| This is the personal weblog of a 21 year-old freelance designer from Long Island, NY. I'm going through the ups and downs that are connected to losing my best friend to Fibromyalgia and I'm working 18 hour days to pay for school and just life in general. I can be both sarcastic and serious all at the same time...makes for an interesting read. |

| Not a cloud in the sky… |
| 2008-05-06 11:41:23 |
Today is one of those days where you can look out the window and know for sure that it’s going to be absolutely fantastic. The estimated high is around 70°F(21°C for Bronnie) and with a fantastically clear sky the amount of sun that my garden is getting is wonderful. I went out there [...]...

| Difficult Morning |
| 2008-05-01 10:11:23 |
I’ve only been up for an hour and it’s looking to be a pretty stressful day. For the past couple of days I’ve been working on quite a few different websites. I did a PSD to Wordpress convert for Jackie. I’m currently working on another Wordpress convert for a client I picked up on GAF [...]...

| Spring has sprung! |
| 2008-04-23 12:46:21 |
After a few chilly days, Spring has finally come back to Delmarva. I woke up today with a lot of energy and hopefully that’ll help me get through the long day of work that I have ahead of me. I’m almost done on a few templates I’ve been working on and then I’m going to [...]...

| The LONG Weekly Breakdown |
| 2008-04-18 00:01:36 |
It’s been quite a week, if I had the energy I probably would have updated sooner but when daily life gets in the way - a blog really isn’t a priority. I’ll break it down into categories so you can skip the areas you probably won’t care about. I also had to throw [...]...

| Still Searching |
| 2008-04-11 11:55:15 |
I’m still kind of set on getting myself out of the house for a real vacation. Yes, going up to New Jersey at the end of the month doesn’t look like a possibility right now but I do hope to be able to get up there the following month depending on what’s going on [...]...

| Internal Alarm… |
| 2008-04-11 11:19:31 |
I’m really not sure why but my schedule is beyond screwed up right now. I’ve finally got some work to do thanks to a new contract position but for my initial project I stayed up until about 5am putting a lot of finishing touches on the photoshop aspect of things. I rolled into [...]...

| Taking a Break |
| 2008-04-10 01:46:05 |
I’ve been working on saving up some money so Sean and I can go away at the end of the month. The hotel is complimentary, as is a lot of the amenities, it’s just the cost of gas and tolls to get up there, plus some minor spending on a slot machine or [...]...

| Reorganized & Unhealthy |
| 2008-04-08 12:38:32 |
I know I haven’t updated in a while but it has a lot to do with how busy I’ve been for the past five/six days. Karen and I were talking the other night in the kitchen, which is a typical thing for us, and the topic of clearing up her desk area (in the kitchen) [...]...

| Smells Clean! |
| 2008-04-02 01:30:55 |
The other day I was doing some of my regular shopping and went to pick up some refills for my Fabreeze Dual-Scent Plugin. They didn’t have the scents that I was looking for and I wound up picking up one of the new Renuzit Tri-Scents thanks to my trusty starter-kit coupon and I [...]...

| OOh! It works! |
| 2008-04-02 00:29:18 |
I’m finally back in the office, my back is feeling up to sitting in this god awful chair. I’m playing around with Leopard, and Parallels Desktop because Sean was lucky enough to figure out what was going wrong with the routes we were taking. It required a lot of Linux editing and that’s [...]...

| Just itching to go… |
| 2008-04-01 10:35:18 |
While I know money isn’t that great right now, I really hope to be able to get up to New York soon. I called my father last night and while things seem to be going OK there’s still that wish for me to be up there. My father’s birthday is coming [...]...

| Not so Great… |
| 2008-03-30 14:30:01 |
I’m unsure as to how it happened but I’ve managed to throw my back out. For the past couple of weeks it’s been increasingly sore. Yesterday it felt worse than usual and after laying down for a little while my back completely locked up and won’t unlock no matter what I do. It’s still bothering [...]...

