Picture Of The Day
Although this is not me today it is basically the look on my face after the long day I have had. I am tired, and generally pooped. I am glad tomorrow is the last day of moving stuff out of the old house as it is the last day of this month. Next it’s the unpacking process. There is a lot of that to do as well.
Wish me luck.

Photo Of The Day
I made pancakes for breakfast a few days ago and this is what it looked like after being cut then having syrup added. The picture makes it look burnt and it actually wasn’t. They came out yummy ‘n fluffy. I’ll have to make some for breakfast this weekend.

I call this my Legal Mouse Pad. Why? Well, that’s a legal pad with my to-do list written on it and I also use this same legal pad as my mouse pad. Nothing is better than something that offers multi-uses. I should make a prototype styled mouse note pad and patent it… naw. I have too much to do now as it is. 
However, my idea is a free-for-all. Feel free to steal it.

Photo Of The Day
Since I am going to back out of the product review feature I had been doing, I just had to make it my photo of the day at the very least. The coffee pictured here is the Signature Blend found at the very top of this page. The bag of coffee I have above is only half full and originally was only 12oz, the coffee is sold in 2lb bags on the website.
Anyway, that’s some delicious stuff and definitely worth the cost if you want to try some. 
The coffee gets a 5 out of 5 from me.

Photo Of The Day
As you already know, I love good deals. If you can’t tell, these are supposed to be flash drives that are the size of a credit card with pictures on them. Originally marked at $25 (according to the old price sticker), I only paid a portion of that at: $4.50. The black things under them are the carrying cases to put the drives in.
I would have never bought these if it wasn’t for the fact that they were so cheap. When I tried to buy my most recent one today, the one on the left in the photo, they tried to charge me $10 for it. I told her that was wrong, it was only $4.50 so she called in someone to look and alas, I was right (as I already knew) and all was well.
I own 3 of these things. Two of them are empty and their destiny will be determined at a later date. One has all of my important files on it as well as a back-up of for all of my websites. If I had to switch computers to work, I could do so because I have everything I could ever need on my flash drive. I am particular like that.

Mod Note
I just wanted to warn everyone that because we are still in the clean out process of the old place I most likely will not be able to do Product Review Saturday tomorrow or next Saturday. It’s just in case. I am probably going to drop the Inspiring Business Sunday completely, though. Too much is going on in my life and no one really seemed to be all that into it anyway.
I want to get back to normal soon, we’re just not ready yet. That is if I decide to even bring back the product review feature. After all, it wasn’t all that popular either. We’ll see.

I took Aubree outside to play today and we came across this frog. Isn’t he cute? I could hardly believe that he sat there and let me put my phone so close to him so I could get this picture.

Mod Note
As a work at home mom there is so much that I do, and so many things that I think others would relate to if I chatted about it. Normally if I decide to take on a new personal writing task I do it here but this time I decided to go a different route. I have created an account at Xomba called mompreneur and from there I hope to write about my adventures as a mompreneur, gain some new interest in all of my websites (as well as my writing services) and just all around try a new route in my work at home quest.
If you’re an aspiring work at home anyone, or just interested in my adventures as one, please stop by my Xomba account and check out what I have to say. I hope to update it as regularly as possible. It will always be topic specific to me as a mompreneur and other work at home issues I feel like chatting about.
Of course this does not mean I won’t mention anything work related here, I still will. Think of mompreneur at Xomba as wahm related articles. Demandez L’Ange will always be my personal blog where I can chat about my feelings on everything in between Ask Angel and life.

I am pretty sure this is poison ivy with something growing on it. So sure, in fact, that I think this is the reason why I caught poison ivy when I was digging out my Iris in the first place. If you know anything about poison ivy (or what is growing on this batch) feel free to leave a comment. There is another piece that is much smaller. It resembles this one but it’s smaller and doesn’t have spots on it. I am pretty sure that one is poison ivy.

I tell you what, I will not be able to take this back to normal anytime soon. Not until everything is over. I am going to give the dirt… We’re in the moving process. That is why I’m so busy. Over the next week, actually, I won’t be here at all. I really am just too busy. This is the last post you’ll see from me until I am safely tucked into the new home.
I’m sorry, I don’t have time to write and pack at the same time. We will get back to normal as soon as we’re safely packed into the new place and my internet it set up there. If I don’t put this on hold, I will never be able to concentrate on what I write as I need to nor would I get what I needed done for the move.
I will be back as soon as possible though. I hate leaving this unwritten for so long. But you’ll know that once I start writing again, I am safely moved. So that is a bonus. Count on it being almost 2 weeks before you hear from me again.
Thanks for understanding.

Don’t expect anything special until I am done with all my personal things that I can’t talk about yet. Oh my goodness, you’re lucky I had time to write this much. And I am so tired, you have no idea. I can’t wait until the process is complete and things can go back to normal.
Actually, I just realized that all I have to talk about… is stuff I can’t really talk about yet. hah.

Aubree and I have taken some walks lately. She likes to walk, and I could use the exercise. I need to work on weight loss again. Just… good food is too good, lol. I am a sucker for yummy stuff.
There is this Chinese place in town that tastes so darn good, but it’s so bad. Very unhealthy. I am a huge fan of their Crab Rangoon. Oh boy, I could eat them forever. Thinking about it is making me hungry, actually.
But weight loss is a big must. I need to go back down again. Get up and move during the day occasionally. Get some steps in. Although I think losing weight is a little unavoidable, as you will soon understand once I tell you my secret.

Aubree really wants me to read her a story, and I really want her to go to sleep. So I think I will take this moment to do just that. Good night everyone!
