Jillian, Jillian, Jillian!

July 7th, 2010

IMG_1435My baby is now 4 months…almost 5 months old! Time goes by FAST! She is trying out solid foods now. Mike wants me to say that now that only means that my boobs hurt more, but whatever! Anyhow, she loves and I mean LOVES bananas and apples…she was ok with the rice cereal, but it wasn’t really her favorite. Next foods we are trying are pears, peas and if Daddy will agree to it…peaches. For some reason, Mike is against giving her peaches, just because he doesn’t like them. So strange…I’m not going to deprive her of the fishies if she wants to eat them…even though I would rather die than eat fishies. Issues…

IMG_1431Jillian has also turned from a little lump of baby mush to a rollie pollie baby that doesn’t sit still for a second, unless she is on her way to sleeping. She started rolling over at 2 and a half months from her tummy to her back. At 4 months on the dot she started rolling over from her back to her tummy! While she is doing all this moving around, she is usually squealing with delight, or squealing just to squeal and hear the noise, or squealing for attention. She is a very active little baby and that makes her a lot of fun! It also means that she’s got me pretty busy and active entertaining her and making sure she isn’t getting into anything dangerous…which I am sure is just the beginning.

IMG_0218If I didn’t add enough pictures of her…here she is in her sunglasses! It was rather hot last week and the sun was pretty harsh, so she needed them when she and her babysitter went for a walk…plus, they make her look so baby posh!

FYI…my renewal stuff is all worked out…this blog will continue running, thanks to my friends at www.technstuff.com!

Renewal Time is Vastly Approaching

June 25th, 2010

My renewal fees are up in August to maintain my two blogs…both of which I have had zelch time to update in the past few years.

What to do, what to do. If I give it all up, I know about a few months later, I’ll just start blogging like mad on a free site and then I’ll get frustrated with all the RULES (I’ve got an issue with authority)…and end up buying space at a higher price than I am paying now. So, I know I will renew.

Since the domain fees get hiked after July 1st, it seems appropriate to renew those ASAP.

Now the question is whether I want to continue using GoDaddy’s hosting or move. I haven’t been entirely pleased with GoDaddy. The reason being, although I pay for more freedom…that’s all I get, more freedom…there are STILL RULES, where I can’t play with some cool functionality on this site, because I’ll be nosing where GoDaddy won’t let you nose. Plus, customer service makes it damn near impossible to get into your account if you get locked out due to forgotten passwords and forgotten pins (both of which I just can’t keep in my head). I went through this a year ago, where I needed to renew a domain and damn near forgot all my info. After many guesses with customer service…I finally got access to my account…they wouldn’t even use my credit card as verification that I was the owner of my site!

GoDaddy is very cheap, but I get limited freedom and not total freedom. I’ve been looking into moving hosting to another company, but it is over twice what I will pay GoDaddy. GoDaddy is still dirt cheap…and the price of freedom is so high. Such is life, folks! You can’t have it all.

Any suggestions?

Here’s a current picture of Jillian for your trouble of lending some suggestions.

Red Robin

March 5th, 2010

I would like to have a lesbian waitress when we go out to eat…then maybe my glass would get refilled. I’m not above batting my eyes for it either!

I’m just saying…at the Red Robin near our house, Mike always gets tons of refills. They always forget about me…the reason being that everyone who works there is either a straight female or a homosexual man. I’m not even kidding…they are always hitting on Mike when we go there. It’s totally hilarious! Mike ends up leaving in nervous laughter from embarassment…I find it completely entertaining. I keep telling him that we are going to have Jillian’s B-day party there next year, just so the guys can coo over a princess cake and belt out the birthday songs like they are Brittney Spears!
