Crash and Burn…

Tuesday, June 12th, 2007

My sleep schedule is a little screwy, to the point that it’s kind of offsetting my entire day. I didn’t get much done yesterday when it came to any future ventures but that was evened out with the fact that I was getting things done for Dick and a new client. I have quite a bit of work to get done with another new person but considering it’s about 9:30am and I’m beat, I may call it a ‘night’ and just crash for a few hours to regain some of my strength. I did get quite a bit accomplished last night so at least I can go to bed feeling productive.

It’s Karen’s birthday today, we’re all going out to dinner tonight. She’s a sucker for The Roadhouse and her absolute favorite thing in the world is Fillet Mignon, so at least she’ll eat well for her birthday.

Since both Sean and my schedule is messed up, the ‘dinner’ we had last night (I barbecued) was kind of like breakfast so at 6am this morning I made us our real dinner, most of you would consider that breakfast. See, I’m about 12 hours ahead of myself, I should probably be living on the other side of the world, shouldn’t I?

Bella is knocked out next to me, snoring her little face off. Princess is fast asleep on the couch so at least we don’t have to listen to her barking at every little thing that goes past the house and Candy is being, well…Candy. She’s an older dog and kind of convinced that her tail isn’t actually hers so she tends to run away from it quite a bit. You can see the frustration in her face when no matter what she does it manages to catch up with her. It’s adorable watching her do ig but kind of sad all at the same time…heh.

Sean just installed Safari, they released it for Windows and it has quite a few nasty flaws to it. I think at this point it would just be easier to buy a mac, heh.

In any event, I’m going to get a few things taken care of and then head off to bed.

Ding Dong the Bitch be GONE!

Monday, June 11th, 2007

I’m a little behind on email but that’s based on the fact that it was kind of a ‘blah’ sort of day. I spent quite a bit of time working on blog-ideas.net, the basis of the site is close to done, I just need Sean to program the back end of it for me when work slows down for him after the launch. I also managed to get a few templates created as well, they’re going under the future freebies section. I have so many templates on my computer that were either rejected by clients, or just rejected by me, that completing the code for them and working most of them into the new wordpress formats should be somewhat beneficial to the content of the site.

The house guest will be leaving in approximately 4 hours, Sean and I are both happy about this. I’m to a point where I’m willing to stay awake long enough to see the woman off but with how heavy my eye lids are at the moment, I have no idea how much longer I’m going to be awake for. All I know is that the ‘dark’ feeling around the house will be gone once she gets out of here, and that’s absolutely fine for me. I’m unsure of what the weather is going to be like tomorrow but no matter how many clouds there could possibly be in the sky, there won’t be any in the house and I just love that!

I just checked the weather quick, I multitask with the best of ’em! It’s going to be about 80¬? tomorrow which isn’t too bad but in this office it’s rather uncomfortable. I’m sure all of the windows will remain open throughout the rest of the house while we’re airing things out but I know the office will be an ice box so that’s all that matters.

Once she leaves I’m going to have quite a bit of laundry to do. Any material that can make it into the washing machine will. All blankets, towels and anything that absorbed the smell is going to be piled up and cleaned out. I’m also thinking of unzipping the covers off the couch and doing those as well. The problem with the couch in the living room, however, is you can only wash the seats themselves you can’t take the covers off the back of the couch. Princess is on the couch all day and with her stinky booty, just washing the seat covers and not the back rest seems a bit absurd to me. Nothing a bottle of fabreeze can’t aid…right? :hrm: I do hope there’s enough to get the house covered too, fabreeze works wonders on smoke – trust me. The rugs and all seats are going to be done. I might even just rinse the walls down quick, she was only here for a few hours of actual smoke time but there’s a pretty bad long-lasting effect to it as well!

In any event, I’m going to get Bella and myself ready for bed. Lots to do tomorrow, plus a heap of work as well. Hopefully enough payments come through between now and Wednesday so I’ve got enough cash to cover Karen’s birthday dinner. I’m waiting rather patiently on an email back from someone in regards to some site work, I just hope that comes in soon; I could really use the money right now.

Spend a little … get a lot!

