Made a change.

Posted on January 24th, 2008 by Christie in Uncategorized

I decided on a totally different camera.  I am not ready for the commitment of a more advanced camera.  Meaning the one I wanted requires different lenses.  Well the one I am going with has that option for different lenses.  Plus its cheaper and will get me thru with what I need.  I am in no need of a commitment of a camera.  Its not worth that much to me.  So the one I chose is one that the sales man showed me, explained the difference of the ones I wanted initially.  Then I told him exactly what I was looking for, a camera I can zoom in on and the picture not be blurry.  So he showed me that and the example of a fresh shot.  And it was clear as day.  I like that.  Makes me happy.  
Well I am tired and I am off to bed.

Got it done!

I needed to change my address with my bank in order for me to order new checks online.  I found some really cute ones, and yes I have a thing for Tinkerbell so I just now got done ordering me some new checks.  I can’t wait to get them and I got them at a good price too.  Two boxes for $13.00 and they are duplicate.  Yes I still use checks for bills and such. 

Then I signed up for two weeks free with Netflix and I got my movies ordered yesterday.  Should be here either today or tomorrow cause if I read right they are coming from Des Moines,IA.  That is only a couple hours away.  So I am estatic that they will be here so soon. 

Ok I wanted to explain my name for my website.  I love it, it seems to fit my life perfectly.  No matter what happens in my life, I always say.  U Gotta Be Kiddin Me!!!  But usually with a non-proper word in the middle there somewhere.   So one day, I just entered the domain name and voila’.  It fits me, my life and everything around me.   So there you have it.

Now for todays gameplan.  Since I just checked the IRS website.  My refund should be in my account tomorrow.  I have bills to get taken care of almost right away.  One bill I am paying off, then paying the Pet Deposit for this house here.  Which I will get back when my boyfriend gets his tax return.  Then running to the light company and paying my bill.  I don’t need to be behind.  Right there is most of my return.   I still am purchasing a new camera and a laptop.  I already told myself I can spend that money on myself for once.  Actually I am buying this one particular camera and its not the Canon Rebel XTi either.  Its a equalivent to it only from Nikon.  And its on sale this week too!!!  Whoot!  With a Lens.  So I am excited and it also comes with a 1G memory card too.  SO that saves me some money.  For my laptop its gonna be a cheapy one.  Just one where I can do my online work in my room. Yay!!1

Income Tax Time…

Posted on January 24th, 2008 by Christie in Family, Kids

Most people will think I am completely nuts when I say I love this time of year.  I love helping out my friends AND family this time of year.  I have already done my Mom’s, my friend Brenda, mine and started working on a few others.  I usually do anywhere between 5-10 people.  One person in particular I have done theirs and gotten them back a good chunk of money because they forgot about the Earned Income Credit thing for their kids.  Last year it was a huge amount.  SO good for them.  I never, ever charge anyone for doing their taxes.  I can’t.  Not when I know its being done for free online.  I don’t feel right doing that to people.  If people offer, I say give it to one of their kids or grandkids.    I guess its how I am.  Now for my Mom…its another story.  She can buy my dinner or something…lol.  Cause I know she loves me!!!!

Well, as you see the wordpress theme is still the same.  I for the life of me cannot figure out the FTP thing.  Either that I don’t know how to copy the files into the directory.  I get to that point but my computer is being a witch and not cooperating.   What happens is, I get into my FTP program which is FileZilla.  I go to the directory of where I am to put the file.  BUT where I have downloaded the theme its in a ZIP folder and my ZIP program keeps shutting down on me.  Piece of crap.  So, I guess I have to find a program that will let me open them. 

**Update** Note to self…reboot once in awhile…it helps.  Now I feel like a lush!
