What happened to you?

Monday, April 16th, 2007

I’ve been working my butt off for the last 10 hours getting everything up and running for a client and he’s going out of his way to now avoid answering all emails from me. I’m sorry but if you’ve already gladly sent the down-payment (a lot quicker than most clients do) you’d think that they would actually have the decency to come through with the rest, considering I did everything in a timely manor.

He set a 7PM deadline, I completed everything by 6PM. It’s not like I’m asking for a tip or anything, I don’t even want to hear “Wow, nice working with someone who comes through with what they say”. I just want an email back telling me the quick corrections and that the payment is sitting in paypal for me. Is that so wrong? I mean seriously now.

I think it’s just one of those ‘I’m annoyed now’ kind of days, it seems to be heading that way.

Productivity is Me!

Sunday, April 15th, 2007

Minus the fact that I’ve been a little under the weather, it’s been a fairly productive weekend. Baby and I took a quick trip to Dover yesterday. We had to pick up a Vacuum from Best Buy and then wound up at the Dover Mall to do some quick shopping. Considering I’m basically saving every dime I can for my trip to Atlantic City in May, it was killing me not to do any shopping at Boscovs, Sears, Target and even Best Buy (even though that’s Baby’s department lol).

I’m done unpacking, it’s been a bitch getting everything situated but so-far, so good. There’s a little bit of an issue with my desktop though, I thought I could just plug in my old graphics card but I need a PCI-E card, which I don’t have. I did some surfing on TigerDirect and other sites, after pricing I figure I can get a decent card in the $100 range. I’ll worry about that later on down the road though. I can handle the current card for a while considering I still seem to use my laptop for everything anyway. It’s hard to convert back to a desktop when you’ve been using a laptop for so long. Having a ‘server’ type thing setup for file storage is nice though…heh.

I’m not yet done with my email checks, I know there’s a few multi-emails (some urgent) from the same people that I’ve yet to respond to but I hope to have that done tonight. I’ve been running around the house most of the day. I did some baking because the batter just happened to be there. I cleaned most of the kitchen, there’s still a bit to organize on the island but that’s mainly mail and I don’t really have to worry about it too much. Right now I’m taking a short break before I get around to finishing everything else around the house.

I know it’s a little early but I started on the May template. I figured there’s no way I’ll be able to trump this April theme so it’s my goal to play with CSS quite a bit more and come up with something interesting. I did some surfing around today through template sites and threw together some ideas. I’m sure I’ll come up with something. It’s hard to be creative when you’re so drained from things going on. Thank god I have a vacation coming up soon and the 15 hour days for the next month will be worth it.

It’s been a pretty nasty day. There’s a supposed “Nor-easter” hanging over Delmarva. I know there were some tornado watches in Virginia and upstate NY (poor guys) are looking at quite a bit of snow fall. So much for enjoying April, eh?

In any event, I guess I should go finish up what I started. I just sent Baby out to get some dinner so it’d be nice to eat on a clean dining table…right? heh.

Sleepy and way behind!

Thursday, April 5th, 2007

I’m feeling pretty unproductive today but that’s my own fault entirely. When I woke up this afternoon, all I really wanted to do is go back to bed. So…I did. I know there was a lot of work to get done but I put it on hold for the sake of catching up on much needed rest. That didn’t work out as planned though. I woke up around 6PM, starving – so I wound up having Baby bring me to the store to pick something up. Then I called home and let Dad know that I was going to be coming up on Saturday and leaving on Monday afternoon. He seemed OK with it but I’m almost positive that it’s a front.

Money is still coming in good, so I’m not too concerned about being able to handle things while I’m down here. I’ll be taking quite a few trips to Staples until the office is taken care of. I also know I’ll be doing quite a bit of shopping on BestBuy.com because I’d like to do a bit of updating as far as electronics go in the bedroom. Baby and I are interested in a larger TV as well as a Wii because he’s really interested in getting one.