Sunday, June 10th, 2007

Baby and I were on a mission today, to cool down the office. In my head I knew the more affordable method would be to get some fans and place them in the room at the proper angles. He had a completely different idea in his head and $90 later, there’s now a shiny new air conditioner in our window. It’s working rather nicely at the moment, neither of us is dying of heat exhaustion anymore – there’s always an upside to that. Not even Bella is panting because she’s nice and cool in here, it works out very well for everyone.

The bedroom has a few new fans. We do have central air conditioning, but even with the central air, computers do need some source of a heat break. The bedroom is a completely different story. It doesn’t get that hot in there at night because even the television is LCD so that doesn’t give off any kind of heat. Our resident space-heater is Bella so there’s no real control there. When the air conditioner is on with the fan above us, it’s still a little bit warmer than I’d like so we got a big 16″ oscillating fan to put at the foot of the bed and for those nights when the air conditioning isn’t on and the window is open, we have a small box fan so that Bella can still have her window seat and we can still get our much needed air.

The bitch is gone for the moment, her and Karen headed down to Ocean City to hang out for the evening. There’s the chance that Karen picked someone up last night and they’re more than likely going to see him tonight. I hope she’s safe and enjoys herself, but in the end I’m just happy the bitch is gone. She stinks to holy heaven, I don’t think she showers regularly she kind of bathes in perfume, the house reeks of that on top of the smoke. Poor princess is in the living room barely able to breath at this point, even Candy doesn’t look too pleased. It’s freaking bull shit.

I’m gonna get back to work. I’m finally throwing some free templates together for blog-ideas.net so I can get that up and running soon, I also have some things to do for curvy-chick.net as well. Should be a busy day. I’m waiting on emails back from clients so once those come in I’ll wind up switching my attention over to income, not personal stuff.

We need to get out of here!

Sunday, June 10th, 2007

With the unwanted house guest, Sean and I are looking for any excuse possible just get out of here. She’s now asleep on the couch and I’m damn sure she’d have issues with people walking around the house. Karen is now stuck without a computer so she’s just sitting on the uncomfortable chair watching TV, all I can do is feel bad for her at the moment.

Sean and I feel as though we need a vacation, and no this isn’t based on just the last 24 hours. We’ve wanted to get out of here for a while, we work too hard and just need a break from it all. I’ve always wanted to go to Florida, he wants to go to Ohio to visit his brother. I got lucky and found Discount Disney Tickets, but as of this moment he seems uninterested in going. I can kind of see where he’s coming from though, it’s even hotter in Florida than it is up here, and there’s also heavy tourists walking around as well, worse than here and that’s considering that we’re in a resort town.

Either way we just want to get out of here and really have no idea how we’re going to go about doing so. I’m sure we’ll figure something out soon. I hear Maine has some rather mild summers, and as long as it’s not 90¬?F (32¬?C) for a few days on end, I’m pretty sure we’ll wind up looking north instead of south – that’s for sure.

I now know the speed of STUPID!

Sunday, June 10th, 2007

The house guest arrived last night and now I fully understand Sean’s frustration with the woman. She was told not to smoke by the computer, granted everyone else (including the dogs I assume) would prefer that she went outside. Because of the amount of smoke the computer inhaled, the Wireless PCI card decided not to work anymore. They were having some noticeable internet issues before the mother board died a half hour later. I’m sure you’re sitting there thinking that this just isn’t possible. But there are intake fans on both sides of the case which sucked in smoke and ash and now the computer is dead. So much for the simple request of following direction.

When Sean brought up that it was because of the smoke, she turned it around as though it was HIS fault to say “You saw me smoking next to it, why didn’t you say anything?” Meanwhile, not even a few hours before she was given specific instruction NOT to smoke there and did it anyway. Sure, blame someone who isn’t at fault and just recently spent upwards of $500 on a brand new computer for his mother’s birthday! FUCKING BITCH!

Bella is having trouble breathing, this woman CHAIN SMOKES like no tomorrow. They went out and did some shopping yesterday, came home and were only back here for about a half hour and I think went through four or five cigs, she smokes the 100’s too so that’s literally one after another, probably avoiding using the lighter and just putting them tip to tip to light up.

