Randomness

Are you wearing purple?!

I sure am! Not many people knew about spirit day today so I was one of the few, but I will wear it proud!!

I just got a huge craving for chips and salsa. I wish store bought chips were half as good as the kind you get in restaurants like Las Palmas or Chuy’s. I’d say Baja Fresh if the one we had downtown hadn’t disappeared. I say Chuy’s because they pretty much stole Baja’s chip recipe, it’s obvious.

I’m ready for this lame day to be over. It’s been dragging for me. I have to make a stop at the store to buy a new xbox headset because I managed to drop and break ours last night. D’oh!

Tired

I’m exhausted today. I don’t know how I’m still awake right now. I’ve been up browsing engagement rings (don’t even ask me why; I’ve already got one that I love!) and trying to decide if I want to attempt staying up to start an account with Verizon so I can pre-order the new iphone tomorrow, or if I should try my luck at an upgrade with at&t.

I’m leaning toward Verizon at this point because it’s faster and I hear you get better coverage, but that means I’ll have to pay $175 to cancel with at&t… but at the same time, do I really want to be stuck with a slower carrier for two more years?

I just can’t decide! I want someone to decide for me, but so far no one has volunteered ;) Oh my first word problems, let me show you them.

Today, we…

Had another lazy day! I am on vacation for the week while Lo’s baby sitter has surgery so we’ve been able to spend time cuddling and goofing around on weekdays! Sadly it rained and was gloomy all day yesterday, and today has been the same. I adore being on staycation, though, and it makes me feel happy to spend all this time with her. Today, we had breakfast and got dressed to go to the store.

I discovered our Kroger now has these awesome car buggies! I didn’t hear a peep out of Lo during our short shopping trip, so I will definitely head to Kroger any time I need to do some shopping with her in tow.

After Kroger we came home and played hide-and-seek outside until lunch time. After we ate, Lo oddly wanted to take a bath (she normally has her bath before bed) but a bath before her nap sounded like a great idea to me!

Then a bunch of boring stuff happened while she was sleeping (cleaning) and Vernon got home just a few minutes before she woke up. Before we ran to the store I got a huge pot of spaghetti sauce cooking in the crock pot. I love love LOVE my crock pot, being off and having dinner cook itself is amazing. I’m taking advantage of my time off to find and try out new work friendly recipes.

Tonight I am looking forward to the Teen Mom finale and cuddling up with my Vernon :)

Saturday 9

Saturday 9 – Ready or Not

1. When severe weather happens, generally speaking, are you ready for it?
Generally speaking, I think we do okay in severe weather. We always have some sort of candles if there were to be a power outage along with a decent amount of food to get by on.

2. If you could wake up tomorrow with a new talent, what would it be?
I would love to be able to paint or play an instrument.

3. What do you strive for in life?
Happiness and love.

4. If you were given a vacation home and you could have it anywhere, what location would you choose?
This is hard! Definitely on the beach somewhere.

5. Do you feel energized or drained by being in a group situation? If the answer is “it depends,” on what does it depend?
I’m not sure… probably drained. People annoy me, and being annoyed is draining.

6. When you’re sick do you take “sick days” or do you force yourself to continue working?
I will go to work if I can get up and get myself there as long as I won’t get anyone else sick.

7. What is your absolute favorite piece of furniture you have and why?
My favorite piece of furniture is definitely my bed! Especially now that Lo has her own and I feel like our bedroom is ours again.

8. When you go out, where do you like to go? What do you like to do?
I love to go shopping and go out to eat!

9. How’s life? Is it treating you well right now?
Great :)

Only seven weeks left…

Until Halloween! I’m kind of upset about it because it falls on a Monday this year, and I have to work late on Mondays. I am going to see if I can leave early though (which I need to do STAT before someone else tries to before me) because this will be Lo’s first Halloween where she can trick-or-treat. I’m just hoping my boss will be cool with it because I would be heart broken if I miss it.

That being said, I’ve been looking at costumes and am excited to have found costume kingdom coupons at dropdowndeals! I try to never buy online without some sort of coupon code so after narrowing down my costume choices on Costume Kingdom, I am so excited to discover that I can get great discounts on my order!

Gross

This week when I went to get Lo settled into her car seat I realized it was SOAKED but I have not been able to figure out why. Then I realized the entire floorboard along with my land rover rubber mats got really wet as well. And of course my car has started to wreak because of it!

Don’t you have when that happens?

Tonight we were headed out and I mentioned that my car was stinky from being wet and Vernon told me that I supposedly left Lo’s door wide open after getting home one evening and of course it rained that night. I have no recollection of this at all!

Also, while out tonight, I realized my debit card is missing :( I really hope I find it.

That was a close one

ikoniOMG! I had the most stressful time with boogher.com today.

It all started when the primary domain connected to my hosting expired. I was using freckleface.org when I first purchased the account (years ago), so the only thing I used it for was to manage my hosted domains. When I realized it had infact expired, I decided I did not want to waste another $10 to renew it when I don’t even really use it.

So I got a wild hair up my bum and decided I wanted to transfer the primary domain from freckleface.org to boogher.com, since I know I will always blog here. I hopped on their live chat to figure out if it would be a complicated process, and was directed to a link explaining how to do this myself. I am usually really good at figuring things like that out, but it made no sense to me. So back to the live chat I went, hoping for either an explanation of the step I was stuck on, or to have someone do it for me.

He did get everything switched over for me, but somehow a lot my files were lost. Cue panic. Yes, I backed everything up but was having major issues getting my WordPress entries imported back in. Everything I tried was not working, I would get MySQL errors left and right. Finally when I no longer got an error, boogher.com was nothing but a white page.

I could see that everything was loaded into the database, I could see my blog info and entries, comments, everything… but nothing would load. Finally I decided to pull up my wp-admin and sure enough, it had me update my database. But still, nothing. Once I got logged in, I upgraded my WordPress install and TA-DA!

All fixed :) I’m so happy to be up and running again, as well as not having to pay for a useless domain. I should’ve switched them forever ago!