I need furniture though, I was going to go through the company his mom works with. I’m sure she could get us some kind of an employee discount but I also know that the business has things on back-order from six months ago because they can’t afford to pay the vendors. Yea, her boss knows nothing about running a business. So the other alternatives would probably be either Overstock.com for the big things and maybe either Kmart or Target for everything else. I’m sure I’ll be able to find something, somewhere. As usual I’ll be using my trusty coupon site to be looking for the absolute best deals I can find.

I guess I should get my butt in gear and finish up some work, that’s the only way I’m going to be able to afford everything I need.

Shopping and Packing and Nerves…oh my!

Thursday, April 5th, 2007

We left here around 5:30 to head down to Georgetown and visit the oh-so-wonderful DMV. It actually went pretty quick, I think we were only there for about 20 minutes or so. That’s probably the shortest possible wait FOR a DMV. Every time I’ve gone to one in New York it’s taken at least 2 hours before you could even get to a teller, let alone leave.

After the trip we wound up at Wal-Mart getting some much-needed shopping done. I picked up some sandals because I’m getting sick of emptying sand out of my shoes when I go to the beach at night. I also loaded up on some more space bags. I should hopefully be set to go when I get up to New York as far as packing is concerned. Once I have my desktop I’m going to have to wipe out my hard drive on the laptop. I don’t really like the idea of having to do it but after a year of usage, plus almost killing it with disk-space usage before I got the external hard drive, there’s really no choice in the matter. I know for sure that I’m going to have to back up all of my fonts before I even consider wiping it out, thanks to font websites I’ve built up a database of over 3,000 fonts to keep my Photoshop looking spiffy. It would seriously suck to lose them all in the transfer.

Besides backing up fonts, I know that all programs (with no backup) and client files have to be moved to the external as well. A BIG move is Thunderbird because I honestly can’t afford to lose all my email. I’ve been working way too hard over the last few months in order to lose them. I just hope everything goes as planned.

I’m a tad-bit concerned about the reinstall though. The desktop was purchased without an operating system and since I paid for Windows with my laptop, I used the serial number from the laptop. Based on how I know Microsoft operates, I’m sure the serial number is now in their database as ‘used’ and I’ll have to make a phone call just to get it unlocked. I did pay for Windows either way, it shouldn’t be too much of a problem. It’s not like I’m handing the disk out to friends, you know?

Bella is currently digging into my leg for attention so I guess I better take care of that before I get back to work. I’m about 4 hours behind at the moment and need to make that up before I go to sleep. I’m really getting sick of running on 4 hours of sleep (at most) these days. I wish I could just crash for 8 hours like normal people and enjoy the time in my dream world. Maybe after things settle down once I get the rest of my things down here, I’ll be able to relax a little bit more.

Something to look forward to…right?

Just a busy day!

Wednesday, April 4th, 2007

I was finally able to fall asleep around 6:30 this morning. I literally stared at the ceiling for an hour after I crawled into bed. I was then woken up about 11:30 this morning by a very loud crack of thunder, a scared dog and a boyfriend wanting to let me know that there’s a storm outside (if I hadn’t already heard it).

Within two seconds of him opening the door I felt another dog hop up on the bed, Princess was scared and hiding in the office under my desk. Now she’s sleeping next to me and doesn’t seem to want to leave the room for anything. The storm’s been done for the last few hours, it’s about 3 so you can imagine how much fun it’s been.

I watched TV for a little while, it’s nice to just be able to relax in bed for a little bit before you start work. While flipping through channels I came across that movie “Good Burger” with Keenan & Kel, I haven’t seen it in years so I figured I’d just leave it on and go from there. It’s the typical Nickelodeon kind of movie but it was also kind of amusing considering I’d just woken up. Usually when dealing that kind of stupidity just as I get out of bed really bothers me but I assume today was an exception.

I got quite a bit of work done, I sent out a few emails and now I’m sitting here watching MPT because they have a block of shows dubbed “Afternoon Tea” it’s all English comedy that keeps me pretty entertained. I’m seriously a sucker for “Are you being served?” it’s probably one of my favorite shows at the moment. I know it’s been almost 30 years since the show went off the air but it’s worth it.

