My site needs a refresh

I haven’t even had this design up for two months and I’ve hated it the day I ended up launching it. Tired of the colors, the huge size of it and the fact that it still isn’t making me want to blog more often. So I’m considering working on a new design for it but …

Happy Birthday, Steve!

So today is my boyfriend Steve’s 25th Birthday and of course any opportunity to use a picture of a birthday pug is fine by me. ;)
Happy Birthday to the person that stuck with me through the worst time of my life.

Trying to be normal

A few weeks ago Steve and I finally started going out versus staying here at my house. I’m able to transfer into a car with ease versus being unable to previously. We haven’t done too much yet as I haven’t wanted to go too crazy. We’ve done the usual like …

Breaking out of the mold

For almost a year I have been relying on premade themes from places like WooThemes and Elegant Themes for my personal site. I just didn’t have the time nor patience to devote development work to my own website. It definitely showed as I just didn’t feel like …

Patience is a necessity

On Tuesday of next it’ll have been three months since my accident. It’s so weird to see the progress I’ve made, which is a lot, but that I still have a lot more to go through in the upcoming months. Thanks so much to everyone that left comments, it meant a lot to …

My Road To Recovery

This post is long overdue, but I’m finally putting aside some time to write this. On July 9th I was finally released from the hospital after 32 days. 32 days that I can never get back, but 32 days I’ll never regret.
I don’t remember my accident at all. I …

Broken bones and a totaled car

On June 8th around 9:40pm on my way home I was in a car accident. I was turning left when I was tboned by a truck going 55mph.
I’d go into so much more detail but I’m typing this from my iPhone right now.
I suffered a fractured left wrist, a fractured left foot, a …

Playing catch up

I’ve yet again managed to allow my website to plummet off the deep end. I let it go for a few good reasons though. I had been extremely busy with Holdfire, and ended up focusing most of my energy towards it to get things accomplished. As usual it took me a little …

Trying new things out

For years I’ve stuck to the same software. Firefox for a browser, Thunderbird for email, iTunes for music, and Quicktime for movies. Recently I’ve gotten pretty tired of Thunderbird for it’s lack of other in-depth features. Then I ended up stumbling upon Postbox …

Jailbreaking your iPhone 3G (or iTouch.)

I've had my iPhone 3G since September, and for months I had been reading articles on jailbreaking the iPhone. It felt like so much work when reading through all of the articles found, but the process was so easy and quick. Since I'm using a Windows machine, I went ahead …

Live.com Spambot, I hate you.

A few weeks ago I read Jem's blog "Live.com Fake SERP Referrals Are Pissing Me Off" but at the time never had the issue myself. Well, shortly after her post I've been having the Live.com spambot hitting up a couple of my domain with one-keyword search referrals. 100% of …

Present Crisis Avoided!

For the first time in years I actually went Christmas shopping before Christmas Eve. Okay, so it was the day before but that still counts, right? I even went despite the fact that it had snowed 6.53 throughout the day, and was still falling on the ground. Not to …

Christmas shopping is stressful

The worst part about Christmas is picking out the right gift for someone. My mom's gift was easy. She's horrible with directions, and always ends up calling me to help her find her way to her destination. So of course the gift I got for her (and I believe it's safe to …

Favorite TV Shows of 2008

Over the years I haven't been active with TV series namely because I always forgot about them. I'd watch the first couple episodes and then I'd forget about them until years later. "Hey, I've never seen that episode!" Hell, even being on the internet I was lazy with …

Is It Really December Already?

I can't believe that it's already been almost two months since I last blogged. I honestly don't know why I lack the motivation to keep writing blogs here, but hopefully I can get back into the groove.

The same design has been up here at atourworst.org , and well I …

Goodbye Blackjack, hello iPhone

Well, almost two months into the job and things are still going very well. The only thing I still can't adjust to is that I wake up around 6:30am every morning, yet I still go to sleep around 12:30-1am. There are days when it doesn't affect me, but I have maybe 1-2 days …

Busy Bee

Oi, so I've opened up Wordpress several times to update my blog with updates on how work has been, but each time I either forget, get distracted or just don't want to write about what I've been up to. I'm finally just forcing myself to post right now just because I know …

Downtown Working Girl

Well, I had an interview on Friday with a webdesign/seo company downtown Chicago, and ended up getting offered the position during it. So of course I accepted! I'm starting Monday around noon since he has to set up my desk and computer, but it'll be a 9-5 salaried job. …

Putting things in order

I think I'm finally going to get my butt in gear and start working on my website again. I do kind of miss blogging, and I hate that I'm letting the site sink into a bit of a hole. Tomorrow I'm going to try to dedicate some of my time to working on a redesign. This …
