I’ve spent some time today working on my June theme. Everything template wise is completed, I just have to work in all of the content pages because with all of the alterations I’ve made to the template over the last few months, just to run a theme here it requires about 30 template pages. Yes, I know that’s crazy but oh well.

I’m still not feeling very well but I know for sure that it’s my own fault. Last night I had a little too much to drink (it was a holiday after all) and wound up crashing around 9, waking up around 12 to then fall back to sleep. I think I got about 15 hours in total since last night and while it’s great to catch up on sleep it’s really strange waking up so late in the afternoon and still being exhausted.

The power keeps dipping and I honestly have no idea why. Hopefully the power isn’t going to go out but there’s some wind outside and Baby told me that the power down here goes out pretty frequently. Something tells me that once our rooms are moved around we’re going to be working off battery backups on the surge protectors. He’s close to ordering Kay’s gift, once the money transfers out of Paypal at least. I’m sure it’s already in his bank account at the moment but I think he’s busy Beta testing at the moment so who knows what’s happening. He’s got until the 5th, at the latest, to order for her considering you have to factor in shipping and her birthday is on the 12th. :crosses fingers:

I also need to get some money together for her gift, I know exactly what she wants so it won’t be hard to shop for her. I know I’ve got some payments coming through so I’m not concerned. There’s also a few hundred in my account set aside for birthdays anyway.

It’s pretty warm outside at the moment. It’s pushing about 90°F and it’s fixing to be one of the hotter days of the year so far, at least by my standards. Considering it’s memorial day, I was kind of expecting there to be more activity going on in the complex. I think since yesterday was a gorgeous Sunday and people typically work on Monday’s that may have played a roll in it. Either way tonight I’d like to barbecue again so I think I’m going to have to sweet talk Baby a bit. Last night he wound up cooking all of the burgers and since he wanted to go out and get more Mai Tai mix anyway – I figure a run to the store wouldn’t be that bad of an idea anyway.

Part of me thinks that it was a mistake having my email being linked from both computers. Yes, as far as keeping track of everything is concerned it’s nice to have it linked off the external hard drive but there’s such a lag going on with the network that it’s making it very difficult for me.

At first I thought it was my spy ware program because it scans the email as its downloaded but I disabled it and there’s still a pretty nasty lag. I’m unsure of what to do at this point other than stopping the transfer and only having email on one of my computers. I don’t personally like that idea considering I’d rather not have two PC’s on at once but I don’t know if I’m going to have a choice in the near future if this keeps up. Maybe things will be different when we get the rooms rearranged. There’s a chance that I’ll be back in the office a bit more once things aren’t so cramped. I need to get myself a desk and a new chair. I found a really nice desk in Big Lots for about $120. There was enough room on the top shelf for 3 monitors, a pull out drawer underneath for the keyboard/mouse and a shelf on the side for the tower so I don’t have to worry about it being on the floor anymore. Static electricity is pretty bad for computers and at the rate of static build up in this house, it’ll be a safer way to do things.

After things slow down with birthdays, I guess we’ll start working on things. Baby has assured me that once he buys Kay’s birthday gift the rooms will be moved around. That’s the only reason he’s been working as hard as he’s been. The problem at the moment, however, is I think he’s playing Halo. I’m not sure but I’m almost positive that he’ll come out here sometime in the near future and tell me exactly what he’s doing considering he checks my site every day – heh.

[update – yep, he was lol]

It’s been a pretty good day. Baby and I headed out to Walmart, as planned, and wound up stopping at the liquor store before they closed. We picked up some MaiTai mix, mango rum, wine and beer. Crossing the street we got everything we needed from Wal-mart as well. We needed a gas lever for the propane tank on the barbecue and my original goal for getting there was picking up some canned chicken for Bella but there’s still nothing on the shelves which ticked me off. I did get some more 100 calorie packs because I’m in love with those things.

The childish side of us, however, kind of went a little nutty. We picked up a huge pink bouncy ball because it was only $2.50 and I’m a sucker for new toys. We also picked up a couple $1.00 water pistols and after dinner we kind of attacked each other with them, it was a lot of fun though so at least we know that we don’t have to spend much to have fun.

Tomorrow is officially Memorial Day which you wouldn’t know considering all of the barbecue’s and parties going on in the complex. Part of me wishes I had a picnic table in the back yard so that we could be outside as well but that’s alright. Baby and I are happy on the porch with our drinks.

Maybe we’ll wind up going back out there later after the two of us get some work done.

I didn’t get to sleep until after 5am but due to a ringing phone early this morning I woke up about 10am. I’m not sure who called but considering the number was listed as “Blocked Call” all I can really say that it’s either a very rude telemarketer or a bill collector. Either way I believe calling anyone before noon on a Sunday, unless they’re expecting to hear from you – is extremely RUDE. I don’t like to listen to ringing phones either way but I think on a weekend it’s even worse considering Sunday is typically someone’s day off from work, the last thing they need is to hear a phone ringing at 9am on the only day they have to sleep in and catch up on the hours lost during the week getting up for work.

Baby is still asleep but it’s not rare for him to sleep past noon when he goes to bed late in the morning. We’re supposed to head to Wal-mart today to pick up a gas lever because we’re unsure of how much is left in the tank on the barbecue and the last thing we need is for it to burn out while we’re cooking dinner tonight. Hopefully they’ll actually be one there, but considering the tank is getting kind of light, something tells me we’re going to have to fill it up anyway. I’ll let him sleep for a little while longer but if he’s not up by 2, I’ll have to go pounce on him.
