Extreme Makeover.. I like watching the show extreme makeovers and keep thinking that I'd like to do it but don't and can't leave for 6-8 weeks to have it done..I'd like to have it done but i wonder is it possible not to have to leave my home during the time to have it done?? Here is what I'd like done i think..not too sure about the surgery aspects of it though: Laser Eye Surgery Weigh loss and toning help on my stomach - don't know if i really need lipo Lipo on my thighs (not real sure about the surgery though) my teeth fixed..although not veneers, I like my teeth, I just have a wierd crooked one, I don't particulary like my smile and clothing help   11:18:09 PM    comment [] trackback []

odds and ends I gave an potential employer this blog address..hmmmm..i guess as long as she takes it in context, its ok. Its getting better, I think when I finally let go of the anger of being laid off from a great job and realizing that my move here is part of the cycle in my life and that everything happens for a reason..it gives me a year to decide where I really want to live..now that I live out in the middle of nowhere and near the water..i realize I don't particulary like it..i want to live around people in a neighborhood with a backyard..close to a neighborhood store where everyone knows your name kind of thing... funny thing, I was sitting here at my desk reading emails and I looked up and this woman was looking in my window..weird, just odd. now i remember what else i was going to talk about...I just had too, I was by my old neighborhood today because my bank is over there..so I went by the old house to see if he sold it yet and guess what? Its still for sell, my old landlord is an idiot...he had two renters and income and now the houses just sit empty waiting and he won't be able to sell until he fixes the molding in the walls on both houses and the termite problems...should have sold the nice house round the corner and kept his rental income...alas it was time for me to move, something in that house was making my cats sick and they are better now..oooo..i just had a great idea for one of my categories redesign...hmmmm..off to play why is it when I ask a question on the radio discussion board..no answers, when someone else asks the same question a couple of days later, answers..just curious 5:46:22 PM    comment [] trackback []

found the right path..i think I realized something today, if i look under the clerical/admin jobs on all these job search engines..there are more jobs like Manager of Admin or Executive Assistant/Accounting type of jobs which I more than qualified for and are paying better and I don't need an accounting degree or cpa certification to qualify for...WAHOO!!! And you know I don't particulary want an accounting degree, never really have..I might go take some classes on cost accounting and some other basic accounting stuff but I never really wanted to be an accountant...what i really would love to be is a massage therapist or a writer or both and I guess I need to figure out what I need to do to get to that point. The writing part, I need inspiration and if I'm sitting at home doing nothing but looking for a job..the inspiration ain't happening. The massage therapist part..i just need to go to school and get a license and some hours but first I need a real job to get going on that one..moola is needed and first I need to pay off the bills and get debt free.. and I've come to the not so freaked out point that i actually have until July 1st - drop dead date and I'm out of money date..that I must have a real job. I guess I'm just bored and ready to start working again...but like I said magick happens, I'm at this point in my life to figure out where I need to be and where I'm going..ok enough rambling...i'm doing better today! 5:40:36 PM    comment [] trackback []

updating template design a little updating/tweaking theme a little permalink symbol - this one should work  color of time  - worked subscriptions - worked see if this works :) 3:12:10 PM    comment [] trackback [] magick will find me.. where are all the jobs? I'm feeling much better today and i haven't looked for any jobs today..though I'd give myself a break. And i still have an ear infection which is driving me nuts I got an email yesterday from one of my temporary placement agencies and she has a bunch of part time bookkeeping positions available at $14.00 per hour...lets see if I took 3 of these, then I'd barely be able to make ends meet...so what do I do? I want to work but I don't want to take something that isn't going to work for me in the long run...and I realize that I have until May 20th to find something..so I've got another month to go..and magick will find me.. and magick happens...i need to let go of this anger that I feel towards my last company which is holding me back and just go with the flow in my life, something good will happen, I've never been one to stress about things and i need to find that happy magical place again and let it lead me towards something good..find my muse again, be creative and be happy.. 2:44:50 PM    comment [] trackback []

