Labor

Wednesday, August 9th, 2000

Sheesh. Jeez Ton!… Scare the freak out of us. Tonya freaked us all out today. We thought she might go into labor early. Worrying my mother, and everyone else. Alas, she’s fine, and she’s got another month to get bigger!

Today I felt kind of ill. I’m not sure if it was a stomach bug or what, but I had that vomitous feeling all day. That was not fun.

I’m hoping to next week, seriously start work on this site. I’ve kind of neglected it. The Skittles Cam has gained in popularity, and so I am working hard to keep up with people. Ack! I haven’t really announced this site to anyone, so it’s not really ready. I’m just writing in the diary, because it gives me a place to let some stuff out. You know… digital stress relief!

My Carpal Tunnel has been acting up. I am trying to practice taking breaks from the computer. I had even planned to do a 3 mile walk today, until my vomitous feelings came about. Yeah, that was fun.. not. But I’m remembering that I need to get out.

2 more days until my littlest niece turns 2. She’s getting so big! I miss my munchkins. I like being able to be a kid again with them. It’s just a nice feeling. I can color in coloring books, build stuff and have fun. Ahhhhhhhhhh.

I think I’m going to get going now. I’m starting to get some tingling… and that’s not good. Later…

Radio Online

Saturday, August 5th, 2000

Well. Today I stayed in the house almost the whole day. Josh and I did manage to exit for a few hours. I did some shopping for Shay’s birthday presents. I feel sufficed. I resisted buying toys. She and Brittany have too many toys. They have so many toys that even with half of them in the attic, there are still too many!

I have been able to listen to WTKS. I love that station. It’s in Orlando, and plays great music on the weekend. Well, great according to my tastes. Sunday Night Vinyl is great. Check it out at www.wtks.com I also like WBTZ in Burlington. You can listen to them over the net as well. They are at www.999thebuzz.com They play good music all week and weekend. The buzz plays great music only on the weekend, and talk during the week. Good talk though.

Tomorrow is the computer show. I’m buying myself a new 3d graphics card. I haven’t played my Star Wars Pod Racer game in so long I am suffering from withdrawl. Yes, a girl who likes to play computer games. Men out there…. I LIKE QUAKE! I am of the type that prefers to see the blood and parts fly, to know I’ve blasted something to pieces… rather than them just dying. I know, I know. That’s sick… but it’s a good release. However, I don’t play quake much anymore. I’m a busy person, even if it doesn’t seem that way.

My big next project/quest is to organize photos and if I get daring (and really bored), to scan them all in! Yeah, right. That will never happen. The most organized I got was to sort the small and large photos.

I am hoping to do something for this site. I want to get back into creating web graphics. I used to do it frequently and would like to get back into it. Motivate me folks, ok?

I’m glad to say that the Republican National Convention is over. The coverage of that was excedingly annoying. If I want to watch anything political, I check out C-Span. I just get aggrevated by it.

Ok, I think I’ll chill with some more WTKS.. Real Radio…. Till later…!

Cameras

Wednesday, August 2nd, 2000

I’ve been working on stuff for the Skittles Cam all day. It’s been fun. I am almost done with another site I am doing for someone. I have a few other things to do, but I have to wait a little while.

I am debating on what type of Digital Camera to buy. My father has a Sony Mavica, and I got to play with it a bit. I admit the ability to use the floppy is quite nice, but it is a bit hefty in price. Maybe if I start saving now, I can “give myself” one for my birthday! I can wish right? Ok, maybe I’ll win the lottery or something and then I can buy myself one! Nope, still nothing.

I recently heard from someone I went to high school with. Hi Julia! It’s always nice to hear from people you knew. It reminds you of “where you came from.” I find myself so busy lately that I hardly ever have time to write people. And when I do have time, it’s not anywhere I want to be writing.

Why are Americans so darn busy? We are constantly in a rush, but yet we are always late. Maybe we all need to take courses in organizing and planning our lives, while we are young. That would be helpful. Of course we all “know” how to be organized, we just don’t have the time. That’s what it seems to be.

Shay will be turning 2 soon. She’s getting so big! Brittany is going into 1st grade. I can’t believe how fast time is going by. It hadn’t even seemed like a year had gone by when Josh and I celebrated our first anniversary. And Skittles turned 3. I mean, wow! Now my nephew will be born in less than 2 months. Where is all of the time going? Is there a hole somewhere that needs to be plugged or what?

Let me just state something real quick. I LIKE spicy pickles with chocolate milk! It does not mean I pregnant. I am not, repeat, NOT with child. I just like pickles, and I like chocolate milk. It just so happens that I can tolerate having them together, while others can’t. Thank you, that is all.

Well. I think I’ll get going now. I’m going to make myself depressed if I keep thinking about how much time has gone by! Talk to everyone later!!
