Google Reader

Hi friends!

I'm sure you all have heard that Google Reader is going away soon. Well in a few months. They've been making this threat for a couple of years but now, its supposedly really happening! Sad Day. I've gone and checked out a few alternatives that I've heard about, since I'm not about to just give up on a feeder just yet! I need to have my blogs! LOL.
Feedly is an app that I've used on my iphone/ipod/ipad. I really liked how it color coded my different sections that I've organized all my blogs into. I love being organized. I know I'm not organized in all aspects of my life, but in the areas I am organized in, I am very particular about them. :) They also have a web application that you can use too. I have yet to check that out. Maybe tomorrow!
The next one I've found is on the web. Its called BlogLovin. Found at: BlogLovin. I had to reorganize the way that my blogs had already been set up. I follow hundreds of blogs (NO JUDGING!!). I've been a blogger and a blog reader since 2006. So, I had a lot in there. :)
When you sign up for these accounts, and I recommend you try both of them to find out which one fits your needs better. Go into your google reader FIRST! EDIT, your blogs that you read. Go thru and delete what you don't read, delete what you people don't blog on anymore, and delete those pesky annoying blogs, that you just don't want to see in your feed anymore! :) I say that, because it'll take time when you go to input your information into those two accounts. This was my main mistake in doing so. I got a little too excited to get in there and get going.
It took me an hour or so to edit my google reader. But it was so worth it to delete the hundreds of blogs, that people have turned private or just all around stopped blogging on. The fast way to do it, is to go to Google Reader, then to Settings, then to Subscriptions and you can unsubscribe to multiple ones at once, instead of just individually. You can check the box next to all the ones you want to unsubscribe, then hit unsubscribe at the top.
Hope I have helped you in some sort of way. I know its not a big tip or anything, but if I could help you...that makes me HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!!! :)

Dreams

Okay, Okay, Okay...
I know I'm behind in my daily blogging thing. Out of all the weeks, to not do it-you've missed out on some serious drama round these parts!! Don't worry I will blog and backdate it, cause some things are just worthy, of remembering/sharing!!!
I have crazy dreams. Maybe its the medicine I take (another post of 29 posts, maybe), or the stress I'm under sometimes, but my dreams are just whack-o!!! Last nite, I fell asleep trying to work on my blog stuff, and had all these events I've gone to recently on my mind. I totally fell asleep with my iphone and ipod in hand. My laptop and ipad in my lap, and remotes directly to my left. Tv still on... Yes, I was laying in my bed. Like I said, its been in one of those weeks! HaHa.
Since December, I've met so many different people that have all these wonderful blogs. Seriously some of these people are just amazing. I secretly admire so many of them, and want to be just like them. Just as successful as them as well! One day. So, my blog is turning out to be okay, and I"ve done alright. Not that I can't do better. But i'm feeling okay so far.
I feel like there's a standard to uphold on how to dress, and how to act, and what kind of purse to have, and how to do your hair whenever I go to these events, and sometimes I get nervous. I'm not one of those girls that really cares too much. I'm shy most of the time, which makes me come off, as a not nice person. I really am a nice person! Get to know me! I've been thinking about how I can fit in with all these girls, and get a little confidence booster. A booster that's not just in my unique views I Get on my blogs each week/month etc... Apparently I've been thinking about it too hard.
My dream consisted of me going to this house, with my neighbor. I don't even know my neighbors that live to the left of us, because they've all just moved in recently, and plus remember how I said I was shy. Also, in my neighborhood I don't really fit in!! I buy my kids clothes 2nd hand, not at a boutique store! LOL. Anyways, my neighbor said she was a blogger and that she had an event to go to but needed her baby to come, but she needed to socialize and needed someone to hold her baby. I LOVE babies, and her baby was cute, so I obliged. Derrrr!
So I took care of the baby most of the nite, walked around with "my neighbor" a bit. Met some people, told them about my blog. Gave them some of my business cards etc. Ate some really good yummies. It was in a basement of a house that I thought no one lived in, but apparently someone did, they just never came out of the house. The house was really nice inside, and the people that lived there were totally nice. At the end of the nite, I was helping to clean up and some lady with weird dyed black hair and all dressed in black (creepy cause i'm totally picturing her) she smelled like vanilla too. Eek I hate vanilla!!! She gave me her card, and said, "If you want to come to anymore of these events you will have to host one at your house and be approved for membership of this club."
I took the card, and said okay, I'll look at my schedule and get back with you. Why does it feel like that at some of the events I go to, even though they aren't at peoples houses most of the time?! So weird. I was given a plate of snacks. It was a glass plate that was glued on to a bright green paper plate. Say huh?!?! For some reason, I was driving somewhere and holding the food out of the window of my car (which wasn't my car in real life), and they fell out or I dropped them, whatever. So I went out to get them. I didn't stop the car though, I just hopped out. Seriously. Whoever is a dream interpreter-and interprets these dreams is just going to tell me I have serious issues! LOL.

