Hello!

What beautiful weather we are having!! It's going to be in the 70s for atleast the next 3 days!! I LOVE it!!! I wish it could stay like this all year round!

Did you notice today's quote on my Heartlight page!! WOW!! Ain't that the truth!

I'm really looking forward to my day off on Monday. I hope to be able to open a few windows since it's going to be in the mid 60s. I'm going to do my spring cleaning. Now going back to bed for me after Stephen leaves for work! I want to get an early start so I can have everything done by mid afternoon.

Tonight I'm doing a little clothes shopping!! YIPPPEEE!! It'll be nice to get out of the house for a while!

Did you happen to catch American Idol or Deal or No Deal? As for AI....it could have been anyones' turn to go. I just was not happy with Tuesday night's show at all. This time should be interesting since they have to pick a country song....which is my ultime fav to listen to!! Kelly & Buck should be great! Now, what on earth goes through the minds of people on DOND? I can't believe some people can be os gready!! It was so nice to see that guy get reunited with his 2 daughters. I feel bad for him taking that deal, though......I had a funny feeling that he had a that $400,000 in his case.

I was finally able to pull my March closed files to my bottom shelf this morning. I wanted to get that done 2 weeks ago, but got busy with other things. There isn't as many as I thought. Thank God!! It looked like I had a good deal, but now that they are seperate from the other files, now it's not as bad.

Well, eventhough it's still my lunch I have a few things that I have to take care of. I'm still keeping a day ahead of myself as always. But, even more so since I'm not in the office Monday. I have to make sure that I don't leave anything left over.

Take care!!! :o)

Remember, Jesus loves YOU!!

Hello, bloggers!!!

What a day it has been today! I don't know wether I'm comin' or goin'!
If it's not one thing, it's another. I hope that I do get this coming Monday off just so I can relax a little! Not to mention that I need to do some major spring cleaning! I'll be nice to open some of the windows and let some fresh air in for a change.

I plan on uploading the adoptions that I have tonight. I want to get that done and out of the way. Then, the only thing I will have to do are the html pages. I actually don't have as many to upload as I thought. But, I am expecting more within the next few weeks. I'm just addicted to those cuties!! It's a miracle that I haven't gone over my limit on my 2nd account on Comcast yet!! LOL!!

I'm still not happy with the width of this i-frame. I wish I could make it a little smaller without making the links go to a 4th row. Something for me to work on over the weekend, I guess.

Well, I guess I have rambled enough for one day! Talk to yas later!!

Remember, Jesus loves YOU!!

Well.....hello again!! I guess you could say that I am on a roll since I'm posting 2 days in a row!! LOL!

I've been working on getting some more adoptions add to my site. Added 3 new pages!!! I still have LOTS to add, too, but I'm going to save that for another day. I'd figure to a few pages at a time and that way I won't get too stressed out in getting them added. I have some more coming, too! I have decided to organize them! When I will get around to doing it, is a different story. Thankfully, I have my site backed up on a zip disk, so I can work on that a little at a time. I do want to get the other cuties I have uploaded before I do that, that way I can just upload the html pages when I finished!

Well, we got the ball started rolling on getting our new patio! It'll be installed the middle of July! We can't wait and are very excited!!

Ok....I have to make this short today, because hubby is aching to get on here! Enjoy what's left of your weekend!!! :o)

Good morning, everyone!

I hope that everyone is doing well this wonderful Saturday morning!

I am SO loving my new layout! And speaking of layouts....I found the cutest one from Mimika's Art Room! That one might be for my ever growing adoption collection. But, I really would like to get them into categories before I use a new layout for them. I keep putting that off because it's going to take forever to go through all those pages. I don't know why I didn't do the organization from the get go. I'm kicking myself now for not doing so!

