Cleaning Up
2007-12-16 07:11:00 I did a little account maintenance on Cerulean Hosting, removing accounts for sites that I’m not really using. I don’t see the point in using my paid-for hosting to host sites that I only update once every 2-3 months, if that often. One of the domains, in fact, didn’t even have anything posted on it ...

Maybe I Should
2007-12-15 07:53:00 I’ve been looking into getting a laptop for quite a while. The problem is, I always seem to end up needing to spend whatever I’ve tried to save on things I need. Part of the problem is the sticky situation I’ve gotten myself into regarding my payday loans, but that’s for another post. I’m thinking ...
Not a Drinker?.
2007-12-11 08:48:00 I have to say, I’m not much of a drinker. It’s not something I’ve ever really gotten into. So when I was asked to give a review of wine, my first thought was, ‘I don’t know anything about wine.’ My next thought was, who cares? I’m curious about these wine clubs I’ve been hearing ...
Dog Tags
2007-12-11 08:37:00 One of the things I always loved when I’d look through my dad’s old military stuff was his dog tags. I’d wear them around my neck if he’d let me. I loved them that much. As I grew older and we moved a few times though, they disappeared. But I’ve always loved the look ... More About: Tags
I Guess It?s Not So Bad
2007-12-10 21:01:00 I used Gimp to create graphics for a new theme for The Swanton Rant and they turned out all right. I suppose Gimp isn’t too bad, it’s just getting used to it and the way you have to do things. There are a few things though that bother me, such as I have no idea ... More About: Blogging , Guess
Clean again?.
2007-12-02 09:37:00 Here I sit, fresh from the shower, wondering what the world to blog about. Oh….it snowed today! I can say that. It actually did snow. Well, actually it snowed last night. The people my landlord hired to scoop the walks though are idiots. They only put salt on my neighbor’s side of the porch, ... More About: Work , Clean
Land?.
2007-12-01 11:43:00 You know, one of the things I find very interesting about the state of Iowa, is that when you buy a house, you only buy the actual building. The land it sits on belongs to the city or state. At any time, if the city wants to build something on your land, they can tell ... More About: Land
Eyeliner
2007-12-01 08:44:00 If there is one thing I hate about putting on my makeup, it’s trying to get my eyeliner on. I can never seem to get it on right. It drives me bananas. I just got 2 new dual-eyeliners today and I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get them on right. Maybe I should ... More About: Eyeliner
This is why I have DVR
2007-11-29 09:54:00 Because my wrestling shows occur when I’m at work. LOL Granted, I’m 2 days late watching WWE RAW, but that’s all right. Who cares as long as I get it watched before next Monday’s RAW. LOL Right now it’s Chris Jericho who is coming to the ring, but I’m actually not much of a fan ...
Ever Ask Yourself?
2007-11-28 22:35:00 Why am I here? Why am I doing this? Why do I bother? LOL I ask myself these things all the time. Like, why do I bother gathering up the garbage when my dog will inevitably get into it and string it all over before I can get it to the dumpster. LOL Yeah, I’m having ... More About: Blogging , Work
Investments
2007-11-28 22:06:00 You know, one of the things that they stress at Stream is investing in your future. So much so in fact, that they actually start your 401k contributions, taking 2% out of your paychecks starting on the first day of the month following your 90th day of employment. Yeah. So I started looking around and ... More About: Investments
Pretty Good
2007-11-28 09:33:00 I stopped at Wal-Mart after work and because I was feeling lazy, I bought a box of 2 “hero” size cheeseburgers by Swanson. A couple of minutes in the microwave, a slathering of Miracle Whip, and a drizzle of dijon mustard, and I have to say, they aren’t half bad. Although I have to ... More About: Pretty , Good
Work??
2007-11-27 21:52:00 I’m having one of those days. You know, the ones where you get out of bed, but your eyes don’t want to stay open? My brain keeps saying “your pillows are getting lonely.” I know that but my checkbook says “feed me” and I have rent to pay, etc. So staying home is not an ... More About: Blogging , Work
Clothes Shopping
2007-11-27 11:31:00 I don’t shop for clothes. Why? Because I’m fat and I can never find anything that fits me. Honestly, I’m a woman but probably fit better into mens’ “big and tall” sizes than women’s sizes of anything. I was looking around for clothes and stumbled on this volcom clothing. Not a whole lot I liked ... More About: Shopping , Clothes , Cloth
I?m Getting a Computer!
2007-11-27 11:22:00 I do a website for a friend of mine and we’d been talking the other day about how frustrated I am with my “hybrid heap” or “hybrid dinosaur” of a computer. It doesn’t let me do anything I want to do. I can’t play certain games or load certain software because I don’t have enough ... More About: Computer
What Do I Get Him?
