My mom’s birthday is in 6 days. I still haven’t gotten her anything. I guess I will take her out to dinner at Roma’s or something. I should call and make reservations tomorrow.

I’m so hungry but I don’t feel like cooking. There was something I wanted to blog about. I’ll keep writing until I can think of it.

I went searching for software for my computer. I can’t seem to find the right combination of software. The bundles come with programs I will never use.

I have devastating news. I burned a hole in the lid of one of the bowls that goes to my Zojirushi Mr. Bento lunch box. Holy moly! I’d post a picture of the lid with the tiny whole but that would mean getting out my camera, taking a picture and downloading it to my computer. I don’t have the patience for that tonight. I have to try to find a way to order a replacement. Gosh, when they said microwaveable, they didn’t say anything about the lids not being microwaveable. It isn’t very pretty to see the tiny hole in the lid. I just hope they will have a way for me to be able to purchase a new lid or bowl because to replace the entire box would be rather pricey. But I love my Mr. Bento lunch box. I’m able to give myself good portions, which is a good thing because I have a tendency to over eat and since it’s been a couple of hundred weeks since my 20th birthday, my metabolism has slowed down. (Yes, I can no longer brag about having a girlish figure.)

I really enjoy blogging with iWeb. For the past 10 days, I’ve been composing my posts in iWeb (instead of TextEdit) and then copying and pasting into my blog. I’ve been wanting to change the look of my blog for a while because I’m tired of it. With iWeb, changing my blog is so easy. And I can add my photography with every post rather than using my pictures as a background for my blog. It looks really cool. And adding pictures is so easy. I don’t have to link externally for my flickr account. Just drag and drop. Okay, let me stop. I’m starting to sound like an advertisement.

I really don’t feel like blogging. i just want to go to bed.

♫Baby come back! You can blame it all on me.♫
I can’t get that Swiffer commercial song out of my head. I don’t know why because I can’t relate to it. There isn’t a man on this Earth I wish I could reestablish contact with.

I know beyond a shadow of a doubt, I’m supposed to be single for life. Genetics prove this. I’m not going to go into detail about this evidence. I’ll save it for another day.

I can’t wait until my time off from work. I will have 9 days to get to create three really good resumes.

Strangely, the stuff I wrote in my journal at work don’t seem adequate enough to actually post to my blog(s). Bummer. Sometimes that happens. I’ll write something at work and then totally scrap it.

For the most part, I think (Dang, I can’t remember what I was going to write).

Well, I think it’s time I go to bed. When I’m so tired I can’t remember anything, (Dang, I forgot what I was going to write).

My mom had to take her dog, Keiko, to the vet last week. I noticed the dog has a loss of appetite (which is very unusual) and she had been panting heavily (on a not so hot day). The vet did some blood work on the dog and it turns out Keiko has elevated potassium levels, which means she could have a heart attack.

The last time I took the dogs for a walk, Keiko practically passed out before we made it home. I thought that was strange because the dog usually has a lot of energy. I guess that was sign # 1 that something was wrong with her. Then a few days ago, Keiko vomited. It stunk too

If the lab tests show that she has whatever (Addison’s disease I think). If this is indeed what the dog has, she will spend the rest of her life on medication. Poor thing. I’m hoping the medication isn’t in the form of a suppository because I have a hard time with the idea of sticking something up my own @ss, so I doubt I’ll be able to stick something up a dog’s @ss.

Well, as of today, the Army has 16 more days to call me back, otherwise it’s adios!

The more I play with iWeb, the more I want to host my Web site using iWeb. After figuring out how to change the template to my specifications, I really dig the program. My only issue is I’ve already paid for a two-year hosting service with Dot5Hosting.

The reasons that have kept me from using iWeb and dot Mac (now MobileMe) is the price of using MobileMe ($99/year) and Web sites maintained using iWeb generally do not look good when viewed using Internet Explorer. I don’t have any qualms about Internet Explorer because I don’t use it. I prefer Firefox. I would use Safari exclusively, but many of my banking institutions do not support Safari. It’s important that I have access to my money.

I find my computer an absolute distraction. I haven’t been able to get a good start on my paper all weekend. I’m constantly logging on to the net and surfing. I plan to finish this paper today. (It’s now 4:30 p.m.)

It’s not just my computer that is distracting, it’s the darn tv. I discovered Wild China on National Geographic, and because I want to go to China, I’ve done nothing but watch the documentaries produced for China week. I completely forgot about the Olympics in China this year. Oh, if it weren’t for that Army recall, I would have gone to see the Olympics in Beijing.

I must find a new job so I can travel wherever I want.

There was some other stuff I wanted to blog about but I will save it for another day. I will probably blog about in a few weeks when I don’t have school or going to work.  Well, at least I don’t have to go to school tomorrow.