angry and bored Yesterday I was pissed off and angry, I can't seem to find work, any work, I sit in my house and am completely bored..there is only so much housework to accomplish which I don't like doing anyways and then my mom asking me if I've applied to any jobs..like what else does she think I'm doing. Everyday I get up and look for a job, I apply to at least 20 jobs on craigslist, hot jobs, monster, dice, you name it, I've applied. I've even applied as far away as San Jose which would be a 3 hour commute for me and I've even started looking out of state. I think I must be getting a bad reference from my last company..just a gut feeling..i wish someone could call for me and find out what they are saying about me. I feel like I have to defend myself to my mom as to why i got laid off. I realized I was laid off from Networld because of my actions but it was a mutual thing at that point..i was tired of working there and I found this great job afterwards but apparently it seems like its my fault for getting laid off..and its not. I would not own someone else bad accounting practices for the auditors. And I was played from day 1 on that job and I feel like an idiot. And I refuse to fix the books for the international controller, its illegal here and I will not be responsible for illegal actions, period! I'm angry because I shouldn't have to defend myself to my mom. I can't even seem to get temporary work, what the hell is that last company saying about me? and i'm bored, i can't go out because i don't have even money. I have enough money with unemployment for the next two months to live, pay rent and pay the bills, after that I'm screwed if I don't find a job.  and then i guess some people trying to be helping refer me to network organizations - which by the way cost money and school cost money..so i sit here bored out of my mind. and for anyone wondering where I disappeared too..when i'm angry and depressed, i don't want to deal with anyone why doesn't anyone want to hire me?????? 4:08:08 PM    comment [] trackback []

I had a great interview yesterday and sent a followup email to let the guy know i was very very interested in the job but haven't heard a peep..i wonder am i doing something wrong? I realize I don't have an accounting degree but i have the experience. I am qualified damnit!why won't they call back? I'm frustrated, i send out resumes, i go to interviews then nada...anyone have any advice? 7:36:11 PM    comment [] trackback []

lazy day i've accomplished nothing today..just lazy and satisfied although I did manage to get over my phobia of going into the unknown and being downright shy and went down to the fitness center to see it, figure out if the second laundry room was down there and check out the lap pool and yes the second laundry room is there...so tomorrow's goals are: Get up early before 10am Pay the bills Apply for every job qualified on craigslist Get my pop email service for my email so I can download to Outlook (this is a biggie - my free yahoo account is getting too full) Do the laundry and while I'm doing the laundry, exercise and hopefully swim a few laps if its warm enough Get off this computer and go outside!! Something about sleeping late into the afternoon ruins the day for me, i get nothing accomplished and i'm still sleepy maybe cuz i slept too long or maybe its the antibotics for my ear infections.. 5:12:43 PM    comment [] trackback [] the nearest book i was reading cause what's real is really real and this is a great exercise 1.

i have scardy cats. i've been letting the cats out front every once in a while..a couple of them have figured out how to get from the back to the front but can't figure out how to get in the front door...and for some reason if i'm not watching them, it appears to be no fun to be in the front..they all run back in the house..but today i was out with them and a little kid was outside...all of them ran back in the house..i tell you all five of them are scardy cats *grin* 7:43:31 PM    comment [] trackback []

