Hello...
I believe that I am for now, a very, very small fish in a very, VERY large pond. What I mean is this, I am a 45 years young woman, in an age of computers and technology, who has not forgotten the good ole days and yet has this over whelming desire to be a geek. Computers are my passions and I love all the things you can do with them. The problem is, I don't know how to do all the things I want to do and I believe, perhaps incorrectly, but I believe that I am too old at this point, to learn. I want to be a geek, I do, I do! I want to have a famous blog, I want to design the most awesome website, I want to write this totally awesome computer program I have in my head! I do! I just don't know how.
So, for now, I will simply do the very best that I can do. I will continue to drewl over everyones super cool and popular blogs and web sites, I will continue to mess up my HTML and loose all the stuff on my home page, I will continue to loose all my passwords and important emails that say 'for your records'. I will continue to forget what email I stored where so I wouldn't loose it and I will continue to be a 'geek-wanna-be'.
When I get into Heaven tho, that is a different story! I know that God is saving this monster of a computer for me to play on and all I'll have to do is speak to it and it will do whatever I ask! Batta bing*!* I have the coolest blog you've ever seen! Abracadabra!*! I have the most amazing Website with all the bells and whistles! Bibbity-bobbity-Bo!*! I have this program designed and running that I always wanted to! The best parts...? I can never delete the wrong files, spell check is automatic, passwords appear like magic, it has never ending memory and processing speed and it knows what I am thinking and wanting! Wooohooo!
That will be my reward for being born a blonde who in her heart, was born a geek!

Happy Tuesday!
Good Morning,
It's Tuesday morning and I had a little time this morning before I tredge off to the trenches.
I hate working. LOL Don't we all? It's not the 'work' part I hate, it's the getting up, getting ready and getting out the door that I don't care for. I LOVE early mornings, that is not it. I just hate that I am being forced to get up early, 4:30am. I only love the early mornings when it is my choice to get up and be up.
I love the people I work with, they, for the most part, are very supportive and caring people. It's just my job that brings me down. It's a 'no brainer' type of job. I like to be challenged, to be kept busy. With my job now, I don't have that. But, it pays the bills, or kinda anyway.
I would love to be doing what I love. I would love to be on the computer all day, every day, creating, creating and creating! I love blogging, working in my paintshop pro, creating scraps, working on my psp list business, all of that. And, I do my best work late at night. With having to get up at 4:30am, staying up late is not an option.
So, I am here when I can be and create as I can but, there is never enough time in the day. It is my stress reliever, my escape. It is my passion.
How many of us really 'work' at a job that is our passion? How did you get there if you do? Why don't you if you don't? I would love to know.
Till next time...God keep you!

Oh My Gosh!
"Hello! Computer! Do you hearrrr me?" *peering and growling at the beast* "I did NOT mean to lose that HTML thingymabob! Now you put it back here right now!"
*Smiles in that Ha! I am blonde, I rule and you drewl kinda way while filing nails and waiting for puter to fix what 'it' goofed up!*
Yeah know, it would be sooo much easier if the computer could read minds. I mean just think, you could get sooo much accomplished so much easier. I know it can't but, wouldn't it be great if the computer did what you WANTED it to do and NOT what you made it do?!! That would be awesome!
I really believe that somewhere out there, there is a programmer that could take my ideas, make a 'Blonde' program and we would both be rich! I know just how it should go too! *Grins in that seeeeee, blondes are NOT stupid way* You just have to be able to cut, copy, paste and drag everything! Simple! Viola! Seriously, I have some really great ideas here! Especially for Web Designing! It could be sooo easy! The computer would have all the layouts, knowing the secret HTML thingy codes and all like it does, it would let you pick one, then, you could drag all your pics, music, blinkies, fav sites and all onto that page and Bada-Bing, Bada-Boom, one totally awesome Website! And see how easy that was?!
So, call me programmers! We will hook up and I will help you out! I am off now to the sale at the mall and of course I have my phone!
*Smiles in that I told you so kinda way and checks the mirror one last time*

That was fast!
Yesterday I was happy to see a free sample offer in my email box! Wooohoooo! Free is always great! It was from Tide, their official site. It was for Tide with Dawn in it.
Now, I am a die-hard Tide fan and user. I pay the price for Tide rather than buying 'generic' laundry soap as I do with most other purchases I make for the family. So, I was excited to see this offer for a free sample.
Following the instructions, I went to get my free sample. It was maybe 3 minutes after getting the original email.
Did I get my free sample? NO! I got an error message instead. This offer has expired. Wow! That was fast.
Why did they bother so feed me this little morsel, this tidbit of good news only to yank it all away? Just to let me know that he who holds the freebies has the power!
Altogether, the day just went the way of the freebie. Too fast and too empty.

Demerol Time!
Today is one of those days. The pain is almost more than you can take, it hurts like heck to just sit in this chair and type. My body touching the chair is extremely painful! It brings tears to my eyes and every time I move, it becomes excruciating. And I move because it hurts so I wiggle to find comfort only, there isn't any.
I dread the walk to the printer. The thought of walking down stairs...makes me want to cry with the anticipation of what is to come.
I sit here, talk when spoken to and do my best to hold it in. Concentration is out the window and the fear of what did I forget to do, what if I forget what I am supposed to do, the mad dash to the sticky notes to write down what my instructions are is making me crazy. I pray that no one notices and that no one asks me what is wrong or how I am. I will loose it. I can no longer stand up straight when I head to the ladies room. The pain is pulling me down.
Doctors haven't helped so far and how could they, I have no insurance so, I can never follow up on an emergency room visit. I am afraid to go into the ER now, I owe so much money. I live in pain and I don't know what to do any more.
Ibuprophen is ok but when it hurts like this, for these days when even the merest of movement or touch is like shooting flames, nothing I have in my purse can touch it.
So, this blog probably doesn't make much sense but, I know there's someone somewhere out there that feels like I do, living with pain and can't get help for it because they don't have insurance. Forgive my rant today, forgive my spelling today...well, ok, forgive my spelling every day. See, I had one smile in me today.
Till next time....God Bless and keep you,
