ok, definitely one for the “ugh disgusting!” files.
got sunburn last week (attriel without his shirt on? EWWWW …. shaddap)
it started peeling yesterday …
this morning during my shower, i start soaping up and …. suddenly there’s a skin bubble filled with soapy water … that’s just plain disgusting

apparently the macleods have been whacking too many folks lately :o
macduff, macbeth, we’ve got our eyes on you!
Ok, here’s a question.
looking at the forecast for here, and i’m seeing:
tonight is thunder storms
tomorrow is thunder showers
tomorrow night is thunder storms
wtf is the difference between a thunderstorm and a thundershower????
last week we decided to paint up the spare room, since it was bereft of furniture and all anyway.
and we decided we’d go ahead and set it up as a nursery, since we’re unlikely toreally need the room before then anyway. it’s only a couple years at this point
right?
except, apparently, not so much with the right-ness part :o we are, apparently, NOT waiting that extra year. oops
OK, so i decided to switch off of MT. I’ve always had issues with MT, so what the heck :)
also, since this is php not perl, it runs server cleaner stuff.
uh yeah. honest, that made sense :p
feel like i should file this under “work” :o
spent the last two days painting the upstairs bedroom. since all the furniture was out for hte floor from a couple months back, we figured it was a good time to paint. and we decided we’d go ahead and paint the nursery, since i’m not gonna want to re-RE-paint it again in a couple years when we need it :o
doing a split wall. bottom 1/3rd (we levelled it at the window sill) is “sunset orange”, and the rest is some shade of sky blue. did the ceiling in a paler shade of blue. and except where the paint from the ceiling splotched on the wall, i couldn’t tell the difference between the ceiling and the old wall color. which is sad, b/c they were quite different (pale blue vs a fairly green blue)
anyway, did the ceiling yesterday, then we started taping off the border for me to paint the orange. ended up going out to home depot and picking up a “straight line tool”. it’s just like a plumb bob, but horizontal and less accurate (you hold the end and unwind to where you want. but you’re holding both ends and trying to figure out a level in between. it has hooks to hang off the line, but you have to wind the line in every two or three bits to re-chalk it. i think it came out MOSTLY straight) taped, and did the orange last night. it was splotchy and you could see the strokes b/c of the darker base
this morning after dropping k off, i did the ceiling a second coat to even it up, then the orange again. then lunch, blue. that took freakin’ FOR-EVER. like 2-3 hours. picked up k, dinner, went back to do second coat of upper blue and third of lower orange.
Both nights, kiir’s gone to bed before i finished. it’s a lotta work. and we intend to do a stencil border between blue & orange (found it on disney’s site with the household paints; it’s big up, small, big down, small , big up, etc, with a character stencil in each square. we’re doing a pooh theme, so it’d be pooh, piglet, tigger … we’re not sure how it’s goign to work out. last time i did stencils they were poor, but they were also pencil stencils, and these are real painting stencils so …) it’ll take a bunch of work, but we think it’ll look really nice.
in the meantime, i’m tired and i’m sore. and before the shower, i was dripping wet b/c the fans were off while I painted to keep the paint from drying badly (as it was, i couldn’t tell where i’d been if i took like a 2 minute break to drink some water; freakin’ paint dried!!!! apparently i was suckingall moisture from the room or something :o)
been looking at ajax. thinking of a couple useless things i can do with it to practice, get my chops as ’twere
keep going back to the idea of writing stuff again, too. i get the urge every 12-18 months, play around with it for a couple weeks until work/k/finances/etc drag me down too far to think about anything creative :/
thinking i may put together a totally useless little ajax based writer/viewer for stuff. of course, it’s likely that the ajax toy would be all that got done (assuming i did even that much) before i dropped it again. haven’t really written anything since college, too busy with everything else.
feels like my life got away from me at some point. and god, looking at jobs, i feel like i’m turning into a fucking corporate drone. one thing about my current position: the flex time lets me phone it in on bad days. and i get a lot of time to look into new toys (heck, this weekend i’ve learned the basics of AJAX and ruby on rails … oi).
somebody stop the world. i wanna get out.
ok. so yeah.
i’m bored. you’ve never heard me say that have you? eh? ok, excepting like every few minutes the last couple dozen years, i mean
i went to googleblogs and was just hitting the “random blog” link. and they all look so much better than this junker. kiir suggested i could redesign my blog. i pointed out that i could always just DESIGN my blog to begin with :o
other thing i noticed was i don’t really say anything. mostly just bitch about this and that and beat around the bush without saying anything. i don’t have any real topic or focus or anything. everything else i flipped through had some focus at least. “my vacation” “i’m a track runner” “i like cookies” yadda.
I wonder if i need a gimmik. everyone else had one :o
…
of course, they were all boring as fuck, and i couldn’t bring myself to read past, say, the first post title …
but that’s probably just my short att……
so went last wed to sell the car. b/c when i went in may i realized i didn’t have a copy of the title anywhere. so i got the title and went back to do it.
get through the initial process (offer is 500$ lower now :/) and go to proceed … and apparently my title still shows the lien from the carloan i paid off two years ago??? *sigh*
but the same day we got an offer for an equity loan. ignoring that, we went to the credit union and talked to them, filled out an app an’ stuff. now, for some reason, all the times i was looking at how to reduce our costs pay off bills etc (which led me to the idea of selling the car, to begin with) … i thought of refinancing the mortgage, but kept thinking that (a) the house hasn’t gone up THAT much to make it worthwhile, (b) the rates HAVE gone up to make it annoying (although switching to 30 from 20 would reduce payments, it would raise the rate by nearly a % i think, plus whatever increases from last year) …
it NEVER OCCURRED to me that mortgage is best up to 80%, but an equity loan is still clean to 90%. 10% is a lot :o so we applied for that, gonna pay off bills (reduce our monthly by half or more) … then we’re going to do what was suggested at t-day. freeze the cards. that way they’re there, if you NEED them, but they’re not there to randomly whip out everytime you wanna buy something new.
who knows. maybe consolidating will actually help this time.