resume on new domain, rambling about re-designs I just remembered I posted my resume on my new domain..had to get something to replace comcast email..so I just got my own domain....which include a website..so for now instead of it saying "under construction" at least something is up on it.. the link for winds of magick no longer works on the left side blogroll...eventually when i re-design this site..the new link will be up...if i keep talking about re-designing the site, eventually I will do it *grin*..its just going to take a lot more effort than before because i have a layout and a design from Soul Karma - love her work (actually two designs) but need to make it work with Radio back to what i was saying..my resume is posted on my new domain: www.juliewiggins.com I need to add some meta-tags for it but too tired to deal with it right now.   12:53:48 AM    comment [] trackback [] Ad-aware, AI Robo and thanks my computer is happy again Ad-Aware is one of the best, free programs that I installed today to get rid of all the damn spyware off my computer..ITS ALL GONE!!! Thanks for the info J. Miller!!! Partly this was my fault that I had spyware in the first place, I had Gator loaded on my computer which is a program that autofills in my passwords..great little program but it auto downloads spyware and tells you its a patch for their program. Gator Corp changed its name to Claria to get rid of the bad press..wonder why? Well I found an alternative to Gator which is AI Robo - free trial, no spyware, no ads, no crap embedded in the system and works so much better.. Tomorrow or soon..I will be reseating all my cards in my computer, changing the keyboard and see if that is causing the task manager issue and the bios beeping issues.. but I did manage to get Task Manager back via a shortcut on my desktop..thanks again jm.. and i didn't have to resinstall the operating system..just needed to clean out the crap on my hard drive.. 12:40:33 AM    comment [] trackback []

Antispyware or start over with reinstall? getting rid of spyware and protecting against it...  While I'm not one for advocating downloading just anything to my computer..since i keep getting hit with spyware...but tonight I finally just downloaded some freeware for getting rid of all the spyware on my computer...i had this weird spidersearch thing and then this xadso spyware and continous popups from that and some wierd shop at home select crap on my computer...so i finally downloaded CWShredder and Spyware Blaster and Spyware Guard.. CWShredder to get rid of the spyware, spyware blaster to keep it from coming to me and guard to warn me that its trying to hijack my computer..if any interest for those downloads, email me and I'll send the links to you all in all..i think I've got it all..or at least I hope I do..my computer seems to be running better..and wahoo..didn't have to reinstall the operating system :) I still can't get to the task manager but next week, I'll reseat all my cards and RAM and see if that is causing a problem with the bios beeps and the ctrl+alt+delete issues....maybe it was a bumpy ride over in the car for the computer during the move or maybe my keyboard is going out again...anyways..at least the spyware is gone..thank god.. I posted before about the freeware spyware blaster and now I'm thinking I should just buy some antispyware software because I still keep getting hit with all this spyware and its still somewhere on my computer...but the questions I have are: what is the best out there but not expensive? does anyone know anything about McAfee's Antispyware Software? Will it remove what is already here and clean it all up? would you reinstall everything and start over with a clean slate or just install antispyware software? (this is the last resort but I'm tired of having to get rid of all this crap daily) any other suggestions? Just an additional to this post..combined two posts and strike some of the info..thank you so much for the emails and suggestions.. 12:16:09 AM    comment [] trackback []

how to get rid of comcast title on internet explorer I had comcast internet when I lived in Pleasant Hill and while I loved having a fast always on connection, I couldn't stand the popups generated by Comcast. I was also a little annoyed with the fact that my internet explorer title always said "Microsoft Internet Explorer provided by Comcast" well, after a little searching on various discussion boards (apparently I'm not the only one annoyed) today i found out how to get rid of the "provided by Comcast" title and how to get rid of the annoying popups generated by Comcast *disclaimer: do not do this unless you're familar with your computer and how it works inside - i have windows xp* start > run > regedit hkey_current_user -> software -> microsoft -> internet explorer -> main double click on "window title" delete the section that says "provided by xxxxx" exit regedit reboot computer Program Files > delete the folder called "Comcast" (you don't need it to connection to the cable modem and to the internet) empty recycle bin I no longer have Comcast generated popups and my title bar says Microsoft Internet Explorer. The funny thing is that first I was told to reset my web settings..that did nothing except reset my configurations and my security levels. Then I was told that I should delete internet explorer and resintall it - this is something I did not want to do, I didn't want to lose any settings...then I remember something, I know this stuff, I'm not afraid to play with my regedit - cautious yes, but not afraid and anything I want to find is most likely on the internet because other people have these problems too..and I like IT, I like solving these types of problems... 1:56:12 PM    comment [] trackback [] questions on windows xp and other things.. I've been having some computer problems..mainly my wireless connection and my internet connection keep going up and down and I was hit by yet another virus and spyware..which I have gotten rid of both..and maybe i'm just use to a cable modem instead of a DSL line and use to my internet connection speed being faster..and maybe DSL lines go up and down alot...i have no idea..does anyone have any ideas on this one?? a friend said that i need to re-install my windows xp operating system and that would solve all the problems..this seems like the easy way out.. any opinions? I don't really want to reinstall everything and start over..i like the way i've set up my system, shouldn't windows XP be stable enough to handle surfing the internet? Is this his ploy to get his customers to reinstall once a year to make extra money? I think i won't be re-installing my operating system at this point..today it seems stable to me and seems to be working a whole better since I got rid of all the extra spyware clogging up my system..:) but i'm just curious any thoughts or opinions would be a great help.. 2:28:50 AM    comment [] trackback []