I’m home alone at the moment. Baby went out to run some errands, I need to take a shower because we’re going out around six to get some other things done. We need to drive down to Georgetown to go to the DMV and on the way home we’re going to head to the Super Wal-Mart and do some shopping. They have cheaper meat there considering Wal-Mart is part of Sam’s Club. Since we’ve been doing so much barbecuing lately there’s really no choice in the matter but to load up on things.

It’s now 3 days before we load into the car and head up to New York, I’m kind of nervous because I haven’t been home in a long time and the only reason for my going up there is to basically pack up the rest of my things and say goodbye to everything I’ve ever known. It’s not like I’m never going back to NY, that’s not the issue. I’ll be back up in June for Dad’s birthday, November & December for holidays and maybe just random trips up to visit. I told Dad that if he was going to Atlantic City or something to let me know. I’m only about a half hour away from it so it’s not like it would be hard to get there for a visit.

I have a lot of shit to do up in NY though, it’s literally going to take me the whole weekend. I have to go through twenty-two years worth of things and compact it down to just a few boxes and space bags. I don’t want to leave things up there that I use regularly so those will be easy to pick out. I know I have to do a lot of junk-clean outs though. I admit to being a pack rat when it comes to sentimental value but I know that I can handle working that out. But once everything is loaded into the van I have to stop at WAMU and close my bank account because there isn’t one down here, then I have to head to the post office and forward all of my mail. Once I get back down here I’ll probably go to either PNC or even Wilmington Trust and open a bank account. Both banks are not even two minutes away from where I am so I’m not too concerned about location, that’s really the only reason I went with WAMU in the first place – it was a hop, skip and a jump away from my house.

I need to finish making my ‘packing’ list and then get myself in the shower, guess it’s time to head off now.

Lucky Streak

Monday, April 2nd, 2007

I don’t know how I’ve managed to do it, or even why I’m deserving of it but – I’ve had the absolute BEST lucky streak in the world for the past few days. It’s a lot of little things here and there, and then a HUGE thing that has me jumping for joy.

Baby and I are going really well with no fights, my father has completely been able to handle the news of my moving here permanently, I’m going up on Saturday to get the rest of my things. Clients are coming in REALLY strongly right now and I’ve got a huge lump of money coming towards me over the course of the next few months based on repeat clients a lone but this has nothing to do with the BIG NEWS…no no no.

I’ve landed a client that in my business world is considered a “high roller”. The account will total approximately $30,000 over the course of the next six months and I can honestly say I’m close to peeing in my pants because of all of the excitement. This is just one client, I know there are people out there who make far more than that for a year of work but I’m doing it in less than six months with ONE person working PART TIME. If I can keep pulling in clients like this I can go out and get a gorgeous exotic cars for sale and be flashy about it. I wouldn’t do that though, contrary to popular belief I try to draw the least amount of attention to myself as possible. This doesn’t mean I would turn down a Bentley Continental GTC. God that’s a gorgeous car.

In any event, time to get back to work. I’m sure I’ll blog again…it’s a gorgeous day outside and there are lots of dumb people around to entertain me…and then you when I post again…heh

Busy….busy.

Sunday, April 1st, 2007

I’m not sure how I managed to do it but every single bid I’ve put in on GAF has been chosen. There’s someone up there (points) that is looking out for me. I want to believe it’s Joe but I’m sure it could be my grandmother as well. Over the course of the last 5 days I’ve managed to make about $1300.00 which I can honestly say is the best feeling in the world. I know for sure that if I keep this up I’ll not only have more than enough money for Atlantic City but enough to buy a new bed and even a dresser for when I get all of my things down here.

