Ok SO im back up and running and going to be posting NEW videos on blip.tv! SO Those videos will find a home here on blogger. :) I'm really excited about the prospect of making new videos again.
on the flip side, I'm a bit more busy than I use to be. A lot has happened since I lasted posted on here. My children has gotten older. My oldest is now living in another state with his father and step mom and i miss him SO very much! I am also on the dating scene again. There is one guy I have my fingers crossed for! I hope it works out between me and him. I'll let you know as I know where that is going! He has 3 boys of his own. (talk about a handful) BUT seriously, That fact does not scare me away in the least! We shall see where this shall take us! :)

Stay tuned for some videos I have taken that didn't make its way to youtube.

Now im an Offical "YOUTUBER"/ Label me!

2007-10-08T19:41:00.000-07:00

So here I go: Offically Vlogging using youtube! I must say when I first discovered youtube I didnt like the whole set up. I opted for blip.tv but I guess I'm jumping on the bandwagon hoping to get more hits, replys and comments on youtube since everyone is a youtuber nowadays. Not sure IF this will work out. I'm still not getting much in the way of Traffic. Oh well i guess somepeople are just made to be not as valued as others.
Well anyway...without further ado I bid you farewell and enjoy my vlogs!

(please comment if you watch my videos so i know that there are people out there...im getting a few views but no comments :(

Dakota's Bible Verse!

2007-10-08T19:38:00.000-07:00

Dakota's bible verse memorized! About Once a month (sometimes longer- depends on how busy we are to review) I will give my children a New bible Verse and we will study that book and chapter of the bible and memorize the verse. This is something we are doing on our own as a family not associated with the Church.

Tre is getting smart

2007-10-07T20:57:00.000-07:00

Yes I'm starting to get my boys to memorize Bible Verses!

Stay Tuned to me on youtube because here soon I'm going to start speaking out on things more! Ive been around the Video blogging world for going on 2 years now. and I'm just starting to think about what I can contribute in front of the camara insead of letting my boys take center stage which they will always be there to do that too..

so just keep an eye out for me in the near future!!

Happy Vlogging!

Trying to get things back to normal

2006-12-18T20:06:00.000-08:00

Hey Guys! I know you are all wondering where the next video is coming from well let me just tell you I had to do a destructive recovery on my computer and lost my quicktime pro and I forgot to write down the regestration key for backup before hand...Actually I had it written down somewhere but for the life of me I can't find it!! I tried another converter program "on a trial basis" but I don't like it.
So now Here soon If i don't find the quicktime pro key then I'm just going to have to buy a new one i guess although right now i can not afford to do so. 30 bucks can get my kids another new present! You see my dilema?

But Yeah another video is in the works so stay tuned!!

now i just gotta figure out the best way to use it and maybe run a domain (again) lol.
my music

okay so while i havnet did a video in awhile doesnt mean I wont do it anymore lol..i just like to master things and when i have one thing acomplished i move on to the next "hard thing" to do...so its really simple to make videos now...i wish i had a better camara though..maybe one of these days i'll be able to buy me something a little more pricy.
oh there will be more videos lol...stay tuned im sure there will be a few this summer of the kids for sure!!!!

GRR....saved files are gone

2006-05-05T13:47:00.000-07:00

I hope nothing happens to the vlogs i have here and uploaded on blip.tv because I mysteriously lost all my videos that was on my harddrive..not to mention ALL my pictures disappered...odd thing was the computer was making this funny noise, was showing that it was doing something then the computer turned itself off (i dont have it to do that) and then when i booted it up again all my files were gone..well the pictures and the videos anyway. SO I dunno what exactly happened but I think somehow someone hacked on my computer and deleted my files!!! UGH!!
I can't just turn my connection off when im not on the computer because of my "vonage like" phone...well its called mypeople and it works really well, heck of a lot better than Vonage!

I am pretty sure i have the firewall and stuff up it comes pretty much with the internet connection but I can't explain what else could delete files...

this is nerve wrecking!! I really really want a flash drive! That way i can just take it out when its not in use...

2006-01-17T14:42:00.000-08:00

Everytime I login and hit upload video it mysteriously logs me out before I can go further.
I do have another feed I assure you I just can't do nothing about it right now.
I'm going to give it a day or so, I emailed them..If they email me back we will see..
If its still broken tomorrow I might have to find another site to upload it too..its too big aparently for my tripod account. Der.

and I can't add it to my domain at blucrystal cuz I only get but soo much space for the cheap price I got it for....Duh!

Oh well..so anyway...

Stay tuned....another video or rather slideshow is soon to come....;D

Its a slideshow yes....don't worry I will be doing VIDEO'S again real soon...I just hate it when things happen like the kids decide to throw a temper tantrum....

Homework Time!

2005-11-29T17:31:00.000-08:00

My sonshine doing his homework and telling me about his day.You can see some slight attention problems here. As well as what he is discussing.

needing help!

2005-11-29T12:28:00.000-08:00

Im not the kind to beg for random handouts...but I figured hey its worth a try, right?
Problems~

1) My videos are not streaming..which means you can't even view them from AOL media viewer to begin with and it takes forever to load (okay yea a minute is forever now adays)...Streaming video would be soo much better.

2)I can't edit, splice, add titles, captions, credits or anything on these clips because...My camara produces Quicktime videos YET I have a windows computer and not a MAC (mac supports quicktime, while windows supports what else other than windows media-not quicktime)

There is ONE Quick Soultion to my problems:

Purchase The Fairly new Quicktime Pro 7 for Windows! That would pretty much elimnate my problems...

Okay your probably asking yourself Why don't you purchase this?

Answer: Take a look around...Do you see that its nearing Christmas? yea you probably do see that...Look at my living situation....I'm a single mother to 3 beautiful boys. One of them is special needs..well actually 2 of them are special needs and they need attention and more diligence and patience...
My twin son that has been sick off and on most of his life has done WAYY better since I've stopped working. Furthermore, The doctors doesn't want me to work..well I can work ...maybe a day but who's to say my lupus won't kick my ass the next day or I get another nervous breakdown? Those are chances I'm not willing to make right now..at least while my children are soo small..
For this that little 30 dollar software is a BIG deal! Like I said, Christmas is coming. I still have yet to purchase the kids a decent christmas (tho. i am working on it and have a few things to the side on layaway)
With that.
If you have a few extra dollars after you finish YOUR christmas shopping and you want to help out someone in need....
Don't be afraid.I promise I will use it for the quicktime pro 7. Hey you will be able to tell on my vlogs once I get it!
SO saying all this I leave you with my donation link....Give as you see fit.
If you feel like I don't deserve your extra dollar...fine..dont send any.
It won't hurt my feelings any..I'm just reaching out..for some internet love and support!

DONATIONS PLEASE HELP