So she’s been here for 24 hours and Bella can’t breath, Princess is wheezing, a computer is dead and even with all of the windows open the house REEKS like no tomorrow. And speaking of tomorrow, that’s when she’s decided to leave. She woke Sean up to have him move his car NOW and then followed it with “So I don’t have to wake you up tomorrow…” ::blinks:: Yep, that makes PERFECT sense. You couldn’t do it later this evening, nope it had to be done now. She’s now asleep on the couch. I officially hate this woman. There aren’t many people that I can say I down right DESPISE, she was added to the list rather quickly, probably faster than anyone has ever been before.

Tag! I’m it?

Saturday, June 9th, 2007

Shauna has tagged me to tell you six weird things you probably didn’t know about me. While I’m close to positive that it won’t be a great list, I’ll still give it a shot anyway.

#1 – I love the smell of gasoline.
I know this isn’t really a ‘weird’ thing because I’ve heard of many people who feel the same way. The thing is, I spent close to 20 years living next to a gas station. I never really got used to the smell until I was about 10 years old and now I can’t get enough of it.

#2 – I’m sound sensitive.
This is why I’m so easily agitated by noise around me. I can hear basically everything, even if it’s from across the room and when background noise gets to being too much for me, I typically wind up going crazy and wanting to rip my hair out. I’ll frequently ask the higher-powers to make me go deaf for a few days but they haven’t quite gotten around to it yet. Sometimes even the sound of the keys while typing can agitate me and I have full control over that. I’ve been through many pairs of head phones over the last few years trying to drown out the noise behind me, nothing’s changed.

#3 – I have more than perfect eye sight.
Everyone in my family from both sides has trouble seeing. They either wear glasses or contacts and if they don’t, they’re to the point where they need to but are too stubborn to admit to it. Even looking at a monitor for close to 15 hours a day I still have better than 20-20 vision. I can read liscence plates for up to 200 feet away and it freaks some people out when I’m driving with them because they’re lucky to even be able to SEE the car 200 feet away, let alone read the plate on it.

#4 – I have O.C.D.
I’ve had this problem for years. If I can’t do it with even numbers then I can’t do it at all. I wash my hands twice, I clean things twice, the volume number on the television has to be able to be divided by two or I go crazy. For quite some time I was washing my clothes twice but knowing how much water was being wasted I had to stop myself from doing it. I now, however, get my way still. I only pour half caps of detergent into the machine so I can do it twice to get one whole. I light cigarettes twice, I take two sips of everything I drink, I chew only with even numbers before swallowing…it’s just a whole series of things that build up.

#5 – Organizational Freak
I’m sure this falls under O.C.D. but this is another problem of mine. I live by the motto of “A place for every thing and every thing in it’s place.” I file paper work that most people wouldn’t even think of saving. I have everything labeled in a way that’s easy for even the dumbest of people to figure out. Kitchen cabinets need to be organized in a manor that makes sense when I’m cooking. Karen has things kind of all over the place because she doesn’t really cook so she doesn’t understand a chefs point of view on accessibility. Since it’s her kitchen, however, I can’t rearrange anything and I have to tell you – it’s driving me bananas.

#6 – I’m engaged.
While it’s not really a ‘weird’ thing, I haven’t been that open about it either. I’m in a very happy relationship and will more than likely be in this relationship for a very long time. We get along very well, know what each other is thinking and can battle it out like no tomorrow and still love each other five minutes later. It’s a great feeling. Now, if only I could get him to clean his shit up to cover my issues with number 4 and 5, and maybe this will be a match made in heaven…heh.

So yea, there’s my six. I’m going to tag: Ranee, Esther, Jenny and Sean for this one.

Back to Relaxation Time…

Saturday, June 9th, 2007

I was working on Shauna‘s template for most of the day, I completed it not too long ago. I’m sure she went to sleep quite some time ago considering it’s about 5am for me, so I’m sure I’ll hear from her in the morning. I started doing a little bit of work for Dick, I need to get in touch with him to quote him for it. I tend to jump the gun sometimes but I doubt he’d mind considering he’d already given me the list of changes that he needed done.

