So this blog is now here, http://chachafance.info/

For anyone that cares, please update your bookmarks!

I returned from vacation feeling refreshed & ready to get back to work on my sites,
but I’m not just pretty burned out & sick of the social media scene for right now.
So, I haven’t been too into any of my social media hangouts like Rejaw, Twitter, Facebook, etc.

So I guess you’re saying, “then what else is there?” lol. Well, there’s a lot!

I have been working on my online IMVU.com related magazine, AviLicious.
Then there’s my Ning community for my AviLicious Magazine that I’ve been working on.
Then there’s the new graphics site that I’ve been working on for my AviLicious Magazine.

So yes I’ve been busy.

Also there’s my layout site, Layouts By ChaCha that has been needing a lot of updates, so I’ve been doing that.

And I’ve also been playing around on IMVU a lot, doing the 3D chat thing with my buddies.
I’d been away for a few months now so I’m getting back into it & getting addicted again!

So yea, I’ve been pretty consumed by all things IMVU related! lol.

Oh yea & then there’s GFCC ( the Global Friends & Culture Center); I’ve been doing a lot with them since we’re having to rebuild our community from the ground up & restructure our organization. I’m an Admin & Officer with them.

I work with a small group of wonderful individuals who all have one goal in mind, global peace & harmony!
Our community works hard to bring all cultures together while sharing ways to make money online & marketing tips.

So, as you can see, I’ve been quite for a reason!

As for my Social Web Tools site, well I’m hoping to get back to work on that starting February 1st.
I just found out that I now have a PR of 5 there & the site has only been online about 8 months so, I’ve got to get back to updating it ASAP so that I can keep my high rank. I’m really totally shock that the PR is so high, but definitely proud.

As far as this blog, I do plan to update it more because it does help relieve some stress just by writing all this stuff that’s in my head so you’ll probably be seeing more posts from me.

Until then, I’ll be quietly laying in the cut! ha ha

Sure, I can carry him outside each time, but then he’ll get used to being carried outside & I don’t think that will teach him not to pee at the door. He used to do it after I put the leash on him but now he does it before I even get the leash. He knows that it’s wrong because he’ll run away after doing it or go into the corner.

I live on an Army base & in an apt building so we’re required to have them on a leash at all times outside. Plus, there’s no fence or anything so he could just run into the street or somewhere else if I just let him out without it. It’s hard because just knowing we’re going outside makes him pee.

I’m sitting here pulling my hair out! I just wanna scream at the top of my lungs!

Any suggestions?

So far I think the best I’ve found is the At&t GoPhone though I a little confused about how it all works with the International calling & if calling him from here would count as mobile-to-mobile minutes. I guess my best best would be to go to an At&t store (which is 30 minutes away from where I live) & ask.

You’d think they make it a lot easier & cheaper for deployed soldiers to keep in touch with their families back home. As much as he pays for the Internet, it should not be as bad as it is. He’s always getting disconnected, there’s a huge delay most of the time & voice chat on Yahoo messenger sucks. We can do voice chat fairly decently on Google Talk but then the video chat is an issue. So, we just can’t win.

Grrrrrrr

We’d be straight if he just had a decent Internet connection since the Internet is full of ways to keep in touch. This sucks.

Screenshots anyone?

You can make a post from your dashboard using the widget seen below.

The sidebar is really nice too – you can leave it expand it or compress it. Nice!

                            

The built in stats are a Godsend – this is just a small preview of what you can actually see.

And there’s a lot more where that came from, but I don’t want to spoil it for you!

Just hang tight though because I am hoping to come back strong in 2009. I really feel like my 2-week Christmas vacation to visit my family will really help to give me back some of that motivation that I’ve lost with my husband being deployed. It would also help if I could have at least one more person to help me blog though I cannot afford to pay anyone right now. We’ll just see how it goes.

If you have any tips to help me get motivated & in the mood to blog, by all means please share! Thanks.

MTV is nice enough to let us hear the ENTIRE new Human album from Brandy before it even hits stores! How nice. I’m a huge Brandy fan & have been every since “I Wanna Be Down”. I’m happy to still have her around making albums.

If you’re interested, head on over & take a listen. BTW, I’m listening right now as I tight & so far, so good – I would never expect anything less from her though.

I really didn’t think I would like it since he’s singing on the whole thing but it’s very creative & catchy.
My favorite song so far is “See You In My Nightmares” ft Lil’ Wayne.

If you enjoy what I write about, then feel free to comment and/or subscribe, if not that’s fine too!

I just feel that this will be therapeutic for me & possibly help me deal with my husband’s deployment even better. It also gives people a chance to know the personal me a little more.

So, ta ta for now.
