I’m dealing with complete MORONS!

Monday, June 18th, 2007

All of the yard work has been completed, the weed-whacker has no more string so completing the job to the original standards is close to impossible to meet. It looks cleaner, there isn’t an over abundance of crap laying around, it’s clean and a few twigs here and there aren’t of any concern to us at all at this point. The house was dented up a little bit thanks to Sean going ape shit with a weed whacker but it shouldn’t matter too much considering no one really goes back there…or so we thought.

We found out from the lady next door that a man who’s always got his dogs running around in the backyard had a complaint about what the neighbors to the other side of us did to their backyard. They put up a fence and also put a shed up that matched their house perfectly (down the color and style). The yard, by everyone else’s standards is absolutely gorgeous. They’ve done beautiful work on the landscape, there’s more than enough room for their two small dogs to run around and there’s plenty of seating for the two of them to just sit back and relax on their stylish Adirondack Chairs. So what exactly is the problem? This man lost running room for his dogs and now have to go further away from his house in order for them to play. I can’t wait to see his complaint after we put up OUR fence. I’d love to hear him complain that his dogs can’t take a shit in OUR BACKYARD anymore! This guy has more than enough room in his own backyards, the fact that there’s a foot-ball field up the block doesn’t mean your pets are entitled to be there. The last I heard, you don’t walk along the side of someone else’s home so you can allow your dogs to crap in their back-yard. Fucking douche bag.

These people are something else…

Saturday, June 16th, 2007

I’ve had a rather busy day. So busy to the point that I was unable to get any work done for clients or even myself for that matter.

Last night a letter showed up from the main office of the community stating that our yard was in desperate need of some work. For some god forsaken reason this complex is all about vanity, I’m not sure if it’s based on the fact that there are tourists in the area or what but telling us that we have to garden on our own property because it’s ‘offensive’ is completely beyond me.

I’m aware of the fact that a few things did need to be done, I’m not going to deny this by any means. What others fail to realise, however, is the fact that the three people living here work for a living. We’re not lucky enough to be like 80% of the community and live off our retirement funds. Since it’s against complex rules to use any kind of power tools outside past 7pm (I think) it’s not like we can get home or outside in time to get these things done after working our 9+ hour days. It may be cheap to live in Delaware but that’s because your paycheck is where you live. I’m living off a New York based salery, Karen on the other hand – isn’t that lucky.

A landscaper comes in once a week and does the grounds. You have to pay like $35 some odd dollars each month in order for them to do the trim work. This trim-work, however, more than likely doesn’t include weeding and unfortunately there’s a curse on Karen where no plants seem to be allowed to grow. There’s a lot of greenery out there, however none of it is up to the complex’s oh-so-important standards.

So today I was outside for about five hours, that’s 1/2 of a days work – and nope, won’t be reimburssed for it either. I was running around with the weed wacker just so I could make the old-geezer in the main office happy. They also complained that our barbecue needed to be moved because it ‘appears to be in the neighbors yard’, we were no where near the property line with it. I think it’s just that the gardener couldn’t weasle his fat ass through without having to slow the fuck down. Last I heard, you don’t cut grass doing 30 miles an hour through people’s backyards.

So once that was all said and done I wound up sitting on the porch for a few moments and just taking it all in. I only managed to accomplish the front of the house, there are still 3 more sides to take care of, two of which are rather long. My hands were numb because of the vibration coming off of the weed wacker. My legs were sore from the constant getting up and down, which has also completely KILLED my back. I was filthy, covered in grass shavings and dirt. My hair was all frizzed out from the humidity, I was sweating more than any female should and at that point even ice cold water and a cool breeze couldn’t cool me down. All I wanted to do was take a shower.

I come inside to find more piss on the rug from Princess, wet wee-wee pads from Candy and then I wound up doing some cleaning around the kitchen. By the time I did get around to taking a shower it was after 8pm and Sean and I were heading up to Milford to do some shopping. The Wal-Mart down here is only open until 10pm and I do NOT like being rushed. We left the house after 9pm, got up to Milford and since it was a super center, we managed to get some grocery shopping done as well. We get back here a little after 1am and while I’ve had opportunities to get some work done in the last hour, I don’t have the concentration considering my eyes are starting to cross on me.

I just hope that after we finish up the rest of yard work tomorrow, my eyes will be cooperating with me and I can actually get shit done. :ugh:

I’m going to bed.

Working, Networking, PC Issues … save me?

Thursday, June 14th, 2007

I’ve been rather productive today. I’ve gotten a lot of work done and I’m now working on some content for other sites to keep me active. My sleep schedule is still messed up, I woke up later than anticipated but I think this is based on the fact that my body gave up on me last night and I just CRASHED. Either way I woke up too late to get myself back on track so now I’m working hard in order to get there.