2007-11-27 11:13:00 My dog that is. You see, I have no kids, so I get my pets presents each year. My problem is, my cat is easy. You get him cat toys and he’s in heaven. The dog on the other hand, is a pain. He loves treats, but he hates toys. You won’t catch him playing ...
Getting Serious
2007-11-25 08:06:00 I’m thinking it’s time I got serious. About losing weight. Yeah, I’ve been on a couple of diets before, but I’m really thinking that it’s time for me to start getting serious about the whole weight loss thing. A lot of the people at work are talking about different things they’re doing, including taking things ...
Always the Same
2007-11-25 07:37:00 I’m telling you. I keep seeing the same posts on my BlogRush widget. I mean, it’s not that I don’t appreciate the traffic that the widget has brought me, but yeesh, can I see some new links on it please? Wow. LOL In any case, I keep reading all over the internet about the various websites ... More About: Always
Bargain Shopping
2007-11-25 07:01:00 If there’s one thing I love to do, it’s go bargain shopping. I love to find deals on things I want and things I need. So when LaShawn said she wanted an iPod for either Christmas or her birthday, I went looking for the best deals on an iPod. Myself, I’m looking for the best ... More About: Shopping , Bargain
I Love Free Stuff!!!!!
2007-11-18 07:03:00 I went around the side of the building to get my mail and noticed a white bubble-type envelope on the floor. On closer inspection, I found that it was addressed to me. It was a package I’d been anticipating from Vat19.com! I was so happy that I’d finally received it. I’d been waiting for this ... More About: Love , Free Stuff , Free , Stuff
TV Time
2007-11-18 03:45:00 I’m busily messing with my blog, but I’m also watching CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. I have my DVR set to tape all the older episodes on Spike TV so I can watch them. I’m finding the greater majority I haven’t seen, which I find interesting since it’s only been the last 2 years that I’ve ... More About: Television , Time , Blogging
More Furniture
2007-11-18 00:47:00 I’d like to get some more furniture. Not sure what all I could fit in my apartment, but I’d like to have some more. Most notably, a recliner. I haven’t had a recliner for years and I’d love to have one. My last one was a big tan one that was huge! I’m 5′9″ and ... More About: Furniture
It?s Awfully Dark In Here
2007-11-16 23:45:00 Of course, if I’d actually get off my fat butt and turn on the lights, it might help. I also need to walk my dog. I’ve been up and about for exactly one hour. Yes, I got up at 3:40 PM. Why? Because I didn’t go to bed until 6AM this morning since I was ... More About: Life , Dark , Awful
For Pity Sake
2007-11-16 13:17:00 Between PayPal screwing up and going for the WRONG bank account to pay my hosting bill and then just overdrawing my PP account AND CANCELLING my billing plan for my hosting (that’s gonna be fun to fix), and the oddball calls I get at work, I’m beginning to think I’m surrounded by stupid people. The ... More About: Pity
PayPal Sucks!
2007-11-16 13:17:00 Yeah, you heard me….PayPal sucks. I have a savings account and a checking account both attached to my PayPal account. My checking account is the PRIMARY account on there. So tell me why PayPal tried to pull money from my SAVINGS account to pay my hosting bill? Of course it was declined. And of course, ... More About: Paypal , Sucks
Are You Ready?
2007-11-12 20:48:00 I guess that should properly read, Am I Ready ?, but that’s all right. I’m not ready. I’m not ready to go to work and sit by myself on the other side of my bay from the people I know and like, because my seat was chosen for me in an effort to better our team. ... More About: Work
How We Can Help
2007-11-12 19:56:00 You know, Christmas is right around the corner. Christmas and all that comes with it. Good times with family and friends. The Christmas tree and all the trimmings for it. The pretty lights and interesting decorations for both inside and out. And of course, holiday gift giving, which for a lot of people is ...
Excuse Me?
2007-11-12 08:17:00 I’m all for bettering our team at work. But…… volunteering the entire team to switch to 3:30 - midnight shift without asking anyone if that was ok with them and assigning everyone’s seats like we’re in kindergarten? Somehow that doesn’t seem quite right to me. Maybe I’m overly sensitive, but at 31 years old, I think ... More About: Work , Excuse
Saving Money
2007-11-11 07:13:00 I’m getting ready to replace my computer. The reason I’m getting ready to replace my computer is because it’s a dinosaur and it just doesn’t work the way I think it should. It’s too slow and it just acts stupid most of the time. In an effort to save some money to try and put ... More About: Money , Saving
Boring Saturday
More articles from this author:2007-11-10 23:03:00 Well, it’s Saturday again, and I’m bored. As usual. I don’t feel like watching the DVR, I don’t feel like popping in a movie, I don’t really want to play games online, and I don’t really want to play video games. I probably should be cleaning my apartment, or at least doing a bit of ... More About: Blogging , Boring 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 |
