I went to my first concert. I remember it clearly.

Dokken - Slaughter - Poison

What a fucking line up. This was almost 20 years ago, mind you.

I had big hair - my bangs were so high and hard my brother used to tease me and say it was how they invented the claw... I fell down, went boom and our garden was cultivated. I wore a black silk shirt with multi-colored polka dots and black jeans, hot - I know. I remember being hit on by multiple men that would be arrested for even looking at me, and at one point walking out of the "mosh pit" with my shirt completely unbuttoned (never did figure that one out).

Anyhow - to the point of this story.

Today is a walk back in time. I am going to Riverbend to see Poison in concert with the same person I went to see them with 20 years ago (Heather). They are playing with Dokken, and Sebastian Bach - for those of you that dont remember Sebastian, here is a welcomed reminder.

Good times people, good times.

I had promised details about my awesome job and never delivered. What can I say, I just liked the suspense.

I really love the job. For my career I see myself doing something much more creative than what I am required to do here. Everything we do has to conform to "standards", but since I've never done anything like this, the structure is a perfect environment for learning the basics.

What I do like is the attention to detail and good web practices our department has insisted the company adopt as part of their standards. A LOT of the work I do is converting old sites into more current, clean and web friendly code.

For those of you who have NO idea what I'm talking about, I'll give you a little example, I took this code

<.table align="center" width="100%" class="tableBorderLIGHT".>
<_tr>
<.td align="center" style="padding-left:10px;"><_a href="ME_CaseLaw.htm" target="mainFrame" class="pages">Case Law<_/a>
<_/td>
<_td align="center"><_a href="ME_statutes.htm" target="mainFrame" class="pages">Statutes<_/a>

<_td align="center"><_a href="ME_courtrules.htm" target="mainFrame" class="pages">Court Rules<_/a>
<_/td>
<_td align="center"><_a href="ME_Admin.htm" target="mainFrame" class="pages">Admin. Materials<_/a>

<_/td>
<_/tr>
<_/table>

Which is the code for the RED navigation in this picture:



And I changed that code to this:

<_table class="top_tablewidth">
<_tr>
<_td class="toplink"><_a href="ME_CaseLaw.htm" target="mainFrame" class="pages">Case Law<_/a><_/td>
<_td class="toplink"><_a href="ME_statutes.htm" target="mainFrame" class="pages">Statutes<_/a><_/td>
<_td class="toplink"><_a href="ME_courtrules.htm" target="mainFrame" class="pages">Court Rules<_/a><_/td>
<_td class="toplink"><_a href="ME_Admin.htm" target="mainFrame" class="pages">Admin. Materials<_/a><_/td>
<_/tr>
<_/table>

Which made it look like this visually



Not a lot of changes, but it looks better and fits into our web standards. This particular site had 25 pages I had to make changes to. I also made it all uniform, so the spaces between the forms were even on every page and lined up, and also made a welcome page (that you see here on the right) that logs the users by last name.

And that's it! That is what I do all day, and I love it... for now.

I sit in a little cubical that is about 10x10 and grey.

SOMEONE JUST BROUGHT ME A PEANUT BUTTER RICE CRISPY TREAT THE SIZE OF TEXAS ON A BIG MAP.

I have a dry erase board that I haven't written on yet, two CSS books I checked out from the library we have on the first floor, and a little drawer I keep some files in. OOOOH and I have pushy pins, to hang random things up with. I <3 href="http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/berlinvideo/">watch this now.

... of the emergency 'whether or not I can blog from work' broadcast system...

THIS IS ONLY A TEST. (aka: my boss is at lunch)

Since I'm here, let me share with you the latest things that have made me laugh. You can find them here and here.

Enjoy.

Other things of note:

• CSS kinda makes me wanna cry occasionally, but they are tears of joy. If only I could borrow Hrbek's brain from 8-5 M-F. WHAT SAY YOU, HRBEK??***
  
• It is hard to unpack when you have no where to put things.
• Sheila is going to help me with the above this weekend, (shhh, it's a surprise).
  
• I thought I was over it, but NOPE, I still heart men over 40. Wait a minute, I heart men under 40 too... hmmmm...
• Right now, my left tricep is twitching.
• Friday, poker, my place... is it in?
• I am never going to blog in complete sentences again, unordered lists are OBV the way to go.

