Not So Exciting News!

Well.  I'm a dunce. 

True story.  Turns out the old saying is true.  You DO get what you pay for.  My $3 domain name was a bust.  (FYI, always go with a name you know, not the cheapest.)  It turns out Network Solutions, the company I bought my domain name from, isn't exactly compatible with Blogger.  The link that Google gives me to direct my domain to my blog is T               H              I           S          L          O     N          G!!!!!!  The blank that I get to paste that link in on the Network Solutions page.  Its only thislong.  I called.  They said they can't fit it.  Google will have to give me a shorter link.  Only you have to be the President, the Pope, or the Queen to speak to anybody at freakin Google. 

So, being the genius that I am, I decide I'll transfer the domain name to Go Daddy.  Easy peasy.  And only $7.99 more.  No biggie.  Only to find out AFTER I transfer it, that there are internet rules that say you can't transfer from one company to the other until the domain name is over 60 days old.  Mine was 3.  Shoot me now. 

So on December 14th, you'll finally be able to reach me at my new domain.  Maybe I'll have a re-vamp by then and I'll do yall a little dance number.  GAH.

On a brighter note.  I learned something new today.

I stopped at Wally World on the way to work and bought some needles and freakin TAUGHT  MYSELF TO KNIT!!!!! 

I'm still very wobbly.  But practice makes perfect.  And now I want every size knitting needles available.  These big ones are sort of awkward.  And they make my stitches pretty loose.  I want a tight knit.  I need the smaller ones for sure.

Well, happy Friday yall!!!  My ol man is going hunting this weekend and to put up his tree stand for deer season.  I'm going to spend some time with my niece because I don't want to sleep alone never get one on one time with her.  Well, those are both true.  It'll be a nice change of pace. 

Hope yall have a wonderful fall weekend.  And enjoy the trees while they're pretty.  They'll be bare before too long!!!!

Exciting News!!!!!!

I have such exciting news to share today!!!  Yesterday, I recalled a conversation I had with Shelli @ Beauties and the Baseball Coach the other day.  She said she's considering buying her domain name for herself for Christmas!  What a sweet idea.  So for poops and giggles, I decided to see if www.mysewcalledlife.com was available and holy crap it was!!!!  One site was selling for only $2.95 for the first year!!!!!!  Done.  For $3 I now own my own website!!!!  Don't go there yet though.  Its all "under construction" and ish.

Downside:  I know nothing about fixing up my blog and making things all fancy!  Help all you techno gurus!!!!!

ALSO!!!!!  I got a sweet little Tweet yesterday as well (follow me on Twitter: @kort886) from Melissa over at Lulu and Sweet Pea.  She does an awesome little Pinsperation Project Day every Tuesday.  Last week, I linked up my Pinterest Project Monday post that I had posted the day before.  And would  you believe it if I told  you that I was the MOST FREAKING VISITED SITE FROM HER LINK UP?!?!?!?!?!  Seriously.  I'm just a baby little blogger over here.  I'm no Shannon Dew or anything.  I mean, I see this chick repinned on Pinterest like a boss.  She's got her blog going on.

So that's my goal.  I'm going to try to promote the crap outta my lil ol bloggy and maybe put a couple of ads on here and supplement the humble income at my house!

Do any of you regular big-time bloggers have any suggestions on jump-starting my rise to fame in the blog world?!  (See sarcasm warning in profile :)
