I need to finish Marcus' graphics I promised him. I'm having a really hard time with this one and I don't know why. Grrr. I also need to work on a new layout for me and find a template for my weight-loss blog. I've had absolutely no luck finding the one I had seen that I really liked (was probably a custom, not-free one anyway).

I'm trying to decide if I should dump the Thursday Thirteen meme. Even finishing on Wednesday night isn't getting me a whole lot of visitors and I certainly don't have time now that I'm employed to surf around to other participant's sites. It was a real chore to get it done this week and it wasn't all that interesting. Maybe I'll try to do one once a month or so if I'm feeling really inspired. I have to think on this.

OK, I've got to head off to the store. Marcus wants french toast for breakfast and we have no bread.

It's going to be non-stop for me today. I just printed a bunch of online coupons because after work, Dad and I are doing the bulk of the Thanksgiving shopping. I also have that two-hour premiere of Medium to watch tonight. Yay! I've got a graphic in progress for Marcus' website to finish, I need to send off a part-time job app after I finish updating my resume and write a cover letter. I've got three loads of laundry that need to be put away. I need to put a couple of things on eBay, too. Have a good Thursday, everybody!

OK, I'm feeling much better than yesterday. In addition to feeling kind of stupid, I felt a little sick, as well. I got plenty of rest yesterday, went to bed rather early for me and felt loads better today. So much so that I was really in a cleaning mood this morning. I was a little sad that I had to go to work because I really wished I could've taken advantage of it. Oh, well. Marcus smarted off that it was because I hate my job already. Quite the contrary. Anyway, I'm here at the old workplace helping Marcus rearrange and clean up his office. Looks like a tornado hit it. lol I hope some of the cleaning mood is around by the time I get home.

This one time, at band camp...no, seriously, I did go to band camp and was even a counselor for a few summers. One of the things that I used to love about our camp was the recreation building that had several Table Tennis and pool tables. Everybody wanted to use them and we would wait in line for our turn. It always amazed me how competitive you could get with someone else over paddles and a small plastic ball. Even the camp director couldn't resist squaring off against some of the campers! I had gotten to a point where I was actually quite good at it. Growing up, our family couldn't afford to get a real table. We tried to make one on our dining room table when I was in high school (mom bought a cheap kit), but it wasn't the same as playing on a regulation table.

It had totally slipped my mind how much I enjoyed playing and how I had promised myself that when I was an adult I would get myself a table until I saw Weird Al playing Table Tennis in his "White and Nerdy" video. Marcus and I had planned on getting a pool table once we get this house on a basement foundation, but I'm thinking we should get a Table Tennis table, too.

The art show last night was ok. It was good seeing people I hadn't seen in awhile. It's kind of sad seeing less art and more nursing school stuff. I wonder how long it will be before the graphic desgin program is totally gone. I'll be really surprised if there even is an art show next year. I guess we'll see.

Dad and I went out to the cemetary this morning to visit mom's grave. I spaced that they would be doing stuff out there at Fort Logan commemorating Veterans Day today. We stopped at BeauJo's for lunch on the way back. Those stuffed mushrooms I love so much were on a happy hour appetizer special of only $2.00, I got an order of them all to myself. YUM! I want to know how to make those. I can't quite recreate them. *sigh*

My neck is jacked up. I don't know what I did to it, but I was in so much pain this afternoon that I felt like I would puke everytime I stood up. It hasn't hurt this bad in a long time. I spent the afternoon on a heating pad watching X-Men 3: The Last Stand. I really wanted to do some cross stitch right now, but my neck hurts too bad to hold my head up right to work on it.

The weekend manager at my new job can use my help on her shifts, so I'm going to go in tomorrow to get a few extra hours. Yay for some more hours and some more experience. That will help since I'm not making squat with paid blogging right now.

With Christmas a mere six weeks away, I'm going to have to find some sort of part time retail or something to do in the evenings. I need to get my car fixed and registered so that I can quit using Marcus' other vehicle. I need to pay Marcus back the money I've borrowed. I need to get my bills caught up. My student loan that I put into forbearance will kick in again soon. *sigh*

I still can't find that template that I wanted to use for my wordpress installation. I went through all of my history and didn't come across it. I must have seen it more than a week before I started looking for it. Dang, there are a lot of wordpress template sites out there and most the designs SUCK!

OK, I'm gonna finish watching the episode of 24 (season 3) that I'm in the middle of and head to bed.