***So, since you're here already... I'm currently trying to clean up some sloppy HTML in tables with CSS, but I kinda suck at CSS and know very little about it. I've actually managed to get thru this whole site and replace almost all the crap with smaller crap (holler!). But here's one I can't seem to figure out -
<_table width="188px" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
Is it even possible to create cellpadding and spacing in CSS? If so, tell me how O WISE ONE!

Tables suck btw.

So this is it.

In a couple of hours the movers will be here. and a couple of hours after that... I'll be a suburbian...

For the first time in my life.

Damn the man.

Damn him all to hell.

Except when I'm layin' at the pool, then we should definitely make him a Margarita... just sayin'.



PS: before I made the move, I made it a point to go to the Dollar General store and get 3 new pair of sunglasses. The total cost? $9.00.

Labels: life, suburbia

I have this "thing" about sunglasses. I never buy expensive ones... and by not expensive, I mean under $10. They always seem to get ruined, somehow, some way. I would go through, at least, 10 pair a year, so why spend a lot on them?

Then, the weirdest thing happened. I went to Vegas to play in the WSOP, stopped in a little shop in the RIO right after I busted out, and bought these $5 Gucci fakes. These sunglasses broke my curse, and began my "Grand Good Run for Sunglasses". I held onto them for two years, along with a pair of polarized glasses I found at the Dollar General store for $3.

For some reason, I can never let a good thing lie, and I had to go and buy cute sunglasses off of Overstock.com this year. They still weren't expensive, about $20 a pair, but they were name brand glasses that I got a deal on.

What happens?

I lose my great Gucci fakes from Vegas.

I run over the new brown pair with my car, the first day I wore them.

The new black pair, I stepped on while I was at work.

The Dollar General polarized glasses? I set down next to my curling iron that just happened to be on. I still wore them that day, and then left them at someones house.

And my faithful $2 back up from Target? Crushed in my overnight bag.

This is all in a matter of 2 weeks.

What does this all mean? I have no fucking clue. What I do know is that I got my dream job this week. I was chosen to take a co-op position with THE MAN as a Web Designer.

A WEB DESIGNER. WHO KNEW.

Is this the return of the T? What will happen on these sites? Will she embed porn where no one can see? Will she have AIM access? Do they block FTP? Will the forum be blacklisted? Will she start blogging again? Has she lost her awesome sense of WIT?

So many questions, and only one way to find out. HOLLER.

PS: I put the good stuff at the end, cause only the people that love me will actually read all that crap to get to the good stuff! You know who you are, and thanks for always being there. (See, give me a job and I turn into a fraking sap...)

I broke my toe, and it hurts like hell. My girls were upstairs in the bath screaming like banchees (wtf is a banchee anyhow?) so I had to go up and set them straight. On my way down I slipped with about 5 steps left and my foot went a-flying into my elliptical machine that sits at the bottom of the stairs.

This was the result of the collision.



Hot, I know.

But the most exciting news of my week is that construction has started on my new home. Next time I'm over I will be snapping some pics. I had told my brother in law (Scott) that the only request I had was for my shower to have some sort of ledge in it for me to prop my foot on when I shave my legs. In my parents house there is no ledge, and the stand up shower is quite small. So... I have to take a shower and THEN go up to their bathtub and shave my legs. My mom was over there Tuesday and the first thing in is my shower, and from what I hear it has TWO SEATS in it and I can't wait to use it!

HOLLER!

I started back to school yesterday, my schedule is as follows:


Not too bad, the hardest part will be making an awesome flash final from last quarter. I'm also sitting in on my professors class from 4-4:45 on Tues/Thurs until I'm done. I would also like to find something to replace that online English class, as I think it will suck balls. NTTAWWT. The beginning self defense class on Saturdays is actually Judo/Jiujitsu. I am pretty excited about taking it, but considering the news that is coming next in this blog post, I may have to drop that class.

I GOT A JOB!!!

Now, calm down. It isn't a spectacular job, or a job even remotely close to what I want to do. But, the pay is good, and the hours are MWF, and allow me to still take my kids to school in the morning. So, I took it. I will be your friendly neighborhood dental office receptionist. Right in the middle of the ghetto. At least I'll have no shortage of hook up offers.

