			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I purchased my new IPOD because I ran out of room on my other IPOD. So I bought a product that allows get music off of your ipod called TunePlus3.0.</p>
<p>So I bought this piece of crap installed it, had the WORST difficulty installing it. I had to search for a missing DLL component that really should have came with the program since it is a required part to the program. After I finally get that working it doesn&#8217;t recognize EITHER of my IPODs.</p>
<p>So from there I went on a search contacted their support that takes apparently 48 hours to return your messages only to finally find out in their support forums that apparently this is a known issue and they don&#8217;t have a patch as of yet.</p>
<p>SO YOU BUY THIS PRODUCT AND THEN IT DOES NOT DO WHAT IT IS SUPPOSE TO. WHY SELL IT UNTIL IT EFFING WORKS I MEAN REALLY MAKE THE PATCH FOR IT ALREADY.</p>
<p>I have resealed the box uninstalled this piece of crap and am returning it for a full refund. I refuse to pay for a product that doesn&#8217;t even offer anything. I mean one thing not to transfer one two three but at least recognize my ipod for me to remove the music on there period.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been doing so much since I got this website back up and running. Jenny is building me a new layout to go with what my goal is for this website so I cannot wait. I&#8217;ll also be doing more stuff with it soon I just have so much on my plate for Pajama Mommy it isn&#8217;t even funny.</p>
<p>Stefanie is redoing the index page, and once that is done I&#8217;ll be redoing the entire categories along with merging the entire site back onto the index page and getting rid of the sub domains. So that is a lot of stuff I just have been like wowzers with it all.</p>
<p>Nick and I are no longer together. I called things off. He was an absolute great guy but he wasn&#8217;t the guy for me. I know he&#8217;ll find someone who will make him happy I just knew in the end I couldn&#8217;t.  I have just too much much going on for me to focus on being in a relationship on top of it all plus just the funk I&#8217;ve been in doesn&#8217;t help anything.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve started doing a lot of stuff for myself lately. I&#8217;ve been cleaning out my closet and working slowly on the the things I&#8217;ve needed to handle it is just so much for one person but I have taken a nice deep breath let it out and know it will all work out in the end the way it is suppose to.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been a busy busy girl. I&#8217;ve been working my butt off at my new job. It is a good job, a little boring most of the day but still not a bad job and one that I&#8217;m very grateful to have. Along with having a spot of a cold, and then having to do all Pajama Mommy work its been like wow.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve managed to make sure I do all my Pajama Mommy work this weekend. I really should have done it during the week it is just so hard getting used to a new schedule once I am I&#8217;ll be back in shape in no time for all the work. Plus I want to introduce a new exercise schedule into the mix so hopefully I can figure out something I have a few pieces of machinery at home I might as well make full advantage of it all. Plus as a boring note yes I&#8217;ve been catching up on all of my reading. Ugh there were so many books that are so fantabulous and some that are just pish posh not at all worth reading. I really wish good reads allowed you to give half stars. I&#8217;m struggling through this book I am deep in the series I just feel the author went really poor on this one. Just too much crap and not enough goods in it. I might be getting away from this genre and poking into a new one anyways it could be that but with me you never know? As of right now I am struggling to make it through the book. I started it this morning and would have had it finished by now but ugh I am only 2/3&#8242;s of the way through it. I won&#8217;t even be finishing it to night. I am so ashamed of myself. I am trying to get through most of these books that have been on my list for me to read for ages so I can finally freshen up my currently reading list. I&#8217;ve managed to get it from 65 to like 25 but still I would like it to be at zero and start fresh!</p>
<p>I also will be cleaning out my closet and book collection this weekend besides all my Pajama Mommy work. So this will be a long boring weekend.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I start a new job Tuesday. I quit my old job for other reasons that I won&#8217;t say because it is just very rude to talk ill about people so I&#8217;ll leave that be. I&#8217;ve been out of a job since July 13th and been living on fumes basically financially and am finally now a regular person with a regular job. This job is something new I get to wear scrubs. I&#8217;ll be a receptionist at a very busy dermatologists office. They do everything there from regular stuff, to botox, laser hair removal, surgery etc. So it is going to be fun. I went with Donna yesterday to buy scrubs from Wal-Mart. I bought 3 tops and three bottoms.</p>
