OK, so I had attempted to make a new layout but needless to say it basically combusted! I had this grand idea running through my head but honestly nothing worked quite like I wanted. Truth be told, I wasn’t really happy with the layout and so it was pretty much downhill from there. So, yet again, I have a backup. I found this one online and I think it’s cute. It’ll last me until I can figure something else out.

I actually got things situated with my computer. I don’t know if I mentioned it or not, but my computer basically crashed. I lost EVERYTHING! Photos, music, files, documents, poems, letters… EVERYTHING. I was pissed. I had downloaded windows service pack 3 and it seemed that everything went downhill from there. So, in the end, I had to reformat the hard drive as windows wouldn’t start AT ALL. I got a fresh install and now I’m slowly getting my usual programs and stuff back. It’s a pain though.

I leave for Tulsa Friday. I’m a little nervous. I don’t have the same fear nothing attitude that I used to have. Now, I’m worried about all the rain they are going to have. I guess I’m more fearful of flying alone. I have this tiny bit of dread that comes over me here and there. No, I don’t believe it’s a “sign” or anything. I just think it’s nerves and the extra stress that is coming over me from my recent panic attacks. I’m excited to go, I really am. I just don’t really like the idea of flying alone. I’ve become such a punk, I swear!

So, I was supposed to go to a job interview today but my mom is being majorly difficult. She gave me no real option on getting there. I’d take the bus if I had money to do so, but I don’t. Basically I get the “I don’t care” vibe from her right now. I don’t know.. eh. I don’t want to deal with it.

On a better note. I WON AN AWARD! How cool is that? Kristi over at the so-facetious.org awards gave me an award as her “pick” of season 2! WOW! I so don’t deserve it, not at all! But I’m totally grateful. I hope I can live up to being her pick. I feel totally special. Ya’ll have to check out my cool AWARD I’m going to go add it to my awards page! Thank you Kristi

I finally got back into the swing of things and in with the “in crowd” lol I got the new ICQ!! Yay for me… OK, maybe not, but hey I like to keep on top of things. Anyway, I realized I don’t really have a means to having some of you contact me. I’d sure like to talk to ya’ll or anyone for that matter, I tend to bore easily so being able to talk is a good thing for me ha. Chatting was always something I found to be fun, nonetheless ya’ll can now reach me several different ways so lets see:

ICQ: 264-411-011
Yahoo: unofficiallyirish

So, write me something, PLEASE?! lol. I need some form of mental stimulation, OK I’m just bored and as per norm I can’t sleep.

On a different note. I’m not sure what I should do about my job. I need to think about how I’m going to handle that. I’ll focus and write about it later.. stay tuned.. ha.

OK, so here are just a couple of updates!

THANK YOU for the submissions to the awards site, it means more then I can say lol! MORE - I NEED MORE. So keep them coming then I can get that up and running.

I finally updated Site of the month! Congrats to the winner.

I also updated “cutest contest” I’m so sorry that was delayed. I had a submission but totally missed it. I added it now. Thank you very much for that.

I will have some paid posts back because, I want a new phone badly and well I need to pay for it lol! Sorry ya’ll hope you don’t mind. It has an added benefit though, it keeps me in blogging mode which is always a good thing; I like that! It allows for me to hone my non-existent writing skills lol to be really honest I think I was doing far better with everything on here when I actually had to sit down and write in different ways lol wow it made my mind work.. now that might not be a good thing. I look at this way, maybe I’ll be more active like I was before haha.

I need a new layout but truthfully, I’m not in the creative mood. I will work on one soon. I just don’t know what to do it on or with or what type of inspiration to go for. Eh. We’ll see.

I believe that’s it. I’m tired. My grandma had surgery tonight and I’m just pooped. I need to go to sleep. I’m so very tired…

I saw this on Brandi’s blog and thought it was cool, so I wanted to copy her and do it lol! I’m bored anyway, not to mention Im taking a break from the therapy blogs. So here we go.

1. Do you try to look hot when you go to the grocery store just in case someone recognizes you from your blog?
Nope. In fact tonight, while going out to pick up our dinner, I went to the Rite-Aid in my pj pants. Oh well. lol

2. Are the photos you post photoshopped or otherwise altered?
I don’t really post pictures, and the ones I have, if I did, was only to change colouring or things of that nature. It doesnt mean much to hide stuff because if you see me in reality then there isnt much I could hide eh?

3. Do you like it when creeps or dorks email you?
I have yet to have that happen. It used to all the time with another domain I worked on, but not on this one.

4. Do you lie in your blog?
Uh no. If I want to have a fake blog then maybe but no. With the crap I have posted on here, there is no way my blog would be lied through. LOL I’m too boring for that.

5. Are you passive-aggressive in your blog?
Pshh. That along with sarcasm should be attached to me.

6. Do you ever threaten to quit writing so people will tell you not to stop?
No. If I want to stop I will. Believe me, there are bigger fish to fry in life, then worrying if people will miss my blog. Those who really care will make an effort to stay in contact with me away from the blog and to me, that says it all.