I took my external hard drive off Sean’s computer. I can’t run two programs at once whenever a file is being called off the external, so instead of having it networked I’ve got it plugged directly into my computer and thunderbird is already running much better for me. Even Dreamweaver isn’t stalling up for that matter. Considering I’m working with heafty .css files at the moment, notepad just wasn’t going to cut it for me!

My white-board is pretty full at the moment, hopefully I can start getting everything knocked out. I swear I’m going to need another one of these things, heh.

Slowly chugging along…

Wednesday, June 13th, 2007

I’m currently running on about 2 hours of sleep. After we got back from dinner last night I wound up crashing until 3:30 this morning. It was only about 4 hours, then around noon I wound up falling asleep for another 2 hours but that didn’t help me much because my eyes are still bloodshot like holy hell. I’m planning on getting to sleep in the next hour or two, then I’ll be up around 6am and work a solid day. It’s kind of the schedule I like to be on at this point, honestly. I was too tired to go to the beach tonight, I really did want to see what the storms in the area are doing but I can’t keep my eyes open at this point, so there’s no real point in going.

I spent a lot of time keeping myself active today. I got a lot of work done and even managed to get some much-needed cleaning done around the house. The only thing left to tackle will be covered tomorrow. I’m going to wash the blankets in the living room because they reek of both smoke and dog. The toilet could use a good scrub and throwing some drain-o down in the tub and the sink wouldn’t hurt either. The water down here has turned my once very manageable hair, to straw. This straw is now falling out and having a cap on the drain wouldn’t help anything at this point. Baby’s hair is also falling out because of the water so naturally the drain is going to fill up quite a bit more than one would like. An hour-long soak should dissolve everything, I just love when things work ‘like new’ again.

I started throwing together another template for blog ideas. I’m now up to three, which is about 30% of where I wanted to be. I figure I’d start off with 10 high-quality templates and then go from there. I’d absolutely love to get my templates to the same high status of Beccary but I highly doubt that will ever happen. I’m only coding templates for WordPress at the moment but I’ll also have basic copies available for blogger.com, movable type and maybe even Live Journal depending on how far I want to take it. I also have some ideas for Greymatter, even though I absolutely HATE the program with a passion. It causes so many server fuck-ups it’s unreal, then I get shit from clients because the script is banned – boo hoo, go cry to your mother about it. I’m not putting clients at risk because you don’t know how to work with a secure blog program, for crying out loud! [/end rant]

In any event, I’m going to get back to work on the template. I’m working with some fairly interesting color schemes and I’m lucky that I have a few older ones sitting on my computer that could be coded up, most of them are based on PSD’s but that doesn’t matter too much. I include the Fonts and PSD’s with almost every template I create, I know quite a few people with Adobe so this shouldn’t be a big issue.s

MmMm Coffee!

Wednesday, June 13th, 2007

I just jolted myself up with a fresh brewed cup of coffee. I feel a little bit more awake now than I did a little while ago. I may still wind up just going to sleep for a few hours. While I do feel awake, my eyes are still randomly crossing while I’m coding things. I’ve gotten a few templates done for blog-ideas.net, they’re mainly basic templates I hope to get into more complex ones later on down the road. I figure I’ll see how the site actually does first and then I’ll put a lot more work into it. For now I’ll have the basic sections and then I’ll move on from there.

Bella is really matted down and won’t let me get near her with a scissor, sometime over the course of the next few weeks I’m going to have her shaved down but I need to get birthday gifts taken care of first. I set myself on a $300 limit but who knows what I’m going to find for my father. I’m getting him a new monitor, more than likely I’m getting it from Microcenter, but I was also considering getting him a new computer as well. I just don’t want to sit around and teach him how to use Vista, helping him figure out how to use a computer PERIOD was no easy task and I’m only going to be in New York for a couple of days. There’s also the factor that my sister doesn’t have a printer on her computer and people are finding it close to impossible to network Vista to XP, if you happen to have been able to figure it out, let Microsoft know that it wasn’t as easy as they claim.

Considering my father only really uses his computer to check email, I’m more than likely just going with a 15″ monitor. I was thinking something along the lines of this one because I have the 17″ model and I’ve seen the 15″ in the store and the picture quality is equally gorgeous. My sister has the same model in her room and it’s working out rather nicely for her. I was considering getting him the 17″ but it’s no longer available through Microcenter. I found it online but it’s about $40 more than I paid for mine and for the same price I can get the 19″ Widescreen from Microcenter. That would just confuse the hell out of him, too much desktop so little time…heh. So he should be fine with the 15″.

Baby is looking to get new monitors, his have been blacking out on him and he’s not overly sure if it’s the monitor themselves or if it’s the adapters for his dual DVI slots, either way he needs new ones because it’s close to impossible to read anything on those monitors, no wonder his eyes are getting pretty bad. He just got notification of a $200 credit card payment as his new “minimum balance” on the $2500 card. That’s going to fuck up his plans but I’m sure with a little work he’ll be able to handle it.

