Just 2 more days till the weekend is here. I can’t wait. The tedium of rebuilding site after site in Dreamweaver instead of FrontPage is getting to me I think. Every time I finish a site I have about 5 seconds to feel like I accomplished something — then the realization hits that I still have multiple sites to go. I also find I miss working with people. Sometimes it sucks being alone in a little white walled, white floored, white ceilinged room. I guess burnout is hitting. It isn’t my boss’s fault really…I guess I just feel overwhelmed. Even before the whole FrontPage to DreamWeaver thing I felt overwhelmed.
Still haven’t decided on what to fix for dinner. Right now my appetite is a bit off because Russ and I tackled the fridge. I am officially traumatized. I wish it were easier to clean out the fridge. Not the process itself, but doing it without Nanny getting out of sorts because food is being tossed. The process itself isn’t that bad…unless you are dealing with stuff that goes beyond the realm of turning into a science experiment. We had quite a few containers that were like that. A few times I was thankful my stomach was empty. Yes, it was that bad… *shudders*
Along those lines I just do not get saving 1 spoonful of peas or mac-n-cheese or, and I kid you not, 2-3 small bites of pasta with meat and veggies and a small piece of garlic bread with a bite taken out. Yes I know she grew up during the depression era but she herself has said they never did without. It’s not just her I know, it’s her generation. The world is not going to come crashing to an end just because 3 bites of food gets thrown away. If it matters that much that it not go to waste then start a compost heap or something. Once food is over 3 days old I generally will not eat it. I rather be safe that end up sick as a dog.
ok enough rants.
here’s a cute puppy picture:
I hope it preserves line breaks
Please let it preserve my spacing
It worked!
The face looks like my mother-in-law’s cat.
So far ScribeFire seems to be the winner. I am happy now. It is much easier to just click the little icon at the bottom of Firefox. Plus, since it is browser based there are no compatibility issues for me. I can use it on windows or Ubuntu.
I defected on WoW. After getting my main all the way up to lvl 70 I abandoned her. It just seemed like everything was either rep grind or motes grind or money grind or instances. So I rolled a few Horde alts.
There is Lumine who is a lvl 27 Blood Elf Fire Mage (and man she kicks some ass thanks to the armor Jazz made her and the robe quest reward she got thanks to Tink and Skylander taking me through a way above my level area — lvl 40 quest available at lvl 19). Of course I have learned that the downside of having lots of bonus fire spell damage is it makes my squishy an aggro magnet. Lumi is an Enchanter/Tailor.
Amatine is a level 22 Blood Elf Holy Priest. Ama is a Miner and Jewelcrafter.
Malandra is a level 15 Blood Elf Affliction Warlock. I didn’t feel like doing ghostlands a 3rd time so I did the Undead starting area. Mal is a gatherer. She has Skinning and Mining.
After reading The War of the Ancients trilogy I wanted to get more of the Orc story so I rolled an Orc Shaman named Relaris. She is still a baby, level 4. I may do Herbalism/Alchemy with her.
I have also been playing SecondLife. My avie is named Sendarra Selentiak. I am hoping to learn how to design and build things, I think that is where I could have the most fun.
I am searching for a full featured app that is Linux friendly that I can post entries through. I don’t think this is going to be i though…it doesn’t allow me to set tags and such.
Trying the blog thing again >.< I sorta suck at it because I hate having to log in and all that (yeah yeah I am lazy..). We found some promising blogging packages in Linux so I am gonna give them a go.
More than anything today I am puzzled by my friends. At least I thought they were my friends. It seems like lately I keep getting shoved into the role of "I’ll talk to you when and if I need you…otherwise forget it" This isn’t counting my forum friends…it’s mostly real life friends and online friends from a few years back.
Part of the fault may be mine, I dropped off the planet when Russ’s mom got diagnosed with cancer. BUT I don’t consider it fair that the only way I hear from them is if I initiate contact. I am reaching the point where I am going to assume if I don’t hear from someone on their own prerogative at least some of the time that they have no interest in being friends anymore. I am just tired of this.
The only exception is Abigail. She and I may go months w/o touching base but when we do it is like nothing has changed. I know she is busy and she is like me and thinks about contacting someone at times where it isn’t an option. Plus we do have plans to go see Prince Caspian next month.
