oh, and...

whoeversaid "Life is a bowl of cherries" was weird. I mean who says a bowl of cherries is so great? What about life is a bagel & cream cheese...or maybe life is a big steamin pile of horse sh**. That could be true too. So why has everyone gotten so attached to this cherry thing? Why??

You know, I bought a new candle yesterday... I LOVE candles. (Plumeria my fav) anyhow, I just looked at it, & lo & behold. There's a half melted rubber band & ripped up paper in it. Funny thing is...it doesn't surprise me in the least & I know exactly who did it. (Bobby). Hmm... isn't my life interesting? MY life is Like a bowl of.... mixed nuts!

BSDY

I have NO idea what goes on in the mind of Miranda.... but when she gets upset she says "No Mom! B-s-d-y." The letters. I don't know what that means...she doesn't even know what she means. She just asked me what that spells. I said "nothing"...kids weird.

Depression sets in

Have you ever noticed when something goes terribly wrong you just want to sleep...or is that just me? I want to go lay down...but I won't. That's just giving in. I have to clean the house...not sleep my life away. Stay awake. That's the goal for today. What went wrong you ask? I don't wanna talk about it. :'( But it really sucks. Sucks I say.

Rugruts in Colorado

You know...my daughter, Miranda has been talking like one one the Rugrats all morning. I'm sure she doesn't even realize it... first she looked in a little book her brother had given her & said "Look Mom! A cross-eyed puzzle!" Then as we are waiting & waiting for construction, she said "I hate instruction". Yeah, me too...

My kids hate veggies!

ok, so I need my kidlets to start eating veggies, & Bob... but I think I need to look for some veggies for kids recipes. Like ants on a log, & maybe broccoli in mac & cheese. man would that piss them off! Hey! Who put htis green stuff in here?! Ok, so this one site says "Slice a carambola for boxed lunches. Your child will be a "star." yeah, ok, but what's a carambola??!

Ok...is it just me or does sound absolutely disgusting...? Stir together 2 tablespoons crunchy peanut butter, 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium tamari or soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon orange juice or apple juice; set aside. Simmer 4 cups fresh broccoli florets in 3 cups water for 3 minutes. Drain broccoli, and toss with sauce. ok, Eewwww!

Oy Vey!

You know... I am so sick of being broke!!! I was wondering yesterday if I'm the only person in the world to cringe everytime I see a utility truck. Like the gas, electric... you know? Agghhh! It really sucks.

I think my neighbors think I'm a vampire now or something. I work at night & stay in the house most of the day. I'm just not one of those outdoorsy type people. If I had a laptop maybe... but I'm one of those pasty white computer geeks I guess.

More Jack Handy

Ok so I found a new Jack Handy dealie that I like... I think I have an odd sense of humor to be so amused by these. Note to self....after looking at the new log, this one is WAY too pastel & rainbow brite! What was I thinking...? I mean I like purple...but I didn't have to drown in it. Yikes.

The next time I have meat and mashed potatoes, I think I'll put a very large blob of potatoes on my plate with just a little piece of meat. And if someone asks me why I didn't get more meat, I'll just say, "Oh, you mean this?" and pull out a big piece of meat from inside the blob of potatoes, where I've hidden it. Good magic trick, huh? - Jack Handy

Funny I was going to put "JH" but those are MY initials too!!! :D

Woohoo!

Ok, so the new Movable Type Testlog is up thanks to Scott! I was having a total flakeoid week...I guess. Then it took me forever to get around to making the graphics. I finally did it last night & threw some cheesy flash thingy up too... I really think that it needs to be redone. Any ideas...? I like the eye... it's justthe rest that's pukey.

Also, I'm as of today working nights. Which is really cool, because now I can spend the days with Miranda! :) I am SO glad... I can deal with having to go to work at 6 a lot more easily than supposed to be there at 8 & never getting there until 8:45ish. Not that my boss cares, because he's so cool that way.

True Story!

You will NOT believe this, but it's a true story! Jewels and I finally got MT setup and running. So she logs in, creates herself as a new user, deletes the default user, and logs in with her new username. BUT, she can't do ANYTHING. Well, I told her that that's what happens when you create a user with NO permissions! LOL!

give up

Ok, I'm giving up for the night. MT has decided the sever my site is on doesn't have HTML templates installed... which is queer because Scotts is on the same server... go figure. It hates me.

