ads?

i'm just playing (see previous post). exploring the world of google adsense. pardon the ads, but click on them if you'd like. call it market research.

i learn by playing

i still have no job. opportunities are slim out here, though there has been an uptick in activity in the past 2 weeks. so in an effort to branch out into new worlds, i am immersing myself in social media marketing. not by taking classes, or attending seminars, but by downloading multitudes of applications to my laptop, and subscribing to endless numbers of social networking (and the like) sites. to date, i've only actually canceled my account on one site...it was just bad.

so, i play. every day. and maybe one day, i will learn enough by playing, and get a dang job.

i always forget i have this dang thing.

hence, it's updated so infrequently. i put a link on my fb page, with the hope that i'd see it daily, and remember to update. but, i still forget.

things finally picking up on the job search...had some good activity this week, with some follow ups next week.

dogs = good; crabs = good.

weather is getting nicer and nicer each day. forecast for the weekend is warm and sunny. and THIS, my friends, is why we moved to san diego.

the in-laws are coming for a visit next week...so very excited!

this weekend, i think we may finally make it to the grocery store for the first time since we moved into the new house. it's critical at this point, as i'm living on tuna and popcorn for meals. not so healthy.

peace.

i took a month off.

and now i'm back. in short....we had awesome visitors, we found a house, we moved, we went to cleveland (via chicago), we drank some, we partied some, we came home, we unpacked, and now i'm looking for a job. still. ugh.

i've been around the world...

...and now i'm bored.

p-man and i finished our trip around the phileas world with a bang. a fun, festive party, complete with cake (thanks christy!), and lots of good friends. so glad that we've met so many great people since we've moved here.

other than that, same ol' shizzo. the hubby is on the road again, with no signs of slowing...but, it's for good reason. and really, i'm not bringing home a paycheck, so who am i to complain? he's busting his ass, and i'm damn proud.

doggie birthdays are coming up! the puppenheimers are getting up there...peanut will celebrate #13 on friday (3.06), and max will hit the big 1-4 next thursday (3.12). and lets not forget our little molly and chico....while they are far away in miles, they are never far from my heart. molly will be 14 a week from saturday (3.14), and obviously, chico shares #13 with his brother, peanut on 3.06.

and now...back to my leftover oggi stix, lindemans bin 56 chardonnay, and idol.

g'nite.

this one's for you...

...mark. post post post post about nothing nothing nothing.

:D

maybe i shouldn't blog

why? because i never have anything good to say. pretty much everything i have to say, i say on FB, so why bother repeating? at first, thought it would give me something to do, but really, i don't need another social networking site, or the like, to keep up. but yet, i love my blog. it contains virtually nothing, but i love its existence. primarily because i think the name "guitarley" is cool. props to p-man for that one.

update? not really. francis and chester are still hanging in there...despite humidity and temperature inconsistencies.

i am currently watching a show about autistic savant identical twins who, among other things, are infatuated with $100,000 pyramid. this is mildly entertaining. i wish i was that smart.

and i wish i had made something better for dinner. something better than 4-day old leftover pizza from brickoven. it was tasty on day 0, but on day 5, not so much.

i should spend a little less time on PPM, too.

one of these days, if i ever figure out if anyone actually reads this, maybe i'll write more. until then, you all (and by all i mean, all 1 of you), get this mindless dribble. :D

potent potables

i think that's a not too infrequent jeopardy category. i don't have a whole lot to say other than, i decided that i should leave the house more. working at home was fine, well, when i was actually working. but now, my "job" is to find a job, and while i pine away at that "job" for nearly 7-8 hours every single day, it becomes more and more exhausting.

moving is on the horizon, but again, waiting for that call that means we are once again a dual-income family. yup, lots riding on that....

oh, i am also more than 1/2 way around the world in the "80 beers around the world" club at philleas. way to go. really, all that means is that i drink too much beer.
