What a Mess  

I'm sitting here looking at all my stuff wondering where I plan on putting it all. What I really need is a huge garage storage area to organize it all. I could put the kids things in one place, wore out ropes up high on some sort of hangers, and even put food in some cabinets that don't fit in my house. My pantry is so small so that would be a big help. How do you organize your stuff? Do you have a garage for it all? And how organized is it?

Thursday Thirteen ~ 13 Things I'm Sick of Seeing in the Blogosphere  

13 things I'm sick of seeing on the blogosphere:

  1. People blogging about "Aunt Flo"....*YUCK* I don't enjoy mine and I don't want to hear about yours.
  2. Blogrush........we know already.
  3. Suckass comments on the Pro-Bloggers blogs.
  4. Oscar De LaHoya in girly clothes.
  5. Top WordPress Lists....P.S. (I'll be posting mine on my other blog soon;)
  6. Google PR Update....Give it a rest already.
  7. John Chow spending $60 bucks on a burger.
  8. The same big bloggers promoting other big bloggers. Give us little folk a plug.
  9. The same ol' lame smilies. I want to see some cool ones.
  10. Agloco.....it's dead.
  11. Britney Spears dancing and parental skills.
  12. Boring themes/templates
  13. Bloggers who they think they know it all and assume the opinion of one post applies to everyone.

Stop the Abuse of Horses  

Many people dream of owning a horse but due to the lack of knowledge and experience they have, horses will suffer. Horse abuse comes in different forms, but one of the most common form I see is starvation.

Horses malnourishment is due to several reasons. Many times the owners fail to properly feed the horses during the winter or during drought. The horses lose weight every winter and then regain the weight in the summer. This is a very common scenario brought on by owners who DO know better, but who choose not to properly feed for one reason - MONEY.

Another common reason is pure laziness. Owners or caretakers, "forgot to feed last night" or " I was busy and was only able to feed them once yesterday". Repeated enough times and the result is a starved horse. Because of people's ignorance, horses suffer for a long time with death waiting around the corner.

If you see a malnourished horse, contact your local authorities or animal control.
This post was written in support of the Bloggers uniting and trying to "Stop the Abuse".

Random Talk  

If you haven't entered my contest over at Blogging with Cents, you should do it soon. The contest ends in 4 days and has had 22 entries. Just fill in the blank and you could win $50.

This week has been crazy. I've got football to attend tomorrow and then packing to do for the weekend. We have a Ranch Rodeo to go to in my home town. I really don't want to go--I am so sick of driving:(

My traffic has increased with the Blogrush buzz. After reading around and my own personal experiences, it seems to do better on blogs not pertaining to money making. I have had some new mommy blogger traffic from the widget. I think I'll keep it here but plan on giving it the boot at my other site.

If you are considering moving to WordPress, DO IT! I absolutely love it and wish I would have started this one out over there. The plugins are awesome and the overall quality of the blog is a substantial difference. I am cheap and I love free but this was worth the money! I picked Bluehost as my web host and they have been fantastic so far. Make the move, you'll be glad you did.

Finally, if you notice ads, you have seen the big one between my most recent post and the one after that. The company is called Sprout and it is geared for little ones. It's a very neat site that can get your little guys and gals involved in different activities. It has drawing, stories, and more that the kids can do. Check it out.
