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!

Several members to pixel sites have expired so I’m sad about that.  I can’t afford to purchase them either.  I think I need to update my wish list.  There are a couple sites I have a lifetime membership to and I don’t care for the sites anymore.  I should find out if I could gift my membership to someone else.

A few months ago I started playing World of Warcraft.  I’m sooooo addicted to that game.  I play it every chance I get.  Mostly I play with my husband, right now he’s not feeling well so he’s not playing so much.  I hope he gets better real soon so that we can play together again.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know what is going on with me.

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!

… to give you updates of all my creative endeavors.  Well here’s one.  I did a major update on my MBL website.  I have a new web set and layout.  For those of you that have been with me  awhile, you might recognize the current drop down menu.  :)  I am now using the drop down menu I had used prior to my previous layout.  The only difference between last time and this time is that I’m using tables again but I’m also using iframes so that I’m not having to use php.  I still only have to edit the menu on one page and not cloes to 200 pages.  Yes that’s right my website has close to 200 pages.  So editing the colors and whatnot is a large chore as I have to go into each page and make all the changes.  See, if I knew CSS I could create a css file and have it be automatic but I’m not THAT smart.  lol  I really should look into it as it would save me A LOT of time when I change the webset and I might be more inclined to change it more often.  I wonder how you people like change or if it would annoy people to see my web set change often.  I supposed I’ll never know.  I also removed several pages from my site that I thought people wouldn’t be interested in.  I removed my diploma page, my Juelle Web Design portfolio, my blinkies and a few other things I don’t remember.  I no longer have a link to my glitter sparkles on my main page but it is still linked on my Glitter Text Tutorial page.

Another update I did shortly before this new layout is that I reorganized my wallpaper pages which I had wanted to do for some time.  I also uploaded several wallpapers that I had made for just me.  Sometimes I would get bored and wanted to make a wallpaper but didn’t want to make it in each sizes so I only made it in my size.  So the 1280 x 800 and the 1680 x 1050 have several my wallpapers than other sizes.   To make it easier for everyone I gave each size it’s own page so that you can find your wallpapers easier.  I still have some wallpapers that I have not uploaded but I’m not going to either.  The big reason is that they are personal, I have some of my pets with Dale and I and the I don’t want everyone to have those.  I have one that is rated AC that has Dale’s name on it.  Yes, I made him a personal adult wallpaper.  LOL  It cheered him up one day too.  lol  Thank you Anthony Guerra!  hehe  2 new wallpapers that I have use Suzanne Woolcott’s work.  One of them I goofed and her website is wrong, I put http://gorjuss.co.us instead of http://gorjuss.co.uk.  So I have to fix that.  I really need someone to help me proof them before I release them to the public.  lol  I think I need a creative team to help me sometimes.  I have one lovely member and I really should have a few more.  lol  Anyone want to volunteer?  lol  Comment on this blog entry and let me know if you want to join.  I’ll give you pixel tags from my shop every once and a while.  I purchased Quick Tag so I’ll make a hidden page for only my creative team members with a few tags on it and rotate it every once and awhile.  If you don’t like pixel tags, give me an idea of what you think I could offer as a reward.  Maybe a personalized stat or wallpaper or something.

Another update that I did was put my guestbook on my site instead of having you go to bravenet’s site to sign it.  It’s still the same blog, it’s just not embedded into my site and I redid the colors to match my site.  :)  For some reason it wouldn’t center on my site so I fixed their wagon, I put it in a table to center it.  LOL  Man I just love tables sometimes. 

Well, I suppose I should go now and attempt to do something slightly productive.  I do have to fix that one new wallpaper.  Darn typos…

Here is the new link to download this kit which I have slightly renamed and reuploaded.  SBL_Mysticism For previews, see my previous post.

Today I have to go to court for a friend.  I have to be there no later than 8am which means I have to leave here no later than 5am.  Luckily I didn’t go to bed yesterday until around 2pm so I got a nice long sleep.  She was wrongfully accused of stealing from the animal shelter that she worked at.  I also worked at that animal shelter where I was wrongfully fired from.  So I’m going to testify on her side.  She says she’s being taken to trial, today was supposed to just be a hearing to decide if it was going to trial.  The owner/manager of the animal shelter said she wasn’t going to press charges but the stat pressed charges for her.  We shall see how things go, I hope it goes well for my friend.

Thursday morning I’m going to be leaving to go to Massachusetts to my BIL’s house.  While we are there he’s going to take my husband skiing.  I don’t ski so I’m going to stay at his house with a good book.  Then on Friday I’m hoping Dale and I can go look at some apartment complexes.  We are planning on moving down there so we want to see what the places look like that we are going to apply for.  I hope they are nice.  I’m pretty sure we’re not going to be able to actually see inside the apartment but we shall see how things go.  Wish us luck

I hope you all have a fabulous rest of the week and weekend. 

My 2 newest scrap kits over at AMI have been released.

Also, in case you haven’t noticed, I’m using a new theme.  :)  I hope you like it. 

To keep my head occupied while I’m creating I’m also watching Babylon 5.  It was a great sci-fi show that ran for 5 years.  It’s no star trek but it’s pretty good just the same.  It hasn’t been on tv for awhile as far as I know but you could always rent it.  :)  I think it’s on Netflix.
