Holy cow it is almost December! No blog today, thought that I had a cake day today, and it turns out, not so much. To top things off, tonight is the knitting group, and all but 2 people have said that they will not be there, and I think that the other 2 won't show. Oh well, at least I can get out of here early then!

 

I got hit by a wave of tired and I have 4 interviews to set up with difficult docs and midlevels. That is the part of my job I dislike... Grrrr! I enjoy setting it all up, I dislike how other knock it all down, and usually at the last minute... Again, I say Grrrr!

 

This weekend I am going to write the letters to my family about wanting to be the "record keeper". I am going to do it on my awesome pages app! One of the most expensive, but best apps ever!

 

Anyhow,I think that I could use some water!

 

That is all for now!

My reclassification is official today. That is a PC way of saying promotion, why not just say promotion, oh well, who cares! I got it.

I have no new info to post today, although I do have new stuff... I spent all night last night entering new stuff from the "hints" that I got on Ancestry.com. I only added them, and their sources, when I already knew or pretty much knew, the info to be true.

I am going to spend tonight knitting, because I have the knitting group tomorrow, so I must, but I will write letters to all of my family to tell them that I want to be the record keeper. One of the pod casts I listened to, said to do this, so that people will be more likely to send inf they have to you, or me, as it were...I also want to write to Viki, my Dad's widow, but I think that might be tricky. She has remarried, and I am not sure how that will go over. Her new husband seems nice, we are Face Book friends, so... I hope that if I ask, she has the stuff, and that she will find it and send it, however, I have already asked for his ashes, and she was sketchy about it. I have a bad feeling, that she doesn't have anything anymore, if she tossed it in depression, that will be t bed, since Randy has two daughters and three grand kids who would have appreciated the stuff, and if her evil daughter got rid of it... Well, them's fightin' words, as it were...

Anyhow, I will send off letters by this Friday, I hope!

Today is do NOTHING day. Had breakfast and watched Harry Pitter 7.2 with Rob. Then, I ironed the paper between the pages of an old photo book I got at Savers, a local thrift shop, then I made a velvet bag for the book. So much for doing NOTHING... I'll try harder for the rest of the day, to do nothing, that is... Here I go, back to bed...

Got some books from the library, not to many, so I don't get overwhelmed. I started reading one of them at Gramma Millers. I also have been listening to a podcast about genealogy. Lots of things to give me ideas on how to get more info, hopefully without spending a lot of money!

Off to bed now!

Update, November, 23rd, 2011

No new info today, I found a lot of hints last night, on the updated Ancestry.com app I have. There are leaves now, and as John said, the leaves cost. What I wonder is, if I pay for the service, are the leaves then free?

Anyhow, I saved the links to the hints, I will go thru them this weekend to see if there is anything I don't have yet in there!

So, that is that for today...geez, 2 per page is still 27 to print!

No blog today. Spent a lazy day, mostly in bed, knitting and such. Tonight I am going to dinner with my sister and her boyfriend, that should be nice, then home to watch movies, in bed, with My Grrrl! What a great day!

Still working on our Zombie Closet! Maybe I'll do some stuff on that tomorrow, but we are going to see Nana, and Robert and I need to take about 4 trips worth of recycling to the recycling trucks, so that will take a while in itself. I also got a sewing pattern for pajamas, that should be fun, and somewhat easy.

Well, I better get showered, and get some grub into the kiddos!

No blog today, I am so tired and coming down with something, a cold, I am looking forward to next week, when there are only 3 days that I have to come in, and no big deals for us to have to go to... I need to relax, I need a break, and right now, I need a nap, that I cannot have, so bummer!

I did show a co-worker my PowerPoint of my family tree stuff, I am seriously thinking about joining Ancestry with my Xmas money...I don't think that it is a scam like my father in law thinks. I think that if you pay for the membership, you have access to all the leaves that you want... Anyhow, I also think that I am going to ask my Aunt Robbie if she has access to any of the stuff that Dad or Cousin Donna did... I might even ask my dad's widow. I know that her life is in turmoil now... but still... It is worth a try I suppose...

That is all, have to get the minutes from the meeting that stopped me from blogging yesterday.

So, I updated Ancestry.com today.

I talked to a friend the other day, I was told that it doesn't have to be expensive, I just have to put in the time, looking. Not sure where or what she meant! LOL

Today would have been my dad and Viki's 16th anniversary. I think 16... They were married the same year that Cara was born, so yep, 16 years! Wow! I miss my Dad... :(

Anyhow, I got all of my slide shows moved to Keynote in the iPad, so I will ALWAYS have them with me. Even the Ancestry.com app needs to be online. I mean I can look at it, but I cant make changes unless I am online, strange... Unhelpful...

Anyhow, I am not going to do an update today, I am only at work for 1/2 a day today. I will start again on Monday with Bobby Ray McCarty. I might work on another letter for my Gramma this weekend too!

I really do want to go there for Spring Break and record her... Need to work on that...

Updates

Updated the heck out of Ancestry.com.
Put all of my flashcards on rings, so they are bundled better, and I can flip through them easier.
Got pictures off of the findagrave site. I don't have time to get them all, but I will updating them as I can into Ancestry.com.

My PowerPoint is now to big to put into my iPad! LOL. So, now I have starting breaking it down by families. The Bishop one is all nice and has a theme, etc, and I have not gotten around to the others. I think that I need to come up with some other, easier way to do it. Marie was doing her this way, and the thing that drew me to it was that I could insert the links, to be honest, I stopped doing that a while ago, and that doesn't carry over to the iPad, plus I can't edit on the iPad. I am digging the icloud, from Apple. I can edit it in "Pages" either on the iPad or computer. However, moving it, at this point, makes me head hurt! LOL!

Anyhow, back to work, head is hurting, I think that I have the cold that Robert got from Jimmy, that Jimmy got from Sammy... LOL... I have a cold is all that matters!

Good day all!
