I just heard back from my blog template designer about making all the changes necessary to update my template to the new Blogger settings (which then allows me to get HaloScan to handle my comments) and they said it would be $75 an hour for 2 hours work. Hmm. It didn't cost me that much to have the the whole thing made from scratch! So now I am thinking of moving to WordPress. I don't want to

I have a couple photo shoots coming up, so I am finally getting around to making Moo Cards to use as business cards. So to do that, I uploaded my favorite portraits from the lasts few months to use on the front of the cards. I think it will work out to about 2 cards of each picture, which will be a lot of fun when I hand someone four or five cards to give to friends. Each card will have a

Three years ago I had one of the simultaneously best and worst days of my life. It was Valentine's Day, and it had snowed. A few friends came over to my house, and we sequestered ourselved with board games and booze. We built snowmen, and threw snowballs, and met a very large Great Dane. It was a great day. But somehow, it decended into a devilish sort of fray by that night. This was when I was

I have disabled anonymous comments for the time-being. I know a lot of you like to comment anonymously and just leave initials so I know who you are, and that is totally fine with me. The problem is, lately, I have gotten a couple completely anonymous comments, and one was incredibly sweet, while the other, NOT so much. On both accounts, I really wanted to know who the commentor was. So please

I got a haircut last night. I asked for bangs a la Reese Witherspoon in this photo:This is what I got:What do you think? I think they need to grow out a touch. Do they look ok?? My hair is growing SUPER fast lately. I just got my bangs cut less than three weeks ago and they had already grown almost an inch. So I asked my hairdresser to cut them a tad short because of that. But now I'm not so sure

It's amazing how much better Valentine's Day is when you have a First (BLIND!!) Date the next day! I will be meeting the...umm...he needs a nickname...Here's what I know so far...Lawyer, and musician (in a cover band that plays Dave Matthews Band, cause um, that that is so friggin' cool!!)...He doesn't sing the Dave parts.

The last 72 hours have been an emotional whirlwind. I have managed to end a relationship and start one in the matter of 48 hours. Granted, I have no idea what will happen with the new one, as, thus far, only a handful of e-mails have been exchanged, but I think I have made pretty quick work of being dumped. The saddest, yet most refreshing part of the whole thing is that I wasn't upset over

And...I'm single.Err...I'm no longer in an exclusive but non-committed relationship with The Architect.I can't even call it a break up with that sort of status. But we are no longer together, and that's all that matters. Four days before Valentine's Day, he decided he didn't see a future for us. Uh, I wasn't sure there was one either but I enjoyed his company, and I wanted to have a frigging

Went to the Immunologist today. She is completely perplexed too. But she was very nice, and interested in the whole problem. She also is sending me to get a bunch of blood tests done to rule some things out.

Woot!I KNEW you'd be excited!I planted more seeds in a new mini-greenhouse yesterday.

And here's the kicker, I have to call after 3pm everyday between February 23rd and March 9th to see if they will need me the next day.On the plus side, they reimburse you for mileage driven to and from the court house.

The seedlings looked basically the same as my last posted picture on Friday. They were about 2 inches tall. Then I left town. And the snow peas went nuts! Two and a half days later, this is what I came home to! They are more than a foot tall now!What the heck do I do with them now?? I wasn't expecting to transplant them for a few weeks. Now I am going to have create a wire grid for them to grow

The baby plants are doing great! If I had remembered--amongst the other 8 million things I have done in the last 36 hours--to take a photo, you would be seeing teeny little green leaves poking through the soil that is protectively incubating the basil seeds, and you would long stalk-like stems stand strong and tall on the Snow Pea side.

I posted a couple new pictures of the seedlings. I tried to post some at lunch yesterday, but I forgot I had shot them in RAW and I don't have PhotoShop CS2 here at work, so I couldn't access the pictures. SO, this morning I took new pictures in JPEG and voila! A blog post was born!The snow peas are growing extremely fast. They seem very excited about coming into the world. Always giggling and

Last night I bought a greenhouse (sort of like this, but bigger and it didn't come with the plethora of seeds)...Ok, it's a black plastic tray with a clear plastic top. It's a greenhouse for my kitchen! How 'bout that? Don't know why, but I got the urge to plant something. So, since I can't do that outside just yet, I am growing things from seed.

