, or I might be tempted to use this one. But I kind of need the money, sooooo I figured why NOT try to sell it!!

I am starting the auction at $5.00 with a minimum increasing value of $1.00 and if you want to buy it now, it will be $20.00.

Power Supply Box

Posted on 5th June 2009 by Jessica in Blog Plugs, Family

Sunday morning, I was in the kitchen getting Connor a bottle of milk, I heard a popping noise & just thought something had gotten into the fan that was blowing in the boys room. I walked in there after I got Connor his bottle, and looked and nothing was in the fan. I was like okay, well, whatever it was, already got out. I walked back into the living room, was about to turn on my computer, smelled burning plastic and automatically knew what the popping noise was. It was the power supply unit in my computer frying it’s self. With the winnings from the tournament that I won 2nd in, I went Monday & got a new power supply unit for my computer. Okay.. I didn’t think it was too bad. $30 and my computer was back working again. Last night, (or this morning, whichever you wanna call it.) at like 1:30 AM, I was just dozing off & had opened my eyes & rolled over, when I heard a frying sound. I opened my eyes wider & saw nothing but sparks coming out from under my computer. Yep, the brand spankin’ new supply box we bought just fried. We have had it in my computer since MONDAY. I called the place this morning & told them about it & the guy I spoke on the phone to told me that the power supply box had a 1 year warranty & to bring it back up there & they would replace it for me. We got up there & they just laid a new one on the counter & we left. The computer that I’m using is a Gateway GT5458E & I have NO clue what is causing this to happen but this is the 5th one that I have had in my computer.

Today is June 5th. In a short 14 days, Connor will be 1 year old! I can not believe how fast the following year has gone by! We will be having his birthday party on the 21st! He currently has 6 teeth & is getting in his 7th. He is starting to walk. It’s insane!!

Here is a new picture. One of each of my sons!!


He will be 3 years old on August 11th! He is almost potty trained. He only wears pull ups during the night when he’s sleeping. We tried it last night with him in underwear, but he woke up crying & was wet. He wakes up from naptime when he’s got to go. It’s just going to take some time. I bought a pack of pull ups on Monday or Tuesday & he has only used ONE out of them.


He’s my little goober! He desperately needs a hair cut. When his hair isn’t swept to the side, it’s clear down to the tip of his nose. When he turns 1, he’ll get his first hair cut!

Yeah, I love my babies! I’m still desperately undecided if I want another one, which is why I had my OB to put me back on the pill. I figure I’ll take that until we are decided for 100% sure whether we want another baby or not. Part of me wants to try one more time for the daughter I’ve always wanted, BUT right now, I’m quite content with my 2 rowdy little boys! IF (big IF) we do start trying for another one, I don’t want that to be UNTIL Connor is at least 3 years old. I’ve thought about getting an IUD in but my sister in law just had a bunch of problems with hers after 3 years of it being put in so I’m not quite sure about that just yet.

Since I am a nice loving wife, I will give you all the link to my wonderful husbands blog.

2nd place!! Yea baby!

Posted on 1st June 2009 by Jessica in Bowling, Family, Graphix Twist

Yesterday there was a bowling tournament yesterday. I wasn’t going to go because we didn’t have the money but a friend of ours offered RC to pay for us to enter. The deal was, He’d pay the $60 for RC to enter then RC would just work off what he paid for him & if I didn’t place and win any money back, we would use $60 from our EBT card, since he was using the rest of his grocery money to pay for my entry into the tournament. We went down there & I honestly didn’t bowl the best I have ever bowled but I ended up at the end of the last game at 5th place. So I made it into the rolloff. 3 of our “group” from Thayer ended up in the roll-off!! There was Jimmy in 3rd place, then me in 5th, then Randy in 6th. So, since I was in 5th, that put me bowling against the guy who ended up in 4th place. Then Jimmy and Randy bowled against each other. I couldn’t let the guy in 4th beat me by more than 8 pins because I only had 8 more pins handicap than him. I beat him scratch by only 3 pins lol. I was sweating pretty bad on that game. So that put me bowling against Jimmy. (17 years old by the way). I had to stay with in 19 pins ahead of him because he had 99 pins handicap and I only had 80. Whew.. Lemme tell you that was another close game. I think in then end, I only beat him 30 pins scratch. He had a 218 plus handicap & I had a 229. Yeah.. Let me tell you if I wouldn’t have pulled 2 strikes & a 9 pin in my last 3 throws, I’d have lost that game!! My last game, I bombed. It was the 8th game that I bowled that day. I’m wishing I would have stayed on top of my game & bowled like I should have but I was really nervous for even getting that far into the tournament and I’m damn proud of walking out of there in 2nd place & after paying back Walter the $100 that he gave me to get in, I walked out of there with $205 in my pocket!! Yea!!

Michael has been doing so awesome with his potty training!! He had an accident tonight, but I really don’t think he could have helped it. The poor boy had diarrhea so yeah. I found out tonight that my uncle has prostate cancer. I’m hoping everything works out for the best! Also my grandma has some kind of cyst on her brain & she’s going to the doctor on Thursday to find more out about that. I’m really hoping that nothing bad comes out of either of those 2 situations.

Would you care to spare a vote for me?? If you vote, please let me know by commenting with your “real first name” & I will make you a name graphic!