I did have some downtime when Sean and I took a quick drive to EB Games and cashed in on his store credit for a few games. They’re running some thing at the moment that’s buy two used games or accessories and get one free. I got myself a new Nintendo DS game and we picked up two Playstation 2 games in the process. I’m not sure what the basis of the game is. Since I’m not really a ‘gamer’ I chose the game based on how pretty the box was. That sounds stupid, I know…but that’s just how I work sometimes. It’s RPG based according to Sean, maybe it’ll actually be worth getting into.

Karen’s house guest will be here in about 9 hours or so, She’s taking the Cape May Ferry around 1, so considering that drops off about two towns over and the trip is only about an hour I figure she’ll be here 2 – 2:30. Sean hates the woman, she tends to nag him to death which typically will piss him off. I’ll just keep him locked in the office with me all day tomorrow. I doubt he’ll mind though, Halo 3 is going out of Beta on Monday so he’s most likely going to be playing quite a bit anyway. Hopefully his boss gives him some time off this weekend, he’s been working pretty hard anyway. I don’t think he’s had a single day off this week, honestly. That needs to change.

MmMmm, I almost forgot it was after 5. The coffee pot is perking and now the house is filled with the sweet smell of fresh coffee. Too bad I’m going to bed in a few minutes, I’ll just have to reheat it when I wake up later. Oh well.

I’m going to get some final email checks out of the way and then get myself to bed for the night. Bella’s a little antsy at the moment so if I were laying down with her she’d calm down fairly quickly. She’s seriously like having a child. I’m just lucky enough to not have to deal with crying, diapers or her talking back with a queen sized attitude.

:: smacks senseless ::

Friday, June 8th, 2007

I have no idea why but I’m agitated as SHIT right now. I’m trying very hard to work on getting Shauna‘s template completed and every little noise around me is driving me bananas. Sean is having a sneezing attack, Bella is being obnoxious and just little stupid noises like the air conditioner kicking in are bothering the shit out of me. It’s to the point that I wish I could just go deaf for a little while just to get some shit done. I threw my iPod on and now hopefully this will get my concentration back.

I’ll tell you this much, the one millisecond pause between songs is equally annoying.

Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo?

Friday, June 8th, 2007

PPPPPPBaby and I spend quite a bit of time watching the cartoon network, mainly because he’s a big Futurama fan and I personally enjoy Family Guy, either one is typically on around the time we turn the television on for the night. A few times during the day, however, I’ve seen commercials for a series named “Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo” I personally have no idea how to say it without sounding like an idiot but when I saw an opportunity to learn some more about it, I went ahead and took it. After logging into a download site for them, I came across a few episodes. I’m not really into anime but I found the first episode to be rather amusing. Some guy is going around and basically scalping everyone. Not in the way you’d assume though, they’re just stealing peoples hair.

This one girl had very pink hair that I actually found to be rather cute. She’s running for her life to get away from him and some other guy comes up and ‘saves her’ from it. She then turns around to find out who it is and it’s some big blonde dude with nose hair that’s so long it’s waving in the wind. He’s the main character Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo. I found it to be rather amusing, there are sections in Japanese when it comes to the wording of the video, however, and I have no idea what any of it says. I figure if you’re going to convert a video for multiple audiences, at least transform the text too – you know? The running theme for each episode is rather funny too “Let’s get wiggy with it”.

It’s not as obnoxious as most anime that I’ve seen, I may actually watch this show on occasion. If you’re interested in learning more about it, you can check out the Official Website for it.

Just when things are going well…DAMN IT!

Friday, June 8th, 2007

I’ve recently been in touch with an admissions director at AIU Online. In order to go for my bachelors through them, I need to have already completed my associates because their school year starts on the junior level, not the freshmen level that I was previously assuming. The problem is, she only could really crunch the numbers for me – I want to talk to someone in the visual communications department and really learn some more about the actual course itself.

It’s going to cost me about $32,000 to get my bachelors through them, that counts for the entire course and includes books, software and other things. She claims it’d be smart to stick with them when it comes to the associates degree because it’s only going to take me about 10-15 weeks tops. The issue I have with that is, how am I going to come up with the $19,500 to take the Associates and then another $32,000 to take the bachelors all within maybe 5 months of each other. It’s also 90 credits in 15 weeks that makes no real sense to me, that’s borderline killing myself just to get the damn degree.

