I’m in total heaven right now. There’s a huge storm pulling in. The lightening has been flashing excessively for the last half hour and it’s booming like no tomorrow. Based on the weather reports it’s going to be pretty nasty for the next couple of hours. I’m pumped because I usually LOVE storms like this. I was outside in the rain for a little while. I’m seriously just a big kid at heart lol. I love looking over and seeing the sky light up. The cloud must be right over my house because it booms almost instantly.
I’m also happy because I’ve FINALLY gotten a new banner program up for the 468×60 rotation. I’m really not sure why but the old one wasn’t going through the links correctly. Thankfully this one is now. I had to use an iFrame though, because the javascript file wouldn’t load properly but I really don’t care at this point as long as it loads that’s all I care about. My site still validates so that’s all that matters. I got a few emails from advertisers wondering why their links weren’t showing up properly. I’ve emailed them all back though. I went through about 200 scripts before I could get Ledads to work properly. :whew: Third time is definitely a charm!
I’m totally abusing my wireless capabilities right now. The minute any small bit of a storm is rolling through I instantly shut down all computers in the house. My desktop is already fully unplugged from the wall and I skuttled in here quick to unplug the living room computer as well. I was hooked up to the ac-adapter all day so I can afford to be unplugged for a little while. We still have lights in the house but the surges are a pain in the ass because of the faulty wiring in the building so if anything I’ll lose my router in a little while. It doesn’t matter too much though because I’m almost done with this entry anyway.
I’ve got a big busy week ahead of me. I picked up a few clients so that’ll bring in a quick $400 for me by next week. That will go into savings and cover a few birthday gifts. My dad’s birthday is on the 26th, my sisters is on the 29th, so at the end of the month…cash will be tight. I’m not going all out like I usually do, I’m just not in the mood for that this year. I figure a $80 limit is more than resonable. My sister is turning 20 and Dad’s only going to be 57 so it’s not like it’s any ‘turn of the century’ kind of birthdays.
In any event, I’m gonna head off. Bella’s trying very hard to curl up in my lap because she’s scared of the storm and there’s a fairly interesting episode of Law & Order: CI on TV right now so I guess I’ll watch it.
I hate storms like that. Lightening scares the life out of me, lol. Luckily your laptop will stay charged if the power goes out. I always enjoyed that with my laptop because I could throw in a dvd to watch or play a game.
Krissy: The lights are still on, obviously because I’m still online. I wouldn’t use a DVD on the battery though it eats up too much of the charge running extra un-needed stuff.
hehe we’re havin the storm your havin right now and its nice. i love the rain. its totally relaxing.
I wish that storm was here. I love storms like that. I haven’t seen/heard a good storm in quite some time. The past few days it has just been drizzling, which is mostly depressing.
absolutely gorgeous layout! i’m working on something new, surprise surprise! i think that $80.00 is a pretty darn good gift. I usually don’t spend that much at all. kevin’s birthday is june 10th. he’s going to be 28. i figure i’ll hold out for a big shabang at 30 for him.
i love storms too!!!!! right now i love anything but the sun.
I love storms too! As long as you’re indoors snuggled up and warm!
OOh a power surge is the last thing you’d want right now! That’d really piss you off.
Lots of June babies!! I’m a June baby, June 20th. An I see Ranee’s ^^ partner has his birthday on June 10th – same as my sister!! lol.. what month is it 9 months ago?? hmmm
Krissy: I prefer cold honestly. I’m a winter person haha.
I think it’s fairly safe to say that the majority of people who keep up with your site seem to love storms, myself included.
I am also a June baby, 18th birthday on the 15th! So the excitement builds …
Just wanted to say congrats on the new laptop (as late as that comment is), and I love coming to your site to read up on you (as creepy as that sounds)
Your life is interesting, and the way you portray it and the events in your blog is literally addictive. Keep it up, and I’m loving the new layout, by the way =)
Krissy: Happy Early Birthday hon. And thank you, my life isn’t that interesting but I just blog about random things that are actually good these days heh.
I envy you, the storm system that went over you is currently over my province. But what sucks, every other area is getting thunderstorms and we’re not. It’s not fair. *flails*
I have no birthdays coming up, as the next one for my family is mine! As such, I’ve been getting “What do you want for your birthday?” since Christmas. And now it’s getting worse, and my brithday is not until the middle of July.
