still experimenting

I’m stilling learning the differences between Firefox and MSIE. If you use MSIE, you’ll notice that this site doesn’t work very well. If you use Firefox, it may look a lot closer to what I intended. As you can see, I’ve changed the blog a bit…added some new features such as categories, a calendar, a thumbnail of my latest photoblog, and different format. I feel like such a newbie. I barely understand php and mysql looks so foreign to me. Thank you for your patience.

testing

woof wooftesting 1, 2 , 3. trying to see if switching from blogger to wordpress is worth it.

so tired…

Since I no longer have access to Blogger at work, I thought I’d try the e-mail feature.

Anyway, we went for a short 3-mile run yesterday and nearly died…not really…but I felt pretty crappy. From the very start it was like running with 20 extra pounds on my legs and I got lightheaded at 2.3 miles that I had to just walk home. Boo…perhaps the bike ride the day before shocked my legs. All I know is that it’s taxing for me just to walk from my car to my portable. Pretty pathetic.

T-minus 2 hours before Spring Break starts!! The kids have a minimum day today and leave at 10:45. Awesome.

Touche Pussycat!

Lately I’ve been reminiscing, mostly to myself, about a certain cat and mouse cartoon that I used to watch as a kid. I went on IMDb.com to find my favorite episodes and found myself sitting at my work desk cracking up at the descriptions of each episode. How silly. But c’mon, if you ever saw the episode of Uncle Pecos visiting Jerry and pulling wiskers off of Tom for new gi’tar strangs, you’d laugh out loud too. All I know is that I have a sudden urge to buy one of their compilation DVDs, have my brother over for cereal, and sit in front of the TV for a couple hours watching Tom & Jerry cartoons under a fort built of sofa cushions and diningroom chairs.  By the way, Blogger has officially been blocked from my district network…boo…
…
One more thing…I went on a 22-mile bike ride with Jesse and Jay. Took the Garmin and it tracked my speed, distance, elevation, and everything else you can think of. When I plug it in and sync it, it looks up the temperature and wind speed for the time I was out there too. Ridiculous. It might as well measure the amount of sweat I produce. Anyway, I had a pleasant ride through Irvine and managed to get home in one piece. Riding with the clippies in isn’t as scary as it used to be.

Happy Beakatude

I spent this weekend doing many things but the general theme was “Making My Little World a Happier Place”.

Happy Heart: On Saturday morning, I went for a little jog with the husband and dog. The sun was out and my ticker was pumping away. A four-mile jog makes my heart happy.

Happy Fish: Back at home, I finally cleaned my poor fishie’s bowl by changing the water, cleaning up the gravel, and wiping the bowl clean. It was looking pretty sad with green algae growing all over it. The fishie was sad, the water was pretty stinky, and I could barely see him through the glass bowl. But now, with some special attention, the fishie’s bowl is squeaky clean, the water is fresh, and my fishie is swimming around as happy as can be.

Happy House: The next thing on the list was to clean my own house. Laundry had to be done and things needed to be put away. Winter is great with all the snow and skiing but the poor house sure does suffer when its owner is away every weekend. So, I finished 5 loads of laundry, swept the patio, and vacuumed the floors. Ah…a clean house is a happy house.

Happy Dog: Next up, take the doggie to the park. It’s been raining a lot lately so he hasn’t been able to run free for a while. So, my brother and I drove Mr. Dog to the Irvine Dog Park but unfortunately it was closed. When we turned around, poor dog was in the back of the car crying his poor heart out, longing for a good sprint down the field. So, we decided to take him to the park in Laguna. It’s rather close to my house and was a nice large field of grass with hilly areas to roam. He took full advantage of his 30 mins there and it was nice to see that the dog is a happy one.

Happy Beakatude.

Play Time!

Marie and Cole came to my clinic today. Cole got to roam around in a safe, padded environment with lots of stimulating toys and activities. I think he had a good time.
