in honor of halloween

this has been a very long week and a super busy friday. it really helped that i have some really great friends to help me throughout the busy days. Tomorrow is girls nite, i'm so excited. it's always a blast, then my mom and i are headed to brown county for a few days. i just finished backing up my photos and updating the ipod. i am going to miss my little puppies while were gone. i'm watching scarey movie 3 right now, it's pretty funny, i've never seen it before.... lol

i *heart* youtube.com

went to the apple orchard today, fun times. i am so pooped tho. we got apple and pumpkin donuts, plus some gala apples. did i ever tell you how much i LOVE apples?! :)

just picked it up from the bodyshop and i have to take it back photos

look ma it's two toned! it was a bad day today, it doesn't sound like they're going to fix my car. we meet with the insurance guy thursday. (i cried at work - so that's never good) and if they don't fix my car i don't know what to do. i hate it. i can't stand to look at it, it makes me sick, literally.

the car

first image is of my car the day i bought it (July 05). the other 2 photos are of it right after the accident. tomorrow i'll post the "i just picked it up from the bodyshop and i have to take it back photos". yea that's right, i picked it up and now i have to take it back. the colors of the replacement parts are NOT the same green as the rest of my car, the check engine light is on and the headlights are different brightnesses. this sucks. and i returned the rental. so now luckily a good friend is taking me to work tomorrow. oh yea didn't i mention i'm broke b/c of the rental car AND the insurance hasn't even sent the check to reimburse me. UGH!!! *pulls hair out* i just want to cry.... some more.....

fallen flower

went to game night sat. and didn't get home until 4am sunday! insane. i've never been out that late, i was so dead tired, but i had such a blast playing spoons with all of my work friends. the only way that i was able to stay awake was the intense sugar high from all of the cupcakes, gummy bears and jelly beans that i consumed. yum....

sunflower fest

i hope to finally finish my portfolio layout soon. it's actually done i just need to code it (which is not as fun as designing, lol). i've got game night tonite, we're dressing up. i am so tired, i don't know how i'm going to make it. i am such an old fart.

laziness

i am so lazy when it comes to blogging. i don't know why it's really not that hard. it just a matter of doing it. i shot this at the sunflower fest

great weekend

Well I had a great weekend. Yesterday I went shopping with Kathy and Becca, we had such a great time. I love how honest we are when trying on clothes, if they weren't with me I don't know what I would buy. Today mom and I went to the Dunes and were there for almost 3 hours. We sat at the beach for two hours and then drove around through the forest. I realized today tho that I really need to buy a new memory card for the camera b/c I have a nasty habit of not cleaning them off. I'm thinking at least 1GB. Then we went to the antique store. I got 2 little strawberry shortcake figurines and mom got 2 elephants. We ate Tortellini for dinner, which was super yummy. I hope to post some photos soon. I'm going to download tomorrow and then I need to finish the coding for the new gallery layout. I'm working on it, so hopefully soon!

prison break

another great prison break nite, it always keeps me on the edge of my seat and makes me look forward to mondays! :-)

test

i'm having archive problems, once those are solved I'm working on photos

Easy Saturday

Such a beautiful day out today. I went to the Lowell Labor Day Festival, took a bike ride (a couple of them) and cut part of a tree down. It was just nice to be outside in the blue sky :)

site's back... almost

well this is actually a pretty simple layout for me. it will do for now.



today was my birthday and i got a bike! it was a really crappy rainy day, so we went to the movies and saw little miss sunshine. it was a great movie, i haven't laughed that hard in so long -- it was great! mom and i were crying, i couldn't breathe, it was almost like i had some jamba juice -- almost. :)

i must say prison break was amazing tonite (why do i watch that, it just kills me ugh) and the shake up on fresh meat was great!

i found

this neat little site. Post a Secret
it kind of makes you wonder what type of secrets that the people you see on a daily basis are keeping from you.

and i thought this xbox 360 came out already. they keep showing it on tv over and over and over....apparently i was wrong. it looks really cool. i like to wonder how someone came up with this or designed it. technology is amazing and i'm rambling. goodbye. lol

revamping

i would really love to revamp this site, i am so sick of this design. it needs a new life. the only thing is...I can't find my HTML book, I have no idea where it is. I've looked everywhere I thought it would be...um yea.

oh oh, I found this nifty little link today: Panda Cam at the San Diego Zoo. When I was on the site, there was a little one rolling around SO CUTE!

someday...