I’m so disappointed about not getting my paper done on Saturday or today. Well, here’s to getting it done tomorrow morning.

I was invited to a picnic but decided I didn’t want to go. I didn’t feel like being in the heat and fighting the flies for food I didn’t have a taste for.

It is nice to not have to cook.

Speaking of food, I came across a recipe for Naan. I can’t wait until I’m done with school I have so many recipes I want to try.

I’m really happy to learn that a friend has decided to write a novel. She’s using the NaNoWriMo method to write her book only she’s writing this month instead of November. Oh, how I wish I didn’t have school. I would love to participate. It will have to wait until next year because I don’t have the time to devote to much because of school. 27 more weeks to go.

I need to take some more pictures. I haven’t done any photography in months.

I didn’t get any writing done on my paper. I plan on knocking out the paper tomorrow morning when the major distraction goes to church. I can’t wait until it cools off so I can lock myself in my room.

I’m going to make it an early night. Actually, my night didn’t end as early as I thought.

I went out to dinner with my mom. We decided on Chinese food. It was hard trying to find a restaurant because all the Chinese restaurants are buffets. We managed to find one restaurant but the food was terrible. Panda Express is much better and I don’t consider Panda Express the ultimate in Chinese cuisine.

Other than that, my night was so boring. There was nothing on tv so I was forced to watch the Dog Whisperer. I like the show but the format has changed a bit. I hate the psychology sessions with the owners. I like to see Cesar Milan just get right into interacting with the dogs and owners.

Well, I guess I need to get so shut eye.

Okay, so I really don’t know what to write about. My dreams have been getting really weird. I think I blogged about the dream I had about T-Bone, but I don’t think I’ve been documenting my Buffy the Vampire Slayer dreams.

The dream I had last night had sea gulls. I should probably look up what sea gulls mean in my dream book.

“To dream of gulls, is a prophecy of peaceful dealings with ungenerous persons.” - By Gustavus Hindman Miller, 10,000 Dreams Interpreted: an Illustrated Guide to Unlocking the Secrets of Your Dreamlife

I can’t figure out who exactly would be ungenerous to me. I wish I knew. Why couldn’t I dream I’d come into a couple of million dollars?

Alright. I’m starting to figure out iWeb. Not easy though. I think I’m going to have to buy one of those how-to books. I’m not having much luck trying to figure it out. It seems so difficult at times. I guess I’m just too used to having everything the way I need. Adding pictures is easier with iWeb because I don’t have to link externally. I just drop and go.

I won’t talk about school today. Ha! I can’t believe I actually mentioned it.

There was something I wanted to blog about tonight but it completely slipped my mind. I think I need to take some ginko biloba. I was surfing the Web today and came across a story at Townhall.com. It had something to do with gays serving in the military and the title of the entry was “Gays in the military: What would George Washington think?” Not quite sure about this. I’m certain George Washington, the first American General and slave owner,  would have laughed at the idea of a Negro being a free person so he would probably laugh about gays in the military. I was just failing to see the analogy. I must be stubborn when it comes to illogical arguments.

I’m trying to figure out how to work iWeb because I’m thinking about hosting my Web site through Mobile Me instead of Dot5hosting. For some reason, I really hate how long it takes for me to post to my blog. I don’t know if it has anything to do with the server but it’s annoying.

I can’t seem to figure out iWeb. In theory, it seems to be easy but in practice, it’s proving to be difficult. I What I don’t like about iWeb is I can’t seem to save the settings I like. I will have to evaluate my options further when I’m done with school because I have a lot of reading to do.

No school talk today. Someone shared some rather disturbing information. I generally don’t enjoy having my coworkers tell me about their sex life. Part of the reason is, I don’t care to know and the other reason is, I don’t want to know. Does that make sense? But the biggest reason is the imagery behind it.

I remember reading something in one of Shakespeare’s play about a beast with two backs. That Shakespearian for two people having sex. Just how big can this beast get? And if the beast is rather large, how much weight could the bed hold before it collapsed under the weight and constant movement?

Also, I’ve been thinking a lot about the body’s ability to digest food and get rid of waste. There’s this man who lives across the street, and sometimes when I leave for work in the morning he sits in his garage looking up and down the street. There’s nothing wrong with that but he likes to sit without a shirt on and he has the biggest, roundest, almost shiny belly I’ve ever seen. I kind of want to poke it to see if it’s soft.

Somebody’s going to bed pissed off. I will blog about it tomorrow. I’m exhausted and I need to get some sleep.

You know what I noticed about men, most of them are lazy. They don’t put forth any effort, especially when women are around. They just automatically assume the women are going to take care of it.

I’m going to have to give props to the Feminazis. If it weren’t for them, women would dependent on or have to carry lazy men and get nothing in return but an empty stomach and a bad back.
