I was really unhappy with my holiday layout. It had a kind of “slapped together” feel to it. So, I changed it. I freely admit I was inspired by a layout done by Blog Moxie, so I endeavored to make a (NOT exact – NO pixels were stolen or harmed during said reenactment) reproduction of it, and I think I am much more happy with this one. I guess I just haven’t been as creatively inspired lately as I have wanted to be. I haven’t done Poser in weeks now, and really have no desire to even open it up. I haven’t installed all of the files on my computer, even, since I replaced the hard drive. I reinstalled the program itself, but the prospect of spending several hours going through CDs and files to reinstall the rest just seems daunting. Someone give me a swift kick, please?
It’s almost like

Daria was kind enough to offer me an invite for Gmail, so, officially, I am a Gmailophite (Gmailian? Gmailanian?). My Magickal Musings mail gets SO much freaking spam I can’t stand it. I have all the spam filters and whatnot, but it is SO depressing to watch your mail program Read more…

Yet another goodie from Michael that I couldn’t resist. Thanks. Sorry for the lack of current postings, my body has not been able to catch up with my mind this week. I think my mind is blowing raspberries. 1. Do you have a favorite Christmas song? If so, what is Read more…

I have a new obsession. I think I need a support group. For real. It’s my portable music player. *hangs head* No, it’s nothing as fancy as an iPod, and I don’t even want one of those. 10,000 songs? Who the heck can listen to 10,000 songs??? Are they just Read more…

LoL, this has got to be the funniest thing I have seen in a while. And oddly enough, how appropriate. Thanks, Chaos. Your Boobies’ Names Are: Cheech and Chong Get your own Boobie Names

Michael invites us all to post a list of 10 things we would like for Christmas (guidelines are contained in the link). OK, I’ll bite. I wish: 1. Season One of Stargate SG-1 on DVD. 2. A job. Any job. 3. To maybe actually LOSE a pound or two (or Read more…

Just in case anyone might still be looking for someone to fill a position, here is my resume. What? It could happen. 🙂

OK, I REALLY need this meme today. I got a call from the nurse’s office at G’s school today that he had been in a fight. *sigh* What the heck? I am so mind-numbingly exhausted and in that “almost-sick-but-not-quite-there” state that I just am not sure how to deal with Read more…

Sorry to take so long to get back, but when you are trapped in an apartment with two boys for four days straight, spending time on the computer is not exactly high on the “things I can do without being interrupted at least 20 times a minute” list. So, anyway, Read more…

OK, so I know I just got back, but my hard drive has been dying a slow death ever since I moved. If I turn my computer off COMPLETELY, when I turn it back on, the computer cannot recognize the hard drive, and it takes several restarts and a fixboot to get things back and running again. And I am kind of sick of leaving the computer on 24/7. MUCH too tempting. 😉 Sadly, after some research, I discovered that my hard drive is losing communication with the rest of the computer. Leave it to ME to have a non-communicative hard drive. So, I was able to pull just enough money out of thin air to get a purportedly halfway decent hard drive from Ebay. Well…we’ll see. I am about to install it. Let’s hope I don’t make a total mess of things. I have installed memory, a graphics board, a ZIP drive, and a CD drive….but a hard drive scares me. Go figure. Heh.
With that, it may be a few days before I have things reinstalled and running once again to my liking (I admit it, I am a total control freak when it comes to my computer. If I don’t want it to do something, it won’t. Damnit.) Maybe it comes from not having a lot of control over the kids now.
So I will leave you with these interesting tidbits in the extended entry, since I still haven’t filled everyone in on all the fascinating things that have happened since my self-sanity-enforced hiatus.