Bella finally decided to eat something, I managed to get her to eat a little bit of the meatloaf I put down, I had to put some cheese on it to even get her interested in it. This is probably the downside to animals living in an Italian household. She won’t touch anything unless it’s got some kind of marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese on it..heh.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Lack of Inspiration

Wednesday, June 6th, 2007

I’ve been working hard on getting blog-ideas.net up and running. I’m currently in the process of coding the administration panel. I’ve got Sean programming the database end of things. He’s been programming quite a bit lately so naturally I’ll throw it his way. I’m rusty with it, I do little edits here and there but I don’t have the patience to sit down and actually code something from start to finish. He asked me why I need an administration panel considering the bulk of the code is randomly generated but I just think it’s easier to have one, honestly. I know it’s only random one liners but I like to keep track of everything. I’m also working in the ability for visitors to submit their own ideas and be credited for it. In some regard it’s almost like using a guestbook, it’s just going to be a little bit more advanced.

I didn’t get around to doing anything k.nu based today, as far as posting goes. I was just too busy working on other things. I finally got WordPress working for Dick so now his admin panel is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do. I was in touch with Shauna about some work with her, I’ll be working on that for the next few weeks. I have loads of ideas in my head and mixing them with what she gave me should turn into something nice.

I’m having trouble being creative though, this is why I feel like I’m lagging. Baby and I haven’t gone to the beach in quite some time. With the weather changing as frequently as it does and other factors being thrown in there, we can’t walk along the boardwalk the way we used to. And now with the fact that he managed to fuck up his knee somehow, we just can’t go anywhere – it sucks. Hopefully he’ll heal up so I can go listen to the water again, that’s the only place I truly got any kind of a creative streak. Granted, having a new desk/office arrangement has helped a bit, I just need an outside source as well. I’m going to thumb through a few of my design books, maybe I can find some color combination to inspire me.

Still working on getting things in order…

Tuesday, June 5th, 2007

I’ve gotten a lot done today. I woke up and went through my morning routine and then got the rest of my laundry done. The last load is in the dryer now so hopefully it’ll be done in time for me to get out of here later. I believe Kay and I are going up to Milford to pick up a few things from Big Lots then I’m almost certain we’re going to Wal-mart afterwards to get some shopping done as well.

She’s got company coming this weekend, Baby personally hates this woman but I don’t know her yet so I can’t really have an opinion yet. I’m sure by Saturday you’ll hear something out of me in regards to this woman, no doubt about it. She’s a smoker and with Princess being sick, Candy being rather old and Bella just never having to breath in smoke (I make sure of that) Baby and I are on Kay’s case to get her to smoke outside. Hopefully that actually works out.

I’m having some major issues with WordPress at the moment. I’m trying to get the Visual Text Editor to work for a client and no matter what I do the damn thing won’t show up. I’m waiting on a response so that I can upgrade to the newest version in hopes that it resolves the issue but something tells me that it more than likely won’t be the case, this is why I submitted a support ticket on wordpress.org in hopes to get some answers. There has to be something that I’m overlooking I just have no idea where to even begin.

I received an email today that I’m working on responding to. Someone contacted me about site work that could potentially fill my schedule for a while depending on how well it goes. I’m also working on other things so as far as income goes, I’m set for quite some time.

Finally Unpacked!

Monday, June 4th, 2007

It took me a lot longer than originally anticipated but I’ve finally gotten the last box unpacked. My side of the office is a little stuffy now though, I think I’m going to have to do some cleaning out but at least all of my important items are back to where they need to be, this naturally makes me a very happy girl.

I’m getting some design work done, thumbing through code figuring out what’s messed up for a client (and where) and I’m also waiting on a response from a few people in regards to more work so I should be OK financially for birthdays and what not. Baby and I have our one year coming up in July so I also need to get some cash together for that. The problem is a month later is also his birthday. Birthdays are very spread out for me, but they all come in a cluster for some reason. No big deal though, I made about $80 blogging yesterday (not bad, eh?) so that’ll cover dinner with Kay and for her birthday on the 9th. We’re most likely going to the Roadhouse, she appreciates good steak heh.

Chugging Along…

Sunday, June 3rd, 2007

I’ve gotten through about 100 emails, most of which were support emails that seemed to be backed up in the database, at least they’re taken care of though. I rested my eyes for a few minutes to go outside and take in the weather. It’s pouring right now but it’s got such a calming effect on me that it’s taking me out of my work mode and putting me into a “When is Bedtime?” state of mind. This is why I’m now inside instead of being out there. I know I have a lot to get done there just aren’t enough hours in the day it seems.

Baby and I have been very busy for the last week so I’m behind on everything from email to work. If I didn’t have the ability to type so quick I’d probably get absolutely no blogging done at all and that’s a lack of income so that certainly isn’t going to happen. Guess I should get back to work now.