| Time for a change… |
| 2008-03-28 21:56:25 |
Since I spent so much time trying to get acidgloss.net back up and running, I decided that a little theme alteration was needed here. As far as I’m concerned, March is over. There are only a few days left and I already show my Irish pride with a tattoo so having the theme [...]...

| Don’t answer the phone! |
| 2008-03-28 09:12:24 |
For the past few hours a few different phone numbers have been calling the house. Originally I thought it was merely a prank but supposedly I’m not the only one receiving these phone calls. If you see any of the following numbers show up on your caller ID, please be sure to avoid [...]...

It’s been a pretty hectic week. I’m still waiting on word from my Interview last Friday. I called on Monday and was told that they’re still conducting interviews so I should try back in a few days, I just called back about 20 minutes ago and they’re still doing interviews. I’m a very patient person [...]...

| 2008-03-23 13:13:52 |
It’s Easter Sunday and while I haven’t really done anything yet, I have accomplished quite a bit over the past weekend so I can sit back and relax for a while until I start all of the cooking for dinner tonight. I’m not going too crazy with dinner. I’m throwing a ham in the oven, [...]...

| Little too early… |
| 2008-03-21 06:10:56 |
It’s 7am, I’ve been up for about 15 minutes. My first interview of the day is at 9am for the full-time IT position. I’m hoping it goes well and I get a decent hourly wage to be able to make up for the loss with the paid blogging and lack of business-based design work right [...]...

| Oh boy… |
| 2008-03-19 15:02:31 |
Last night it finally hit me that there’s a stack of unpaid bills and recurring payments coming out of my bank account towards the loan and the credit cards. I quickly got my butt in gear and sent off so many resumes I don’t even remember half of the companies I’d applied to. The ones [...]...

| 2008-03-18 14:07:48 |
It’s my hope that sometime over the course of the next two months, I’m able to hop in the car and take a trip up to New York to visit family. With cancer spreading like wildfire, and the Christening of my cousin - the trip would definitely be worth it. My issue right [...]...

| Stupid CSS Attributes |
| 2008-03-15 16:43:24 |
I’m still not done with the template I started a few days ago. It’s not that I’m slacking off or anything , it’s just that I haven’t been able to get some key CSS aspects working. There’s something with “the loop” in Wordpress that’s stopping me from getting everything to properly load on the main [...]...

As many of you know, I’m still looking into colleges. I’m leaning towards Devry right now but that’s because they have exactly what I’m looking for. A quick two-year degree that I can complete in six months. I’m going to need financial aid and all kinds of things in order to afford [...]...

| Keeping Busy |
| 2008-03-15 16:16:09 |
I did quite a bit of cleaning yesterday. I went into the laundry room and it looked as though a few laundry bins had exploded all over the room. So I straightened everything up and finally got around to doing my own laundry. After I was done with that I started on everything else in [...]...

| Hrm, not bad. |
| 2008-03-13 11:53:43 |
So I’m working on a template for a client and I have to say, I like it way too much. So much so that I think I’m going to change a few key aspects of the design and then use it as the new template on acidgloss.net. It looks more like a CNN kind of [...]...

| 2008-03-11 20:42:22 |
I’m not sure if it’s from my previous stomach ache today or if it’s got something to do with all of the chaos in the house right now, but my head is throbbing. It’s not my usual eye headache from looking at the screen, it’s kind of bouncing around all over. I’ve got myself setup [...]...

| Nintendo Wii |
| 2008-03-11 19:54:16 |
I know that I was lucky enough to get mine last year but there are still people waiting desperately to pick up a Wii. I have to say that it’s one of the best systems out there when it comes to having fun. A lot of people purchased a PS3 over the course [...]...

| Talk about surprise. |
| 2008-03-09 22:04:39 |
I’ve frantically ran around the house to get some final cleaning in. Why? About 10pm we got a phone call from Karen’s sister stating that she’s been on the road since about 5pm this afternoon to get down here. Unfortunately she got lost in Eastern Pennsylvania so now that she’s back on the right track [...]...

| Odd. |
| 2008-03-08 19:16:26 |
After about 13 hours of downtime, it seems like all .nu’s that weren’t directly registered through nunames.nu are back up and running. This is the third time it’s happened during the life of my domain and I don’t really understand why. Either way everything is back up and I guess that’s all that matters.
It’s been [...]...

