A prettier work environment

Something I really wish my boss would think about is Bush furniture. Our office is beyond drab and I’m quite tired of looking at it. Perhaps if our office felt more alive and full of color, I wouldn’t mind being there as much. I mean, I don’t mind it a whole lot, but I could mind it a lot less with some office seating furniture and maybe something on the walls.

The little mac that could

It really bugs me that I got my hands on Adobe Creative Suite 3 premium, yet my computer doesn’t have enough ram to even think about installing it. I really, really, reeeeeallly need/want more ram. It feels like the lack of memory is holding my computer back and making it feel slow in general, if that’s even how it works. I know this computer should not feel so slow, the guy laughed at me when I bought it because I was getting it for graphic design and he said, “nothing like hitting the fly with a hammer.”

Attack of the couches

One thing that I am not lacking in this house is home furniture, and I really sort of wish it would all just go away. I’m not sure how I aquired so much, but I’m hoping to come up with a good place to store it. I’d really like for the 3rd bedroom in the house to be put to use, even if it’s something for toally strange. I don’t care, I think it might open up the house some more which is always good. All this furniture is making me feel a little clostrophobic!

Count your words

As you can see I try to do quite a bit of paid blogging, and one of the important factos of a paid blog is usually the wordcount. Now, I dunno about you but I’ve become pretty sick of opening up Microsoft Word in order just to blog because I hate to even deal with a program like that on my home computer (not a whole lof ot ram going on in this thing)… so after doing a little bit of googling a came across a nice little javascript form that you can type up your entry in and hit “count words” to see how many you have. SWEET. Click here to checkcheckcheckcheck check it out.

False alarm

Back when I was living in the apartment, I obviously had to take Lola Bean outside to go use the bathroom, just like every other person who had a dog that didn’t want them crapping in those teeny, tiny, overpriced apartment. One weekend I noticed that she was acting funny, lethargic, sad, and really frightening poo. After that I was really considering going all out on her diet by looking into Organic dog food. I read up a lot on feeding dogs vegetables and all of that stuff. It was very interesting but seemed like it might get expensive for more than just one dog.

look into the lions eyes, you’ll get to the surprise

Man, oh man. When Paul and I went grocery shopping this past time, I made the mistake of getting a big bag of minis mix, with snickers, milkyway, milkyway midnight, 3 musketeers (gave those away, yuck) and twix. Every now and then I’ll actually manage to get myself to forget I have them, but when I do remember it’s dangerous. Well, I guess they’re not so bad, each candy is like a small bite of something, but they’re just sooo good.

I’d love to get away soon….

Months ago a woman I work with was asking others cruises because she was really interested in going on one. She asked if any of us had ever gone on a really cool one and what we thought and so on. FINALLY, just last week she went on her cruise. Even though she didn’t share much about how it went, it’s really had me thinking about how fun it would be to go on one myself!