The only catch to the job is that my BFF since the 6th grade not only will be working with me, but she will be my boss! (see pics from previous post, that is whom I speak of) I think it will be a good time. Heather and I respect each other enough to know the boundaries... I THINK.

Thursday night I'm off on an over night field trip with Maya to the Indianapolis Zoo. We are sleeping over night in the dolphin habitat, and I'm not gonna lie, mama is excited. There isn't much better than re-living your childhood thru your children! (ya I know, stfu)

I've been wanting to add on to this photo all month and keep forgetting. I've only lost 10-15lbs since my last pic, but I wanted to do one last update until July 1st. Holler.

This picture is titled, "Where, O Where, Have My Boobles Gone".

Hell, I miss me, so y'all must be out of your minds!!!

You know what I <3? height="355" width="425">

I also found this, evidently at some point in my life I wanted my body to be blushy and shimmery. And then, on top of that, figured I'd want it to be blushy and shimmery again at some point, and held onto it. Good thinkin' me!!


Now, I just need to find someone that wants to see me blushy and shimmery. I'm taking applications.

PS: new song again at top, listen to it soon, cause I already found something to replace it with :P

Since that is all I use my blog for anymore, now is a good time for it!! The 101 things I should be doing right now can wait.

My "mini van mom" days are over. The van has been sold, and I am now driving a ULEV. I miss my van horribly, but I do feel about 5 years younger when I drive this car, and that's a PLUS. I just need to get some window tintage (so I LOOK 5 years younger too) and I'll be kickin' it. Holler. My chicks seem to dig the new wheels (a Honda Civic, btw) but we will see how they feel when there are no movies to watch on the next road trip.

I am about to move into my mom and dad's basement, which would make me feel about 10 years younger, except for the fact that my two kids are going with me. So instead, it will pry age me 10 years. It is just temporary till Maya finishes her school year out, but still, gl me!!

I kicked zooks ass in this. I don't wanna rub it in too much, so that's all I have to say about that :P

My chicks and I are starting Jiu Jitsu lessons today. I just wanna grapple with hot dudes, sfobv. Submit hot dude FTW.

Still no job, I even interviewed with a florist. I must seem like I'm not the flowery type, who knew.

Storyboards suck ass.

I did one of nyquil last night, but this morning Ima go all GGW on you and do a dayquil!

wooohoooooo!


Anyhow, the amounts of phlegm contained in my body at the moment are not the point of this post. I shall proceed...

If you've been around my spot for awhile you are familiar with my struggles with Math. You would also know that after a year in school I finally broke down and took my Math class this quarter.

Well, in all honesty, it wasn't pretty at first. My first week of school I came home and did very poorly on all my homework, did bad on the daily quizzes in class, and the outlook was bleak since my first test was the SECOND week of class.

/commercial break/

so I am sitting in bed typing this and my anna is asleep next to me, snoring a bit. She just woke up, did a big stretch and started to whisper to me:

"Mommy, I just had a really good dream."

"OOOOOH tell me!"

"I was at school, and we had a big pool in the school, so we were all swimming and laughing, and when we got out, there was A BIG PIRATE SHIP... LIKE A REAL ONE... RIGHT INSIDE OUR SCHOOL!"

"Did you get to ride on it?"

"No, but it was so awesome mommy, it even moved like a real pirate ship, and the pool was so big and deep, we pushed it into the pool and the pirates let us keep it!"

/end commercial break/

My math prof offers extra credit work on all tests. She gives us a review sheet to complete, and then we have to go into a math lab and take a practice test. In order for the extra credit points to count, we have to score 85% or higher on the practice test. This was a good deal for me!

I had been working really hard on my Math with a LOT of help from a friend. And when I say a lot, I mean HUGE help HUUUGGGEEE.

For instance, I come home from math class, get ALL of my homework problems wrong, I shoot an email (or a mathmail as it has come to be known), that makes no sense cause I'm retarded, over to this friend, he shoots one back and I completely understand. It's truly amazing. He has a dizzying intellect.

So, when I went in to take my practice test, I was feeling goooooooooood! I zipped right thru the test, knew how to work out every problem, cilcked submit and went over to the printer to get my score when I see...

YOUR SCORE IS 70%

I actually felt a little tear well up. How do I get a 70% after I've worked so hard?!? So, you know what I did? I didn't sulk, I TOOK THAT BITCH AGAIN!

