Howdy!
Well I am back at home on the farm in Wisconsin and am ready for the next adventure whatever that is. I will be on the farm for a while though so as to start working my way back up to broke, but that is fine with me. I love living on a farm--especially after spending so much time in New Zealand out in the middle of nowhere!
I have been getting things organized with the movie and the last things that I will do with it. I feel that it has a life of its own now and I need to let it grow and be seen by as many people as possible. The download count goes in surges but it is still growing and that is great! The interesting thing is that I can only know how many times it's downloaded from Mininova, and so there are probably many more times from other websites, so that's a good thing!
I am getting ready to let it out on a PR Web release and I feel the timing is right. It's the last blast and I hope it's a good one! I was thinking the other day that it would make a great stocking stuffer for the waitress/waiter in your family, and you might even enjoy it too. Hey for less than 20 bucks you can cross another off your list! Just a thought...
Ok, well I am going to get back to waitressing as it's my favorite job when I look at everything, and besides it's the most fun way I know to make money fast! I have realized that I really do and did miss it and despite the wonderful times I had with the movie. When I was a waitress was when I was the happiest, so off I go to don an apron and get my corkscrew out! See ya.....

Missing New Zealand...
Greetings from the mountains of Colorado. It's not exactly home but where the movie was shot anyway. I had put aside doing the blog for the remainder of the time I was in New Zealand. Why? Because the last thing that I wanted to be doing was sitting inside on a computer when I was in what I feel is the most beautiful country in the world. Plus after I left Oamaru I was on farms and way out in the country, so I was enveloped in that world of nature and animals.
I miss New Zealand terribly, but know that my decision to come back to this continent was the right one--for now! I am not closing any doors that's for sure. My experience in NZ was the greatest time for me and although I still have a few things to do with the movie, I am going to be making some big changes.
I highly recommend WWOOF-ing and Work Exchange to anyone who wants to learn about a country, the people and the culture. It's a wonderful way to be living there and you get to feel that you are accomplishing something by the work you are doing for the hosts. I almost can't pick out a favorite place but I will post a few photos of a couple of places and hope you enjoy them.
The movie free download is going great! There have been over 7000!!! people who have downloaded it! That is only from Mininova, and there are other sites, so probably there have been even more! I am happy about that for sure! I was hoping for more than one donation even after reading in places that it's worth the price of a movie (and I was happy to read that!) but they didn't follow through. Oh well at least I know from many of the emails I have received, that I have helped some people and that's what it's really all about!
Ok, will add a photo or two and will be back when I get the chance! Remember to follow your heart in whatever you want to do with your life and be true to yourself! Kia Ora...