<p>On a side note I&#8217;ve joined <a title="Just Jennifer" href="http://justjennifer.me" target="_blank"><img title="Fabu Friday" src="http://justjennifer.me/boogie/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/fabufriday.jpg" alt="Fabu Friday" width="125" height="125" /></a>.  I am excited to be a member of it! It&#8217;s great because it gets reset every friday.  I think it is perfect. Great meme idea Jenny.</p>
<p>I should come up with a meme. I WANT MY OWN MEME JENNY!!!</p>
<p><strong>This Weekends To Do List</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Get my hair cut! &#8211; I saved $23 by scheduling a wet cut (coming in with my hair wet and<strong><em> not</em></strong> having them blow dry and style it)</li>
<li>Get my nails done &#8211; I enjoy having my nails done. I switched to pink and whites and saved a lot. I have them fill in the whites thicker and only get pink fills for like 4 fills. Saving me an extra $52 a year or more depending on where I go!</li>
<li>Eyebrow Waxing &#8211; I know I know I could save if I pluck. However its my splurge once every 6 weeks to spend $7 on my eyebrows getting waxed.</li>
<li>Clean out my car &#8211; I pay for my nieces cellphone bill at $50 a month so she will be doing a very, very in depth car cleaning that I&#8217;ve been meaning to do on the inside of my car. A full detailing once or twice a month <img src='http://amandajharris.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  to work off her cellphone bill I&#8217;ve paid a few times and will be paying for apparently until she is allowed to get a job.</li>
</ol>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs126.ash2/39658_424096597681_704917681_4691816_187447_n.jpg" alt="" width="241" height="180" />So I spent Saturday in New York City just a short jaunt from my own home, at the BlogHER conference representing Pajama Mommy Community. I enjoyed meeting a few bloggers there, along with meeting all sorts of great PR people and meeting those I&#8217;ve worked with in the past. I met up with Sheena who is too cute in person for words. I was thrilled with all the fun I had and the stuff I got. Granted by the time 4pm rolled around I just wanted to go home. I was tired and cranky, drained, my brain was slowly becoming mush. It just was so much better for me to just go home and call it a night.</p>
<p>I knew it wasn&#8217;t going to be that great of a day when my train showed up late. I got into the city about 45 minutes late, and about another half hour until I walked the 20 city blocks from 33rd to 53rd. Aka from Penn Station to the Hilton Hotel. Oh it was a fun walk too. <img class="alignright" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs209.snc4/38806_424102097681_704917681_4691862_3812457_n.jpg" alt="" width="285" height="213" />I called the Hilton and I had to say they weren&#8217;t the most helpful people on the phone they made assumptions and gave me horrendous directions that I had to call back two more times and finally get rude with the lady just for her to listen. I called up the fist woman and I said I&#8217;m walking on 6th and I&#8217;m trying to figure out where you are she doesn&#8217;t know where on sixth I am and tells me to go straight. I end up on 5th avenue that way. So I call again and I am like I am trying to find you and another woman tells me just go straight until the numbers get bigger. I&#8217;m like straight is vague and I need something more than that. She is like you can only go one way on Sixth Ave, all snotty to me. I was like listen lady, I can go any where I want to since I AM WALKING I just <img class="alignleft" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs211.snc4/38877_424226987681_704917681_4695391_7710660_n.jpg" alt="" width="227" height="169" />need to know which way to go on Sixth Ave. To which she is like well follow the traffic. I am like if it was that simple you should have said that in the beginning instead of making assumptions and not trying to help me a consumer at your business.</p>
<p>So I hung up on her. I don&#8217;t like rude people.</p>
<p>The staff at blogHER were so nice and friendly, the PR people were great. <img class="alignright" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs115.ash2/39103_424101937681_704917681_4691860_5462957_n.jpg" alt="" width="191" height="143" />The few bloggers I spoke to were so nice. The rest well as a group I was hoping people were over all nicer. But I found that several other people I spoke to seemed to get snubbed by a lot of bloggers there for no reason. This is a meet and greet and a lot of times when you say hello to someone people just snubbed you. I was very appalled at that behavior. No one wanted to actually meet and connect with other bloggers. This whole thing is not just about meeting PR its about social networking. One of the best things you can do is talk to other  bloggers. There are times where I have PR contacts others want and vice versa and we share because I find that when you are greedy it just is rude and tends to turn people away. There is nothing wrong with sharing, there is enough out there for everyone.</p>