Remember a few months back or so me mentioning about this friend that I had from my previous job? Well, it seems like he doesn't even want to talk to me anymore. Won't call when he says he's going to or won't answer the phone when I call. I am so sick and tired of wasting my time on people who only want to be my friends when they need me to do something for them. I'm like....you've got to be kidding me! I was wondering what I did that this person doesn't want to be friends anymore (if that's the case), but then I realized that it's not me at all......it's him! So, if that's the way he wants to be, then he's going to be getting an ear full from me the next time I talk to him and end the friendship myself! I am through with people who think that they can just take advantage and get away with it.........no more!!!!!

Have you been watching "Deal or No Deal"? I love that show, but how greedy can people be!! I'm like take the deal already! Its' really amazing at how far people like to push their luck. Although, there are some that have done the smart thing by taking the deal. That show couldn't have a better host than Howie Mandel! He's just TOO funny!!! Not to mention a cutie patootie!

Well, I should get my day started. It's only just after 9 in the morning, but I've got plently to do today. Stephen and he's mom are going to the movies this afternoon. So, that will give me some time to clean up a littlle before the patio guy that we picked comes back so we can get the ball rolling on getting a patio! I might do a little shopping this afternoon, I'm not sure yet. I'll have to see what kind of mood I'm in!!

Well, enough rampling......have an awesome weekend!! :o)

Hello, bloggers!!

Well, as you can see......I decided to change my layout once again. I had this saved for quite some time so I figured it was time to use it. I just had to keep the graphics, though! They are just too cute to stop using! I'm not quit happy with the width, so I have to tinker with the coding a little bit more.

And, today marks my 1 year anniversary at AAA Mid-Atlantic Insurance Group! I can't believe how fast the time went!

Not much else is really going on. Our computer is still working fine. I think it's even a little faster then the last hard drive that we had. Probably because we don't have nearly half the things we had before. I did decide not to re-install Incredimail and more than likely will not re-install Cursor Cafe as well.

Tonight we will be going grovery shopping. I've had the taste for fettachine alfredo, so I'm going to get some chicken and make that for dinner. I think I'll also get the shell pasta to make it a little differently this time. Last time I did use angel hair spaghetti. I just like to switch things up a little. LOL!

Well, I'm going to get going so I can tinker with this site since I'm still on lunch! Take care and have a great afternoon!!

Remember, Jesus loves YOU!!

YIPPEE!!! We are now back up and running!! We got everything up and running late Friday night. All I have to say is.....THANK GOD!! We have our settings back to the way they were before. Although, I've been going through the web to find the sites that I had in my favs. I didn't realize that computers had a folder for them! I'm doing ok with finding the fonts I had before. Although, I probably will never find all of them. I now have a zip disk just for my fonts. I'm saving my fonts to the zip disk before I install them on the computer so I can check them for viruses.

Starting over with a new hard drive is kind of a blessing in disguse because we really had way too much on the other that was actually starting to make it a little slower. The tech guy that came out did say that we have to return our old hard drive to Dell with in 10 working days. They refurbish them! I never knew that. We were going to see about taking the old hard drive some where to get our files back, but we don't want to take the risk that that hard drive doesn't have any currupt files. Especially after all we went through to get some one out here with a new one.

Not much else is going on. Just waiting for another work week to start up. I finished the archiving for my closed Feb files in only 2 1/2 days! I never got my closed files done that fast before! So, now all I have to do is finish putting my notes in the system and that'll be out of the way. I also have a bulk bill that I have to get started tomorrow. That should only take me 2 days to complete since I was able to slipt it evenly.

Well......Terrell Owens is now a Dallas Cowboy. I'm causiously optomisitic. I think that he will be a good asset to the team just as long as he doesn't pull the stunts that did while with the Eagles. Should be a good season for the Cowboys. They seem like they are getting better and better with every season, so I'll just have to wait and see how they do next season.

Well, I guess I should get going so I can find some more of my fav sites. Have a great night!!!!!

HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY!!