7. Are you in therapy? If not, should you be? If so, is it helping?
No. Been there, done that. Not for me.

8. Do you delete mean comments? Do you fake nice ones?
Nope. Free speech people. Its a beautiful thing.

9. Have you ever rubbed one out while reading a blog? How about after?
Um. That’s a different question…

10. If your readers knew you in person, would they like you more or like you less?
I don’t know. I’d have to ask the ones I know. I haven’t had any complaints LOL.

11. Do you have a job?
Yes.

12. If someone offered you a decent salary to blog full-time without restrictions, would you do it?
Probably.

13. Which blogger do you want to meet in real life?
I’m down to meet anyone. New people are always cool. I’m sure if they are as genuine as they are in their blogs then they’d be cool no matter what.

14. Which bloggers have you made out with?
None.

15. Do you usually act like you have more money or less money than you really have?
Nope, that’s lame.. I say that as I sit in my leather chair in my big home wearing my Dior and about to get into my Gucci sheets.. HA!!

16. Does your family read your blog?
No. No one I know offline really does truthfully. I like it that way. This is my “world” away from my world.

17. How old is your blog?
A day away from being 2 years old. I’ve been blogging or involved in web design for 8 years now.

18. Do you get more than 1000 page views per day? Do you care?
No. Does it matter? No. If people like the site then great, if not then great. That’s the beauty of the web, there is something for everyone.

19. Do you have another secret blog in which you write about being slutty, or a liar?
No.

20. Have you ever given another blogger money for his/her writing?
No.

21. Do you report the money you earn from your blog on your taxes?
It’s the law…

22. Is blogging narcissistic?
Yeah, in a sense it is. It focuses on you, what’s going on with you, what happened to you, etc.. etc.. so fact of the matter is that to point it is but it also a means to expression which can be more of an outlet then being narcissistic.

23. Do you feel guilty when you don’t post for a long time?
Not really. You do or you dont, that’s how I see it.

24. Do you like John Mayer?
I don’t pay much attention to him as a person, but his music? OMG, I love his music.

25. Do you have enemies?
Not that I know of.

26. Are you lonely?
Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday I am! lol

27. Why bother?
To what? Live? Well because my parents decided that they would make a beautiful being if they got together and well in fact they did and so now you all are graced by my wonderful presence. You should feel so fortunate to know me, read my thoughts and even be able to say you have heard of me… LOL and if you believe any of that then I suggest scrolling up to question #5

I think that’s about it for updates. I feel like I’m forgetting something. Oh well, you’ll hear more from me, if I think of it later lol.

I am indebted to one of my uncles, forever. As a younger person, I, as I might have mentioned, didn’t have a dad. Sadly, before I could ever enjoy the usual father daughter things, he died. As time passed I always wished I could of had some of those “special moments” with him. Whether it was watching him fix a car or mow the lawn, eat my burned cookies or read me a bedtime story, watch TV together or go to a ballgame. I guess I just wanted to have something like that to remember. But you know even though I didn’t have him, I got something else which wasn’t bad at all, my uncle. I got to spend time with him and do things with him, I learned much from him and even though he wasn’t my dad it helped having him around. One of best times I remember with him was when he took me to my very first baseball game, it was around my birthday and I was excited as could be I grew up being a sports fan and he is as well, so it made it all the more fun. I remember walking into the stadium and seeing the grass and how green it was. The smell of the hot dogs and beer lol. I will always, ALWAYS remember that day. I hope that one day I can do the same. When I went to NY I wanted to badly to go to a Yankees game, it would be unbelievable. They weren’t in town at that point, so sadly, I couldn’t go, but I’ve been thinking you know what would be the ULTIMATE gift for my uncle? I was looking for/at the Yankees Spring Training Schedule! How cool would that be? Taking him to see the ULTIMATE in MLB teams? I can imagine how excited he’d be. What makes it more awesome is his son, my cousin, is a baseball player (not pro lol) so he could go as well. I think that would be an amazing way to say just a little thanks for not only being there for me but for giving me one of the most awesome memories I will ever have. What would make it better is it would be in the way it all started, so to speak. How fun!

I believe being able to express yourself in words is one of the most beautiful and truly heartwarming ways to touch a person. I like to think that I have a flare for words, although admittedly it’s far and few in-between. So, obviously on those special occasions when I can’t quite come up with something perfect to say, I turn to the greeting card. Sadly though, sometimes it’s hard to find the perfect one. I know with the season being where it is many people will be looking for cards to send to Mothers and Fathers Brothers and Sisters as well as friends. Those within business industry will also be looking for Christmas Cards Corporate for their workers and co-workers. Gallery Collection has quite the selection of beautiful cards for your business but also personal holiday needs. I can’t forget to mention they’ve also participated in “Solider’s Angels” which is proving greeting cards for families to send in care packages to their family members, as well they’ve included a card for the soldiers to send back home. So, when your words aren’t quite quite up to par, check out Gallery Collection