I know I’m late again but I finally got around to getting the March template up and running. I have no idea how it looks on the Mac because I haven’t made much of an effort to go into the office lately. I have my laptop and I’m enjoying flipping through 400+ channels [...]...

| WHY IS THE WORLD SO SCREWED UP!? |
| 2008-02-21 14:35:09 |
It’s another one of those days where everything that could possibly go wrong…can.
I woke up this morning with the intent of just going to Wal-mart and picking up everything I need for Bella and myself and then just coming home and relaxing for a while until Lost comes on tonight.
About two hours ago Karen called [...]...

| Candy, may you rest in peace. |
| 2008-02-21 11:17:26 |
We put Candy to sleep on Tuesday at 4pm. After a bad weekend and a lot of tears Karen came to the decision that Candy would be better off being put to sleep so that she could not suffer anymore. I received a phone call this morning letting us know that her ashes [...]...

| Happy Valentines Day |
| 2008-02-14 10:05:40 |
I don’t typically do this but I was in the mood for photo posting today so that’s primarily what this entry will be.
It’s Valentine’s Day and Sean being the romantic he is typically doesn’t make a big deal out of things, publicly. We discussed what was going to happen this year and based on [...]...

| 2008-02-13 10:57:27 |
I’ve been working extra hard on getting my totals up for the month. I slacked off for about a week and now I’m so far behind I wonder if I’ll make enough to cover my taxes this year. There are a few big write-offs though, so that’ll certainly help me out. With [...]...

| Talk about pay day… |
| 2008-02-12 11:49:24 |
I have to say I’m a bit shocked about the news I found on MSNBC this afternoon. I missed part one of the story but part two told me more than I really needed to know.
You walk into Best Buy with a mission to purchase a new laptop to use for work. You [...]...

Have any of you seen the commercial for the new program called Lifelock? They’re a service that protects your identity, they’re so confident that their systems are secure that the representative of the program actually lists his social security number in public in hopes that someone attempts to use it so that they [...]...

| Mars Edit |
| 2008-02-11 14:46:06 |
So I’ve been using this MarsEdit software for the last two days and I have to say I’m growing more and more fond of it. I had to do a little .htaccess altering in order to get it to work with my Wordpress blogs but that’s a server based thing that needed to be [...]...

| 2008-02-11 14:36:43 |
There are only a few days before Valentine’s day and I know for sure that Sean and I aren’t doing very much this year. We were originally going to go out to dinner but then a few bills sprung up and we really just can’t afford things like that at this point in time. [...]...

| 2008-02-11 14:18:53 |
They just walked in the door about ten minutes ago. Candy has an enlarged heart and theirs fluid behind it. She’s now back on numerous medications and is receiving a specialized senior diet. I’m sure that’s going to be rough considering she’s used to pasta, chicken and other table-food that dogs typically [...]...

| Not a good day. |
| 2008-02-11 12:49:13 |
I’m in a funk right now because of a rather hectic morning. A little over an hour ago, Karen’s dog made a horrible crying/moaning sound and collapsed. She’s 16 years-old, with a level 3 heart murmur, arthritis and a thyroid problem. Yesterday she had a similar episode where she just fell over, [...]...

| 2008-02-10 12:03:48 |
I just downloaded this new program, Mars Edit, I’m trying it out for 30-days to see if I like it or not. It allows me to log into all of my blogs by only using one program. Now while there is an option for “Wordpress” I did experience some trouble with getting things [...]...