Well, when it rains.......it pours!!! It's been a "crazy week at work with the calls that we have been getting. Plus, our computer at home crashed!!! It's not even 2 years old yet! So, we've been dealing with that for several days now. And, getting through to someone from Dell is like pulling teeth! I was on the phone with them for 2 hours! 1 1/2 hours of that time was being on hold waiting to get through to talk to a live person! Then, when I finally did get through, I end up talking to someone who I could barley understand! AAARRRGGG!!!!!!!!

To make a LONG story short, we have a technician coming out tonight to install a new hard drive. I'm kicking myself for not backing up the thousands of fonts that I had. Well, I've learned my leason! I now have a zip disk just for our fonts!! That's going to be a fun project.....going to the font sites to get back all of those fonts!!!

Thankfully I still have access to the internet from my work computer, so my e-mail isn't backing up. I've decided to not reinstall Incredimail. I'm going to stick with Outlook Express.

Well, my lunch hour is over, so I'd better get back to work!!! Keep your fingers crossed that by the end of the weekend, we will be back up and running.

What a wonderful start to my SONday....Pam of This Side of Heaven Graphics sent me her new siggies in my fav color.....pink!! Thank you, again, Pam for your thoughtfulness!! :o) So, I went through my site to take off the cow siggie that I had. It's nice to have siggies to match the graphics now!

Anyway, it's a rainy day here in NJ. I was going to have Stephen's dad come by to pick me up for he goes to pick up Stephen and his mom from the movies to do a little shopping, but if it keeps raining like this, I don't know if I want to bother going out.

The guy from EP Henry came out yesterday. I'm not sure if we are going to use him or not. He was way over priced and seemed to be in a rush. He said that he had a family function out of state. So.....make the appointment for earlier in the morning and not mid afternoon! Oh well....what can you do. So, we have someone else coming out next week.

So, on that note, I should get off of here so I can get my day started. Take care!! :o)

Well, today marks the 6th anniversary my dad went home to be with the LORD. I've been thinking a lot about my father lately and how much I wish I have just one more day with him. Eventhough I knew that he knew I loved him, I didn't say nearly as often as I should have. And, that's getting a little harder to live with.

Please keep Stephen's mom in your prayers. She's having A LOT of health stuff going on. She goes to see a surgeon on Wednesday. They found nodules and some lumps all over the place, mainly her lungs (I think).

Things at work are getting a littel crazy. I'm not sure what's going through people's heads sometimes, but I have to wonder about the sainity of some of them sometimes. One person in particular, right now.

I now have my entire site saved on a zipped disk. We had A LOT of problems with this computer this past Sunday where it didn't even want to turn on. But, thankfully Stephen knows the ins and outs of how a computer works, so he was able to fix it. We just have to shut it down a little differently because for some reason, the computer litterally takes forever to shut down.

I forgot how many adoptions I still have to add! I won't be able to do that for a while yet. I'm hoping to figure out what day(s) to take off in the coming months. Then, I can get them uploaded.

We have a guy from EP Henry coming to the house today to give us a quote on what a patio is going to run us. Hopfully, it won't be too much. We don't want something overly big. Just something the two of us can enjoy for many years to come.

On that note, I should get off of here so I can get the house in order! Have a very blessed day!!

Hey. bloggers!!

Goodness how time flies.......it doesn't feel like it's March with the mild weather we are going to be getting this week. By Friday it's going to be 70 degrees!! And, stay that was until some time next week!

Not much else has been going on. We have some one coming out Saturday to give us so quotes on what a patio is going to cost us. We have a little bit of an idea, but it never hurts to look at other ideas. We would like to have a redish color with some charcole accents. I'm looking forward to it.

I tried to get some cleaning done Saturday, but only got the vaccuming accomplished. So, now I have to get up earlier on Saturday so I can have the house clean when the guy comes for the patio.

I'm still not doing to well in keeping up with my Bible reading. :o( I'm so disappointed in myself. I just don't know what I can do to keep this from happening. I tried blocking out all the distractions, but that doesn't work anymore. I'm just at my wits end.

Well, I should get off of here so I can figure out which outfit I set out for the week I'm going to wear tomorrow. LOL!!

Remember, Jesus loves YOU!!