I have a lot of things to pack when I go up to NY this weekend. There’s 22-years worth of memories and items that need to be sorted through, thrown out and packed up. It’s going to be rather difficult considering I only have about 2 days (tops) in order to do it. Once I get back here there’s a pile of work to go through, plus a crap load of boxes to sort through. I think the only thing I won’t be doing over the course of the next couple weeks is going out and looking for a Naples cosmetic surgeon. Not that I couldn’t use it, face is drooping a bit but hopefully this diet is going to clear that problem up for me.

Yes, I’m on a diet. I know you hear fat girls say it all the time but I really have no choice in the matter. My clothes bother me, I could probably pack better if they weren’t so bulky. My back is out of whack, my ankles and knees are weak from supporting the weight all of my life and just recently I’ve developed a problem with my hip. I could easily go to a doctor and request to be fixed but all he would tell me is lose some weight and things will be easier on me. So instead of spending money to hear a doctor turn me down, I’m taking matters into my own hands and fixing things. I’m doing OK now but once everything settles down I’ll be going on Michael Thurmond’s – Six Week Body. I’ve been looking into this program for over a year and I’m finally getting the courage to go ahead and start it. It was a very difficult year for me, losing Joe and what not, so I think it’s time to live a little instead of playing it as safe as I’ve been based on comfort levels. I have an excellent form of support with my boyfriend, he’s going to do it with me.

We’ve been taking longer walks on the beach, longer walks with Bella at night, eating better, not loading up on pure junk food and just taking it easy for the most part. There’s a lot more that we could be doing but time constraints are limiting us at the moment. When our financial life slows down a bit, we’ll be able to go full force into something. Every little bit counts though…right?

I know there should be a new template here but unfortunately I wasn’t able to finish editing it. I hope to have it up later after I’ve gotten some work done.

Shoot Me!

Thursday, March 29th, 2007

I’m still working my butt off to get this client finished up. I don’t know why it’s taking me so long to configure a blog template, I know these things like the back of my hand. I think I’m just having trouble concentrating…obviously considering I’m posting.

I guess I’m just nervous, I don’t know. Baby and I are taking a small weekend trip in May and I honestly have no idea if I’ll even be able to afford to go. Any and all money that I make from this point on will basically be thrown into my savings account and will remain untouched unless I absolutely have to use it. It’s my goal to save up about $1,200. So far I guess I’m doing okay considering there are domain payments and other things coming in. The problem is I’m unsure if I’ll actually MAKE it to where I need to be. I could sit here and push AGn Solutions, but that really wouldn’t matter unless people were buying up the Professional Yearly plan. I could also sit here and push AGn Designs but I don’t know anyone looking for a blog template at the moment other than the ones I’m bidding on (and losing). It’s really freaking annoying.

The strange thing is…Baby told me that I was like this at the same time last year. I don’t know what it is about April but I always seem to be running out of money by the end of March. I don’t really do anything different than the rest of the year so why the hell is March such a bitch for me? I can’t blame it on Joe because I had the problem the year before he passed away so it has nothing to do with shitty luck…I just don’t get it.

You’ll notice A LOT more paid posts on my site. It’s my goal to do at least 3 a day so I can bring in some solid money for a while. I’m not asking you to buy anything from me, contrary to a very childish comment left by someone yesterday. I’m pushing advertising for other sites, if you don’t like it – don’t read it…simple as that. Go bother someone else or get offline, it’s warm out – can’t hurt to get some sun.

In any event, I’m going to get back to work and then head to bed. It’s getting pretty late and I think the boyfriend is finally ready to come out of his office and spend some time with me before I knock out for the night.

Later all.

Baths, Work, Internet…OH MY!

Thursday, March 29th, 2007

I’ve been pretty busy today. I landed a client on GAF so that was a bit of quick money, I’m still working on it at the moment. I had to stop for a little while because Bella really needed a bath, badly. It’s been a couple of weeks and since the weather is changing so frequently and going from rain to sun so quickly, she started to get a bit musty. A quick drop in the tub, scrub-a-dub-dub and now she’s baby powder fresh!

