It seems that life has taken me for a bit of a ride.  I’m addicted to World of Warcraft but now I’m started to venture out of the game a bit.  I have even made a couple desktop wallpapers.  They are only 1680×1050, but it’s a start I suppose.  I entered a contest on Suzanne Woolcott’s blog and won a $21 gift certificate to spend in her store.  I got several new tubes and an element pack.  I used one of the new tubes and something from the element pack to make my newest wallpaper.  I’ll upload them to my website when I get a chance.

In other news, I no longer have a car.  It was up for inspection by the end of May and we couldn’t afford to do the repairs necessary for it to pass.  So we sold the  car.  We got just enough money to pay for my speeding ticket.  **sigh**  Pathetic I know.  However, we’ll be saving money as we don’t have to pay for car insurance for gas.  We have a friend close by that can take us places in emergency, and we’ll give her gas money or feed her as payment.  Mostly we are going to rely on the public transportation system.  We got a free month bus pass because we have Maine Care approved doctor appointments.  We can use the bus for anything though.  We just have to get the paper signed by someone when we go, which I seem to forget.  I’ve already had 2 out of the 3 appointments this month and keep forgetting to get it signed.  Which means I’ll have to go back to get them signed.  I’m such a scatter brain sometimes.

I keep wanted to create but when I open PSP and look through my artists’ folders nothing inspires me.  I can picture things in my head that I want to do but it just doesn’t seem to come out.  So I just close PSP up again and I go hide in World of Warcraft or read a book.  At the moment I’m reading Guilty Pleasures by Laurell K. Hamilton.  It’s the first book in her Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series.  I’ve already read all the books that I have, but there are 3 new books which I haven’t read and don’t even own yet.  I must remedy that asap.  lol

Ugh, I have to go catch the bus.  Have a great weekend!

Not too long ago I left the graphics world.  I’m no longer creating and at the moment I have no future plans to.  I’m sorry to say this.  I had a wonderful 6 years but the time has come for me to stop.  Hopefully I will come back but at the moment with no muse it’s quite difficult to imagine.  Who knows though what the future holds for me.

I’m heading out for the weekend.  I won’t be home until Sunday late afternoon early evening sometime.  I’m spending the weekend at my mother’s.  She needs some help around the house and wants to purchase a new computer and I told her not to do a thing without me.  lol  She’s completely computer illiterate and I want to help her get something that is ideal for her and not something big and over the top.  I don’t want her to be taken advantage of because she doesn’t know what is what.

I’ve been out of my sleeping pills for almost a week now and I’ve barely been sleeping.  I feel awful, I won’t be able to drive so I’m letting Dale sleep as long as possible so he can drive down to my mother’s.  She lives about 2 hours away.  Before we can go down though we have to meet his mother at her lawyer’s office so she can get information on going bankrupt.  :(  Talk about a full day.  I feel so nauseous from the lack of sleep.  I think I’ve barely slept 8 hours in 2 days.  Sometimes this is fine but I was actually trying to sleep so I’m miserable.  I’m actually snacking on saltines right now because my stomach is so upset.  I’m going to get some tea in a moment hoping that will help too.

Anyway, I hope you all have a great weekend.  See you when I get home!

Tonight I upgraded to version 2.7 from 2.65.  The admin side of things looks VERY different.  It’ll take some getting used to.  So far there are things that I like a lot better.  We’ll see how the rest goes.  :)  I also have to work on tags for my current theme week and add some new tags for my shop.  I’ve also got a new scrap kit in the works that will be a freebie kit.  I have lots of stuff in the works.  You’ll find out all about it here. 

Wow, talk about me getting motivated.  I’ve now got all my scrap kits posted here.  I’ve got 1 or 2 in the works and am hoping to get them finished soon.  Until then, for those new to my area of the net I hope you have fun with these goodies. 

I hope you all have a very happy, safe, and blessed 2009 and are spending it with those that you love.

I downloaded a theme from my membership over at Chatterbugs and everything is in the right order.  Yay!  I’ll now start adding things here now. 

Thanks Kathie for an awesome theme. 

Ok, so I’m almost there with setting up this thing.  I still can’t figure out how to change the background, or create a custom footer.  I thought I had figured out how to change the link colors but that didn’t work.

Now for some odd reason my column 1 is sitting between columns 2 and 3.  I have NO idea how that happened and I’m quite frustrated.

Why am I writing here when I know nobody is reading it yet?  Because I’m trying to get into the habit of writing more often than I do on my other blog.

Ok, so I’m setting everything up getting all my widgets organized.  I’m adding links (long ways to go there) and pages and what not.  The only thing I can’t find how to add is a link to the home page.  I think it’s hiding somewhere and doesn’t want to come out.  I mean I know I can click on the header image and it’ll take me to the homepage but what if others don’t know that?  I want to make it easy for them.

Also, I’m trying to find some good wordpress themes at least until I can figure out how to make my own.  I’ve seen some online but I want something with art that I use and not some generic stock art (unless it’s art I like and can credit lol).

Anyway, that’s where I’m at so far.  I think once I get all my links set up I will put a link on my MBL and LPP sites to lead her.  I’ll also make a post on my Scrap blog to send people here.  Lots to do, lots to do, but I’ll get there eventually. 

Hi there and welcome to my new blog.  Things aren’t quite set up yet, but I’m working on it.  :)  Once I get the layout set up and everything organized then I will start adding some content. 

Until then, it’s pretty empty around here.  lol
