Darn, it looks like I’m off the ball again with my blog postings. What can I say, life isn’t always interesting. 🙂 We had some lovely snow Thursday and Friday. The tree guys were supposed to show early Friday morning and we hadn’t received a call saying they weren’t coming due to the snow, so we went out at 7 AM and I shoveled the sideway and in front of the garage while Terry ran the snowblower down the driveway. Of course… no tree guys. Not that I’m surprised in the least, but they could have at least called. So, Friday became a vacation day for nothing but sleeping. Snowy, calm and picturesque make for great sleep! We both conked out for several hours after checking in and doing some work from home in the morning.
I successfully built some more web graphics (okay, one banner) the other night, over several hours. I always think stuff turns out so-so, but I am my own worst critic. We’ll see how the customer likes it and that’s what really counts. More to do tonight for our own site. Terry has been working at adding account management self-service functionality thanks to the Novell licenses that we’ve recently purchased and so additional back-end coding. Now we just need some more banners and buttons, so the graphics queen must again don her crown and royal vestments this weekend.
I’ve also been stitching, of course. Working on finishing this one square for SOLAK that, for some reason, has become boring and the bane of my existence. So, I started a new square last night and nearly finished it in one sitting. That made me feel a little bit better about the massive amounts of backstitching awaiting me on the other one. I also kitted up another square that should go just as quickly as the one last night. All of the designs are from Dragon Dreams, as is the March SAL ornament, so I’m going to be either totally enamoured of or totally sick of Dragon Dreams in a week or so. 😉
Time to check out for now. The delicious aroma of breakfast for dinner (scrambled eggs and potatoes o’brien) is wafting up to me, so it’s time to follow my nose downstairs for a late dinner. We’re running late because I just had to do my Dance Dance Revolution workout first. Sheesh… what an exercise in frustration. The workout mode in DDR Extreme truly bites. Some of the people who program the steps to the songs wouldn’t know a good workout pace if it came up and bit them in the … but anyway, I’ll try not to harp on it. I’ve just learned to do things differently now. And if all else fails, I’ll go back to DDR Max. The workout stats might not be as good, but the songs are certainly setup much more reasonably for workout mode. I hope the new pads I bought off of eBay the other day get here soon!
