As you can see, I really haven’t been in here very much posting. I have been so busy trying to get ready for the big day. I have been seriously busy shopping, cooking, cleaning and wrapping that I haven’t spent very much time online. But, the big day is almost here, so I would assume that life will get back to normal shortly. So until then have a great day and hopefully your not quite as busy as I seem to be.

Earlier in the month I received a chance to do some general transcription from home for a company. They sent me my first two files, and after a little emergency I was able to get them finished. They were very understand about my emergency and worked with me until I could get it finished. As this was my very first work with them, I kind of thought that maybe they wouldn’t use me again because I wasn’t able to meet the deadline. But, they liked my work and offered me more! So I have been doing a lot of work for these guys and was just informed that there will be more on the way. There will be so much work that they will be able to keep me busy until sometime in August.

So, if you haven’t seen me around very much lately, now you know why. And if this other work does come through, then I won’t be around a whole lot during the summer either. I’ll keep you posted.

As you all know, I have a part time job outside of the home plus I do a little bit of Internet work as well to earn a little more income. I only work about eight hours a week outside of the home so I don’t earn a whole lot of income that way. This is why I also try to earn income through working from home. Right now I do some paid blogging, some paid article writing as well as some home transcription work. All of this does keep me busy. Some weeks more than others. For the next couple of months I will be really busy writing articles and I also have a couple of contracts for some general transcription jobs. So, it’s really good that I get this extra income and I’ll take it when I can. I’m not real sure how busy I will be after the next couple of months, but hopefully something else will come up.

That’s the thing when a person relies on this type of work for income. You just never know when it will come and when it does, you just have to be thankful that you have the work. At least for now that is.

I’m still here guys!

It’s been a pretty crazy week. Earlier this week my manager’s husband passed away. So I’ve been working quite a bit at my outside job trying to help her out. So that has pretty much put my blogging on hold for a little while. She will be out for at least a couple of more weeks. So I really don’t know how much blogging I’m going to get done over the next few weeks. But when things start to slow down at work, I will be back to blogging.

Until then. Take care and I will talk to you soon.

So I guess earlier this month Google did it’s dance once again. I didn’t even realize that a page rank update had been done until I went into one of the forums I frequent and seen some talk about it. The reason why I hadn’t noticed was because I don’t blog as much as I used to so I really hadn’t paid much attention to it.

Well, after this update every blog I own is now a pr 0. Oh well, it was good while it lasted I guess. Since I’ve been blogging for over two years now, I really don’t pay too much attention to Google page ranks anymore. I realize they really don’t mean a thing. So now I blog for me and my readers and not for Google.

So how did your sites fare this time around. Did you go up in rank, stay the same or go down as I did?

Well the  upgrade is done and my blog didn’t break.  How did I manage that you ask??  Well I will happily tell you.  I took a look at the process that it was going to take to do the upgrade and realized straight away that there was NO WAY I was ever going to be able to do this on my own.  So…I did what I always do and that was e-mail one of my blogging friends.  Thank god this girl is on the Internet and knows what she is doing.  I can’t tell you how many times I’ve e-mailed her in a panic over the past couple of years and she has graciously helped me each and every time.

And who is this wonderful person you might ask.  Well it’s Lisa of course from http://mythoughtsideasandramblings.com. If it wasn’t for her, I would have had quite a few broken blogs. So…thanks again Lisa. And now I have all my blogs upgraded to the newest version with no broken blogs in site!

Well I have decided that it’s probably about time that I  upgrade this blog.  Currently I’m running an old version of wordpress so I think it’s time that I upgraded to the 2.7.  But unfortunately for me, I’m not really computer savey and I have a tendency to break things.  This is why I normally don’t mess around too much with any of my blogs.

But…  The time has come and I’m going to try to do the upgrade today.  But…don’t worry folks, if I do break it, I have a person ready and willing to help me.

Wish me luck and hopefully none of you will see a broken blog after this upgrade takes place.

Well it happened and I knew it was going to.  Lately on this blog I have been getting tons and tons of spam comments.  So I spend quite a bit of my time deleting these comments.  Well as I was on my deleting comments role, I ended up deleting real comments.  And for this I’m sorry.  As soon as I hit the delete button to the real comment I had no clue on how to get it back.  If I didn’t have to delete so many comments, then this wouldn’t have happened.

So..for all you comment spammers, get a life and stay away from my blog.  For all your other’s please do stop by with your comments and I promise I’ll try to be more careful in the future with my delete button.  And to the commentor which I deleted…sorry!  I didn’t mean to do that.

Well it seems to me that lately Entrecard is down more than it’s running.  Once again today while dropping my cards from my many blogs, the site jammed up and now won’t let me in to finish.  So I guess I’m done with Entrecard for the day without getting everything done that I wanted to.

Is anyone else here facing the same problem.  I’m really hoping it’s the site and not my own connection that is the problem.  Oh well, I guess now I have an excuse to get off the computer and go do the millions of other things that I really should be doing.

So, is Entrecard up or down for you all today?
