It's Been Awhile

I've not written in awhile because there really is nothing new or exciting to report. I thought that maybe today we would here about my fiance's job interview, but no luck. Maybe tomorrow. I hope that he gets it because I am beyond ready to get out of here. I hate my job and the city we live in is growing increasingly more dangerous because of the freaking gangs.

I spent some of my afternoon after work fortifying my computer against the conflicker virus, after first making sure that I didn't have it on my computer. Didn't have it, but did have a lot of adware and trojans. Mostly adware though. So that's all removed and cleaned up, so I feel better about that at least.

I may try to do some writing tonight, but I don't know if I will be able to. My mind is lacking focus lately.

Ah well, until next time my friends.

Anxiety

Just a quick post. For some reason, tonight I have been suffering from an anxiety attack. I have no idea what is causing it, but it sucks! I had to get up and do some things around the house and that eased it a bit, but I'm still feeling a bit weird.

My parents are here visiting. Well not in my home, but close to the town where I live. I've been visiting with them this weekend and we plan on going to dinner tomorrow after work. They decided to take a vacation because my sister went to Spain on Thursday and will be gone til next Saturday, or something like that. I also got to visit with my cousin, who lives in the same town as me, but I never see her! I forget how much fun it is to hang out with her. I need to remember to hit her up more often to hang out.

Anyway, I'm signing off. Will write again soon. Night night!

Freecycle

Freecycle is such an awesome webite. It's one of the yahoo groups you can join. Freecycle has different chapters for different cities or counties. What you do is you can post things that you want to get rid of or you can put a request out for something you would like. People then reply by sending you e-mails. But it all has to be free. No one can charge you for anything (and you can't either). It is so awesome. The point of this is to keep people from just throwing still usuable stuff in the garbage. I've had many things I've given away already and let me tell you it has freed up so much space in my apartment!! lol

But one of the reasons I'm blabering about this site is because just last night I posted an offer for a box of Star Wars books, about 25 in all. I got soooooo many e-mail about them!!!! The only thing I hate is trying to decide who to give the things too. In most cases I'll just give it to the first person who e-mailed me. But I think I received between 10-15 e-mails asking if they were still available. When something is taken, you just post again saying TAKEN: (Item goes here). I posted my TAKEN thing, but I'm still getting e-mails about it. It has amazed me how many e-mails I got over a box of Star Wars books! But I'm glad they have a new home.

Anyway, enough about that. I know it's probably boring, but I just couldn't believe it. Lol. And had posted canned corn on there too (I had a bunch from costco that never got openned and would have never been used at my house) and I had probably 6-8 people e-mail about it. About frickin CORN! lol

Ok ok really. I'm just going to link their website so you can check it out.

Alright, signing off for tonight. Sorry I don't have anything a little more interesting than that. Lol. Maybe next time (but probably not). ;)

Ummm...

It was my battery. I took it out and the computer started right up. I will now be in the process of burning everything I possibly can onto CDs. Lol. Ok, well, thought I'd post an update. Later!! =)

Death of a Laptop

So yeah...my laptop just died on me about 5 minutes ago. My fiance seems to think it might be the battery. Not sure yet. I'll have to remove the battery and try to run it on AC power only. If it doesn't work, I think that means it isn't the battery. Lol.

I have the worst luck with laptops. I'm suprised that this one has lasted as long as it did. I usually have the for about a year and then something will happen to it. I've had this one for 2 or 3 years now. So I'm hoping it's just the battery. Luckily (and I do mean luckily), most of the stuff on that computer is either saved in e-mail or still on a memory card. Lol. Some of it is burned on CD's but not much. If I had the room, I would go get myself a desktop. Laptops are convenient sometimes, but I think it's time that I go back to desktop. Especially if I'm going to be doing photo editing. It's not that fun doing it on a laptop.

Now I've got to try to figure out this problem. Joy for me. I shall write again.

It's only Thursday...

I can't believe it's only Thursday! This week has gone incredibly slow for some reason. Thank God tomorrow is Friday!

So I had an interview with Wells Fargo, the company I used to work with. Hate the company that I'm working for now, and plus I'm trying to move out of state. I think I did well. I know one of the things I'm good at is job interviews. There have only been 3 jobs I've interviewed for that I haven't gotten. One job was when I was young and I didn't really want the job, so I didn't even try. Lol. Another one I didn't try very hard either. The third..well..lol. I had just had surgery a few days before the interview and I didn't cancel or reschedule it. I just went. I wasn't at my best that day, let me tell you. Lol! I think I have to go through one more interview and then the wait begins. I hate the waiting part. They said it would probably be about a week before I would hear back. I hope it doesn't take them too long. If I get the job, I have to be up there before April 6th. I've got to give my 2 weeks and pack AND move to another state.

Speaking of packing...I had better try finding some moving boxes. There's a neat group called Freecycle where you can get give or get free stuff. There are local chapters for most areas. You can find the group on yahoo. It's a really cool idea. But my point is that I'm going to use that to ask for moving boxes. Joy. I love moving (not!).

I just noticed that my laptop keeps changing itself back to the "fall back" daylight savings time. Lol. I think I've changed it twice already. Stupid computer.

I think there was something else I was going to write about....buuuuut I forgot. hehe.

I shall write later if I remember, if not, until tomorrow (well maybe).

A job..

So I have a "job" for my photography portfolio soon. My daughter's babysitter wants me to take pictures of her youngest son. I talked to her a little but about it this afternoon. She's going to get back to me about the when/where part of it. I'm doing it free, because of course, I would like to build up my portfolio more before I go charging outrageous prices. ;)

Anywho! Just wanted to make a quick post. I don't have much time for writing lately because my daughter likes to come to sit in my lap when I have something to do...of course. I must sign off before she decides to come sit here and I won't even be able to finish my post!

I shall write later.

Maddness

Hello everyone. My first blog post! How exciting! =)

Today has been a lazy day, although maddening. My little daughter, who is almost 19 months old (!) already, has been driving me nuts while I try to accomplish something with my photography today. I only have managed to set up my website at printroom (http://JKammphotography.printroom.com), and set up my blogspot site (and I'm still not done with that).

I'm pretty notorious for not keeping a regular blog, but dang it I'm going to try. I'm going to be trying to jump start my photography business soon. It's a tough field to jump into, but I love photography, so I'm willing to try. I've got business cards and everything! (Although now some of the info on them has changed, so that kind of sucks).

Well, check out my website. I do portrait and wedding photography, so if you're interested (or know someone who might be), please send me an e-mail at J.Kammphotography@gmail.com. We can work something out! =)
