Contemplating a Move

fluffnera@msn.com (Jenera) — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 00:36:00 +0000

Has any of you made a move over to Wordpress from Blogger? Did you lose readers along the way? Did everyone follow? Was it easy? I'm contemplating moving so I can have greater control of who sees what on my blog but it seems so scary to do. Any suggestions, words of warning, or answers would be great!

Jenera Healy Photography Has A New Home

fluffnera@msn.com (Jenera) — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 17:05:00 +0000

We had decided that by this winter I would have a studio space to operate out of. I checked around, did some walk throughs, asked a bunch of questions. What I determined was that people are insane for asking the amount they do for space rent. It's no wonder there is so many open. Then I decided, I don't need to rent space. We have a three 'bedroom' place. The third room is off what I was using for office space and has a sliding door to the outside world. Meaning, it has its own entrance....

What I Learned From Being Dumped

fluffnera@msn.com (Jenera) — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 03:10:00 +0000

Getting dumped is never fun. Especially when you get blind sided and had no idea it was coming. That's what happened to me back in 2003. I was dating this guy I met through a friend for about 3 months and everything seemed fine. Then a week after Valentine's Day he broke up with me. Without warning. I got every line in the book: "It's not you, it's me" "We can still be friends" "I really care about you but..." It sucked. I hated him for a bit for the way it all went down. But I...

Who Needs A Bodyguard?

fluffnera@msn.com (Jenera) — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 20:34:00 +0000

The last few mornings, the kids and I have taken a walk around our nearest greenbelt. It's about 2 1/2 miles long and follows some fishing ponds/lakes, canals, and the freeway. Most of it is paved walkways but some is up on the road itself. There are a few spots that are a bit secluded and I'd never walk it alone at night. No one has been accosted on this particular greenbelt, but in Boise there has been attacks. Tuesday we took Tango with us on our walk. Mostly for him to get exercise...

What? Wanna Garnish My WIC Checks?

fluffnera@msn.com (Jenera) — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 03:29:00 +0000

In the never ending struggle that is getting out of a debt, a creditor called today wanting to know when we can make a payment. Uhm, never? They were informed that bankruptcy proceedings have started, that their debt will be included, and that once we have a case number we'll let them know. Their answer, "Sure. No problem. Just know that even if you file without your wife, we can still go after her because she is joint on the loan." I don't know what they are smoking but I am not on any...

Tanner's Senior Photos

fluffnera@msn.com (Jenera) — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 00:02:00 +0000

Here is the link to check out the senior photo shoot I did yesterday. I spent about 2 hours with Tanner, his mom, and his dog Tyler. They suggested a park close to their home and I'm putting it on my list of best places. It was beautiful with great nooks and crannies for great shots. It was fun working with his dog too. I had so much fun and they were so easy to work with. Tanner's Senior Photos

Obama's Health Care Reform

fluffnera@msn.com (Jenera) — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 23:18:00 +0000

I have no idea what the truth is with this whole health care reform subject. You have both sides spewing their propaganda and I think the truth is hidden somewhere in there. I've tried to read things, watch the news, do some digging but all I got was a headache. I don't have insurance, we can't afford it. We see a doctor if we need to and pay out of pocket. All of the kids' checkups and immunizations have been paid for us by us. Since Daniel works for a small company, to insure just the...

Luckiest Girl In The World

fluffnera@msn.com (Jenera) — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 04:08:00 +0000

Without naming any names, I have to say that I have the most wonderfullest peeps in the world (yes, I know wonderfullest isn't a word). I have always tried to be a good friend and do anything in my power to help those out that need it. I know things are tough. But my peeps went above and beyond the call of friendship duty. It has been a terrible, no good, rotten, piece of poop kind of day. I spent most of it stressing out and crying while cuddling with the boys wishing Daniel was home. I...