<p>Please don&#8217;t think I am ungrateful or anything. I spoke to several bloggers there who felt the same way every time they went to socialize and network they were getting snubbed. I personally think this is a chance not only to meet other bloggers but other readers. I&#8217;m very quiet so when I ate breakfast I just sat there quietly and spoke very little. Not that I am unapproachable I just was soaking it all in. I socialized but it seemed I chose a table where more people knew each other and not that they made me feel out of place since they were very friendly I was just tired from my walk. I just think even during the meet and greet sessions people were using blogher for just PR contacts and I wanted to meet other bloggers and I found so many people felt that way so I hope when I attend next year it&#8217;ll be even better. The event was great, I just hoped to find more people to talk to next time around <img src='http://amandajharris.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Over all it was a great experience I believe I will be attending next years even if it isn&#8217;t local. I should have been going to this far earlier. I am such a slacker.</p>

By work I mean grunt work no one else wants to do and really I mean grunt crappy work. It takes a lot of grunt work to run a blog the size of Pajama Mommy. So where everyone thinks of Amanda doesn&#8217;t do much because I never have that many articles. I know I don&#8217;t I&#8217;m too busy spending 6 hours cleaning out spam from just ONE small section of the site and not even getting ALL of it. So yes I spent all day yesterday doing that.</p>
<p>Today I have a job interview, tomorrow I will be at blogHER and the same thing with Sunday. Monday I also have a job interview. I also need to get all the work done for my freelance for AOL so I can have some money on Tuesday. I didn&#8217;t do crap this week. I&#8217;ve been PMS&#8217;n and depressed. I haven&#8217;t been really depressed for any particular reason just an over all well rounded depressed state. I&#8217;ve been snappy, and bitchy and shit that wouldn&#8217;t normally bother me I just abhor as of right now. I mean little things that you just usually brush off I want to stab someone for. I&#8217;ve been had this strong of a PMS issue so I wonder if I&#8217;m going crazy. <img src='http://amandajharris.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>So yesterday while I was working on Pajama Mommy I was talking to my friend Jenny and then I went out side to have a cigarette (oh yes I&#8217;m one of those evil vile people who smoke.) and while I was outside I had this grand epiphany that I have decided to become the next Oprah. To which Jenny asked me how I plan to do that. I told her that I had an epiphany not a freaking plan. Gosh. So yes some how I will become the next Oprah. I don&#8217;t need a TV talk show I can easily utilize the websites that I have. It wont be on Pajama Mommy no&#8230; I think it&#8217;ll be something else hmm. I might work it into this site some how. What do you think?</p>

So when McQuade tells the Court of  Scotland that Cullen has stolen his daughter&#8217;s virtue, Cullen steals the  daughter instead. Since his brother wed a fetching lass, Cullen&#8217;s been  thinking he too needs a wife. A marriage could end the constant war  between the clans. And looking on Bronwyn McQuade but once has put her  in his dreams for a week&#8230;But Bronwyn won&#8217;t go quietly. She won&#8217;t be  punished for what she did not do. Nor is she eager to live among the  resentful veterans of McQuade wars. And however brave and beautiful a  man Cullen may be, he has much to learn about a woman&#8217;s fighting spirit.  But as Bronwyn will discover, he has much to teach her as well&#8230;</em></p>
<p>This was a freebie because I had an Amazon Kindle. However, you can get it for free by downloading the Kindle program for your computer. I enjoyed the read. It was a decent length book and for me it only took a day to read. It had beautifully written Scottish accented words in their conversation. The characters had depth and offered a great arc for the story, it had a middle beginning and an end so you were fully satisfied instead of thinking um&#8230;what the heck is going on here?</p>
<p>I was left wanting for more because there are other characters I&#8217;d love to read about. Bronwyn (whose name I adore by the way) and Cullen were perfect. I wish she put up a little more of a fight then just allowing him to seduce her but I understood why he did it based on the way the books plot was and why he needed to do what he had to. However, because she was such a stubborn character I just felt she&#8217;d put up more of a fight and make him work a little harder.</p>
