ASA Crashed....... AGAIN

To say the least I am getting rather tired of the site crashing once a week.. I get even more tired of people basically getting pissed off at me for it. Yes, I know threads were lost when they had to reboot from a previous backup .. yes it sucks.. but it was only a weeks worth.. and no.. I cannot not do a backup of the site every single day.. Makes me want to shut the whole thing down just so I don't have to deal with it anymore.. sigh.. Ok.. so that was enough of my rant..lol..

I got the site back up and talked to the host about preventing it in the future.. I did what I could and am hoping it was enough.. only time will tell.. I will just make sure I do a backup right before I move.. cause heaven knows when I will have internet access back after I leave CA. ..

30 Days of me- Day 25

Day 25- your day in great detail

Well this was a bad day for this post to fall on..lol.. I haven't done much of anything today, and nothing at all interesting.

So here it goes, I woke up this morning from a horrible nightmare really wishing Kris was next to me. Of course I am sick today so I have a slight fever and sore throat which I am sure helped my nightmare along. Anywho.. I got up and got Alora then took her downstairs and fed her. Went back upstairs to shower while contemplating the color of my hair and what to do about it... I have come to the conclusion that I am going to try and have a salon dye the bottom half of my hair to match my natural color, if they won't then I will just have to live with it. My bangs well, I guess I am going back blond.. that is what Kris told me to do although I am not sure he meant it...lol..

Sooo... after that I didn't do much other than making a couple posts on fb and asa... Had some leftover blueberry pancakes for lunch... then sat around and played games on the computer for a bit while Alora napped.

Nicole called me on skype and we talked for awhile, then Alora woke up and I stripped her bed to wash her sheets.. continued talking to Nicole for awhile and made Alora some lunch... and Tristan..

Now I am again just sitting around feeling feverish... considering playing my just dance game just for the heck of it... Tonight I will post my address up on craigslist for our garage sale tomorrow.. and I still need to make a sign to put up by the road... After all that.. it will be time for the kids to go to bed and ASA after dark....lol.. My ASA girls know what I am talking about..lol...

So that is it.. pretty boring day... any other day this week would have been a bit more interesting..lol

30 days of me- Day 22

Day 22 - a website

There are only a few websites that I frequent.. this one of course.. Facebook..sparkpeople to track my calorie intake, and A Sailors Anchor the Forum based website that I created for Navy Wives and S.O.'s.


I already mentioned ASA in a previous post and how much it means to me. Giving Navy wives a place to connect means a lot to me. Being a Navy Wife myself, I know how hard it is to constantly move to new places and not know anyone there. This site has allowed me to meet so many wonderful women virtually and in person all over the world. I will be meeting some more new ladies when head up to Washington in a couple months and I am really looking forward to that. There are some wonderful women that I have gotten to speak to online that I am very excited to meet in person. I also look forward to our next move and meeting even more of these wonderful women.

I hope that every woman that joins this site will get out and get to know each other. I know I have been shy at times not wanting to put myself out there for fear of not being liked, but don't miss the opportunity to make a new best friend!

Not everyone you meet will be your new best friend, but you will still have great times and meet wonderful people. You will even find that person that will stick with you as a friend no matter how far apart the navy sends you. Trust me on that one. Don't get discouraged if you don't find that friend right away, keep enjoying the company of the wonderful women you meet and you will find that special friend.

ASA has given me a new interest in meeting people and I even host many get togethers myself. I love having access to so many wonderful people. If you are a navy wife or significant other.. please join us.. you will be glad you did. :)

30 days of me- Day 20

Day 20 - a hobby of yours

Well, I am getting there .. only 10 more days to go before I start the 30 days of pictures!

So today is about a hobby of mine.. The most prominent in my life is obviously photography. I love photography.. taking beautiful pictures of people is a passion of mine. It has been for a very very long time.. I started doing it professionally in 2004 .. but have been holding a camera and taking pictures of everything for much much longer. I even carried a camera around school in middle school and high school.. :)

With the horrible memory that I have all of these pictures help me to remember different times in my life that I certainly do not want to forget. What better to jog the memory than a visual aid! So onto it..
These pictures are from photo shoots that I did with the kids while we were in Florida.. I love them!(the pictures and the kids..lol)





My other hobby.. well I think that would be helping Navy Wives. I created a site called www.ASailorsAnchor.com I did this so that Navy Wives & SO's would have a place to go to meet one another, create relationships, and talk with other people who understand what they are going through. Being a sailors wife is a hard life.. so we gotta stick together! I think supporting them and creating this site is one of the best things I have ever done, besides my children and marrying my husband of course. :)

If you are a Navy Wife or Significant Other, come and check us out at A Sailors Anchor We look forward to seeing you on the boards!

This is one of the graphics I made for ASA's twitter page..:)
