Today is the end of the month folks!  This months freebies will be taken down at some point and put in the store, so if you haven’t made a run thru JAN be sure to real quick!

Sorry no new post for you today.  Its the end of the month which means payroll for my team, monthly reports, and all that yuck!  hahah!  PLUS there was no school today because of snow so my monkeys are home driving me insane!

Picture sis in her room on her pc, playing Pirates of the Carribbean on disney.com against her brother, who is on the pc in his room.  And they are turned up full blast, AND they are yelling back and forth to each other where to go etc  "FOLLOW ME INTO THE CAVE"  "WATCH OUT THERES AN ALLIGATOR!" 

IT IS GOING TO BE A LONG DAY! Damn this snow,
CURSES!!! *screamed like Mojo-Jojo*

If you have any ideas for freebies or new products you would like to see next month, please feel free to leave me a comment!  I’m sure my friends are tired of my asking them what they want me to make.  LOL…

Also today is the last chance to get in on the JANUARY Challenges!  Not only does each challenge have a posting bonus, but do them all and get a free mega kit!  Check the forum for more info!

Thank you everyone for all the great comments I’ve received this month!  Both on 4shared, and here on the blog.  I have to say, I’m sorry I haven’t replied to them all, but I am getting better at it!  A few of you have asked if I perfer comments here or on 4shared.  I have to say first that ANY comment, is better then none.  But if I had my choice I would say on here (the blog).  The reason is, on 4shared, all the comments get lost at the end of the month when the item gets deleted.  On here they will still be there.  Also, comments on here I get an email of, and its easier to reply to them in a timely manner if need be, or to run off and read YOUR blogs if a link was included….  So I do perfer on here more then 4shared.  But I am happy to have them any way you choose!

anyhoo…

have a great day!  think of me sitting here crunching numbers and balancing spread sheets!  I will surely be thinking of you, sitting there… scrapping your lovely photos and playing in your graphics programs. 

OH!

PS…

Today was my official weigh in!  I lost 6 pounds this week!  YAY YAY YAY! GO ME!

My yesterday was so wild!

First it rained all day. BLUCK.  The school called.  Sis was having an allergic reaction to something UNKNOWN.  I ran and got her.  She ended up getting a shot of Dephinhydamine and a shot of Finegran (both are SP Im sure)  and then the STORMS came!

Wuh-HOE-HOEEEEEE!

WILD!

We went from 57 degrees down to 17 degrees in less then 2 hours.  Had winds of 70 mph, tornados, sleet etc.  What in the HELL is this world coming too?!

I took lots of cloud pics and even some video, though the vid is in AVI format so I have no idea how to get it online for you.  The clouds were awesome!  Very low and flat and man were they moving!

We made it thru alright.  Woke up to a freezing cold house.  The wind stole several of our storm windows!  It was so cold so fast last night the my front door was frozen shut this morning and the kids had to leave via the upper deck out back instead of the front door!  There are also pieces of roof all over our front yard today.  Don’t know if they came off our house or not.  DH isn’t off again until Tuesday to be able to check.

I’m so glad we made it through alright.  There were several deaths caused by the storm.  So big prayers out to those peoples families….

Anyhoo…

enough with the craziness that was my yesterday, how was your day? 

I have a small freebie for you today.  Be sure to grab it quick!  Its the end of the month!  Everything comes off the blog tomorrow and goes into the store!  If you haven’t done this months challenges yet, be sure to get them all done!  Everyone who does them all gets a FREE MEGA KIT OF THEIR CHOICE out of the store!

What else what else…

OH!

I’ve added a services page (see up top!)  I’ve decided to put a lot of my "custom" services back online.  Most of them have only been available to DSO STAFF or CLOSE FRIENDS for the last year or so.  I got a little burnt out before.  But, I figured why not start offering them again.  So this weekend I added…

8 Brand New Alphas, with option S4O/S4H licensing!

I’ve taken ALL of my designer "services" from behind the scenes, and ALL are now offered to the public!

and after a year hiatus from web design for the public, I’m putting my design skills back on the market!

I think this cartoonist is channeling my inner ME. haha!

LOL.. Today my friends is going to be one of THOSE DAYS.  You know, the should’ve stayed in bed kind?  LOL…

Got up late.  I hate Mondays.  Got the kids off to school.  DH was home this morning.  Which is odd, he works third shift and goes to college so he is rarely home in the morning.  Anyway, running around trying to get everyone ready for school.  What a PITA having an extra person to "get going" is.  So, every time I walked past him I would here this little half hidden giggle.  What?  He’s laughing at me, right.  So I’m thinking to myself, I sure need some of what ever he had.  Little giggley b@st@rd.  Where’s my coffee!   Got the kids out the door on time, miracle of miracles.  FINALLY smelled coffee, and while I was making a cup guess what I saw…

Not only was my shirt on backwards, but my bert & ernies were on WRONG SIDE OUT! hahah!  See what happens when you get dressed in the dark! hahaha! 

Today is either going to suck or keep me laughing all day… here’s hopin for the latter!!!

I have some really fun things going in the store in a bit, so be sure to pop in there after while and see what it is!  Why not now?!  BECAUSE!  I didn’t get them uploaded until LATE last night, and want to give my girls a chance to nab them before YOU do! bwaahaahaaa!!!  Neener neener neener… don’t cha wish you was a DSO Nutter  as KimB likes to call us, so you could get product PRE-RELEASE?!  *phblttttttt*
