My Cousins School Fundraiser

To all my blogger friends and family - if you would like to buy a magazine subscription or would like to renew one you already have, please consider buying to benefit my cousins school (or one of the many schools who sell magazines as a fundraiser). They get 40% of the proceeds of the sale to help them improve their school, and the prices are very reasonable for you as well! Just visit QSP.com, click "shop now" and type in the number 1080839. That is the number for my cousins school - Pocahontas Middle School in Henrico, VA. Thanks for considering and for supporting our public schools!

It's the Weekend!

Well, hope everyone is having a great weekend so far. Me, I'm trying to figure out why MS Word won't publish my posts anymore. So, until I figure that out, it will be spotty from here on.

Anyway, I wanted to tell you about a great book that I read. I think that Nora Roberts is a great author and wanted to tell you about her book The Search. It's basicly about a woman who trains search and rescue dogs. Yes, it's a romance novel but the base story line is great (or I think it is). I won't say anymore for fear that I'll give away the ending.

Well I’m not the best blogger

Well, writing wasn’t one of my strong points in school, but in college Photography was. That’s what the last post was about; I understand that photography is a very competitive field to get into and the program in that post is from someone who is basically showing you how to get ahead at a fraction of the cost to go to college and learn from someone who didn’t even apply what they learned in the real world. She did and learned from her mistakes and is willing to show you through weekly assignments to not have to learn from costly mistakes or to go through these supposed “stock photo” websites that will only pay you maybe $.25 per download.

Yea, you saw correctly a quarter per download, not per use. That means if you upload your picture of those wood ducks you took when you were at the lake, you’ll only get 25 cents for someone to download it and be able to use it thousands of times. To me I would rather be paid per use then per download.

Anyway, I checked it out and for the money you’re getting a great deal, especially since she works in the real world not out of a classroom. Don’t get me wrong the world needs teachers, but I think that the college level teachers and up, should either have held a job in their field of study, or currently have one. I mean if you what to have a million dollars at retirement, wouldn’t it be smart to have a financial advisor who has made a million dollars and no degree, then one who only has $25,000 and a masters degree? I would want to learn from the millionaire.

Well, off to prepare for my week at work. Have a fun (I mean that sarcastically) week. Sayalp is getting ridiculous; they said that I can’t even mention I work for them here, so I spelled their name backwards to see what happens.

Here is the link to the photography course; http://hjhoffman.betterp.hop.clickbank.net
Good luck.

Have you ever wanted to take pictures like a Pro?

If you have, then I have found the perfect program. It’s a 3 month course and is a fraction of the cost of going back to school.
Each lesson comes weekly and it will cover how to buy a digital camera, to how to correct mistakes and frame pictures like the professionals do.

First Day of Work

Well, I started working at Playas, NM and it was a cluster… I got to the designated doctor's office to get the drug screening done and the staff that does that won't be in until tomorrow, so after the drive back from Silver City, I start to take their Defensive Driving Test, a test that usually takes five hours and can only get two and a half hours in.

Tomorrow will be part two, and I don't even know where I'm working yet or what I'll be doing. Hopefully, it will be better then today.

Fine Arts and Craft Festival

This Month we have the Annual Fine Arts and Craft Festival, hosted by the Mixed Nuts on the 20^th of November this year from 9am to 3pm. Just about every "crafty" person in town and the surrounding area comes here to sell their wares; everything is Handmade and perfect for Christmas gifts. There is also food sold here too. Proceeds from the Lunch go towards scholarships for the area kids. This year's lunch is Green Chili Stew lunch for $5.00.

If you want the best enchilada sauce see Nettie, Izzy and Alice, they make the best; they may also have some of their delicious Tamales and Burritos for sale there too. There will also be a booth selling Fry Bread, donations from this will go towards the Catholic Church and Mission's in our Parish.

The festival is held in the Community Center in Rodeo, New Mexico. Come and join the fun! For more information just ask.
