Domestic Geek

I have got a couple (2) of Vox invites if anybody wants to try that blogging medium out. Leave me a comment with your email addy.

Have I mentioned before how Yoshi is the man? Well, he is.

Not only did he code an Expression Engine Linklink module so I could get away from blogrolling, he was the first to sponsor me in this year's Blogathon and now he has helped me implement Dynamic Headers for the post titles on this here old website. Thanks, Yoshi!

Not that I have huge readership, but go Sponsor Yoshi for the Blogathon if you can. He's blogging on behalf of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

Yoshi, you rock!

Happy Saturday, Everybody!

Thanks to everybody that left a comment or emailed me directly that you read my blog. I was seriously trying to evaluate if writing stuff here is even worth my time. If nobody was coming here except the people looking for the Toys 'R Us Bunny Commercial every Easter, then really, what is the point? Hopefully, in the coming months, the content here will be a little more interesting!

I've been taking some serious looks at my life and what I do day-to-day. Serious changes are in order. What I've been doing for so long is obviously not working and i'm tired of it. I may not write about all or any of it here...we'll see.

Right now, I have a craft room mess to tackle.

Does anybody actually read this thing besides my Dad and Marcus...or am I totally wasting my time with this?

It's no secret that I hate Blogrolling. Luckily there haven't been as many problems as there was a year ago, but I wanted the recently updated feature and most times it doesn't work anyway. I still end up going through most of my links to see if anybody has anything new. So, I saw awhile back that Yoshi was working on an Expression Engine Linklist module. He finally finished and released it, so I took the time this weekend to download and try it. I need to figure out how to customize it to my liking, but now I no longer have to watch my site spin while it tries to load stuff from blogrolling.com! I like the little favicons showing up. I need to get off my duff and make one. I used to have one when this place was LaDonnaBlog. Oh, well...someday!

I started working on my design business web site yesterday. Marcus bought me a starter set of business cards. Hopefully I'll be up and running for business by next week. I really need to find a client. Most of the designers I've taked to say they get business by word-of-mouth. Unfortunately, you need clients to get clients! There are some things going on at the job that I really hate, but I've decided not to air work crap here. I will say, however, that I've got some confidence in my design ability now and it's time I start making what my skills are really worth.

I'm poor. It's been a long time since I've been this bad off financially. Marcus says it's the growing pains of escaping pizza and that things will get better. I need to make them better NOW. I don't have money for anything extra...like food. LOL This week I'll be getting rid of everything totally unnecessary on eBay to raise cash. In addition to the necessities in life, I was a vacation, I want to move, I want a monitor that isn't fuzzy, I was a faster Mac. All these darned things take MONEY!

The exercise regimine gets restarted this week. I haven't gained weight, but I am terribly out of shape. Desk jobs suck. I didn't realize how much exercise I got making dough, but a walk around the park with Marcus on Saturday totally kicked my ass! I was so sore yesterday, I could barely move--FROM WALKING! I guess it will be time to resurrect the old Loser blog, too.

OK, my lunch is over, so I had better find something to do here at work.