I spent the entire day in the house, minus some time spend on the porch to enjoy the sunlight. Baby and I are taking a big trip soon so we’re trying to conserve money any and every way that we can. This means we’re no longer going to be going out as frequently as we’ve been in the last few weeks. I’m sure we’ll randomly take our trips to the beach considering how beautiful it is at night but time away from work is less money to be made so hopefully things will even themselves out. We each need to save up about $1,000 so hopefully I’ll be able to do it over the course of the next month. This is probably why I should get my ass in gear with this clients account so I can move on to the next one.

The internet has been kind of touch and go today though. I’m not really sure why it’s happening, kind of annoying actually. For the last couple of years I’ve been used to having my broadband supplied by Optimum Online, the best in the world…honestly. Living in Delmarva my broadband is now being supplied by Comcast and I have to tell you, I’m not digging it at all. They don’t really offer anything good as far as up-link is concerned. If baby is uploading something it dramatically slows down the Internet and since it’s a VOIP phone connection, the service cuts out whenever you’re on the phone and something is being uploaded, maybe even downloaded for that matter. I swear once things are settled I’m switching over to Verizon as my broadband provider.

Full Speed Ahead

Monday, February 5th, 2007

I probably should have posted on the 1st when the template went up but I honestly just wasn’t in the mood. It’s been a pretty busy couple of weeks. The boyfriend and I painted the kitchen as well as his bathroom, eventually we’ll be working on his moms bathroom as well. We’re currently talking about my officially moving in with him so I’m sure I’ll have an update on that sometime in the near future. It requires me to move away from everything I’ve ever known and that’s a big step for me but I also know that I’m moving to a place where I feel the most comfortable. Although I will always be a New Yorker at heart, Long Island just isn’t the place for me to be anymore.

Over the course of the next couple of days I’m going to be working on getting some clients knocked out, as well as picking some of them up. I figure I need around $1,000 in order to move so I’m going to have to get my ass in gear on things. I’ll be getting a job down here after I’ve gotten some of my things here. I figure the only important items to come with me are my TV, computer, Bella and my clothes. The rest are things that I truly don’t need so I’ll be home for a few weeks doing some cleaning out. It’s my goal to pack three boxes (total). If I load up on space bags I’m sure that will be completely possible.

Love
I believe for Valentines Day the boyfriend and I are going to be in Ocean City, MD. There isn’t much to do down there in the winter but we also know exactly how to go about having heaps of fun without spending a lot of money. We’ll most likely be going to an arcade, then dinner, and then probably a walk on the beach because the way the bay and the ocean meet up is nothing short of gorgeous in the moon light.

Pain
My abscess has come back. I wasn’t expecting this to happen considering I’ve had a root canal done on the tooth but I guess I can’t win ’em all. I do have antibiotics and pain killers so I’ll hopefully be able to fix this without a hospital visit this time. My back has really been acting up pretty bad lately, I’m convinced that the bed I’ve been sleeping on is out to kill me. I just think all of my nerves are out of wack because of the abscess. Someone told me that your mouth acting up can effect like every part of your body. Considering an abscess is a clear-cut sign of an infection, I think I’ve got that floating around. I’m also on my period so I’m feeling like crap on all ends of me, it sucks.

Work
I’m going to have to update my portfolio again (image wise) because I really need to get my recent work in there. The screen shots listed on acidgloss.net now are so out-of-date it’s unreal. Maybe if I update those I’ll have some more clients coming in. I need to get some money together for advertising too, I used to just depend on word-of-mouth but at this point that just isn’t enough anymore. If things don’t pick up I’ll cut back my hours and then pick up on a full-time job out of the house and just leave the internet stuff to part-time. It would make life a little easier, honestly. I get nice sized paychecks here and there for design work, don’t get me wrong. But I’m doing small $500 template work here and there. I’d rather just be making $500 a week. I’ve got to surf around monster.com and see if there are any secretarial jobs around here. There’s so many real estate companies here I’m sure there’s someone hiring somewhere, you know?

