Fast Forward

by dee on October 12, 2005

It seems as though my brain is on fast forward today. There are so many things I want to write about, but I can’t seem to linger on any of them long enough to get a coherent thought out. Plus, my typing skills have been hideous lately for some reason. I keep having to backtrack and fix about every other word. Could it be the lack of sleep? Possibly. Since none of this really makes sense together, I’m going to attempt making a list.

  • The in-laws left this morning. I enjoyed their visit, but this means that I finally have my house and my baby boy back to myself. I still have to share Zach with hubby, but that’s ok because he helped make him. They also left at least 3 meals worth of food in the fridge so I don’t have to cook dinner again until the weekend.
  • I finally gave in and gave myself a haircut. I’m so tired of paying for a haircut and not getting what I want. I still don’t have exactly what I want, cause it’s damn hard to cut your own hair. But it will do for now…and it was free.
  • I’ve really, really, really got the design bug going on right now. I swung by Miss Zoot’s site today and it made it even worse. I still have a church website to build, plus a new blog template for Alicia but it is really hard to find the extra time to get my head in it. I also discovered last night that my “Pimp My Blog” site is broken and I can’t find my backups. Hopefully I will find them soon and be able to get it up and running again. Along with that discovery came the finding that my email hasn’t been downloading correctly and I had emails going back to June. I left several people hanging which I hate to do.
  • Since I have moved away from tblog I have started discovering so many new blogs that I want to read. I am so hooked on them. I think I add at least one new bookmark every day which is starting to become a problem because it takes me a really long time to get through them all. I think I need to get myself set up with an rss reader so I don’t have to go to each site everyday to see what’s new.
  • I’m really disturbed with all of the natural disasters going on in our world here lately. All of the hurricanes, earthquakes, and flooding have me rather distracted. I keep wondering what’s next and how long will the earth last with all of the destruction going on. Then I have to wonder what it will be like when my children are my age or older. What will life be like for them if this continues? I’m thankful that I live in the midwest, but I hurt for all of the people losing their homes, jobs, and entire lives to these disasters. I wish there was more I could do to help.

I suppose that’s about it for now. My brain is tired.

No More Ass Crack!

by dee on October 11, 2005

Anyone else tired of the ass crack everywhere? Personally, I like the low waist jeans, but I think it has gotten a little out of control. I’m glad to see that it finally looks like women will have more of a choice.

Blast From the Past

by dee on October 10, 2005

This morning when I checked my e-mail I had a message from someone at Classmates.com. So, I click on the link to go to the website and get this nice little message that I have to sign up for their gold service to get the message. Ugh! Of course they want to make some money so I can get an e-mail from an old friend. Because it was from someone who used to be a very good friend, I gave in and signed up for a 3-month membership (the cheapest possible).

The girl I got the email from was a really good friend of mine for several years during the early high school days. She was contacting me because she thought I might be interested in getting information about the 10-year reunion. Heck yeah I’m interested! I only attended school there during my 8th, 9th, and 10th grade years, but all of the fond memories I have from high school are from that school and the people there. When I left there things kinda went downhill for me.

I immediately e-mailed her back and I can’t wait to hear from her again so we can catch up a bit. It was just enough to add a little sunshine to my otherwise dreary day.

Not so bad…

by dee on October 10, 2005

So the in-laws aren’t so bad. I have really missed getting to hold Zach while they are here, but I was actually able to get a lot of stuff done because they were holding him so much. He got really fussy lastnight so I stole him back and got some good mommy snuggling time in.

We finally got some really good professional portraits done of Zach on Saturday. I really liked the way they came out. We had them done at Portrait Innovations. Everything is digital. They print your pictures out there and you get to take them home in about 20 minutes. I’m definitely going back there again. I was very impressed.

Otherwise, we had a pretty uneventful weekend. I finally got a little bit of sleep which was very nice.

Two more days of the in-laws visiting and then life can return to normal again.