So the Cranberry scones, are quite good! Since I don't eat scones on a regular basis, I can pretend these taste just like the real thing (which I have discovered is the way to eat low-fat foods...you eat things you never normally eat--i.e. scones, chowder, cans of skeletal salmon--and you don't realize what you are missing). They are sweet and there is a coating of sugar on top that gives them a

Did you know Salmon in a can has bones in it??? Yup! Totally gross!! I made this recipe for Salmon Chowder last night, and it called for a can of salmon. When I bought the can, I was all excited at the ease of a can of salmon! No need to buy the expensive slab of pink fish at the fish counter, or handle the raw fish, or even cut it for that matter. Just dump in a can. Sweet. Until I went to drain

I'm back from San Antonio! Well, actually, I've been back since yesterday afternoon. Yes, I convinced The Architect to come back. Mostly, I just played the "Pleease" card. But it worked. And there wasn't even an argument. SA was fun. It's interesting how every time I go, I experience it a different way. This is the first time I have gone in any sort of romantic capacity, and it was really nice.

I need sleep.I spend 8 hours in my bed, and I fall asleep quickly, but I might as well have a 2 month old baby. I wake up 4 times a night. Every two hours or so. It is really starting to suck. I have done everything that is suggested to get better sleep except completely give up caffeine, but I stop drinking it between three and four every day. I don't drink much alcohol, and virtually none at

We have HEAT!FINALLY, I had to turn the heat back on! Thank goodness! I thought it was going to be in the 70s right through Christmas! And that, my friends, is not Christmas! It's still not cold, but there's a chill in the air, and it's cloudy and rainy, so I am pretending it's about to snow. I look up at the clouds and say, "you clouds, you are snow clouds!" And they look back at me and say, "

Somehow, in the last week, I haven't mentioned the most amazing news I've heard in months! My best friend from first grade...my first best friend ever...the person who knows me deep down, better than anyone else, even if we don't know the daily details of each others lives anymore...the person who I respect more than anyone I know with the exception of my parents, and my grandmother...the person

The problem with throwing a Christmas party on December 9th is that you spend the three weeks before getting ready for the party, instead of shopping, and then the week after cleaning up...instead of shopping. I have been so far behind on my Christmas shopping this year! If it weren't for the internet, I don't think any of my out-of-state friends and family would be getting anything before the

This article on the BBC News: Technology website (which is strangely attributed to no one...) is rather interesting. Besides the fact that Technorati's data has been notoriously unreliable, it's interesting that this analyst firm, Gartner, thinks blogging will peak in 2007. It seems to me that as the population ages, the number of bloggers will naturally increase, because people don't seem to

I am thankful and frustrated. This is the second year in a row that December has proven to be a whopper of a month. Last year, my uncle died of a fall that was preceeded by a heart attack just a couple weeks before Christmas, and then the brother of my aunt died of a heart attack just days before New Year's Eve. It was a bad month. It was sad, and prompted many, many Whys.This month has been bad

Once upon a time there was a lovely little house. It was a simple two bedroom, two bath, with high ceilings, a cozy loft overlooking the living room, and 1590 square feet in which to call home. It also had ridiculous electric bills. $400 was the going rate in the summer, and nearly that much could be seen in the winter. What was a home owner to do? Why, call the home warranty company, of course!

Apparently, I needed a blogging break after 30 days straight (that did not win me any fabulous prizes! Man.). BUT I made it. I wrote for 30 straight days and only had a couple place holder posts for the few days in the last month that I had nothing to say. Because, as you can see, I do not live up to my blog title...To celebrate this accomplishment, I give you (or rather, I give ME) this:

We had a snow day today! Sort of...We had snow, and sleet, and ice, and rain...and I got to leave work at 3:00. That extra couple of hours gave me a lot of time, actually. I managed to get most of my Christmas cards done (the core really important ones, anyway...) and fixed my Christmas lights outside. Apparently, when an outdoor timer says it's an outdoor timer, they don't really mean it. They

Only one more NaBloPoMo post left after today! I am thinking of getting these made. How cool are they? Wouldn't it be perfect for my new side career as a photographer? Hand them out to customers and give them three or four to pass on, but they would all have a different image on them...That would be awesome!

