All righty, then. I've won another couple of auctions on eBay for crafty things. I won a chart for a cross stitch sampler and a Sunset cross stitch kit of mice holding crafting classes in a sewing box. Too cute. There's a couple of more leaflets I'm watching, but other than that, I'm set for awhile. I'm finally up over 10 feedbacks, so I can do "buy it now." I've got some stuff of my own I want to get rid of, including some craft books.

I've been up since 5 a.m. (even though I went to bed at 11:45) because I have thumbnails for a restaurant logo due at 8 a.m. I need 20 and I've got about half done, but I have absolutely no motivation to do this today. It's dreary and rainy again today. I just want to crawl back into bed and call in to school, but this teacher actually teaches stuff and if I miss a day, I'll be waaaay behind.

Actually, I want to stay home and get my site figured out. I've got my templates all screwed up. I thought I understood which templates control what, but I guess I didn't. I was hoping that since my manager is being a dick and gave me a whopping 8 hours this week that I'd have time, but of course I have all sorts of homework this week. We also had to get all of our stuff out of the storage unit we had in Bennett by the end of April. We rented a U-Haul on Monday and got most of the stuff and then Marcus cleared the very last out last night. Monday was a total fiasco--the truck's door was broken, it hailed ALOT between Bennett and Watkins, we couldn't find a gas station near the U-Haul place that sold diesel and we ran out of gas, we didn't get a chance to eat dinner. Oh, well. It's over for now. We just have to do some major rearranging in the storage unit we have here. I need to get rid of a lot of stuff.

Enough, I've got to get back to the thumbnails.

I've been an eBay junkie lately. I've won two cross-stitch charts that I'm going to be working on after they arrive. The first is a chart titled "In Stitches" from Calico Crossroads and the second is a Dimensions charted titled "Sew Cozy." Yay me! There is one more auction today that I'm going to try to win. After that, enough crafts on eBay. I have plenty to keep me busy for a looooong time. I'm trying to make stuff to decorate my craft room, can you tell?

Man, have you guys seend the new iPod's that were introduced yesterday? Neat! I'm going to have to see some stuff on eBay and get me one of those. Apple also has a new online music service. It sounds intriguing.

OK, so I'm working on my layout and things are going to be a little wonky for a bit, especially in the comments templates and such while I make a new layout. Please be patient with me!!! Hopefully I'll have them tweaked tomorrow.

Marcus and I went to dinner at Uno's tonight and had sirloin tips. Mmmmm! Yummay! The manager even came over and gave us free dessert because he felt our dinner took way too long. Strawberry cheesecake. Double Yummay!!!

I've also gotten myself in deeper debt and purchased an Apple G4. After the totally crappy week I had at work (I don't really feel like rehasing the ugly details), I figured I'd better get a machine and get serious about my new career. I'm so tired of working with really, really stupid people.

Well, I guess I better get to bed since it's after midnight. I really don't want to go to work tomorrow.
