St. Louis Photographer » A Journal by Holly McCaig

Like that title? I often feel like I’m rambling as of lately. Hmmm.

A layout of my brother and his girlfriend, Andrea. I used Jen Wilson’s Stories kit for this one as well as a stitch from Tonya Doughty and the framed brush by Rhonna Farrer from her new kit at 2 Peas.

Bad storms coming through tonight – wonder if I’ll sleep. I gotta go to bed at a decent hour though since I need to work in the morning.

Can I just butt in and say that “The Office” is soooo damned funny. AHHAAHAHAH

I feel like shopping – but not sure where to go shopping. Any good thoughts of online browsing?

Tomorrow’s the big day for KristyAnn to get a sale going at the site! YAY!!! I’m so happy she’s heading over!!!

Good morning all. A little different day today. Stayed up late last night working on a project with my Life’s Journey flip book. It will take a while to finish it so I don’t want to share what I’ve done so far. I’m taking my time on that project. Gotta make some cards today too. You can tell a front is coming through because my sinuses are a mess. Yuck. Just purchased Rhonna’s new kit at 2 Peas – man, they are on the ball this month over there. Love it because the kit has that same design she’s got going on at her new Cafe Press shoppe! Great job Rhonna Dear!

BTW – I’ve eaten the entire bag of Reece’s Dark Chocolate minatures. Pig!

My Digital Rebel Field Guide arrived yesterday – can’t wait to dig into that book.

Oriental Trading came in the mail just now. So colorful the cover is.

Thanks for the understanding of my crabbiness yesterday – I see I was not alone.

Gotta go put up Spring in St. Louis. Be patient if we crash!

***Updated – Spring in St. Louis is now up in the shoppe for sale….and as promised, those free gift glitz strips to everyone (they match the kit). DOWNLOAD

I’ll post it for sale tomorrow – I’m sorta nervous about the remaining bandwidth this month after my host is being assanine…just paranoid we might crash it or something – probably not, they may cut me off or something. I dunno – but don’t want to screw things up since KristyAnn is moving in too! Be patient with me!

Love

WOW, crabby patty I am, I am!

So, nap made me feel better….that is until AI. So, why weren’t the two hoosiers (that’s St. Louis slang for rednecks, trash) in the bottom? And, MY GOD, I have to sit through country night next week? Lord help me! Can’t believe Katharine was in the bottom three. I may just have to pick up the phone and actually vote now.

So, I went and got chocolate – oh yeah, Reece’s miniatures in Dark Chocolate. Oh yeah. So good – along with some Pomegranate Green Tea. YUM. Ahhh, much better. Now I can gear up to get my craft groove on. Breathe in…….hoooooooo…….Breathe out……..shoooooo. Namaste!

I’m in an “annoyed” mood today. So, let’s just begin.

I’m taking some bloggers off my “bloglines” program. Why you ask? Well, there are some people on there that annoy the hell out me. They annoy me with their attention-craving crap. Thinking they owe the world a re-cap on their life and expect the comments, expect the connection. Frankly, I think some of these people live for their bloggin. Me? It’s just my way of spilling my feelings or thoughts out. I could care less if anyone read it. Granted, I have some AMAZING friends from my blog. I think it’s just the attitude that they portray in their bloggin’. Okay, I told you I was in an annoyed mood, so I’m just going to delete them from my bloggin’ alerts and be done with it. Hate me for speaking my mind, I don’t care.

I’m annoyed with American Idol. There were three people worthy of being on that stage last night: Elliott, Taylor and Chris. Maybe it’s because I HATE that country, twangy crap that Bucky and Kellie “THOUGHT” they could actually sing. HATE THEM!!!!!!!!!!! I really do. Annoyed with them. Annoyed with the naive-ness of Kellie. Annoyed with how Bucky dances.

I’m annoyed with my current hosting service for my website. They have a support ticket program, yet you have to register to use it. I did…waiting for my approval….two days later. WHATEVER? What if I really needed help? I think it’s a one-man show where they portray a huge team of people. Cause I always get emails from the same damned person. For some reason my monthly subscription for my fees, through PayPal didn’t go through – which makes NO sense because there is a lot of money in the bank account tied to the credit card I’m using there. I ask them a simple question of, can you ask paypal if there is any reason they were getting a failed message? You would think because I stated there “is” money there, and my credit card “is current” that maybe they could troubleshoot on their end. I know PayPal isn’t fool-proof, so maybe there is a technical glitch somewhere. They said they couldn’t check on what wasn’t theirs? LOL Okay, you want to get paid? You don’t want to do a little teeny tiny research? Hmmm, maybe you don’t want my business? Hmmm, maybe. Annoyed – assholes.

One thing I am NOT annoyed with is the beautiful day that we’re having. I’ve got the windows open, going to nap this afternoon – I got up early for my class observation this morning. Then I hope to get create, in the paper way. YES, paper!!

So, now that I’ve completely gone on a HUGE bitchfest, after I stated once before that I wanted my blog to be more positive, I’m going to sign off. LOL At least I can laugh about it.