I think the only real newscasters left are on Sunday morning talk shows...I always have this feeling after I watch Meet The Press or This Week that I really learned something. That the information was real, and that anchor did his best to get every last ounce out of his guests. Guests say things on Sunday mornings that follows them for the rest of the week in a way that no other interviews do.

Cyber Monday is almost over, and I managed to not order anything! I did however, receive something I ordered last week...I guess I still did my part! Well, I am exhausted from a very busy evening of tree trimming, photo editing, dinner cooking, and dishwasher emptying...I am off to bed to dream of the presents that will be occupying the very empty space under my Christmas tree!

Do you have a real Christmas tree? I do. I love the real trees! I can't see the fun in building a tree from box each year. Not to mention, the fake trees are more prickly than the real ones! I bought my tree today! I usually wait a week or two after thanksgiving to get my tree, but since I having a Christmas party on the 9th, I decided to go ahead and get it this weekend so that I wasn't stressed

Let the American appetite for materialism and comsumerism be fulfilled! It's Black Friday! The malls are full, the credit cards are out, the SALE signs are in abundance!

Every year, my company has a Thanksgiving dinner for our employees. The company buys the Turkeys (four this year!) and some sides, and every else brings a dish. There is A LOT of food! This year, I decided to give cupcakes another go. I really wanted to make them look like mums but when I opened my new pack of icing tips I realized I didn't have the right one. I also couldn't get the icing as

Somewhere along the way, in the last year, I got very depressed. The kind of depressed that makes the world feel cruelly small and intense. Last year was a hard year for me. My grandmother almost died, causing me to deal for the first time in my life with issues of death and aging that I had always been protected from. I learned how to shop for a nursing home. I hope you never have to do that.

I forgot to do my defensive driving class.I got a ticket nearly three months ago, and was supposed to do defensive driving to remove the ticket from my record (as Texas so kindly allows for). At about midnight last night I remembered this. In my head I was pretty certain I had to get it taken care of by November 22. Somehow I didn't realize that date was so close.

I have absolutely nothing interesting to tell you. I've had a cold, and been busy working this week. Nothing thrilling to talk about really. I did lose most of my voice last night and today, though. For someone who loves to talk, that's a problem! Hopefully, my life will get a little more exciting soon!

How many pairs of shoes do you have?I think I have about 60. Is that bad? I wear most of them...I may not wear them all the time, but I never feel like I am neglecting most of them. They are all given love on a rotating basis...I suppose it's rather glutinous to have 60 pairs of shoes. I am sitting here thinking to myself how I can justify that many shoes with some logical requirement, but well,

How do you buy shoes online??Do you not worry about how they will feel when you put them on? For me, if the stitching is too stiff it scrapes my foot and gives me blisters. How can I tell that from a picture online?I found these cute shoes that would be perfect for my office because they are casual enough to wear in the warehouse (which is quite dusty and large), but cute enough to look

Football sucks.The Florida loss and of course the Texas loss absolutely blew last night.In other news, I bit the bullet and bought a Kitchen Aid mixer today...FYI, they are price-fixed. I looked several places and searched online and they are priced exactly the same everywhere. That did however, let me buy the mixer at Target, where I will have a 90 day return policy. Something I personally love!

Rutger's win on Thursday has created a very interesting day in football...just few simple twists of fate, and my Longhorns will be back in the National Championship!I will be watching The Florida vs South Carolina game this afternoon, my nails bitten down to the quick rooting for South Carolina to win...If you have any interest in football, South Carolina and Texas are today's picks!Hook 'Em

One of my favorite and least favorite parts of my job is that I am the IT Guru around here. It's not my actually job--that is reserved for marketing, and sales--but I am the first line of defense against all things electronic and malfunctioned. In the last four years, I have slowly learned more and more about computers, culminating recently in my new found ability to transfer an old hard drive

Since the greatest of excitement has mostly died down about the elections, I would like to ask you all a question.Do you think it is strange that we (sometimes) vote in churches (or other houses of worship)?Tuesday when I voted, I was sent to a church about a mile from my house. The convenience was nice, but something about voting in a church rubbed me the wrong way. It took some thinking, but I

While I was at lunch, the world blossomed!I happened to check in with the lovely Supa MB over at Supafine, and she broke the news to me that Rumsfeld stepped down! And then, on top of that, it looks like the Senate is going to the Dems, as well!This is going to sound corny, but I seriously had tears welling up. It's not so much that the Dems won, as it is the Republicans lost. The Republicans