Lights Out!
In any event, it’s a little after 6am and I’m exhausted. The penicillin is kicking in and making me very, very sleepy. The hydrocodone doesn’t help much either…heh.

PS:
Arwen – I did get your email, I’ll respond to you as soon as I can. I promise.

So far…so good

Wednesday, January 3rd, 2007

We’re currently three days into the New Year and I’ve been more productive than I thought I would be. I’m balancing four fairly large accounts right now, I’m hopelessly in love, I ordered myself a new computer, I bought a new 30GB video iPod, I have a new pet named Frankie (Blue/Green Beta Fish), and I just installed a new WordPress Plugin for my Administration Panel named “Spotmilk” that’s pretty awesome looking.

Life is going pretty good right now. Things on the relationship front are better than ever. We’re working on moving in together but haven’t quite decided where we’d like to be, location wise. I know once we’re both financially sound it’ll be easier to figure things out, that’ll happen soon enough. I’m working on a small business grant so I can go further with AGn Solutions, and get myself enrolled in school. It’ll be easier to decide where I’m going to live once school is factored in.

It’s been a fairly busy couple of weeks for me, as you can see.

Christmas was pretty fruitful. Dad bought me a new TV because the one I had was about 13 years-old and the people were randomly turning funky shades of green. He got me a 20″ LCD which is very, very nice. The only problem is the cable line to my room is shitty and since it’s an HDTV the quality of the channels is pretty funky looking. The boyfriend, however, bought me a DVD player and I’ve watched a few movies on it and the quality is GORGEOUS so I’m very happy.

I’m going away around the 15th with the boyfriend. I’m bringing Bella with me so who knows how long I’ll be away for. The only reason I come home from these vacations is because I miss her so much. My father is going to Atlantic City at the end of the month so I do believe I’ll be coming home before then. Who knows.

In any event, it’s getting late and I still have a few hours of work to put into a few accounts before I go to bed so I’ll sign off now.

Night all 🙂

Home but leaving soon…

Wednesday, December 13th, 2006

After a few wonderful weeks spent exclusively with the boyfriend, I’m finally home. This doesn’t mean I’ll be around for long though. I’m leaving again on Thursday because my aunt has invited me to spend three days with her in Atlantic City. I don’t have much money saved up to bring with me but I also have no real intent of doing much damage there anyway.

It was my goal to have maybe $600 to come down with me, this way I can do $200 a day on my usual slot machines and then go from there. I’m only going to have about $350 with me, so I’ll have to break it down to around $115 a day, this isn’t too bad though. I’m sure I’ll be doing more wondering around than gambling.

Based on family history in Atlantic City, all the money is usually won on the last night just before they’re going to get their stuff together to head home. I figure if I can save up the bulk of the money to play exclusively on the last night – maybe I’ll come home with something.

I could bring more money down with me but it would be absurd to take out of my savings account just so I can gamble it away. There are still Christmas gifts to buy – you know?

I did a bit of shopping tonight with my sister, she dragged me out of the house around 7:30 screaming that Dad’s gifts needed to be purchased way in advance. We went to Wal-mart, dropped a quick $120 and the rest is history. We got him quite a bit though, there’s still some things that I’d like to pick up for him…I guess I’ll see what happens after Saturday.

I’m waiting on an email from a client so I can finally be done with their account. I also have two more that I’m waiting on a payment from so hopefully those will be coming in soon. I spent the last 3 days working on accounts. My only issue is a few paid through Escrow with a site I’m involved with so I won’t actually see that money until like…the day before Christmas at the rate of cash-out times with this stupid site. Not a big deal though, it’ll be here soon enough.

When I get home on Sunday I’m going to finally get my ass in gear and finish the new templates for AGn Solutions and AGn Designs because I’ve waited just too damn long to get those up. I have about 300 template screenshots to add to AGn Designs so it’s about time I get my ass in gear on them. I want to be able to have everything launched by January 1st to bring in the new year.

