I know I promised everybody a link to the craft blog on Sunday, but I ran into a few snags with the template I downloaded. First of all, I'm a little frustrated by coding hacks that don't know how to nest elements properly. Second, this whole WP way of doing things is throwing me a little. I'm used to having my whole index in one template and this modular thing is a little annoying. As soon as I've got it all figured out, then you guys will get a link. Sorry for the delay.

Laura has the greatest advice and tips about organizing. I was just over at Organizing Junkie and saw the most cool of gadgets. Marcus and I definitely need one of these:


She found it over at Organize-It and it's called the Power Station Recharging Center. It's a little unit where you can charge all you electronic devices in one spot and contain the cord mess that usually goes along with it. This would give us one central place to charge all of our phones and stuff instead of having them at various plugs all over the house! It's reasonably priced, too. I think I'll choose the black one, though, when I get one. It's way more techy looking.

Why can't I ever think of something practical like this?

I'm feeling so blessed for how good my life is right now.

It feels really good to have two good, happy days in a row for the weekend. I let myself stay up late last night, sleep in today, have a nice lunch out with Marcus, took an afternoon nap after grocery shopping, made a nice dinner and relaxed for the evening surfing the Internet.

I didn't stress about housework, money, where I live. I just let myself enjoy the day.

*sigh* I would've been at the Police concert right now if I had won tickets. *sigh* My friend Russ went and had a good time last night.

I am not looking forward to work this week. My supervisor is on vacation and those who will be covering for him leave a lot to be desired with their managerial skills. I'm just hoping our work pace will be slow so they have little to freak out over. I can always find something to do back in the archive room to hide out if things get ugly. I am actually hoping that I can just sit with some operators and learn stuff. I did one small project all by myself last Friday, so I know I can do it, I just need to learn the specific things that need to be done for each type of job.

I saw one of my old teachers last Friday. She stopped in to chat with one of my coworkers about some freelance work he had for her. I really miss a lot of my old teachers. I must find a way to keep in touch before I lose contact forever. They were just too neat of people to lose in my life forever, y'know?

I am going to attend the Denver Media Group function on June 20th. There is going to be a presentation about Photoshop CS3 and since we just upgraded to the CS3 suite at work, it will be good to see if the presenter has any good information. I'm hoping the door prizes will be cool and I'll win one this time.

Today after work I had to stop by the oral surgeon's office for a follow-up appointment. I'm doing fine except for normal healing pain, so I thought about canceling. I decided to go anyway just in case the insurance company would use that against me to deny my claim or something. Fortunately, it looks as it is supposed to and I wasn't charged for an office visit.

Ever since then, though, I have not been able to quit playing with the loose flap of gums. I think I started that while I was bored stuck in traffic. Gah!

I stopped and got myself a Frappuccino from Starbucks on the way home because it was hot, my face hurt and I needed a beverage to make the rest of the ride home. I stopped at that 24-hour one on Colorado Blvd. The employees were too busy socializing in there (I guess a shift change was happening) and the guy making my drink rushed through it. I had big huge ice boulders in it that kept clogging up my straw. I was not happy.