3 minute post! Day 3

Day 3 of 3 minutes blogging routine. Boring Day, again. Took Bai to school, worked on website stuff...Picked Bai up, took her to Choir Class. Went to Ross-Found Dave some work clothes, and me some cute pants. The rest of the store was completely empty basically. I couldn't believe it. I love going there for t-shirt style shirts for me. And I couldn't find ONE! So shocking it seemed. Then got stuff for dinner, and dog food. Gotta keep that Jazzy fed. :)
Then picked up Bai and her friend from Choir class, came home, and realized Bai left her coat, so I had to drive her all the back to class. ITs only like 2 1/2 miles away, but still.
Good news of the day, is I woke up at 7AM. Normally I sleep in way late, and feel kinda blah all day. I awoke with so much energy today. However at 9PM i'm ready for bed. I think its one of my medications that's making me feel that way. Unfortunately I cancelled my Neurology appointment for tomorrow, so now I don't know if I should just stop it again. Last time I did, I had a raging month long migraine. It was terrible. Couldn't get out of bed hardly at all. Well I believe my time is up... I'm going to go to bed. I made a wonderful dinner, so that was a great ending to a decent day. Baked chicken, mashed taters, and green beans. MMMMMMMM! :) Til Tomorrow! :)

March 5-Day 2

Here's to another day of 3 minute update blog.

I'm totally addicted to this new show I've been watching this new show, and its totally consumed my life. I mistakenly looked online to see who the "mystery person" is. Eek! Total shocker! Today, I worked a lot on my blog(s). I'm excited to have motivation again. Glad I'm able to do it, and watch this crazy tv-show. Glad I have netflix. :)

Got Bailey from school, and she had a great day today. YAY!!! When we got home, she did a little Dr. Seuss play for me. Little cutie. Then we played with Jazzy, and had a few red vines.

Then we went to 7-11 and got a drink while waiting for Dave to get back so we could go to the CHinese Immersion meeting that I had a paper that said it started at 6:30. But noooo it actually started at 6PM. Argh. Thanks stupid school. Confuse me. Bai had a hard time sitting still and was being kinda goofy. So I had to take her out. Dave wasn't too pleased at all. We then came home, and decided to go get smashburger and bring it home and Dave & Bai watched Wreck it Ralph, after Bai did her homework. She did her math homework so fast! So proud.

In great news, I got season 2 of Duck Dynasty in the mail (or delivery service today). For some reason whomever delivers it, FedEx, UPS, OnTrac, can't seem to figure out that the garage door, nor or side door is NOT our front door. I always get the text that says, you're package has been delivered, but can't find it at the front door. Its like a treasure hunt! LOL. Duck Dynasty is hilarious!!