I could just go to Penn Foster and get that taken care of for $4,000 but I also have to factor in that at the end of each semester I need to take a proctored exam and I don’t know ANYONE down here that has the minimum of an associates degree that could help me out in that regard. So when it comes to that alone – AIU is looking much better.

Either way I’m going to be completing the degree through AIU, I need to get my ID’s taken care of to reposition me down here because any scholarship, grant or financial aid that I file for needs to be sent down here and I don’t have any current proof of residence other than my WAMU account being sent down here and my casino mailers coming here as well. If I spent $50 to register to live in the complex, I’m sure that’ll count for something as well. Either way I consider myself screwed just when things were starting to go well for me.

Lack of inspiration getting the best of me…

Friday, June 8th, 2007

I’m going through a severe lack of inspiration at the moment. I believe it’s based on the fact that I haven’t been down to the beach in a while. According to my inbox I have quite a few jobs coming to me but I feel as though I don’t have enough energy to get through them. The work I’m doing at the moment seems rather small in comparison to what I’m used to. I don’t discredit it in any way because I do love what I do, don’t get me wrong. I just feel like I should be doing something much bigger than I have been lately. The little site work here and there doesn’t bother me by any means, I just want to work on something HUGE.

I get quite a bit of inspiration from listening to the waves. I always feel a lot more energized when I’ve left the beach. I get the same effects by looking at the stars as well. Unfortunately with all of the ambient light around here, it’s close to impossible for me to see enough stars to keep me calm. I came across a new product recently; it’s called skyscout. It’s a hand-held, point-shot-and-identify multimedia guide to the universe that can guide you through the night sky better than if you had your own private astronomer standing next to you. I’m used to my grandfather telling me where things are located. He’s always been into astronomy, he’s spent lord knows how much money on telescopes and other interesting gadgets so he could get a better look at the sky at night. He trucks it up to Maine with his friends once a year when they’re doing the children’s toy run. They spend a bit of time just laying in the grass looking up, there’s close to no light up there so the sky looks like nothing but sparkles at night.

Living in a highly populated area with a lot of ambient light, I never really believed that the sky could be over loaded with stars. Sean took me to some farm a few miles inland and I close to pee’d in excitement – I could see everything. The area we were in had us both on edge but if we could happen to find another field like it (which isn’t hard in Delaware considering it’s all freaking farm life here) I’d really like to go back and sit under the stars again.

You can’t see them very well from the beach, the lights along the board walk make it hard for you to really see anything at night. Sure, the waves calm me down but after that, there’s not much to look at – you know? I guess I’m just venting, I don’t know…could be that I’m feeling borderline depressed today for some reason.

The weekend is creeping up…

Friday, June 8th, 2007

We finally got out of the house and I was able to pick up things I needed. We went to Dollar Tree and I wound up spending a bit more than anticipated but it was still only about $20 in the end. Then a quick trip to Food Lion got me everything else that I was looking for. The problem is I wasn’t expecting to get back as late as we did and I wound up not cooking the Sausage and Peppers as originally planned tonight. Karen was already eating when we got home and I know for a fact that Sean wouldn’t bother with it so I wound up just making some pasta and I’ll just cook it all tomorrow.

Karen’s friend is going to be here this weekend, Sean hates her so I can only imagine how well this is going to go. They’re going to spend the day in Ocean City so I’m sure that’ll take some stress off of him. She complains that he drinks to much, meanwhile the minute she walks in the door is typically when anyone would grab for the booze. I don’t know the woman yet and I’m more than positive that she’s going to drive me to drink. I know people who have never TOUCHED alcohol who would probably consider picking up a new hobby after coming in contact with this woman.

