Baby Steps

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

Most of you are probably aware that I’m trying to lose weight. For those of you who don’t know, are you paying attention to me?? *sniff* Okay, just kidding, but you can follow my progress over at Jenn Loses Weight. I’ll refrain from adding a hopefully behind that. Progress is slow, makes me wish I was willing to do the Miracle burn thing, or something, but that’s not the way I’m going to do it. Every little bit at a time. Baby steps, we’ll get there.

SPS 10/21/07

I don’t have time to do a big write-up, as I should be in bed already, but I wanted to get this up before I did! took this picture last night, actually, so there’s no reason I shouldn’t have had this up already LOL

Tomorrow morning, I’ll be off to DigiCass to visit everyone else who participated in a more timely fashion today.

And We’re Back

Sunday, October 21st, 2007

Well, we were never gone, since the blog still functioned with the errors up top. But now we can get back to the regularly scheduled programming of talking about everything from progesterone to dryer sheets. (I like Bounce with Febreze- fresh scent, with the Tide Febreze to match, of course!)
I still am not sure exactly what happened with the error, but it probably had something to do with Photopress. I found a magic little button in my cpanel called “repair database” which made the errors POOF, so hopefully they won’t be back. Thanks to everyone who helped me look into the problem!

Blog Errors

Saturday, October 20th, 2007

Well, I came over here with the intention of writing about discount home theater seating, only to discover my blog developed a string of errors overnight. I’ve spent some time looking and trying to find the cause of the error, but I’m not having much luck. Anything I’ve found out there doesn’t make sense to me. I didn’t change anything before the errors cropped up, so I don’t even know where to start!
The error looks like this:
Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: No ending delimiter ‘!’ found in /home/footpri1/public_html/wp-includes/classes.php on line 95

If you’ve got an idea of how to help me fix the problem, I just might love you forever! It also appears to be only on some pages– it’s on the main page, but not the individual page for this post. It’s also in the manage tab on the admin side.

After the Storm

Friday, October 19th, 2007

Well, my area was one of many that had nasty storms rip through last night, resulting in tornado touch downs. I was trying to find a link for you guys to read about it for yourselves, but everything I’m finding was updated long enough ago to be mostly irrelevant. I’m sure the reports will be rapidly changing as the sun comes up anyways.
The tornadoes actually touched down probably 20-30 minutes away from where I’m at, and that whole area is shut down and under a state of emergency. So far, the reports are fairly promising, despite the damage. As of right now, they believe that everyone is accounted for, and only have minor injuries. Hopefully it stays that way!

Nice Bwinker!

more funny pictures

HAHA! Can you hear me laughing from wherever you are at?? Anyone who has ever ridden in a car I am driving knows that I am a yeller. I’m not an aggressive driver, but I yell at the other drivers. It makes me feel better. It amuses my passengers. I’ve been known to be like this cat. Though it’s usually me yelling “Nice turn signal, (expletive of choice)!”

My favorite, though, is all of the teenage drivers around here driving Daddy’s car, thinking that they really are hot stuff. They’ve got a Chrysler 300 accessory hanging from the rear view mirror so big, I’m sure they can’t possible see out the window. And don’t forget the three friends in the car goofing off, and the cell phone plastered to their ears. To this person I say: when I get a mile down the road, and I pass you because the cop has you pulled over, or you’ve run your car into the person in front of you… I bet you feel real cool now!

Is it Time for Bed Yet?

Wednesday, October 17th, 2007

Oh my goodness… I survived today, but I’m not sure how much longer I’m going to last. I got out of bed at 3:30 this morning (whimper), and made it to work shortly before 5. Honestly, I was FINE until I got to my regular time, got up to my own desk where it was quiet, and I was alone and suddenly I was tired! Love how that works!! I didn’t really start feeling it, other than a headache, until after lunch. As they say, misery loves company, so when Gary cut out shortly after one, it got a whole lot more difficult! I don’t blame him though– he’d been up since 12:30. The last stretch was definitely the hardest. Luckily, I anticipated this, and made a visit to the library last night to get a book to keep myself occupied with this afternoon.

Now I’m at home, and I’m definitely going to try to stay up until a little closer to my bedtime, but I don’t know that that’s going to happen. I’d been thinking about getting up a little earlier in the morning to get some exercise in before work, but now I’m thinking (more so than I was before) that I must be crazy for even considering it! Obviously I wouldn’t be getting up at 3:30, but I’d definitely be up well before 5. I just need to get that exercise equipment that you strap on, and it does the exercise for you. Yeah, that sounds good. ;) Nah, good old fashioned hard work for me. But sleep first.

Early to Bed, Early to Rise

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

It’s 5:15 and I’m already getting sleepy. Normally, this would be annoying. Today however, this is a very good thing. I need to go to bed early, so being tired will definitely help with that. Why am I going to bed early on a Tuesday night?? (Which just so happens to be my favorite TV night, just for the record)
Tomorrow, I have to be AT work at FIVE AM! Normally, I get out of bed at 5:30. Tomorrow at 5:30, I will have been at work for half an hour already. Man, that’s painful just thinking about it! I already changed into pajamas, but I’m going to have to put clothes back on in a minute and run out to get gas in the car. My gas light came on on my way home from work, and I am definitely NOT leaving early enough to stop at the gas station in the morning!
I won’t have access to my computer for the extra two hours either… boo… I’ll be in the hallway being bored. I don’t think I can get away with a book either. Oh well, it’s just one day, I think I can survive!

Yucky Morning

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

What a yucky morning! It was raining when I got here, and now it’s about 8:40am and it’s still dark outside. Well, it’s supposed to be light out, but it’s so rainy, and foggy and dreary that you can’t hardly tell!
I did some running around last night, got taco salad fixings, Boss Day supplies and my candy for both trick-or-treating and for work, but I forgot my medical supplies. (By that, of course, I mean ibuprofen.) Wouldn’t you know it, I woke up with a nice sized headache this morning. I think I might have Aleve in my purse… if not, I’ll be raiding the company store over my lunch hour for some kind of pain reliever!
In the meantime though, I’m just going to hope that the weather clears up. It’s not looking too promising though– weather.com says it’s going to be raining all day. Oh well.

Ask and You Shall Receive

Monday, October 15th, 2007

I’ve been stressing out about money the last couple of paychecks, but this one especially. Between making my credit card payments, paying the ER bill, and renewing my license plates, there just wasn’t enough money left for things like groceries, lunch at work and gas in my car. I was trying to figure out what I was going to not get. I have to have gas in my car in order to get to work… can’t really go without lunch, but I can’t bring a lunch if I can’t buy groceries either. You get the idea.
Well, since my plates expire today, I finally got around to renewing them last night. After I got all my information punched in, I discovered that my plates cost about $40 less than I thought they were going to. That’s me sighing with relief. I’m still stressed about the money situation, but I’m breathing a little easier right now since I don’t have to choose between fuel for my car and fuel for my body!