And speaking of New Year’s…I’ll be spending it with the boyfriend and his family. His aunt is having a party and since both her and his mom seem to love me, I get to go. Nifty – eh? I’m sure it’ll be fun, it’s nice spending holiday’s with the one’s you love…that’s all that matters.

On a side note, I was having a conversation with a friend of mine tonight and I have to say I’m a bit annoyed with her husband right now. For their five year wedding anniversary he went ‘out of his way’ to buy her one of those Kay Jewelers 10k white diamond Journey necklaces (the ones they’re advertising on television right now). He got her the one with 7 diamonds to match every year that they’ve been together. This in itself is very sweet, I’ve seen the necklace and think it’s gorgeous – this is coming from someone who’s not overly a fan of necklaces (minus the one the boyfriend gave me for my birthday of course). But anyway…long story short. He goes on to tell her that his gift broke the bank, when the necklace itself is only $99 to begin with. But he claims that he got the one that’s over $1,000 blah, blah, blah.

She’s looking at the Kay Jewelers website and notices that the necklace isn’t the same. She keeps her mouth shut though because the $1,000 he spent showed up on the credit card bill so it’s not like he completely lied about it. She did notice, however, that this $1,000 charge came from K-mart, not Kay Jewelers. She goes into K-mart and heads over to the Jewelry counter, she instantly finds the necklace. it?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s a whopping $9.99 – yes, nine dollars and ninety-nine cents. She asks herself “Why would he lie?” so she finds the receipt after she gets home and it turns out the bank was broken because he bought himself a plasma screen that he was hiding in his office from her behind a curtain.

All of this is brought to his attention, with the evidence respectively, and he feels as though it was a complete invasion of his privacy to go behind his back and find the information that he was clearly lying about.

My question to you is: Do you think she was wrong for bringing it to his attention, or do you think he was right for being extremely angry with her for doing so?

He completely 100% lied to her about the price of the item, not to mention the store it was purchased at. He bought himself a new TV in the process when they can’t financially afford it considering she’s 7 months pregnant (yea…sorry I think I forgot to mention that previously). If I were in her shoes I’d use the little strength I had left at the end of a pregnant day and kick him in the face.

This of course…is my answer for everything.

What would you do in this situation?

Thanksgiving comes late…

Tuesday, December 5th, 2006

I’m completely exhausted and that’s rare for me considering it’s only around 1:00am. It was a pretty busy day for me though. I woke up, had my cig and then basically I’ve been in the kitchen all day long.

I’m at the boyfriends house and considering I didn’t have much of a Thanksgiving dinner, I basically had one here with him and his mom. I was up early enough to bake a cake and some cookies to get dessert out of the way. The rest of the day was basically all about the fixings. I forgot to take the Turkey out last night so due to extra defrost time dinner wasn’t until around 7:30 which I guess was ok considering everyone seemed happy with what they got.

The boyfriend loaded himself up on turnips and mashed potatoes because he’s a picky eater when it comes to lumpy potatoes. I had to insure they were the right lump-ness or I’m sure he wouldn’t have eaten them heh. His mom seemed happy with dinner, “very full” as she put it, even the dogs got themselves some turkey and knocked out soon after. With everything in my system now I’m pretty beat, so I guess I’ll be going to bed sooner than planned tonight.

My tooth is slowly getting better. The meds really did help me out quite a bit so I?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢m hoping to get myself to a dentist real soon to get this tooth removed and another one fixed so that I can chew again. This is my reason for waiting, very patiently, to hear back from a few people about account work. I need to come up with about $500 by next week or I’ve in no way reached the goal I needed to. I get emails all the time from people looking for work and then they never respond, it really is starting to get a little annoying. I’m going to run some follow-up emails though, maybe something will come from there. I think I’ll do that before I go to sleep.

Actually…at the rate of my eyes closing…I think I’m going to do that now.

Any out-sourcers with an overload, just kick ’em my way…please? 🙂

Night all.

