Don’t you feel that there isn’t enough hours in one day? That’s how I’m feeling right now. I woke up earlier than usually (9:30am…I usually get up in the afternoon), and I’ve been working on the computer ever since. Time is just flying by!! Then I have to shower and get ready for work soon. It’s just all ticking away too quickly for me to actually set back and enjoy!

I really don’t like days like this. I prefer them to go nice and slow, especially when I’m home. If I’m at work, then heck ya…go as fast as you can time. I just hate being on the phone the whole time taking to customers who can be quite rude. *rolls eyes thinking about certain incidents*

I’m a little stuck with ideas on what to get my mother for Mother’s Day. I’m actually nervous about it because it’s only a few days away!! I still haven’t even talked it over with my sisters either. *sigh*

Maybe I’ll just go for something easy such as flowers. I know that 1800Flowers.com have perfect mother’s day flowers available. They also have gift baskets and other goodies that you can send to your mom as well. Not to mention everything is on sale too!!

Hum…*thinking*…maybe I SHOULD get her a gift basket with lots of goodies of her favourite things! That sounds like a plan to me!

Did any of you watch Oprah today with Barbara Walters on it? You can see a preview of it here.

It was really fascinating to be honest. Just the way she told her stories glued you to the television set. Well, for me anyways. I was just so interested in what she had to say. It was different than most interviews on Oprah. Barbara Walters just seemed so down to earth and she got really emotional about a few things and didn’t want to continue on one topic. She said something, “I’ll just leave it as that”.

Her main reason for being on the show was to promote her new book “Audition: A Memoir“. I think I’m actually going to pick this up from the bookstore or buy it online. Weird isn’t it? I’m actually interested in reading about Barbara Walters’ life…a woman twice my age. Hah!

I get a ton of emails asking how people can get their blogs known. My answer is always to submit your site to a quality directory.

Just look at DirMania.org for instance. Not only is it FREE to submit your website, but your site will be easily found in the proper category of your choosing. Plus, some sites in the directory are even featured on the “Top Links” section and the “Popular Links” section. Even more exposure to your site!!

And, if you’re like me, you may enjoy blog hopping. You can easily find other sites that have the same niche as you in the many categories they have. Or, you can do it the simple way - just SEARCH it!! One more way you can find websites in the directory, just go to the “Random Links” section. Every time you reload the page, random websites in the directory are displayed!! Talk about being cool!!

So what are you waiting for?? Go and submit your website at DirMania.org absolutely FREE!!

Wow…scams just never stop do they? I go and check my email account that I use for many of my websites and see this email:

So, of course I’m curious and go to check it out. Read the website and it seemed too good to be true. I do a little search on it and found many other sites claiming it’s a scam. (search “contact them scam” and see for yourself) You can even read a whole report about it here.

When are people going to stop with all these scams? Seriously…they get old rather quickly and I’m sick of getting junk like this.

Can you believe that Mother’s Day is literally next week?!! Geeze…months do fly by because I have yet to get my mom anything yet. I’ve been thinking about things she needs or wants and have come up with a few things. Maybe a new cookware set (which is what my dad suggested), summer clothes, or even some kind of electronic.

I’m thinking maybe a Casio Digital Camera like this pink one shown in the photo off to the side. Why a digital camera for my mom? Well, just last week I bought myself a new pocket digital camera because I needed one small enough to fit in my purse so I could take pictures on the go. My mom really enjoyed the simplicity of it and wanted one of her own. Hence, why I think a digital camera may be a great gift for her this year.

Right now you can save $83 off the original price by buying it at 42Photo.com. That is awesome!! Plus, they even have accessories for the camera such as memory cards, camera bags, tripods and even cleaning kits.

My mom might need some of those as well which is great because you can get it all from one place for great prices. Check out 42photo.com yourself!!
