What to do?
So far, the website is doing good. I have a couple requests that are soon-to-be-made, but they are still trying to figure out what they want. But as far as site traffic goes, it is doing very well! I’m excited to see requests start coming in – I honestly think I will scream when I get the first order and payment in lol.
Today was the first day I kinda didn’t babysit! My nephew did come over today, but I really didn’t have to watch him except for a few minutes. I got to go snuggle all morning with my love 
It was a much missed simple thing that I truely love. It’s part of my weekly routine – Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays are wake Kyle up and sleep and extra few hours at his house days. I’m so thrown off when I don’t do that lol. It was nice to just hang out with him today. And tomorrow, I don’t have any babysitting at all! Horrayyyy 
I’m already nearly finished with the first book I’m reading. (The Five People You Meet In Heaven) It’s quite short, so that isnt surprising. But it’s also really good too. I’ve seen the movie version that was on tv a few years ago, so I was interested in reading the book, knowing books are almost always better than the movie. So far, I’m really enjoying it! Anyone else have good books they could suggest? I really am into a lot of different kinds of books. My boyfriend thinks because I’m obsessed with Twilight and have read books about drug addiction and rape, that those are the kinds of books I like lol. Actually, I just like anything that is written well enough to make me want to know what’s going to happen next. So seriously, suggest away!
I have so many things I need to get done, I don’t know where to begin! Time to organize my thoughts. What to do:
Make ad banners for Reckless Dreams
Fix any issues on the site
Work on a myspace for the website
Finish The Five People You Meet in Heaven
Organize desk/work area
Relax?
Time to work on some of that stuff!
Click for Reckless Dreams Design Co.
Have a happy night

It is official! :)
My website is open for business as of tonight! So far, tons of people have been stopping by the site – I had nearly 50 hits in under an hour But no requests (officially) yet. I do have a few people who I know are planning on making requests, but I JUST opened the site an hour ago and it’s late in the day – I wasnt expecting a pouring in of requests tonight. Mostly, I just promised to open it today and wanted to stick to my word. So it’s open and hopefully I’ll get some requests in soon. I’ll have more Ad banners up for people to post on their profiles and stuff too. That way, even if they can’t purchase a layout, they can get me more business by advertising to their friends. Yikes, I’m nervous and excited! It’s finally open!
And in the non-internet world (I know, I was shocked one of those existed too!), I had a very nice day today! My sister didn’t go to work today, so I got to go over to Ky’s this morning and nap with him before his classes. It was sooo nice. I realized that I hadn’t been out of the house since Friday! Then I came home and played with the nephew for a while before Ky got out of class. We went to the library & I got three books:
The Five People You Meet in Heaven – Mitch Albom
The Scarlet Letter – Nathaniel Hawthorne
Belle de Jour – Anonymous
Major thanks to Carrie (a girl I’m friends with on Xanga and myspace) because if not for her, I wouldn’t have known what to get! I always like to know what I want before going and since you can get on the library website and see if they’re on shelf, I like to know ahead of time. So I was on this website she uses to keep track of books she’s read (I commented her on xanga the other day and asked her to recommend some books) and I was basically finding any that looked interesting and checking to see if they were on shelf. I couldn’t go through them all, so I picked a few and three were there so I stuck with those! I don’t know which to read first, but I’ll figure that out once I get offline!
After we went to the library and stopped at the pet store to pick up crickets for Kyle & TJ’s lizards, we went back to his house before finally deciding to go to Steak & Shake for dinner. Oh my goshhh it was GOOD! I love their shakes. I probably gained like 10lbs from the shake and my chicken strips & fries, but it was pretty worth it. Actually, speaking of weight, I’ve been losing some which is good, considering I’m trying to do just that before summer! Also, I tried out a new make up style today. It had some purpleish tints to it to be a little more lighter and summer-y. But nothing too crazy. I need to get new eyeshadows and some other things. I need a shopping trip to get some face supplies! It’s on my to-do list, amung other things. Ahhh life
The flash kept making this look bad so I finally just gave up lol
The books I got today. I love books
Have a wonderful night!

Extremely tired!
Hey! After the whole fire thing at my sisters house, things have been fairly hectic around my house. As I said, we had my nephew over Sunday night & I watched him most of the day yesterday. I watched him again today, but he slept for a couple hours and Kyle came over for a bit before class too (he’s here again now too). Tomorrow I will watch him again, but they should be back in their house tomorrow night which means I am free on Thursday and Friday! Horrayyyy Not that I don’t love my nephew to death, but I am sooo exhausted! At some point tonight I desperately need to finish up EVERYTHING on the website because I WILL be opening it up tomorrow. I swear to you, I will do it! I dont know exactly what time tomorrow, but tomorrow it shall be done! Which means I still need to make up ads for people to place on their pages and finish other things. ahhh! All I can think about right now is how hungry I am for pizza lol. I know I have tons of readers on this blog because it tells me how many I have, but you guys definitely should comment. I don’t care if I’ve never talked to you before in my life and you just randomly came on here through tags on WordPress or something, links on my myspace or Twitter, whatever it may be. Just leave comments. I love talking to people. If you do comment and don’t link back to a blog/profile of yours, I will post my reply on here, so check back
Off to find out about dinner and to enjoy being with my boyfriend
Have a nice night

Crazy turn of events
Yesterday, the day was a typical boring Sunday. Spent the day on the computer, had a yummy breakfast of hashbrowns, bacon and and english muffin, made diet & exercise plans for the week. You know, normal stuff. Until I got a phone call from my mom saying she and my dad had to leave in a hurry and were currently at my sisters because she called them to tell them her house was on fire. Their dryer had caught on fire in the basement, they called 911 and my sister, her fiance and my nephew all got out safely and called my mom to pick up the baby. My parents were up there for a while with my nephew in their car, then they brought him home and we kept him overnight. Which means I had to babysit this morning. I am so tired! I’m sleeping in tomorrow for sure.
The big day for my website happens on Wednesday so today and tomorrow are going to be dedicated to finalizing anything and everything that isnt in place! And Wednesday, I hope lots of people will check out my site and, of course, make some purchases!
Now time to find a light snack. I wish we had some yogurt around here!
Peace and love

Working, working, working!
Seeing as I hope to open my website for business sometime next week, I’m working to make sure everything is in order to do so. I’ve got the layout to where I’m pretty satisfied, I’ve got ads on the page so I will hopefully make some money from those, I’ve got my paypal account set up – I have a bit of an issue with that, but it seems I can’t post a button to my account because of webs.com and NOT because of a paypal issue. Which is not so fantastic, but I’ve just posted a link to the site instead. A temporary solution to that problem. Now I need to get organized. I’m making lists, checking them twice. Okay, I’m not Santa Claus, but still – I’m trying for organization. This is a business, after all. I need to set up the website so it flows well and I really need to make my room a bit more work-friendly, since I’ll need to be able to keep things straight. Atleast around my desk, even if I do rarely use it I’m really quite nervous to open, but I’m also pretty darn excited. It could be a great thing – it could fail miserably. Either way, I’ve given it my all and that is the best I can do.
Wish me luck!
I’m off to make another attempt at getting clean and organized and professional.
Happy weekend blogland
Jamie
