You know sucks about having great news and being single? There is no one to share it with except the cats and they aren't much help, they're all hot and sleeping and they don't exactly get excited unless i have treats.
sooo..I went and looked at the house today, exactly how I remember it, the bedrooms are a little small but I'd have a room for an office and there isn't a dishwasher - I'd definetly have to put one it. And its a good location - couple of houses from the main road which is good for the cats. A huge huge lot. Small small closets. A gorgeous deck. Although I really wanted a master bedroom with a sliding glass door to the patio..sooo maybe this isn't the house for me but it would be interesting to move back into a house I've already lived in.
But I think first, I should see how much I can qualify for and then maybe I can qualify for more and buy something in a better neighborhood or closer to Pleasant Hill..it wouldn't kill me if I didn't get this house because magick keeps happening and I'll find that perfect home for me.

New Newbie Tips:
Moving the calendar and adding a a picture for Movable Radio Modern Template
Changing the Placement of the Long Date
=========================================================
interesting - lets see if this works, if you don't want the date to appear at the top of your posts...do you just delete the longdate macro in the day template? omg, its that easy. Lets see if you want the permalink and the long date to appear at the bottom of your text - do you just insert it into the item template instead? lets see..nope, archive link gets funky when you move it..but the longdate worked..
so how does one make those changes..answers soon..gotta go change the litter and take out the trash..maybe upstreaming will be a little faster when i come back?
oops one more idea, then I'll get upxxx, ok got that to work...

so I bought the new green tea frappucino at Starbucks the other day and one of my clients asked me what was I drinking "its the new greeen tea frappucino". He asked how it tasted and it reminded me of pink milk, so thats what I told him. He had this look on his face, like what the hell was I talking about and I said again, "it reminds me of pink milk."
Hours later, many many moons later, it dawned on me, he had no idea what pink milk was. He had never had pink milk. And the quizzical looks around the room when I said, "you know, pink milk," leads me to believe they others had never had pink milk. That look that reminds one of they are thinking I'm crazy. But seriously, it reminded me of pink milk not green tea.
I was at a baby shower not so long ago for my sister and the topic some how came to how much my sister loves milk. And so, she turns to me and says, "you like milk too? right?" Oh, I love milk. I have at least 1-2 or more glasses per day. I almost prefer milk to soda these days and I always would rather have milk for dinner than anything else and that's what I told everyone. And again, that look of like you two are crazy, like maybe we were from another planet.
As I was relaying the story to my mom, she said it was because those girls never had pink milk when they were little.
I still love pink milk and one of my cats, miss princess ticklenose, loves pink milk. I wonder if my sister will give her kid pink milk and we can continue the tradition of pink milk. And those crazy looks, maybe someday I'll explain myself, when I say. "it reminds me of pink milk."

i got up, got some work done, left the house, got the errands done, got a new fax machine that actually works and finally went and worked out again...despite being on medication thats making me all loopy, I feel so much better after working out and sweating and that little extra push I needed came from a friend telling me I looked so much sexier now that I was losing the weight...
new rule for me when I'm working from home..work in the morning..its not too hot and then afternoon - either errands or do something for me, that way I can still have some downtime, get things done and not work through my whole weekends..I need ME time to play, to draw, to write, to blog, to do anything besides accounting and IT stuff.
I think the kitties need their own mailbox on the answering machine.. I have the ability of 3, me, the business and currently the other business but how cute would it be - if you press1 for me, press2 for CC and press3 for the cats. Yep, medication is making me all loopy and giggly, thank god only a few more days on it.

apparently I'm allergic to yellow, red and orange ink used for tattoos...i have an infection on my foot where the butterfly is located - its a yellow, orange and red butterfly - good thing I didn't get the one I really wanted - yikes its bigger and its completely yellow and red...
the doctor at the urgent care today, told me to stick with green, blues and purples from now on which reminds me of another reason I need to move back to contra costa county..I couldn't for the life of me find a urgent care place open in Vallejo today and the urgent care I went to in Concord was a little cheaper than going to the doctor..although as soon as I can, I going to look into getting health care..especially after today..I do need something just in case
not much to say except owwwwwwwww..my foot hurts...
thanks tweezerman for the info :)

I've been saving all these things to add to my blog - just didn't have time to open up radio and add the codes to the home page template or add new links to my blogroll and this morning I woke up and realized I can do anything I want to do today - there is no work for today, whatever I want to do..so blogging, adding to shimmeringenergy design, maybe putting chaotic cancellation on its on host server and adding all these misc items to sexymagick
another misc item that's been sitting on my desktop waiting for me to post
30
Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax. What Age Do You Act?

