This Week’s Summary

I did ok at the gym this week. I did improve by a .06mile on the treadmill for a total of 3.32mile in 30min. My lower abs have been sore the last 2days. I have increase the weight on the abdominal to 82# for 2 sets of 20 & 81# for the last 2 sets. I’ve also been trying to increase my floor ab workout.

My pedometer says I got in over 33miles in steps this week, which is more then the last 2 weeks, so that is cool. Once the weather is better on the weekend (non-gym days) I can start getting my walks in and increase that.

Hubby asked if I would like to increase our gym time from 60min to 90min. I would love that, I know that I can do a much better and an intense workout in with that extra 30. I will just need to think of what I want to add to each day. I have few ideas. But I think I will do my normal and then after my floor abs (I normally do last) I will then add all different exercises to my routine. So if we decide not to do the 90, I still have my normal in. Fingers crossed that we handle getting in that extra 30min. Because I’m getting tired of being stuck at the same weight.

Been having a few days were I just want to smack people. I’m very happy that I don’t have to work face-to-face with most of the people that I have to deal with. It sucks, because most of what I do isn’t that hard, just mentally intense and time consuming. But when I get stuck with some of these people, I just go into avoidance mode and I hate that mode. So I end up working on everything else but them and then go back to them last.

I’ve also been working on a few things for my folks. Bought mom a domain (helpinghandswithann.com) and got a blog set up on it.  Mom wants to move her cleaning business up to the next level and dad is thinking of offering minor repairs.   Need to figure out a time to get on the phone with my folks so I can walk them through the admin of the blog.  It isn’t going to have a bunch of posts.  Just a general one of who they are and their business….so I need to delete all the test posts….lol.   But since I can’t design and they offer free designs for word press that are easier to change out, this is perfect for them.  Now I need to figure out how to add the logo that mom got made up, once I get it….it will be interesting.  =)

I have been playing around with my widgets on this blog. Which I’m really enjoying. I really like that WP has that option now, makes it so easy to change things up.

Been trying to update plugins and then screwing something up…..ggrrr I lost my photopress…icks.. I love scaring myself that way. I was able to reinstall it, but now I can’t use my random picture widget. So I had to do another ticket with my host to see if they can replace my new photopress file with one made from the backups they make. I hate pestering them for my goofs.

Now, while trying to learn how to change file permissions so I can edit wp themes I totally lost access to my theme file. I can’t even delete the damn thing and re-upload it….lol LUCKILY I was able to rename it and upload a new file named themes. Now waiting on the FTPing. Good thing that I try to back up everything, because I lost my blog completely since it had no design to attach itself to….DOH!

Which reminds…that should be my big project, backing up everything, which also means cleaning/reorganizing my externals….that is going to be exhausting.

So I started doing blog work and screwing things up……..lol Tomorrow I have to finalize our taxes and get them paid…icks Not something I’m looking forward to, but very happy to have it done with for now. Then back to the health insurance search….which sucks big time here in the US.

That is the only two things that I miss from working outside of the house, getting health insurance (but that requires full time work & more stress) and having taxes taken care of. Things that taken for granted, well the tax part anyway. Insurance is something everyone gets screwed on.

Hot damn, just had a thought to check something out and fixed my photopress! Now need to figure out the permissions thing. I would like to change out headers and fonts. There is one theme I like, but I can’t stand the font……lol

I think I’m going to close and play around with my widgets and plugins. =)

Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

I hope everyone is having a great day!

Site/Blog News

We’ve been planning on changing hosts/servers for a few months. But we had things we needed to take care before we did all that. Well, we ended up doing it a few days ago due to circumstances beyond our control. So if the site or blog was down, it was due to that. Everything is up and hopefully there won’t be anymore problems. If you see anything, let me know ASAP.

Now, due to that (besides the virus of last week) I wasn’t getting emails for a few days as our new host set us up. I recieved them all yesterday and I don’t believe any were lost (fingers crossed), so I’ll try to get to them soon. This weekend is a working weekend with back to back shifts so it is going to be hard to get to them until next week.

My GM Sandee invited me over to work on something at her place Thursday. I thought it would be a cool thing to do. Well, we want grocery shopping when I got off of work Wednesday night and did not get home to after 1……..we died AFTER 2am. So I had a hard time rolling out of bed until almost 10………icks…..that is way past my normal time. So by the time I got things taken care and showered it was too late. =(

I did get my nails done………..they were horrible…….I beat the crap out of them….lol It ended up being a good thing that all I did was get my nails done. By the time I got home Harold had a big project for me concerning some of our moves that needed to be fixed. I worked on that until late last night and I’m proud to say that I got what he gave me done. =)

Right now, I’m getting ready for work………..not feeling like dealing with the Friday night crowd….icks. I’ve worked alot of mornings on that last few Fridays and had my routine down. =) Oh well, that is life. =)

1st Day of the Year

I worked today. We were down a person……actually 2 since one of our folks was sick from drinking last night & ran to the bathroom a lot………..lol She did not look good. But she is young and learning. So I found her something to do closer to the bathrooms so she didn’t have far to go.

Our other person was missing in action. The last anyone had heard from him was @ 09:30 when dropping off a friend after partying all night. We found out much later that on his way home to shower and change for work he got pulled over for a messed up tail light. Well, his clothes smelled of liquor from drinks being knocked him the night before so of course it went down hill from there. His alchol level was so low that he was sober (hadn’t had a drink in hours & had sleep since then), but he is under age so he got busted for that. Then they wouldn’t let him make a 2nd call to let us know where he was at. I’m almost happy to hear what happened to him, cuz towards the end I was thinking the worst….. =(

Unfortunately cuz of all that we didn’t get as much done as I wanted to today, but we didn’t do too bad considering.

Here are a few cool articles :
A bicycle built for seeing America

**What an experience that would be.

Florida weirdness spawns three books
**I thought this state was weird before we moved here. You’re always hearing something weird in the news about the people.

Need to head to bed……have an extremely early morning tomorrow….then I need to get my poor nails done…..they are looking rough…yuck.

Alaskan Thoughts

Here is a cool story about traveling to Artic Circle in Alaska : Alaska: Venturing north of the Arctic Circle

Here is a site that Harold found that a guy made about his trip up to Alaska, it is pretty neat : Mikey’s Arctic Circle2

Kind of makes me homesick.