questions to ponder what is it with long hair cats and foxtails? How do those weird little curly foxtails find their way into only the long hair cats? not only do i have 5 cats that mainly are indoor cats now, i have two that have long hair and daily maintenance along with growling and biting me, i have to find all those little foxtails and remove them who invented foxtails? do they serve some kind of purpose in this world? why?   2:23:18 PM    comment [] trackback [] Sixflags Commerical I love this sixflags commerical (click on the playtime link)....something about the little old guy and the music gets me going into playtime....   1:41:45 PM    comment [] trackback [] Redesign thoughts and other thoughts I'll be re-designing my blog (I found this great site with blog layouts..I'll share the information once I'm done re-designing), changing/combinging some categories, changing old links, etc. over the weekend..i think, I'm in the middle of this great book, Shore of Women, which might slow down the process of actual redesigning...and I'm almost done unpacking.. The cats are still a little freaked out about this new place and don't venture far from my side and seem a little pissed at me when i leave all day...although one of my cats, Spanky has a little friend named Radio, I tried to get a picture of Radio but he's still a kitten and thinks we're playing instead of sitting still.  The older cats are freaked out by the blowhorns of the boats and the train rumbling pass..i admit I can't sleep to it either..I think I miss living near a freeway.. and the only bad thing that happened after the move is that my fish died..i guess moving her was too tramatic for her..so all in all we're getting use to this place but I'll still be moving back to Pleasant Hill in a year..i miss it, i miss living in a house and a neighborhood where people talk to each other, i miss living in a house where there are no noises upstairs and I miss living close to anything...to get gas here, I have to get on the freeway..i guess i now know i wouldn't be happy living in the middle of nowhere 1:33:49 PM    comment [] trackback []

bored and its too late to hang pictures first i just realized i didn't post anything on the 31st or the 1st..which i hope doesn't create a weird month end calendar problem...unless someone at radio fixed this problem?? second...i was going to hang up pictures tonight but finally just got around to it...but as any person living in an apt knows..banging on the walls at 11pm just doesn't work for the neighbors...so i guess hmmm...what to do that's quiet...maybe i'll go reorganize the storage outside...i can be quiet i think i miss living in a house where I can do whatever i want in the middle of the night, play the music loud, bang on the walls...a night owl probably shouldn't be living in an apt..i'm awake when everyone is asleep and the guy upstairs must have a whole built in gym or something..constantly exercising... third, on the job front...things are looking up i think...i have an interview on tuesday..and a direct hire placement interview on Monday..something good will happen soon..i just sunk into a lousy depression after being laid off..at least before i knew I wanted to leave the job..but this last one, it was out of blue..i liked the job, i liked the people.... fourth - thinking about getting rid of some of these categories..paring it down a bit and adding some new things...winds of magick got deleted when i moved...so either i find another home for it or just add it here..(note to self: you must finish unpacking before redoing your site) and last but not least...if anyone had my home email...email me at julie@sexymagick.com... its where you can find me now...(wow the hyperlink auto did itself - meaning i didn't have to go do any html code..is this a new feature in radio?) 11:13:38 PM    comment [] trackback []