Hard Day

What do you do when your kid has a hard day at Kindergarten? Then she wakes up the next day and flat out refuses to go. It was very hard to be the mean parent this morning and force her to go. Luckily my kid is the best kid ever and a Turkey sandwich was the perfect bribe for her. Silly kid.
Yesterday was her first day back on track (year round school) after having 3 weeks off, so I guess getting adjusted back to the old ways and seeing all of her peers was hard. Apparently they all had trouble getting along.
When I picked her up though, after school she said her day was MUCH better. Thank goodness! I might have gone crazy, wondering what really happened, had she had a bad day again.
Being a 6 year old kid these days is such a hard job. I mean, she's got an ipad, ipods, iphones, netflix, hulu, huge fancy tv's, and video game consoles and a bunch of other cool things at her disposal. But ultimately having friendships is the BEST thing in the world.

3 Min Journal

I've heard of people doing a 5 minute journal, but since i'm a fairly fast typist I'm going to do a 3 minute journal, and i'm going to try and do it 5 times a week (or more if possible). It'll just be to catch up on my day, so I have something to look back on. I'd like to challenge all bloggers to do this, more often. I didn't say do it on your main blog you have, but you'll appreciate it later in life, i'm sure! It'll help me practice my bloggin skills, that I've been seriously lacking on lately. I've been working mostly on my crafty blog to get that up and going, and have seriously neglected this one! :)
So today, I picked Bai up from school and she was crying pretty much about her day. When I dropped her off, her friends had already been a bit mean to her and made her cry, but she got over that fast and I left her at school. I went home and did a few chores, then picked her up after school. So I had to run to Best Buy to pick up my new Jump Drive. That was interesting... Bai was still grumpy and upset, so we decided a trip for frozen yogurt would totally help her out. It totally did. She added gummy bears and gum balls and sprinkles to her cookie crush and vanilla froyo. I got my favorite flavor there. Raspberry Rap. MMMMMM. That is the best ever!!! She then called her Dad on the way home, and asked if we could have Subway for dinner. She loves Subway. He, of course said yes, and we went when he got home. After Subway we had to run into Target to get a few things. She got some color wonder paper. So I think we made up for her crappy day at school. Then we came home, and watched a couple TV shows, then got ready for bed. My day is not that exciting. Some days are, but today...NOT. :) Totally boring.
Well I guess except when Jazzy was interested in what I was eating for lunch...



PS: Don't forget to visit my other blog: Aim's Creations I've been working hard over there!!

Feeling Blah...

Lately I've been feeling super...blah.

Not sick exactly. But not perfectly healthy either. Well I'm never perfectly healthy. But I've not been feeling up to Aimee "standards".

It started New Year's Eve. We were running around doing errands and about 5pm I got a weird pressure on the top right of my head. It went away after a few minutes so I didn't think too much of it.

Then I went to a little New Year's Eve get together and had fun. :). Thanks Stacie & Tony! Then the next day I slept ALL day! I had to be awoken to eat. My head was doing a weird pulsating thing, on the right side.

10 days later I still have that throbbing pain!! With that pain, I've lost some eyesight in my right eye. I'm extremely tired. I could sleep all day.

It feels like my brain or something in my skull just keeps moving. It is super annoying.

My body feels intensely weak now, if I over work myself like doing laundry or vacuuming etc...the pulsating gets more intense. My memory is also fading. Well maybe fading isn't the right word, but the word I should use, I can't find. Which leads me to my next problem. I have serious brain fog. I can't remember people's names, I can't remember where certain roads are. I can't remember if I did certain things. To make you feel better, I'm not driving much. I drove to school and back twice which is in the same neighborhood just once this week.

My whole body feel just bleh. I feel bleh. I feel like a terrible mom and wife. However, thru all this I am still doing laundry, still cooking, still doing dishes, still vacuuming, still volunteering at my daughters school and still trying to find things to laugh about. If I didn't laugh, I would get majorly depressed, and not want a solution. But I do. My life is just getting good.

I've lost some weight in the last month. I looked in the mirror, and I was very shocked to see I have cheekbones. I can't believe how shocked I was by that. I'm not working out but I am trying to eat better, that's for sure.

Well, I need to stop this now as my tingling fingers (and brain) are getting lots worse. I'm probably not making any sense at all either. I'm going to try to post in between my sleepiness some positiveness or something. :)
