Happy Hump Day!

Ooops.  Wait a minute… Stop the presses, it’s Thursday.  How did that happen??!
I’m feeling a little better today.  I think I just needed a good sleep and some cuddles.  It’s amazing how a little human touch goes a long way.  M really helped me with my mood last night.  He’s definitely the calm one in [...]

Groundhog Day?

[caution: somewhat self-loathing post ahead]
These past few weeks have felt like I was right in the middle of the movie, Groundhog Day, where I find myself re-living very similar days again… and again… and again.  My everyday life feels fairly mundane, and daily activities are performed with very little enthusiasm.  And, honestly, I have no reason to [...]

Monday update, part 2

Well, yes, it’s actually Tuesday, but I went out with Jenn last night and had too many glasses of wine… And tipsy blog posts can sometimes get me into trouble. 
The weekend was a lot of fun!  Friday night, M took me out to a very nice dinner at the Rain City Grill — [...]

Monday update, part 1

Hi All,
I’ve instituted many of the template changes before arriving work this morning (read: I was half asleep, so you might find some weirdness) — Things should be starting to look like my blog again.  I’m still not finished of course, as none of the other pages/content are up yet, and some of the goodies haven’t [...]

9 months!

Looky what I got delivered this morning to my office! (Photo taken with my new Nokia phone!)  Awww… 9 roses for the nine months that Michael and I have now been together.  In a good way, it actually feels like much longer than that.  There are still surprises, and we’re still learning things about each other – But, ultimately, I’ve [...]

Man, oh man!

Migraines SUCK!
I get one about 2 or 3 times a year, and you know, I think it’s directly related to depo shot issues.  At least, that’s what I figured out today while groaning and wishing like hell I had blackout blinds in my place.  Instead, I’ve got a whitebox in the bedroom, quite literally.  For [...]

Is it working? Is it really, really working?

Okay, I’ve finally gotten the files updated, slaved through three upgrades in order to get the old b2 tables (with some manual help from me) to be recognized by WordPress 2.0.4!  And, since you are seeing this (granted, with a horrid template) it’s been done!  …And, it’s working!  Yay!
Tonight was awesome!  I enjoyed my first ever [...]

MOVING MESS!!

I’ve migrated web hosts sooner than expected (last night) as Site5 ONCE AGAIN messed up badly. My server was down for 7 (yes seven) hours last night, and it took them six hours to get back to me!! Then, all they said was, oh, well, we’re having hardware issues, and didn’t I check [...]

Moving on, to more positive stuff!

I had a really, really great weekend!! Friday night, Michael and I took my step-Mom out for her birthday with her friend, and we all enjoyed Improv on Granville Island, and then a nice dinner at Dockside. Theatresports was particularily funny this time around, as the actors actually re-inacted my Friday, which was a particularily [...]

First mySQL headaches, then hacked…

Awesome! I’m loving the ‘net these days!
I got hacked this morning as some of you may have noticed — Thanks for the call, Al! The bastards didn’t do much — Just uploaded a new index page, but that’s just the icing on the cake.
I have decided on a new host, so I will [...]

Washing that bad service right outa my hair!

As a temporary fix to this horribly annoying mySQL version problem, I’ve moved my database hosting to a local machine. Obviously, I am not going to be paying a hosting company over $100 USD per year to host simple html pages, so I’m shopping for a better hosting company that I can count on [...]

Why I hate my hosting company:

A fine example of the worst customer service EVER from a hosting company, after I spent hours waiting for a response, they give me this: (I’d asked them why the heck my site was suddenly not functioning as it should with mySQL when I made no changes at my end)
Hello,
We have not made any [...]

I have no idea…

What the hell is up with my blog displaying all dates in the wrong order.
I’ve got a service call into my hosting company. Hopefully they’ll shed some light on the site. And, hopefully the RSS feed isn’t doing that — If someone could pop into the comments and let me know, I’d really [...]

Got my second line back!

Finally, I got my act together today, and got my Rogers account back. It’s a new number, and this time, the Rogers cell line will be my personal line, and my Telus cell will be my business line (as it has been for some time now). Finally, I can fully use my Nokia [...]

We’re booked for more White Water!

I took a few minutes out today to finally book our end-of-summer adventure weekend on the Thompson River! We’re heading out near Lytton to camp overnight, enjoy some great food, and master the class 3 & 4 white water action for over four hours on the Thompson!
Why don’t you join us, if [...]

The half life of beer suds?

These days, instead of reading tea leaves for some illumination, I’ve taken to reading my future in beer suds. They’ve provided me with many, many hours of enlightenment. For example, today, I saw two crocodiles “going at it” and one crocodile making a mess of another crocodile in unspeakable ways (Well, speakable to [...]

I know, I know…

I’ve been a completely negligent blogger/daughter/friend this week. I had absolutely meant to:

Call my step-mom to wish her a happy birthday yesterday. Crap! By the time I got home from my photo class last night, I knew it’d be too late to call. Happy Belated Birthday Sharon!
Call my Dad to [...]

Well done, Mexico!

Tonight’s fireworks view was far better than last week’s! We were at Shauna and Mat’s home, who live right on Beach, and have an even better view than the KatKam.ca view… (This one is from KatKam, and I’ll post a few of mine tomorrow when I’ve gone through them — My honey is currently [...]

It’s been quite a day so far…

Update: 12:25am Phew! I must say, that was one stressful day. Nothing several pints of beer didn’t clear up, though. I think I’ve decided to focus on being an alcoholic — A beer or three doesn’t hurt, does it? (I’m only kidding of course, at least to a degree). Freekin’ just [...]

Guest Blogger Post: Stinky But He’s Still Mine!

T was expecting a post… Here goes…
My ex and I adopted a dog a couple of years ago from the SPCA. Boscoe had been found wandering around a school yard in Delta where he had been living off of the leftover scraps from kids’ lunches. When we first met him, he had been in the [...]