<p>Over all it was a great read and I enjoyed it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You&#8217;d think I&#8217;d be going crazy over something more then a camera but I finally decided on which camera and all the accessories I demand on getting. I also have been going through and cleaned up a lot of things I&#8217;ve been meaning to clean up. Such as my Amazon wish list. I managed to really sit down and take some time this morning and clean up and make sure I pre-ordered all the books I NEED and by NEED I mean I may possibly die if I don&#8217;t read them. Okay so here <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-D3000-Digital-18-55mm-3-5-5-6G/dp/B002JCSV5I/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&amp;coliid=I14XEKL9KT9P58&amp;colid=XP0SZTKY6YX9"><img class="alignleft" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/517%2BbpHK4HL._SL500_AA300_.jpg" alt="" width="269" height="269" /></a>are my updates don&#8217;t bother trying to stop me its happening.</p>
<ul>
<li>10.2-megapixel DX-format imaging sensor for prints up to 20 x 30 inches</li>
<li>Includes 3x 18-55mm Zoom-Nikkor VR Image Stabilization lens</li>
<li>Nikon EXPEED image processing; in-camera image editing and Active D-Lighting</li>
<li>3.0-inch color LCD screen; 170-degree wide-angle viewing</li>
</ul>
<p>Okay so far that is all I really need and the extra lenses will do whatever else I need. They don&#8217;t make a million accessories for this which is good because I do have a tendency to DEATHLY NEED those accessories without even knowing exactly what they do I just want them since they are available.</p>
<p>Okay so I managed to pre-order almost all the books on my wish list for my KINDLE. I don&#8217;t have that new fancy one that is 1/2 the price of the one I have. I am not at all resentful about that&#8230;nope that is a lie. I am quite annoyed and it does burn my buns that my parents paid twice as much and just a little more then a year later it is not only half the price but there is one that is cheaper then that and runs on just wi-fi. I mean REALLY awesomeness. I will need a new one eventually since mine has a nice gouge in the screen. That happened like 10 minutes after I opened it <img src='http://amandajharris.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_neutral.gif' alt=':|' class='wp-smiley' />  stupid dog.</p>
<p>I can honestly say I love amazon&#8217;s website. I need this Indian spice and paste called Garam Marasala, and Japanese Red Aduki Bean Paste. However that one you get a giant thing of so I saved it for later and hopefully I can find some<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Casio-Womens-LCF30-4B-Tough-Ana-Digi/dp/B002J4UBJU/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&amp;coliid=I1ONWOJE4FP31D&amp;colid=XP0SZTKY6YX9"><img class="alignright" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51tAkrEthXL._SL500_SL135_.jpg" alt="" width="94" height="135" /></a> smaller. I have had several recipes I really cannot wait to try but I will need those three ingredients before I even have a thought about making them.</p>
<p>I also managed to find a nice looking watch, a crock pot I insist on having, as well as a water bottle I thought was kind of cool. A photo printer. Granted my printer SUPPOSEDLY does that. However, it is a P.O.S even though I spent like a bajillion dollars on it. I need to get a new one. It&#8217;ll be perfect for Donna and the kids so they need a new one any ways. I just need to get something simple and cheap but can do more then it does now. I am thinking about those printers, scanners photos but do better photos then what I have now. I just attempt to print a bunch of things and I&#8217;m missing like half the words. I don&#8217;t know why it hates me but it does.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/52021195/vinyl-wall-art-full-classic-tree-with"><img class="alignright" src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_430xN.161394746.jpg" alt="" width="202" height="202" /></a>I am always thinking of new ways to do up my bedroom. Since its a giant room in the basement (of course my parents house since I&#8217;m super cool.) I am constantly thinking up ways to make it more funky and fun. I&#8217;m just starting to get into vinyl wall art and starting to appreciate it more and I&#8217;ve been thinking of adding some wall-art to my bedroom. I have pictures and when my room is erm..more presentable then it is at the moment I write this. Okay yes I am lazy and I didn&#8217;t feel like cleaning today. Stop eyeballing me.  I will take pictures of it so you can see what I am working with. But I have a lot to do and all the time in the world to do it in. I need a change and I need nice stuff and places to hang up my beautiful elephant decor. I have an obsession with elephants and been picking up pieces here and there of little elephants. I have book ends, 2 free standing elephants, and an elephant teapot. But I have been thinking about the vinyl piece to the right I love trees and birds too and I think something like that would look cute but I feel the birds may be too cutesy for the look I am going for. Ugh I need to do some more window shopping.</p>