AND I GOT A 70% AGAIN!! (did you "lol" when u read this? I did)

I couldn't keep taking the practice exam because it was time to head over for the real test. I wasn't a happy camper and I could feel the pissiness start to well up inside me. Do you ever get like that? It's like a pot boiling, and you can feel it start to rise from your gut and move it's way up to your head and if someone were to speak to you at that very moment, they would for surely die.

So what happened? Are you on the edge of your seat dying to know? Did she fail? Did she cry? Is she going to get naked and post pictures?

I think I will let my most excellent math tutor answer this one in limerick, for your enjoyment.

The first test, she was going to fail it
She decided that she would mathmail it

J worked his magic
To avoid scores so tragic

Which in the end, caused her to nail it

~I start school Tuesday, and both my girls go back tomorrow. Anna is going FULL TIME THIS QUARTER!

But it won't allow me to rest because I have a lot I need to accomplish by the end of the month. I actually lightened my load with school a bit so I could concentrate on finding a job. The only interesting classes I'm taking this quarter are Web Design II (Flash) and Web Authoring. Other than that I'm taking a MATH class (EEEK), Pilates and Yoga.

~I have to take some antibiotics for 7 days and I CAN'T DRINK while I'm taking them. Normally I might try and see how I do with it, but both my Doc and my Pharm told me not to, and that I'd get really sick. T likey her drinky!! And the OSU v LSU game is tomorrow!!

I remember when I was a kid, my friends and I figuring out how old we would all be when the year 2000 hit. My magic year 2000 number was 23, and yes, for those of you who know your math, that means I will be 31 this year.

Another little T memory is that ride at Epcot Center, showing what the future would be like (do you remember it? it was all Jetsonlike), and well, it is now the future and I do not feel like Mrs. Jetson.

When I was in the 6th grade I had my plans laid out to become the first female president...

I planned on having a college degree...

I swore I'd be out of Ohio by the time I was 23...

I knew I wanted a career that would allow me to travel...

I thought I'd be happily married with 3 kids...

I could go on, but the point is that some of this never happened, some of it I wouldn't even want anymore, and some of the greatest things I've accomplished aren't even on the list.

The awesome thing is , I'm OK with that. As crazy as my life is right now between school, career change, kids and going through all the fucked up craziness of my marriage being over; for the first time in my life, I feel completely content.

So, bring it on 2008, I'm ready for you, bitches!!

I'm so far behind here, I don't even know where to start. First, let's do a little catch up:

• I finished my 5 mile turkey trot, and I did not die. I did however, get very sick the next day. It could have been the jogging in freezing rain, idk.
  
• I finished school (for the quarter and I'm on winter break till January) and I got my first "C" - @#$#in art
• I'm having some sort of mid-life crisis, even tho I'm only 30 and not quite to the middle of my life- or maybe I am WTF
• I am in the middle of trying to get in the Digital Design program at UC on a scholarship- and it is kickin my ass - AND I'm not even sure if I want can do it, (see above) I definitely WANT it
• I need a job- badly
• I hate Dayton(and I lie)
  
• This is what makes me happy (minus a few peeps- dave, dad, mom, but it's close)
  

Ok, so, that's that.

This week I am having my friendly reminder of why I did NOT have three children. As much as I love this kid, and I LOVE having her around, I'm still done on FRIDAY! My sis and Scott are in Atlantis (bastids) and I hope they are having a great time. This is their first time away from Harper, and I'm glad for them.

You two better be having lots of sex, and the good kind too.

That is all.

Oh, and if I haven't shown you my new website design, holler at me (not gonna post it cause my contact info is on it).

New song up top, check it out.

That word about sums it up for me the past two weeks and I have a lot to ramble on about...

Of course I'm not going to now cause I need to go finish vacuuming!

But, I just wanted to remind all of ya tomorrow is the BIG DAY, and my baby went to pick up my runners packet for the Turkey Trot...



How cute is SHE?!?!

Yesterday I was at the Dermatologist, I know, FANCY. I had never been to a dermatologist before, but I suppose it is item #436 on the list of "how T knows shes not getting younger", cause well, I didn't have to go for acne problems.