I voted! I voted in my Red State. In my state where my opinions don't really count. Well, it doesn't count on a state level anyway. Every single state office was filled with a Republican. Even the State Agriculture Commissioner, who's opponent was a Democrat yes, but a Democrat who is actually still in the business of agriculture, which in my eyes seemed like a good background to be the

As promised, I have posted a few pictures of the television shoot to my Flickr account...Unfortunately, since I was in most of the shots taken inside the house, most of these pictures are from the part that was shot outside, but at least it gives you a small idea of what went on. The four people in the photos are Cameron (the guy in the suit/real estate agent), Amy (the only girl, and the

The shoot went great today. The show won't air until Spring, so I will probably just put it out of my mind for a while, but before I do that, I will post some pictures tomorrow. I'd do it tonight, but quite honestly, I am wiped out. This was a very long day!Here come my literal 15 minutes of fame! :)

Back from Austin (where I mobile blogged from yesterday)...I had a great time! AWESOME time! The Architect was awesome! We went to Wurstfest in New Braunfels on Friday night. I should have brought my camera, but I forgot it. It was a blast! Wurstfest is an Octoberfest type of festival, and the basic idea is drink beer, eat sausage, drink beer, dance, then drink beer. I got rather intoxicated! And

Before I carved my goofy little guy, my friends and I had planned on carving some pumpkins together. But beer got the best of us, and well, the pumpkins didn't get carved so much as they got stabbed...

Going to Austin today! The Architect has an extra ticket to the game, so I am going with him! Yay! The only problem is that I am not sure how I am going to post tomorrow. Maybe I will be able to find a computer on campus when I drag the architect to the Co-op...This should be an interesting trip. As my friend Jenny says, the fastest test of a relationship is to go on a trip with someone...Well,

This post officially starts my attempt at NaBloPoMo! Last night I went to The Architect's house for dinner and some Halloween Goodness. Did I tell you? His house is awesome. I mean totally awesome! He may live 25 minutes away but for once, I don't really mind the drive, because at the end of it is a lovely house to hang out in instead of a gross boy-ick-ified abode. That just rocks my world!

Less than 24 hours are left until I will offically start NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month) which will provide you with at least one post for each day of November! And I promise to try to make every one of them a REAL post...Not just a link. I hope you will check in frequently and comment voraciously this month!

This past weekend, I decided I needed to make cupcakes. I never make cupcakes. I don't even own a mixer! But persistance prevailed and I borrowed my mother's mixer. The ancient Hamilton Beach that shakes when it mixes and won't go into the OFF position. It's fabulous, let me tell ya!But the mixer does mix, and with a little white cake mix I was able to make some sutible cupcakes. The part I was

Last November, as some of you might remember, I participated in NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month. I wrote a 50,000 word book in a month. I loved doing it. It was stressful, intense, exhilarating and had me throughly insconced in the world of Pumpkin Spice Lattes. At the end, I had not only written a book which I hope to one day publish, but I had also closed a long chapter in my life by

Saturday I went to the Texas State Fair for the first time. I have been before to watch The Texas/OU game but we never gave more than a cursory look at the fair because we had football to watch, and quite honestly, football will always beat a fried Snickers bar on a stick!But Saturday I went with The Architect. We had a blast! I tried the Fried Mac and Cheese (which was actually pretty decent)

My parents' party was something I had wanted to do for them for several years now. I wanted to celebrate what they had together and remind them of both how special and how rare it was. It was truly something I was doing for them without expecting anything in return (except maybe a brownie point or two to be put in the coffer...good daughter points!). I never expected to get the praise or

The party was awesome! My parents were utterly shocked, and completely elated that so many people cared about them. Did I mention that I threw the entire party for under $500??? Just wondering. I fed 27 people dinner (with real plates!) and beered and wined them for somewhere around $400-450. Not bad, I'd say. I am exhausted. It is Tuesday and the party was saturday, and I am still exhausted. I

I'd drink it if it got me away from my Diet Coke saccharine overload. I just wish the name was better. I can't imagine ordering an Enviga in a restaurant. "yes, could I please have an Enviga?"