Anyway, Karen and I wound up outside after dinner cleaning up the yard. There were a few tree’s growing a long the side of the house that weren’t actually trees at all…just a lot of weeds that seemed to appear over night. The gardeners in this complex do NOT get anywhere near the house when they’re mowing the lawns. Because of this, there are bushes of tall grass growing around the house that aren’t supposed to be there. If any of the fuckers spoke English it would be easier to tell them to get NEAR the house when they’re doing this stuff instead of just kicking all the grass up to the back of the house. It’s now mutated into a mini-hill that’s hard to dig through. We got it done though, the front of the house can wait a few days before we get in there to clean it out. We need a new wire on the weed wacker, something I’ll be picking up tomorrow anyway.

For now I’m just getting some small things done and I’m also doing a little bit of editing to the header image I made for Shauna’s template and then I’ll work on getting the rest of the kitchen cleaned up. The counters are taken care of around the back wall – the Island is the real hell hole that’s filled with mail, newspapers, and little packets that just need to be sifted through and thrown out. It’s a quick 15 minute job, I just have to get my ass in gear on it.

Get your ass up already!

Thursday, June 7th, 2007

Baby’s finally awake and now I’m waiting patiently for him to take a shower so we can get out of here. I’ve got my lists made out so I know exactly what I’m looking for at Dollar Tree and Food Lion but it’s hard to do anything when you’re waiting for someone to get up and go. I’m sure he’s working on something important but it’s just not going fast enough for me. I know I seem kind of bitchy about it but there’s a lot of shit for me to get done today after I get back from the store.

I have to start dinner, finish cleaning the kitchen, work on straightening up the living room and dining room. I then need to get back to the computer while dinner is in the oven and continue working on things for clients. I also need to get a few templates knocked out for blog-ideas.net so I can work on getting that up and running. I need to finish the format of the administration panel so that Sean can get to working on that as well. It’s just a whole series of things that need to be done and unfortunately there isn’t enough time in the day for me to do it all without a tiny bit of help.

Yep, I’m stressed out – can you tell?

Fathers Day Fast Approaching

Thursday, June 7th, 2007

With Fathers Day fast approaching, I’m confused as to what I’m going to get him. Sure, there’s always the typical Fathers Day Baskets but I’ve done those so many times that I feel sort of repetitive with it. Another thing that needs to be factored in is my fathers BIRTHDAY is the following Tuesday so I either need to do a large gift that will cover both in one shot or two little gifts, either way I’m stuck for ideas.

I came across gourmetgiftbaskets.com not too long ago and while I like what they have to offer, I don’t know if my father actually would. Now he appreciates everything, don’t get me wrong, he’s on a diet at the moment though so I’m not sure if sweets are really the way to go for me. I know he’s into meats and cheeses but considering his diet, not sure he’d take to it quite well either. I certainly couldn’t get him any candy, though he’s a fan of trail mix at the moment considering he’s eating it all in moderation. He’s lost about 15-20lbs and is starting to get himself back towards his college weight, that seems like so long ago but he was happier back then, so were his back, neck, shoulders and legs.

I did find a lot of their other baskets to be rather interesting though. They’ve got these cool beer baskets with all different kinds of goodies in there. There are also theme baskets and any other kind of basket that you can really think of. They’re a bit on the pricey side, then again the one I figured would be perfect for dad is in the $150 range and that’s just my personal taste. They also have baskets in the $70 range and considering they overload them with tons of nifty gifts, it’s worth the price. I found a couple in there for Baby but we’ve got other plans for our anniversary anyway, no reason to spend all the money on a gift basket containing food he’d probably never touch (very, very picky eater), we’ll stick to our vacation plans.

At the end of the month I’m going up to New York to visit dad and my sister for their birthdays. I guess I should start getting some baskets together now, shouldn’t I?

How could I NOT be smiling?

Thursday, June 7th, 2007

I’m not sure how I managed it, or what powers that be are floating around me helping me out at the moment but I’ve landed some work that’s more than likely going to keep my schedule full for a while. I’m working hard on cranking out templates for current clients but after that I’m going to have a fairly solid work flow with a few people whom contacted me over the last couple of days. It could turn into some fairly decent money, adding a few thousand to my income every month. That on top of the $800 average a month on paid posting and then the web hosting subscriptions coming in, it’s safe to say I’ll be set for a while.