I’m also bidding on quite a few projects on GAF and asking around to friends and family to put my name out there for some work. This is my way of putting it out here. I know I’m going on vacation next week but at this point that’s irrelevant considering I’d spend maybe $50 a most while I’m away because I have no intent of really spending a lot of time out of the house.

Mohegan Sun Here I Come!

Saturday, October 28th, 2006

It’s been a pretty busy weekend. I’m going through boyfriend withdrawal after spending over a week and a half with him, but I’ll see him soon. I got quite a bit of work done but I’m still behind on emails right now, so for those of you whom have been emailing me up the wazoo with questions and what not, please do not take offense. I’ve just gotten the agn-solutions based emails under control. I’ll slowly get through my Gmail account as the night dies down. I can’t promise anything though.

I spent quite a bit of time today downloading albums. Yay for .iso! I got myself about 12 albums (total) by 4 different bands so I guess the car ride tomorrow won’t be a total snooze fest. It’s hard rebuilding my iPod to what it once was but I guess it’ll happen at some point. I used to have around 18 gigs, and then I formatted it because of some funky error showing up and since iTunes doesn’t allow you to download the songs I had to lose everything. I tried iPod Ripper but it didn’t work the way it was supposed to. Now I’m 3GB into the 18GB I used to have. I guess that counts for something…right?

In other news, my aunt is coming with dad and I to Mohegan tomorrow so it’ll be a fun family casino day. I have some money saved up for it thanks to birthday cards and whatever was in my bank account that’s perishable funds. I should have more than enough to keep me happy. I figure if I can double my money I’m pretty good. I’m going up with $200 so if I come home with $400 I’ll consider it to be a very good day. We’re leaving around 10am and I’m making it a point to be knocked out by midnight tonight so I can wake up early enough to shower, walk the dog, and chug a pot of coffee so I can stay awake all day for the ever-so-fun slot machines. I’m not a table person so I’ll be in one of the ‘louder’ sections of the casino. We’ll see what happens.

I was going to take a shower tonight to do my hair but considering my hair is still wet from this afternoon’s shower I’ll just blow it out and then run a brush through it tomorrow. Or by the time I’m done writing up this post I’ll have said “Fuck It” and just take one tomorrow and do my usual messy pony tail thinger. Yea…thinger…is like my word of the week. The boyfriend’s word of the week was Blasphemy and he connected it to like…everything. It’s hot when he uses $2 words…yep…I said it.

So I’m sitting in the kitchen and from the top of my monitor I notice the chair in the living room is moving quite a bit. Knowing that Maureen is asleep (she goes to work at midnight) I figure “Okay…we’re haunted” until I see a fluffy tail shaking around. Bella is staring right at me through the hole on the arm of the chair and is now back to hopping up and down off the chair. Everyone loves a fluffy pest…don’t they?

In any event, I’m going to get to that email and then get myself ready for bed.

Bite me.

Sunday, September 3rd, 2006

I don’t really have much going on to make this a ‘worth while’ update. I can say this though… I was paid by PayPerPost.com. For those of you who tried to convince me that the company was a scam, you can kindly bend over and eat shit.

My past week has consisted of playing ‘mommy’, trying to balance 10 accounts (and failing), cleaning the house, taking extra care of Bella because she hasn’t been feeling well, stopping a potential ‘smack down’, meeting a friends new boyfriend and then just a whole series of shit that basically ads up to nothing; to be blunt of course.

“Ernesto” hit late last night and all day today. I have to say that I’m extremely disappointed. Everyone for the last few days has been up in arms about a severe storm hitting us, blah, blah, blah, meanwhile it was just some wind and hardly enough rain to really do any damage what so ever. My rating for this supposed ‘big storm’ on a scale of 1-5 would have to be a -2; yep it sucked that much.

It’s about 1am, I’m ass deep in emails so I guess it’s time to get going. I’ll return all comments when I get the chance, it’s not that I’m ‘too busy’ to do it. I’m just honestly not in the mood to read other blogs at the moment, don’t take it personal – I just don’t have the drive for it.

Night all.