I get Got an error: Can't locate HTML/Template.pm in @INC...yeah. whatever. Error THIS. :D

Men!

So, I'm scoping out Scotts movable type dealie test page & there's a little post that says....

"Don't mess up my site (jewels)!" Like hello! It's a test... HA! So... I posted this little bit of joy & happiness... "You know.... Brainiac women do NOT mess up sites, even if they are named -7 during non daylight savings dot org. :p I just sent you an email...& where ARE you...& you can delete this, I just wanted to say hi. HI!!" So there! :p

You know... at work we have this picture of the day deal where customers can submit pics. And some FREAK keeps scanning in pictures of Pokemon cards & submitting them. WTF?! They submit them, I delete them... they submit them, I delete them... I mean...HELLO...?! Have you SEEN any of your pokescans on the site? No. Nuff said.

Greymatter vs. Movable Type

I'm thinking of switching to Movable Type... thanks to Scott who just had to install it & let me see how cool it looks after my installing Greymatter on a 2000 server nightmare. Funny thing, movable doesn't have an e Jewels...duh.

I'm getting more in the posting mood, & keep thinking, well, do people really want to read about my daily happenings, or to see a bunch of links...& then I figure I am what I am, & can't make myself spend more time on my log than I have time to. All I've realy wanted is an online diary type deal. Not a big contest to see who's cooler. I mean, sure it would be nice if people thought I was cool...but, I can't go out of my way to try & please people...right? Aaagghh, so my decision is...a whole redo including movable type. Sucky thing is... Bob hates it when I sit at the computer. So...now it''s 9:25 & I have to decide what to do. Post & work on hwat I have, or do what I always do, & redo & never finish.

I think that's my problem, I'm Miss start something, get all excited & then get sick of it. Ugh. I spent the weekend trying to make a cool game for my kids. Uh, yeah, hours, & all I have to show for it is like this bouncy ball thing & 2 broken games that don't do what I want them to.

My sister is in the hospital...her water broke 6 weeks early. (Her 5th child...her 5th BOY!) The doctor wants her to stay in bed & try to not have the baby for a few days... poor thing. I wish I could be there for her!

My best friend Nikki just had her 5th child today! Second girl, born 4 weeks early & she has the most beautiful name! Julia Taylor :) I never had a baby named after me...funny feling, really nice. I miss Nikki! :'( I haven't sen her for over 10 years. Her poor husband is home with the kids, she's been in the hospital almost a week now with kidney stones, & then labor. Wish I could be there with her too. :'( And Nikki had pregnancy diabetes, so now poor Julia is in the NICU with her blood sugar levels too low.

But...she was 5lbs. 12 oz, so not too bad. :) Nikki seems to be doing well. She really had me laughing, which was good, I've been so worried about her.

My Mom is doing pretty good too. Her second chemo & again she had to go get a shot for 5 days afterward because her white blood count is too low. Weird.

And...my uncle Dennis who has had diabetes for as long as I can remember has been doing really bad. He moved to Arizona with my aunt Sandy...(his sister) & htey said he's VERY sick. Now he's in a wheelchair & had to go to the ER Saturday because he was bleeding from his eyeballs!! What the hell..?! I looked it up, & he may go blind if they don't catch it & fix it soon enough. Poor guy, he's so sweet too. Still to this day calls me "Junior". It's funny.

Well anyhow...it's like my whole family is falling to pieces. I hope everything works out & gets better soon. I've got a lot of praying & thanking to do.

Ok...I'm gonna go figure out if I want a new look or to switch to movable type or what. I spose I'll turn on Trillian & see if Scotts on since we're the can't do anything without the other knowing about it type. Which is like the weirdest thing ever because there were days we really hated eachother, like not even speaking & I suppose a few choice words, mostly on my part...when we were working together. Strange world we live in. I'll be back.

P.S. Yes, it's still May in my world...since I haven't changed my calendar. ack.

Been forever

Ok, so I've been MIA for over a month... I went to take my mom to her first chemo...& was gone like 3 weeks. Wasn't on much while I was gone & have been dealiing with either the kids or me being sick since I got back. I have some terrble flu/cold thing... migraine/sinus infection deal. sucks.

I think tonight I'm going to work on some stuff... for my other weird site, since I haven't done a thing to it in months. Maybe I'll make some graphic sets... we'll see how creative I am feeling & how sick I am.

Hopefully I'll start posting again now that I'm back... ;)