I was sitting in the waiting room filling out all the standard paperwork when I get to this:

Do you smoke? [ ] yes [x] no

Smokeless Tobacco? [ ] yes [x] no

Alcohol intake: ___ weekly

I lol'd purdy good.


Speaking of Alcohol... couple of weeks ago I went on my liquor store run for rummm. I was practically in my PJs, which is standard for the ghetto, so no biggie. I run in, get the goods, and run out. As I get back into the mini van, when the guy in the car I had parked next to gets out of his car and walks over to me. He's an older guy with nice gold teeth in his mouth, I know, FANCY. He was sportin' some velour and a thick gold chain too, and of course, the sideways hat, which we all know I'm so fond of...

strange man: BEAUTIFUL GIRL!

*I turn and look OBV

strange man: WASSYOURNAME GIRL

me: Well, it is NOT girl

strange man: HA HA WHASSYOURNAME!

me: Depends on how well I know you (puts liquor in car)

strange man: WELL HERE'S MY NUMBER BAYBEE (he had the shit written down already, he was PREPARED)

me: I'm married (sitting in car closing door)

*he looks down at my hand with no wedding ring on it

strange man: DAYUM GIRL YOUR ARMS ARE SO HAIRY WOOOOO

*van door closes

orly? so suave.


I came home and shared the story with zooks, of course, and we laughed.

Ok, that's all I had for now.

carry on.

Last night was trick or treat here in the sticks, and before I go any further I would like to address a few things:

• NO, I don't know why we have trick or treat the night before Halloween and NOT ON Halloween.
• I wasn't allowed to trick or treat when I was a small T (aka teebletobbles), it was considered the "Devil's Holiday", so I don't know much about why we do what we do. Mkay.
• I had always assumed it was to put a bend on all the shenanigans that can occur on Halloween.
• Yes, I've come to realize this is in fact weird, but I don't make the rules.
  
• GET OVER IT!!
  

Now that we have made it past that issue...

We had a great time. It was a bit of a hectic day for me and I had to skip my night class to make it there, but everyone survived and candy was had.

Maya was Lara Croft (aka Tomb Raider). She's quite the gamer, but this was a last minute change to her previous plans. Last year while trick or treating she saw a decoration in someone's window that inspired her. It was a DEAD ANGEL, as she called it. All year I had been hoping she would forget about it, and every time she mentioned it I would make another suggestion. When I FINALLY got her to hook onto the tomb raider idea I was thrilled (even tho it wouldn't have been my first choice)PS: Don't tell, but those aren't toy guns. I couldn't find any acceptable toy guns, so I purchased pellet guns (sans pellets, obv).

Anna... what is there to say about my Anna. She had planned on being a pirate (of course, because she really thinks she will be a pirate one day) but decided to be a wolf when we found this kick ass wolf costume at the thrift store one day. But this week when we went to find Maya's shooters, she saw these ninja swords and fell in love. So, then she was going to be a ninja wolf, till she saw the ski mask... i mean what kids doesn't like swords and ski masks?!?! Don't worry, I've started a fund for the therapy sessions.

PS: I love this kid, she is so fraking awesome, it's sick.

And of course MAH BABAY! A DRAGON ATE MAH BAYBAY! Ok, not really, but Harper had her second trick or treat. Last year she was a 'lil chili pepper, but this year she would walk up to the house, grab the goods and run away. Smart 'lil cookie she is.

PS: She thinks her auntie T is cool (obv) and is coming over Thursday night to chill.

I've been meaning to post for well over a week, and well, here we go...

School:

I can't believe the end of the quarter is already rearing its ugly head.

Art is kickin' my arse again. Drawing more than one thing in the same composition is harder than drawing just one, who knew. I was actually so frustrated yesterday, I left class an hour early to prevent my head from exploding.

Printing class is da bomb. I designed a pokerslut tshirt to make for my screen printing project. I should be able to start my strike offs next week. w00t. It'll look a little something like this:

The front
The back - Ive actually changed this a bit since the screenshot for obv reasons. positioning/redability etc.I was going for the early 90's rock tour look, obv. There's a sleeve shot too, but well, you'll have to wait for the real thing to see that.

