Nothings Broken

Tuesday Afternoon

Ana — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 01:25:55 +0000

I am sitting here in the car waiting for my honey to get off work. I am browsing and watching Castle on Hulu. I ? Technology.
I brought my laptop to work today so I can work on our social work month newsletter.
I am creating it in word, I am kind of regretting that choice. I chose it for the ability to save as a .pdf, I am rethinking my choice, because when it does save, its in low resolution. Bleh, I want everyone to read it and be intrigued by the design.
I pretty much worked on it all day. like 5 hours to be exact. Of course that was in between phone calls and daily duties but still, my eyes are burning from staring at my laptop screen.

Here is a peek:

Nothing interesting happened today. I haven’t even had time to find other plans for our girls night out weekend. We were suppose to go to Las Vegas, but it had to be changed. We are trying to stay local, I am thinking of Pechanga Casino in Temecula. Its very classy, but we are wanting something that we would be able to just chill out. I hope that we find something soon.
I better be going, my battery is running low.

Shabby Chic

I have not been up to much. It is always busy at my house. We never get anything done, lol. We are so busy with tons of other things. I guess the most I have done is buy a laptop for each of us. I ended up getting this one. It is my new baby. Picture me clutching and caressing it, lol. I guess I really am a geek. I have been a busy bee endlessly researching Windows 7. Looking for everything that it is compatible with. Eric got his laptop last week, I had to wait until today to get mine. I had the urge to drive around to look for the UPS guy. The box was at the UPS warehouse which is within 10 minutes of my house, all weekend. I called to see if I can go and pick it up and they said that they close on the weekend!! What the heck even the post office opens on Saturday, who do they think they are?? After all the anxiety I got my laptop and it is beautiful. I am so excited. *Squeal*

Ok, that is enough about that. I rediscovered shopstyle. I am having so much fun. Here is a budget friendly outfit that I put together. Its so fun. I have tons of ideas. I might actually go and buy this one.

I am having the hardest time trying to pick a theme for the blog. Its becoming annoying. I cannot make up my mind. Its unusually hard. I found a few that I narrowed down, but I need to make sure that I can add to it if I need it. I am currently edited pictures for my Oreo pop tutorial. They were so yummy. I made them for my coworkers as a Valentine’s Day. They loved them.

I have tons to do before work tomorrow so off I go.

Purchases

Ana — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 03:30:44 +0000

So I finally made a decision on my laptop. I was no so convinced with my purchase. I always end up with buyers remorse. Surprisingly when I bought the T1i, I had no remorse. I did not even second guess paying for it. However, when it came time to push submit order on Amazon, it took me about an hour. I ended up choosing this one. It ships out in March so I may have time to cancel. I am going to sleep on it. I am getting a great deal on it.

I will post more about it tomorrow morning. Goodnight.

T1i

I got my new camera. I am so excited. I have plenty to blog about but I am drained. I have taken about 200 pictures and I have had the camera for like 4 hours, lol. I got the Canon EOS T1i. Here are the unedited photos, well except for watermark and borders. Goodnight.

Oh, No!

Ana — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 01:22:07 +0000

That is Ariana’s new catch phrase. She throws things on the ground and says Oh, No! She is starting to repeat words more often now. It’s terribly cute.

I have been trying to decide on a layout for the blog. I think that I am liking this one. I do not necessarily like the way it displays only a bit of the post, but it works. I like the cleanness of it all. I am more than sure that it will start to bug me after a while.

I have to get my bow stuff organized tonight. I just received a lot of supplies and its too messy to put them away. I also want to get some bows made for Ariana and for the shop.

I am so ready to get my delicious tax money. I am going to be getting the Rebel T1i. I CANNOT wait. Look at it isnt it pretty.

I am having PC problems, so I may not be able to update. I will probably use the blogging feature on my blackberry.

Laid Back

Ana — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 04:35:16 +0000

I have been so busy and lazy. That is not a good combination. Eric went back to work on Tuesday after his time off. We are car pooling together. I am half asleep, because we leave at six as opposed to me leaving at 7:30, ok 7:50. I get to work late often, lol. I guess being on time is the pro, the waking up at 5 am is the con.

Work has been extra hectic. I was off for a couple of days because of the accident. (reminds me that I need to post an entry about that.) The paper work has just piled up. I had to go ahead and work on that today. Sure it sucks going in on a sunday, but I will have it done when admin asks for it. Luckily I am off tomorrow. I am just to just kick my feet back and lay back! all day long I will de stress.

New Closet

Ana — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 07:01:18 +0000

My 9th resolution was to declutter my life. One of the man sources of the clutter is our closet. So we decided to remodel our closet. We headed over to Lowe’s and found a shelf with a rod. We bought two. We tore down the existing rod and let me tell you, who ever built it should be proud because it took alot to get it down. We had to prime the closet because it was painted and ugly green bluish color, yuck! After the primer dried we painted the with the brownish color. We had a hard time installing the shelves The instructions said to nail them into place. Using nails did not work as it did not hold on our wall for some reason. We ended up with huge holes. We ended up using wall anchors. We got both of them hung up. I was so excited when we finally finished. The first one took forever, the second one took about 5 minutes to install. I am wanting to add some of these to the kids closets because it is easier to have clothes and other storage and it was extremly low cost. The shelves were 8 dollars each at Lowe’s and the hardware was 15 total!!! So 23 for a new closet, you can’t beat that!

Before:

After:

I am sad to say that all of my clothes will not fit. The clothes hanging up is not even HALF of my clothes. I am a clutter bug. I am not hanging up clothes that I will never fit into. I took out some of the stuff and need to set a date for a yard sale. We are going to be painting the rest of our room. I bought a bunch of baskets from Dollar Tree to use for storage on the closet shelves. I cannot believe that I am actually excited to organize.

Inspiration

Tuesday 10: New Year’s Resolutions

Ana — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 17:45:30 +0000

Here is my list of resolutions. I may add to it, but none will be removed. I am going to try and keep them.

Get Fit. (I mean it.)
Rid myself of the fake people claiming to be my friend. ( I have real friends that deserve my attention.)
Live life for my Family. I am an adult with a family, if you still live your life as a 19 year old club goer, we will not be friends in 2010.
Continue my education.
Show my Family, friends and loved ones that I love them.
Eat healthier. (That means no eating out)
Organize my life, every aspect of it. I am tired of the clutter.
Take more pictures. I used to take so many.
Stress less. I will not let stress bog me down.
Enjoy myself. I tend to take things to seriously sometimes. I need to relax.