I’m keeping everything in savings though. Yes, I’m going to enroll in school. Yes, I’m going to buy an iMac (I’ve wanted one for years) and Baby and I desperately need a new bed. After that, however, it’s going to be smooth sailing for quite some time, I can’t wait.

Baby is still asleep at the moment, though I think he’s getting close to waking up because there’s a lot of sniffling going on in the bedroom and typically he can’t breath too well in the morning. It’s either him sniffling or there’s a bird outside the window making a strange nasal sound…do birds even have a sense of smell? :hrm:

Bella’s sweating her butt off but that’s because the air conditioning hasn’t been on yet today. It’s only about 70 something and while it’s rather warm in the office, it’s comfortable outside. It’s nice to air the house out on occasion so I’m keeping myself from switching on the central air.

In a little while Sean and I are going to take a quick trip up to Lewes because I need to pick up a few things from Dollar Tree. Last night I made corn on the cob with dinner and there weren’t any corn holsters to keep Karen and I from burning our fingers off. So I figure I’d drop a dollar or two and pick some up – cheaper than Wal-mart! Then I’m probably going to hit up the super market because I need to pick up some things for dinner tonight and Blockbuster is right next door, I know Baby needs to pick up a few things…I think he’s getting Norbit, It came out on Tuesday – who knows. I’m just waiting for Reno 911 to come out, I think that’s the only movie this month that I’m actually looking forward to.

I’m going to get some emails taken care of, then I’m going to continue working on a template for Shauna and then pick up on a few things for Dick. Nothing beats productivity!

Cooking, Cleaning, Grooming … it never ends.

Wednesday, June 6th, 2007

Kay and I went shopping tonight. We traveled up to Milford to Big Lots and I’m happy to say that I got myself the baskets I was looking for. I was surprised to find out that they’re only $2 each and the perfect size for everything I need to go in them. When I moved everything over to my new closet I had to factor in that I wasn’t going to have a dresser readily available to me so I knew once the shelves went up that I was going to need some baskets to get my underwear, bras and socks in the same room with my clothes. Right now I still have my clothes in Baby’s dresser which is in the office closet, it makes no sense for me to go across the hall just to get the important stuff – you know?

After Big Lots we took a quick drive over to Wal-Mart, I was happy to find that a lot of the things I needed were on sale so I was able to get everything I set out to get today. I know I’ve been spending quite a bit lately but that’s also based on the fact that it’s items I need on a day-to-day basis. I’m not sure what’s up with Wal-Mart lately but they haven’t had the canned chicken that I give to Bella in quite some time. A lot of items are on back order for them (according to the few employees we spoke to) so hopefully that will all be taken care of soon. For now I found another brand that’s still 2 for $4 so I’m not too concerned – she’s eating well either way.

We picked up a lot of veggies and meat for the week. We plan on doing a lot of barbecuing. There’s a farm right next to this Wal-Mart so there was an overabundance of fresh unshucked white corn, watermelon and other yummy foods. Tonight I’m going to do some turkey burgers for myself, beef burgers for Kay and Sean and maybe even a steak or two. I’m also going to steam some corn and carrots to throw on the side. Tomorrow I’m doing sausage and peppers and the following night will most likely be grilled chicken. So at least I’m going to be keeping myself busy and still sticking to my diet as well.

It’s going to be a fairly busy day for me. Right now it’s about 5am so I intend to get some sleep soon but when I wake up I’m going to be cleaning the kitchen, finishing up some work online and then I’m going to give Bella a bath because she desperately needs one. It’s been a few weeks since she’s had one, I’ve been rather busy lately, so her eyes are getting a little dirty and her paws could use a cleaning as well. I used to give her one every week so I never had to worry about her ears getting too bad or her eyes for that matter. Since it’s been almost a month she just looks really ratty. I’m going to soak her down, scrub the hell out of her and then once she air dries for a little while I’ll hit her with the hair dryer and fluff her up.

I’m sending her to the groomer next week, I know I was supposed to do that a few weeks ago but I wasn’t expecting to come up to a dog in pain either. Since she dug herself out of the room I had no choice but to post-pone her appointment and take care of her medical needs before the vanity ones – you know?