Dreamweaver - oh dreamweaver - feed me to the wolves would ya? My hands on midterm made my blood begin to boil, but I got an A on the written part. I need to get started on my final project, which is designing an entire website (OMG) I should get hrbek to do it for me. I decided to make an online portfolio, since that would be killing two birds with one piece of stonage.

Yoga is fabulous, I forgot how much I enjoy doing yoga and how much it helps my back. Although, last week my instructor started giving instructions on a pose and when he got to "once you feel the pull in your leg, start to work your heel to the back of your head...." he received an evil eye from the T. Just sayin.

And last but not least...

Design Survey is a BS class they make us take. I was dreading it. It is one of those 2.5 hour BS classes that make you want to pull your hair out, lots of busy work etc. But my instructor RAWKS. We haven't had a class last over an hour yet, AND he has taken HALF the work out of the class, including a paper and tests. And, AND none of our work is actually due till the end of the quarter. GG Jack. Only thing is, he jabbers on and on and on and on quite often. I didn't know dudes had so much to say. Right now he is having us design a logo for a made up automotive company. My company is called KADUB. sfobv.

The Skinny

Well so far I've lost about 34lbs and I'm happy about it. The last time I weighed, the scale actually said i had put 3 lbs back on, but I'm not buying it. It was late in the day and I've been training for a 5 mile run on Thanksgiving. The new jeans I bought that are two sizes smaller than before are getting a bit loose already too, so I've lost interest in the number. I feel great, which is the best part and I've been sticking with it.

Exercise had been getting a bit boring after the whole prop bet thing to make it entertaining, so I decided to really challenge myself to do the Turkey Trot. I don't know if I will be able to jog 5mi by then, but it's fun trying!

Hey SCOTT are you still gonna do this with me or what playa?!

So anyhoo, last night I was talking to someone about this pic I saw of myself on my brother's picasa page that was the catalyst for the decision to lose weight. It made me wanna puke. the convo went a lil something like this:

me: omg u should see the pics i saw of myself that made me realize i had to lose weight. not that i would ever show them to you, but still
person: show me
me: no fraking way
person: come on
me: gfy
person: you could be like the person in the commercial that holds up the big pants
me: still not gonna

Well, here's the pic, right next to a pic of me in the same shorts that Anna was so kind to take of me this morning.

Might wanna turn your sound down - the first one MOOOOOOO's



Life

Big changes going down in T-Ville. They aren't quite bloggable as of yet, but I'll get to it when I can. Good changes tho.

Zooks was in town this past weekend. It was pretty sweet having her here, cause well, I like zooks.

Pictures were taken, obv, if interested.



Lots of kid stuff, and poker on Saturday night at Ritze's (smboatdrinks) house, which was a blast. My bro even came with us, and had Zooks cracking up in the car the whole way home, sfobv. To top it off, I'm going to HER house THIS weekend! When it rains it pours... w0000t.

All is well in kidville too. Maya had PT conferences last week and straight As on her report card (standard) and Miss Anna made this kick ass dinosaur out of construction paper at daycare yesterday. Altho, (spell check says altho should be alt ho - lolorz) today she felt the need to make another construction paper creation, and made a Mermaid with a gun. NOICE.

So that's all the tidbits for now, carry on.

OK, ya I checked my calendar... it is definitely Friday. Whew, I was a little worried there for a second.

Last week, after multiple requests, my system admin finally went to install my Adobe CS3 suite on the 'ol laptop. Let's just say the 'ol laptop couldn't handle it, and I was forced with a decision:

I could spend $400 upgrading my crappy laptop that I've already wasted too much money on

or

I could get a new laptop

I went with the later, even tho I'm a cheap ass and I still keep telling myself "I'm taking it back" - I don't think thats gonna happen. However, installing XP instead of VISTACRAP is a high possibility. I haven't even been using the system for 24 hours and it has already crashed on me, but at least the error windows are pretty and they glow.



However, all my problems pale in comparison to THIS - what asswipe designer decided this would be a good idea??
Ya, that's the SHIFT key. Sigh.

Anyhoo, enough about me, let's talk about PIRATES!! I can't take credit for this one, it was shown to me by some dude, from Jersey that doesn't have 'a guy'.


Then I saw this today on my google reader... he he he



And for the piece de resistance-

Do you remember the Davey Crockett tail?? Hmm do ya? I don't see how you could forget really. But, just in case you did - you won't this time.
