24 Jan 2011

Had a great weekend here. It was relaxing and just productive enough. Kimball needed some new clothes, so I took her shopping and we had a nice time. Babysat this morning - that went pretty good too. Right now I'm cleaning up my c drive - I've been getting messages that I'm running out of room. It's time! Well, that's it for now.....more later?

21 Jan 2011

I had to change the 2010 I originally put on this post to 2011! I wonder how long I'll be doing that? I'm having a good week. I started exercising - and put in 3 days this week on my exercycle. I also began selling my plasma (think blood not TV). It's going well and is a nice side source of income. I'm feeling good. That's probably the most important thing. I'm taking it easy today - trying not to jinx anything.

Hope all is well with you. I haven't taken time to catch up on everyone. Hopefully soon!

17 Jan 2010

Finally back posting again! So much to update - I've been putting it off. No more! So my new job - about that.... I found that I didn't like working in that field. So, the company liked me enough to give me a try at another position - and although I felt comfortable doing that job, I felt the timing wasn't right - having Taylor at home a couple of days a week and all. So, once again, I'm underemployed as a substitute teacher. That's working for now. We did get the house rented out - it was only empty for 1 month - and things are picking back up for DJ now - so we'll survive :)

I'm back to the computer having lots of crazy fun doing family history research. So, I'll try to put some more links and things that you might be interested in on here. Here's the first one: http://christoph.stoepel.net/geogen/en
This is a surname research tool that will enable you to look at the countries of Germany and Austria and see how common your surname is. Of course, if your name isn't from that country - it probably won't help you much. If your name is from there - it should help - it gives you a map that shows the distribution and areas where that name is more frequent (more people with that last name).

This is the link to Great Britian - and it has a worldwide search too!
OK - the worldwide search is the best - I just checked!

How fun is that?!?

Well, that's probably enough for today - more tomorrow?!?
