Current Frustrations

For some reason I can't get above 309 friends on Facebook. Last Monday I had 309 and I accepted at least 3 new friend requests this week. Yet...I still have 309. Weird.

It's Monday.

I have lost and gained the same. five. pounds. for at least the last 3 months. Just think if it would have been all loss. I would have dropped at least fifteen. But no. For some reason I keep thinking I need to feed my face hole and it's slowin' me down. I'm afraid to go back and look at the weight loss journal to see exactly how long I've been hovering here.

Google+. If you haven't signed up for it, I recommend that you don't. Or at least know that when you do, it will automatically import all of your pictures from any Google account you have. Like, say...your blog. Then when you delete that album from Google+ because you don't want every stinkin' picture (including buttons and blog stuff) on there...it will delete. all. of. your. pictures. on. your. blog.

They haven't made The Outlander into a movie. (i think a lot of lassies are upset about this, nay?)

Every time I do a post that is a paid advertisement...(mind you i've only done 5 in over 2 years) I lose a follower. Either on GFC or a subscription. Note to anyone who unsubscribes...I get a message telling me who you are. This makes me laugh.

Little Boy starts Kindergarten this year. This is not frustration as much as "wallow in my own pathetic depression and stew over everything sad that's ever happened to me" time. And as if that isn't enough: he's got a loose tooth. Stab me in the heart now, please. (yes, i realized i'm blessed to have a child that is growing. yes, i realize i'm blessed to see him progress. yes, i'm unreasonable and will whine about it anyway.)

School starts in less than 2 weeks. You all know how much I hate "back to school" time. I'm sure I've mentioned it a time or two hundred.

I completely forgot to announce the winner of the My Memories giveaway. I didn't forget to actually go through the process of drawing a winner (random.org) and then letting the winner know that they won...but I forgot to tell you all about it. So...if you didn't get an email from me about it, you didn't win. I'm sorry. Luckily I'm not usually that hair-brained (but click up there on my Scrapbooking DEAL page and enter my code to get it at a really good price if you are interested. i played with it more this weekend and made a bunch more stuff. so fun!).

We're flat broke right now. Payday's Thursday. I think it's been about 4 years since we were paid last.

I accidentally deleted my Shop the Cursing Crafter page up there at the tippy-top. So I made one for the second level/row of page links. D'oh! I won't even get into how I accidentally deleted it. Suffice it to say I'm a hot mess right now.

I think tomorrow I'll tell you what I'm looking forward to or what is not frustrating me...hmmm...should be a short post! Haha!

that is some crazy BS about Google+, i will NOT be signing up.

i also think it is hysterical that just because you do an ad post that people "un follow" seriously? grow up! i super love that you get a notice tattling on them. Rad!

i think it is sweet that you wanna wallow in your kid's milestones, it is hard watching them grow up. wallow away, you earned it.

BIG huggles!

sarajo said...

I noticed all my pictures on Google+ but just made it so only I could see them. Good to know that I shouldn't delete.

That is too funny. People unfollowing you. I just choose not to read. Which turns into a bad habit of not reading any blog. Which leads to not commenting. Maybe I should start reading all blogs again. Hmmm....

I can't wait for school to start! Really, does that make me a bad mom? I've got two going this year. But, as I'm wide awake at 2 am, I'm thinking, is my little girl really ready? Milestones are big. I guess that is why they are called milestones and not inchstones. hahahahaha...me laughing at my own joke. :D

becca said...

hugs and i agree with Mamarazzi on all. haven't tried Google +1 i've been to afraid and now you tell this will avoid like the plaue. hope little one enjoys school I can't believe little man started sixth grade.

Shawn said...

I'm so glad I hit the "not Now' button for Google+!

You get a message every time you loose a follower? Please tell me how, that would entertain me.

Watching your kids grown up and going back to school is such a tough one! Stay strong, you can't change it so don't stress over it!

Have a better week friend!

tara said...

Wait.. How do I set it up so I get a message when someone unfollows!? Sounds entertaining! :)

Connie Weiss said...

Sending a kid to Kindergarten is torture. I'll help you through it!

Colleen said...

Wow, good to know about Google+.

I'm having similar feelings this morning. I am not motivated at all to touch this mountain of work OR to write the anniversary post. Ugh.

Here's to a less frusterated tomorrow!

Furry Bottoms said...

I was wondeirng about Google+. Whats so great about it? And I am glad I didn't sign up for it yet!