<p>My list of things I need.</p>
<p>1. Duvet Cover &#8211; I got this awesome super comfy down feathered comforter from IKEA for only $49.99. &#8211; hot tip &#8211; its the underbelly feathers from the goose so the feather quality inside the comforter is superb by-the-by. So I am not being stabbed in throughout the night from cheaper feathers like I get with my down pillows.<br />
2. Six new pillows &#8211; I need new really good down pillows I&#8217;m tired of getting stabbed I&#8217;ve had this down pillows for five years and it is time for a new set.<br />
3. Four new pillow cases &#8211; I just got my new 1500TC sheets so I&#8217;m not giving those suckers up but I will need new shams to a set to match the duvet cover and a nice set just to jazz it up.<br />
4. One Bookcase &#8211; I&#8217;ve already got a bookcase but I will need another one for the books just lying around making my room look messier then it is. I have a sick obsession with books and need to organize them.<br />
5. A new fan &#8211; We have central air in the house but alas it is not as cool as I like it even in the basement so I&#8217;d like a nicer fan then the plasto-crapo one I have at the moment. Nick bought this really nice brush nickel one. I have fan envy. I wonder if he&#8217;ll notice if I switch them&#8230;hmm.<br />
6. A few shelves &#8211; I would really like some shelving in my room.</p>
<p>I also have a to-do list.</p>
<p>1. Dust the room<br />
2. Clean the desk<br />
3. Organize the closet<br />
4. Clean the room<br />
5. Vacuum the room</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-DMC-G1-Interchangeable-Digital-Black/dp/B001FSKDWG/ref=wl_itt_dp_o?ie=UTF8&amp;coliid=I2D52VJCKD2T4C&amp;colid=XP0SZTKY6YX9"><img class="alignleft" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51nfCsET%2B1L._SL500_AA300_.jpg" alt="" width="231" height="231" /></a>As you will begin to know me or those who do already I am constantly on the look out for the hot items I must have. So I&#8217;ve been really sitting down figuring out exactly what I need besides a new computer and all my other crap.</p>
<p>The first thing is I need a new camera. I&#8217;ve been checking out the various camera&#8217;s and I have two on my wish list. I cannot find my other one (aka I&#8217;m thinking someone five-finger discounted it) so alas I&#8217;ve just been using the camera on my phone (8MP camera on my fabu phone) but I need a new one. The image to the left is the Panasonic Lumix it is a 12.1MP digital camera. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Canon-XS-Digital-18-55mm-Black/dp/B001CBKJGG/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&amp;coliid=I1IMEHD0L7WVY&amp;colid=XP0SZTKY6YX9"><img class="alignright" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/412bsbUXyBL._SL500_AA300_.jpg" alt="" width="231" height="231" /></a> It has awesomeness and comes with a decent lens so you really can&#8217;t go wrong with the price.</p>
<p>The other one I was looking at is this bad boy to the right its only 10.1MP however they are both the same price of only $499 through amazon.com I need a lot of things and this would be a luxury, as I&#8217;m trying to pay off all my debt I was left with when I broke off the engagement to my ex-fiance. However, sometimes one must pamper oneself with all the *coughs*hard*coughs* work we do. By hard work I mean very little hard work but I will complain through the entire experience until I find a normal non freelance job.</p>
<p>I am getting back into the world of cameras and if you own one of these bad boys or have a recommendation I&#8217;d love to hear it. I just never know. I was looking at one in best buy that was 18MP that was $899 but really I don&#8217;t need all that when these bad boys can do practically the same thing at four bennies less.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have started and restarted this website has to be a dozen or more times. I am currently trying to do my best with it. I am getting back into everything and doing more and more because my current job allows me to do such. I only need to work 2-3 days a week so I have more time to do everything and I am happy for this. I have time for friends, family, and more home business work then I could have ever dreamed possible.<br />
It is great because I am finally happy. I&#8217;ve gotten everything right it seems and I am working on redoing everything in my life. I have slowly turned everything around, or upside down,  heck some things I took a wrecking ball to.<br />
I am focusing back on my websites, my photography, reading and my writing. I have spent the past 5 years doing what everyone else wanted me to do, or not doing what I wanted to because someone else came first. I am not becoming selfish in a sense but I am definitely learning to prioritize myself much higher on the list. I need to take care of myself before I can make sure anyone else is taken care of. I am hopefully going to be able to turn this into everything I ever wanted this site to be and more. So please bare with me as we go through some changes around here!</p>
