I used to run a HTML Help forum. I was pretty darn good at HTML and helping others learn web design. I did most of my coding by hand and really enjoyed it. After a while I took several years off from web design because I found another hobby. (MMORPG’s FTW!)

Fast forward to today. Now in addition to HTML we have CSS and PHP and heaven knows what else and I am totally lost with some of it. If the world would have just been satisfied with HTML I’d still be sailing along smoothly now. I guess a little frustration is worth it for the reward so I’ll just keep plugging along and goofing up until I can get it right.

I knew what was up when I saw him reaching for his keys on a Saturday night. “I have to go out for an emergency run”, he says, “maybe I’ll get some ice cream while I’m there”.

I say “if you love me you’ll get a flavor I like… but if you REALLY love me you’ll buy ice cream with peanut butter in it”… (I hate peanut butter ice cream and won’t eat that flavor and don’t really need to be eating sweets on Saturday night anyway. I’m trying to watch my weight, “trying” being the key word here)

He brought home chocolate. I think he loves me. I guess he doesn’t REALLY love me, or does he? hehe… yum yum… Breyers Chocolate… :)

I am so freeking sick and tired of Google Adsense. I guess I’m not smart enough to figure out how people make money from it because I have never made one thin dime. I think I’m going to take it off of all my sites and just forget about it. blah!

I never thought it would happen to me, but I am actually making money by blogging.

I have been paid $10.00 for 2 blog posts that I made on my original personal blog and I have 4 posts on another blog approved for $5.00 each (for a total of $20.00) and I’ve been tasked to write a post tomorrow for $10.00. None of these posts were made on this blog, of course, as it is too new to submit to any blog ad networks yet. That’s $40.00 for the month of March so far, woo hoo!

I’m very happy about it. The only problem at the moment is that the blog I’m writing paid posts on has a very narrow niche so there aren’t that many tasks I can take yet.

P.S. If you are wondering if you too can make money by blogging please feel free to check out my affiliates. They are listed on my sidebar under, er, “Affiliates”. heh

She took her walker outside to plant a potato (yeah, you read it right, heh) and to weed her flower beds. She said she fell foward and couldn’t get up. She yelled but nobody could hear her. Finally one of her neighbors heard her and went to get Louise but they couldn’t get the Old Lady into her house. They had to go get a young man to help get her in the house. (The young man who the Old Lady didn’t even know lived with the neighbor and looked like he was in his early 20′s and was clean cut and he said he was a physical therapist.)

They finally got her into her house and into her recliner. She said she was not hurt and had no pain anywhere. She also said Louise gave her a pain pill.

I know she should not be living alone and I know this blog makes my husband and I look like complete asses for allowing her to live alone. There is a lot more to it than I have written so far. I’m not sure why I’m writing about her in this blog. Maybe it is to explain myself. I have some guilt inside and maybe I’ll be able to purge it here. Or maybe not. It might make it worse. (which is has so far.)
