I spend a lot of time online and have done for years and over that time many happy, sad, odd, nasty, fantastic things have happened to me online and off. This blog is about all of that and more.
Hey thanks for checking out my little blog. A bit about me: I'm a web designer for a Catholic Hospital
in Nebraska. I love my job and it's allowed me to learn so much about design and code etc etc. all at their expense, not mine, hehehe.
I have a daughter, she's nearly 12 and the pride of my life. You can check out her website at Sweetiepete.com.
She loves it when people sign her guestbook :) That's enough for this space. If you want to know more, read the blogs! :)
I put this together over the weekend. I was afraid my mom's works would be deleted by the evil Geocities at some point and I don't think I have any of her poetry/stories written down anywhere. So here is a site for my mom.
My aunt ended up being stuck in the ER over night on Friday due to high census in the hospital (meaning either no beds available, or beds available but no nurses to staff them). It's Monday now and she's still in. My daughter and I went to see her yesterday and she was so altered :( I'm not sure if it was the medications, the lack of sleep, the chemo or a combination of everything, but she just wasn't herself. My grandfather is telling me and my daughter that we need to start preparing for the eventuality of her death, as she seems to be on that downward spiral. It's easier said than done though. Part of me wants her suffering to end, and part of me feels guilty for that and wants her to stay with us so she can be with her family. She has a grandchild now whom she loves dearly (will probably be her only grandkid really) not to mention my daughter whom she also loves and has been so good to all her life. They're very close, Judy and my daughter. I wish I knew of a good way to handle this with her, she has a tendency to bottle up her emotions (wonder where she got that from). Whenever I try to talk to her about her grammy or about Judy she shrugs me off.
If anyone has any suggestions, leave me a comment.
Hmm. Well, the garage sale went fairly well. I sold my very first computer for fifty bucks. I got very good at haggling. I was a bit sad to see it go, but then again it was only taking up space in my closet. Still had Windows 3.1 on it and all. *shudder*. How did I ever function with that thing. I remember one time, when I was still fairly stupid about computers (oh shut up), I thought I'd see what that 'Format C:' thing was all about. Never never do it unless you know what the hell you're doing. I completely buggered it of course and couldn't find any backup disks, had to go out and buy a whole new OS for it. This pic sums me up pretty well back then:
But it's all a learning experience isn't it? Every day I learn some new little trick to make my life online easier. The single coolest trick I ever learned though was years ago with the invention of the 'alt-tab' trick. I am a multi-tasking queen. Right now I've got my Blog open, an MSN conversation, the Placebo forum (so I could find the picture above), my email, Word and Winamp open and I'm quite adept at flicking through them :)