Didn't you know, it's practically the LAW that Mondays suck. It wouldn't be Monday if it didn't suck. But if you do by happensce (is that a word?) have a great Monday, it feels good in a way getting away with murder does. Not that I would know.

Furry Bottoms said...

About followers, FB is very flaky that way. I gave up any respect for the friends list on FB because it lies. It LIES!!

Lourie said...

Yikes! I did sign up with google + Now I am worried! Stupid Google! I hear ya on the 5 pounds. Grrrr. I just want those pesky pounds to poof be gone already!

Liz @ Sugarplum Creations said...

:( I'm sorry, friend. Sounds like a no-good, very bad day. I have those. Actually, I had one yesterday. It wasn't pretty. What is up with the 5lb back and forth. I hate that! I was doing really good with the baby weight, and then . . . I started baking. Two blackberry cobblers and a pan of brownies later . . . well, let me just tell you, it doesn't mesh real well with weight loss.

Brandy@YDK said...

sorry to hear about the picture thing. i want them to email me when i lose followers. i think.

Impulsive Addict said...

I've lost 3 followers in a week. But you know what? I DONT EVEN CARE! I usually do but right now, I don't. I will never undelete you.

Ok...it's been 4 years since you were paid last? WTF? That's crazy insane!

Google+ can suck it. I signed up but I haven't done much with it. I don't like change very much.

VandyJ said...

All my current frustrations can be summed up in one word. Monday. I am choosing to blame everything on Monday.
Hope your Monday gets better.

Steph said...

I've never done a sponsored post. I don't usually read them either but I'd never delete someone as awesome as you for doing one.

I must know how to find out who stops following your blog. Someone dropped me like a bad habit last week.

McVal said...

Oh you poor woman! You vent all you need to.
Every time I mention my dad and his pranks I lose a follower. I lost three tho last week and I didn't even mention him! What's up with that?!
I'm hoping that 3 poor saps accidentally deleted their blogs... Yeah...
And how do you know who stops following you?! Not that I'll DO anything with that knowledge... seriously!

The Random Blogette said...

HUGS! If it makes you feel any better I have -$26 in my bank account right now and Steph from Babes Rockin' Mami is visiting me tomorrow through Thursday morning. Shit. Thank God I had some cash put aside.

Mrs. Petrie said...

Rude to unsubscribe! Mimi is the bomb!
And the kids are growing up too fast, which means I am getting old too fast. Also not fair.

blueviolet said...

I have never unfollowed anyone ever. I refuse to unfollow. I had no idea about that Google + picture thing. That is FREAKY!!! I keep getting people adding me to their circles that I'm not sure I want to be encircled by....complete strangers.

stephanie said...

thanks for the heads up on google+ I'd hate for all my nekkid pics to end up on the webs. wait what? ;)

Emmy said...

Holy cow that is so messed up about Google+- leave it to Google to do something like that. So sorry you lost all your pictures :(. I would cry. And you cry all you want about kindergarten it is a bitter sweet thing.

Ashley Rose said...

Google+ is....meh.....but, as someone mentioned above, you can just make it so that no one else can see that album

Marina Reede said...

okay, now you can start a monday's suck blog! like your friday confessionals. boy, pretty soon we're going to have to pay you in something besides chocolate for keeping us entertained!! and, well, my yellow rice lept onto my white dressy work shirt today!! (it might have had something to do with the spoon accidentally flicking it at myself!!) here's to many more better day and as always muchos gracias for the laughter!! :)

The Empress said...

WHAT??

Are you serious about the google plus shit?

You are kidding me.

Something has to be done, can you tweet this out?

I am on google plus b/c ppl told me I HAD to get on it.

I don't understand why.

But now, this?

Jiminiy christmas I'm scared now.

What can I do? It's too late, right?

O my god.

shortmama said...

So glad I have avoided Google +...I dont even know what the hell it is!

Sarah Kate said...

Oh my Lord, I am so sorry you're having to fix all your blog posts. I'd probably be in tears. That's a ton of work. I'll boycott Google+ with you. :o) Who really needs to be on more than one social networking site anyways?

Where do you normally host your pictures for your blog? Do you just upload them to blogger and pay their fees once you go over the free space you're alotted? I'm trying to decide what to do with mine and avoid paying any monthly dues or whatever.

Karen Peterson said...

That all DOES sound frustrating! I'm sorry!

Xazmin said...

How do you get a notification that someone quit following you?

Xazmin said...

Also, I think it would be funny if you went to their blog, or email and said "Hey, I know you quit following me!"

Just because I would want to do something immature like that.