i want to visit Chincoteague Island, Virginia to watch the ponies being hearded across the river to the mainland for auction. awe to see a childhood book come true. i'm speaking of Misty of Chincoteague this site gives you an idea of Misty and the history. i loved that book as a kid and just happend upon this site tonite. it would be magic. the sad part of this story is that they have actually stuffed poor misty and one of her foals. their remains are now on display. eww. poor misty.

like OMG

i'm frickin' blogging, who'da thunk it?!
i want this site so bad, but i just don't want to work on it. i think it's the fact that i sit in front of a computer all day long at work. i want a new layout. i want content. but i don't want to sit here for 8 hours to do it all. anyway i don't have that much time. excuses, excuses. whatever. i figure if i just start blogging, i will regain the passion i once had when i had my other site. i have a mental list of things to accomplish but i just don't do them -- i've become lazy and i hate it. i'm not that way at work. i'm on top of things there. this is my challenge and my hope that i will regain the passion for the things that i used to love. it's just hard. i'm sad. this makes me sad. i'm going to beat it. i want to start writing again and doing art. maybe i will try to go morning pages, maybe evening pages... hmmm i need to make time to find me. this was supposed to be my journey, but now it's just my purgatory. i need goals again. i've achieved the ones that i had. i need new ones. i need to work on this site, i want to be proud again. this is going to help me be me. random babbling is now over. i'm such a dork. ok now it's really over. ;)

have you ever tried to... step in my shoes

work has been so extremely hectic, i can't even explain. i'm just so glad that i'm off this next week. i really need it, i'm just pooped. i left early today, which was great. my mom and i went on a little excursion. i think we're going to go the fair oaks dairy farm this weekend. it looks pretty neat. oh yea, so i left at like 2 today and it was great b/c it was absolutely gorgeous outside. i opened all of my windows and blasted incubus from my tape deck. it was fabulous. i enjoyed the breeze so much. i. am. such. a. nerd. so now i have incubus songs in my head and it's pretty great!
we're supposed to have a garage sale next weekend, i am totally not looking forward to that -- at all.


have you ever wanted to spill open? i want to be like sabrina and just spill everything on paper with paint, pencil, anything. there's so much that i think about, that needs to get out. one day.

(band of the blog title -- incubus)

the best of me is still hiding up my sleeve

Sandi and I saw Jewel yesterday. It was awesome, she has such an amazing and powerful voice. We had a great time, altho we didn't know half of the songs, plus our seats were crappy, but that's what binoculars are for (that was a major run-on sentence). Tony Lucca was there, one of my mousketter hotties, so a MAJOR plus + We're so silly, we shopped around, didn't realy buy anything. I did get 2 purses, b/c I really needed them -- yea right. They were super cute and on sale, so I just couldn't pass them up.

Do you ever feel like you just don't accomplish anything? I do. I don't really try tho, I just feel kind of bad about it. There's just a major lack of motivation. I'm in search of it. I need to get art5y again. I've lost it. This is my quest. I just need to make up some ground rules for this hunt of sorts.

guess the lyric (in the title)
john mayer
I think I'm going to start that, those titles from now on will be lyrics that race through my head. Music is my livelyhood, art my soul. (<-- qoute by me)

love is a flame neither timid nor tame...

jewel lyrics ^
i hope she plays jupiter tomorrow, it's my face song of hers. I'm so excited to see her, plus I get to go with Sandi *double yay*. i was reading about her in the paper on Friday, and they said that you could shout requests. Hopefully she'll play it. I thought that I had all of her CDs but I realized today that I don't ... oh well. I guess I'll learn some new songs for me and older for others. I'm excited! Did I tell you that? Went to Target today, no photo paper, black ink cartridge or the Switchfoot live CD! Damn you target!! Damn you with your well design tempting things that make me spend money that I shouldn't!! *grr* *lol* I'm am such a freak. I did get me tape player put in my car, so today I listened to Switchfoot. I swear learning to breathe is my fave song. It will go on April's soundtrack to her life, which btw I'd like to add to this site, altho I bet it'd going to be very very very long and crazy.

yada yada yada

yea work is finally slowing down, i can breathe!
it's been so hairy the past few weeks, i'm looking forward to the down time for once.
i do need to figure out why my links aren't the right color on this thing tho. oh and i can't get the text to justify and it's driving me batty. i'm actually blogging tho. gold star for me. i walked on the treadmill tonite, hopefully next monday i won't be so ashamed by low pedometer numbers. i'm really bringing down the team on that one. i'm such a slacker.
i need to figure out what i'm putting in the fair this year. i'll do that tomorrow, yea the deadline for turning in the form is friday, so i really need to do that tomorrow. um yea... i'm going to actually read my book (lord of the rings) and then hit the hay. tomorrow's an early day for me. yea....i guess.....
