So long, my money

I have been convicted of fraud. And many of you have aided this criminal.

As you may notice, I no longer have ads along the bottom right-hand side of this blog. While I previously asked many of you to click on the ads to provide me my sole source of income (or, "give me spare change as I lie helpless on the side of the road," as my sister Megan so kindly compared it to), I didn't realize that clicking on the ads wasn't enough. (If you remember my previous post, I really would have just laid there, waiting for you to throw money at me. Remember this photo?)

Anyway, I got an e-mail from AdSense yesterday, the Google program that generates ads, saying my account had been disabled because it "posed a significant risk to our AdWords advertisers." I guess because people weren't staying on the ad sites long enough to make an impression, they realized it was all a scam to make me money. Oops. So, thank you for all your help (I was almost at $100!!), and I apologize for wasting your time.

So now I'm back to Square 1 on how I will get money to buy much-needed souvenirs at my upcoming Britney Spears concert (my bachelorette party!). Any ideas?

In other news, as we enter the third week of my blog, I have now been viewed in nine countries and 32 states more than 1,200 times. Who are all these people? I'm not sure, but I am thrilled they're here! For those of you reading, become a follower of my blog by clicking on the link on the right. I don't know what purpose it serves other than making me feel good about myself, but for a girl who's entering her third week of unemployment, a little self-esteem boost can't hurt.