Bonneville Salt Flats

fluffnera@msn.com (Jenera) — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 23:18:00 +0000

We stopped at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, close to the Nevada border, on the way back from Indiana. It was so bright. These pictures hardly do it justice. It was like a sunny and snowy day. I had a hard time taking photos because it made my head hurt. Add to that the fact that the sun was bouncing off my glasses too. I love the contrast of the sky and the salt though. The colors just pop out at you. From what Daniel says, the salt naturally comes out of the ground and then...

Flipping The Bird To Everyone

fluffnera@msn.com (Jenera) — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 15:38:00 +0000

Daniel is in the middle of filing bankruptcy. After trying for the last 3 years to work with creditors on getting some debt paid, we've had enough. Yes, we owe the money. But how can we pay it back when the damn company won't accept $100 instead of $200. All along we've tried to repay but it was never good enough. Then today, it all came crashing. One creditor who is pissed Daniel is filing bankruptcy decided to force through an electronic transaction using our bank information from checks...

2009 Allstate Brickyard 400 Photos

fluffnera@msn.com (Jenera) — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 05:40:00 +0000

I have finally got all the photos I took at the Brickyard done. I had to go through over 400 of them. It has taken me a week but I think it's been worth the wait! 2009 Allstate Brickyard 400 Photos We had great seats though it's hard to take photos of a moving vehicle going almost 150 miles an hour-or however fast they are going. But the whole trip was awesome and the photos are going to be perfect for remembering all the fun we had!

Just Call Me Martha

fluffnera@msn.com (Jenera) — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 22:33:00 +0000

Seeing as how I had quite a bit of vegetables from my harvest yesterday, I decided to be a bit of cooking. I have 6 huge butternut squash to do something with so I baked one up to use for Sam-he loves the stuff. It's alright. It's not my favorite but it's something different. I had about a dozen tomatoes so I figured I'd make some tomato sauce. Oh. My. Goodness. It is AWESOME! I made spaghetti with it and it is so good. The sauce is so much more 'fresh' tasting than canned sauce. And...

10 Year High School Reunion

fluffnera@msn.com (Jenera) — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 07:40:00 +0000

Image via Wikipedia1999 was a rough year for me. My parents divorced. My mom remarried. I graduated high school. I turned 18. I moved out. And I went off the deep end. Like I said, it was rough. This coming weekend is my 10 year high school reunion. "Are you going?" I hear you asking your screen. The simple answer is NO, I am not. I didn't hate high school as a whole. I enjoyed it for the most part. My favorite year was my junior year. I got my license, my first car, my first job,...

"Cutting Loose" by Nadine Dajani

Meet three women who are as different as could be—at least that’s what they think—and the men who’ve turned their lives upside down as their paths collide in sizzling, sexy Miami. . . . Ranya is a modern-day princess—brought up behind the gilded walls of Saudi Arabian high society and winner of the dream husband sweepstakes . . . until said husband turns out to be more interested in Paolo, the interior-decorator-cum-underwear-model, than in his virginal new wife. Smart, independent, but...

I Need Some Band Aid and Some Glue

fluffnera@msn.com (Jenera) — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 04:58:00 +0000

Do you ever feel broken? Not put together? Off, just a bit? I'm pretty happy, whole, sound, and well most days. Not too many bad days as of late. I think right now I'm the happiest with myself that I have been in awhile. But even so, there's this niggling feeling in the back of my mind that something isn't quite right. Like when your printer is calibrated and everything is a bit too far to the left. Or when your car needs an alignment because the steering wheel pulls. Nothing...

Brickyard 400 Ramblings

fluffnera@msn.com (Jenera) — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 20:44:00 +0000

Apparently, at least during the race weekend, it is legal to walk around Indianapolis with open containers of alcohol and be Drunk. In. Public. I do not understand women and their rationale for being half nekked just because the sun is out, it's hot, and alcohol is involved. People that drink for 24 hours straight for three days in a row do not fare well in 90 degree heat with 70% humidity. A massive thunderstorm will in fact sober up even the drunkest of drunk tailgaters. Indiana...