I got a call from my San Diego client - project has been postponed, next week has been cancelled...its always happens when the client tries to rush a big database cutover..I totally understand but I want at least one of these big projects to be completed and not forever in limbo..so I rushed around today cancelling all my reservations - the airfare - not refundable, the hotel for the week, the car rental and the pet sitter - the latter three - since i cancelled the reservations a day before, no cancellation fees, thank god and my client is paying for any charges I have because of the short notice and my friend that was going to borrow the car for a week - hope I didn't mess up his plans - but still I was looking forward to a week sort off and going to the zoo and sea world and doing fun touristy things on Sunday..maybe I'll just go do fun touristy things here..i can't remember the last time I went fisherman's wharf..but seriously its not the same, San Diego is hot, SF is not.
The other news of the day - my CPA died, I didn't know her long but I really liked her. I knew she was sick, but her cancer was in remission and then she suddenly got sick again recently and had stopped working but everyone thought she'd be back on her feet in no time..and she died Monday, so sad.

Message to M: congrats on trying to quit smoking - but I thought you were going to hold out for the ring :)
That was interesting, I was looking for something on my blog today - something from 2 years ago and my post was missing, I wonder how many other posts are missing - the links there but the post was missing..
my other blog seems to be down..so you might see me posting here more in the next couple of days but then I'll be out of town for a week and no access to this blog..
no real new thoughts except today i was so tired that i think i feel asleep while working..you know that feeling when you're completely spaced out and are startled awake..wondering did i fall asleep and its definetly time to go home...I CAN NOT FUNCTION on 4 HOURS OF SLEEP
wait - i just remember other thoughts floating in my head
Never tell your mother about loaning money out to people who you completely utterly trust to return it when they can when you owe your mother money - geez, I wasn't looking for a lecture or a guilt trip and I was plan on paying it back as soon as I got this money from the farm lease - but damn, I'll just pay it back as soon as possible
Have you ever sent someone an email offering help - lets see it was how to fix her template using html code and she sent me back an email explaining to me how to work with html - duh, did she even read the email and she asked for help, if she already knew how to do it, why ask?
then i sent an email reply back to someone about my accutane journal and she replied, so what was your situation? how did she think i got her email?
oh..now the good part, I might actually be thinking of purchasing a MAC - couple of reasons, it could potentially help with the webdesign/graphics end of the business and it could help with my music - if I decide to take the class, I originally wanted to do something with music in my life and just got a whole lot sidetracked and it seems as soon as I pay my mom back that I might be able to afford to at least get back a little of what I originally want to do - at least as a fun hobby/downtime
so I think that's my data dump for the night, I'm sure I'll sleep like dead wood tonight, i'm exhausted
off to eat and then to bed early!!

haven't updated much..so little time these days to blog..all work and no sleep or play is making Julie really a tired person..
the cats threw up on a piece of paper I was writing a poem on..ick...so in order to preserve the beginnings of the poem..i started this the day I got my new foot tat..
butterflies swimming softly into the midnight air
balancing upon the vines of change
floating delicately upon the circle of life
ever changing directions
vines intertwining with the moon and stars
trailing heavens as a glimmer of life
honestly, I don't remember the healing process to be this painful - my foot is killing me and I have to go to San Diego next week for a client migration/cut over - I hope it starts healing soon..as soon as its healed, part two of the tat gets finished, the vines intertwining the moon and starts and some sparkly like glimmer added

one of those wonderful surprises when I awoke today, I got up as usual, half asleep stumbled into the kitchen to make coffee, opened my eyes and realized there were bird feathers everywhere..so I assume they ate the bird - never ever assume when you cats!!
I investigated further and lo and behold, there layed half an eaten bird on the kitchen floor, disgusting to say the least, all bloody and crushed, missing a head, missing feathers - gross to say the least.
I quickly walked out of the kitchen and thought to myself, I am going to throw up - how am I going to get that thing off the floor? Was this the right day to quit smoking? Apparently not! Were the cats trying to tell me something, like they don't want me to be irritable for a week? And why, oh why couldn't they have eaten the whole bird?
Slowly, breath deeply, I went in search of my last few cigarettes, I was going to need the nicotine to deal with the half chewed, half feathered thing on my kitchen floor. What I really needed was coffee but that meant going back into the kitchen and it was still there lying on the floor.
Ok, I thought to myself, just grab some paper towels, don't look and put it in the trash, don't think about it and take the trash out asap. I rounded the corner, grabbed the paper towels, took a quick look to see where it was located and closed my eyes. OMG, it was squishy. I quickly scooped it up and threw it in the trash.
I realized one of the cats was going to be sick, whoever caught the bird, must be the one with the feathers stuck in his fur, must have been one hell of a fight because the feathers are strewn about the living room, the dining room and the kitchen and I heard nothing last night except the pitful cat outside meowing to get inside upstairs.
As I went about my day, the thought of half chewed, squishy bird parts on my kitchen floor and feathers that need to be cleaned up disappeared until I walked into the house this evening and realized ick, I'm going to have to clean up and make sure there are no more little bird parts somewhere in the house.
cats and birds, why can't they just get along? why oh why must cats eat birds? And if they eat birds, why can't they just the whole thing?
