What Goes Down Doesn’t Necessarily Go Back Up!

July 6, 2008   Filed Under: Life, Pet Peeves, Sweet Thang   429 words

I have to send in my phone to be replaced. It should be covered under the warranty, though, because I didn’t drop it or let water get into it. It just started malfunctioning out of nowhere. I can’t see who is calling me half the time and as a result I have been picking up everyone’s calls. Hopefully no one that I really don’t want to talk to calls me! And if they wanna charge me $50 for the replacement then I’ll just have to deal with it for a very long time. Edit 07/07/2008: It’s not covered under the warranty. Well, it would be if the warranty weren’t expired I’m stuck with this stupid broken phone that keeps getting worse by the hour!

As far as other things go, a few of the comments on my last post said don’t feel too bad about my situation because things can only get better when they are bad. That’s not entirely true, though, and I’ve seen bad situations become worse all-too-many times in my life. I will keep pressing on, though, but no one really knows the extent of my situation so to say that it will get better only makes me want to punch someone in their gut.

My offline friends do the same thing. “Oh, don’t worry, things will work out.” Yeah, that’s because they’re not used to having real problems and the hardest thing they have to deal with is man problems. Not that man problems is nothing to worry about (because I sure as heck do get stressed out when I have them), but most of them are self-inflicted in their case. One has a man who treats her like shit but loves him to death. Another is a freakin’ whore. The list goes on and on. My situation, which I won’t talk about because it’s too personal, isn’t my fault and if it were something that I could fix by removing people from my life I would do it.

I’d like to end this note by saying that I’m not a pessimist. I do believe there will be a brighter day because I am focused and I don’t let my problems overwhelm me. And I’m not depressed either, because I personally know people whose lives are more screwed up than my own is. I am pissy, though…pissy when it comes to people who think that saying “things will get better” makes a difference–they have no clue what’s going to happen. In my opinion, it’s just not right…

New Layout!

July 3, 2008   Filed Under: Sweet Thang, WordPresstastic   251 words

I’m so excited that I have a new layout! I thought it would never happen as I’ve been putting it off day after day, week after week, and month after month. I’m pretty pleased with the turnout though although I didn’t spend any time on the image. I was more concerned with coding the layout since I knew that I would forget the little that I had learned about WordPress. I just searched through a few free themes until I remembered that Mimi had a whole bunch that I liked, and eventually I found one of hers that had the general layout that I want (aka this one right here LOL).

There are still many kinks and bugs that I need to work out (including linking to all the content–that should be done sometime tomorrow), but I am so tired that I could collapse any second. I went to bed around three AM and woke up at 9AM to take my sister to school…I haven’t been back to sleep since. And I’m one of those people who need like 9+ hours of sleep so that’s really something. I’ve been working on this layout since about 2 or 3:30 and it’s now 8:30, so I’m going to take a well-deserved break to get something to eat and then take a nap (which may last until tomorrow).

Happy 4^th of July to all in case I don’t show up tomorrow!

Laziness Is Actually Diminishing!

June 30, 2008   Filed Under: Babysitting, Sweet Thang, Volunteer   278 words

I’m kind of glad that I’ve been doing somethings other than nothing lately. I’ve been working on my friends’ website making updates and adding their new inventory, tweaking the layout and helping them advertise it. I’ve also been working on my Feats in PackRat and helping my sisters and some newfound co-op friends via the discussion board with accomplishing their feats. I’ve been brainstorming ideas for this website and I’ve also been working on a schedule so that when I actually do call the lady about volunteering I’ll know exactly when I can do it.

Tomorrow evening I have a babysitting job and in the morning I take my sister to school and then will probably take a nap afterwards so that I’ll have energy (it’s two ADHD kids). The Win A Domain contest ends today, though, and the few hours that I have tomorrow between napping and leaving for work will be spent putting up the final few buttons that I’ve received over the past week or so and actually picking a winner. It will be a hard decision.

There are many people who really wanted to win and I wish I had the means of giving everybody a domain, but it just isn’t so. It’s going to be a kind of daunting task because I have to go through the submissions and make sure the sites qualify for the contest. I looked through a few already and noticed rules not being followed, etc. and there were only like 2 or 3 rules…so I’m not going to cut anybody any slack because the contest was easy enough as it is.
