It’s been cool here; I turned off the air condition. My cats like that, because I leave the porch door open. I always feel bad turning my air conditioning off during the day because I don’t know how hot it gets around noon/early afternoon. Poor kitties, they can’t take off their fur coats. They don’t seem to be any worse for the wear though, and they are contentedly chasing bugs on the porch as we speak.
10 days till Paul gets here!
After I recovered from the severe headache I woke up with today, I decided to take it easy. I spent the majority of the day crosstitching and designing things. I worked on and finished a portfolio for Paul for when he starts hunting for a new job in Atlanta, and I designed another website for someone else. I’m pretty happy with how they both turned out, but I think I’m going to have to tweak Paul’s some more… there is just something little about it that rubs me the wrong way; I think I’ll leave it alone for a few days and see if I notice it later.I’ve been thinking about my personal website, which is really outdated although I kinda do like the design. Again, it needs some – okay, a lot of tweaking… but mostly it needs to be updated. I’m not sure who goes there anymore, since I have this blog that’s updated more frequently. Should I just take it off completely? I’m definitely planning on leaving my electronic portfolio live, even though I have a job… I was looking at it today and thinking “wow, I really do like that!” Is it vain to really like your own designs?
I really do like to design. :-) I am glad I have a computer at home, with software that I can use to design on my own. And Paul is helping me learn CSS so I can design things that don’t take so long to load (like my portfolio :-p). Ideally I’d love to combine my website and my blog, but I think I’ll wait until later before I attempt that.
Days till I see Paul: 11
A few days ago I received the most awesome graduation card.

This is especially humorous because a few weeks ago I woke up one morning and found my graduation tassel on the pillow next to me. Since then I keep finding my three tassels at random places around my apartment, and I’ve finally given up having them displayed. Silly kitties…
Today was a productive day. I took a trip to the busy shopping section of town (I say busy because there is so much over there, including traffic). I bought Frankie and Anna’s wedding present, which I’m very excited about! And I got a gift for another friend who’s getting married in July (yes, I know at least 5 couples getting married in July… this is ridiculous!). I love getting gifts for people, and I especially love it when I find the perfect gift!
I have been thinking a lot about weddings recently, especially my own. Bad Ashley. I shouldn’t be thinking about my wedding because I don’t even know when that’s going to be; not any time soon. I can’t help myself… I love the idea of getting to plan a wedding again, and having a diamond on my finger again, and being able to count the days until I know I’m going to see Paul every day indefinitely. I know what I’m going to do differently this time… what I’m going to do the same…
Twelve days until I get to see Paul!
I’ve been living in a pig sty. My laziness has gotten out of hand. My apartment is a wreck! Okay, it’s not as bad as it could be, but I desperately need to take out the trash and do dishes. I don’t like living in a messy apartment, but I have no motivation to clean. Maybe tomorrow night I will dub it a cleaning night and open all the windows and get some air moving.
So four of the six fishies have died. :-( I’m wondering what I did wrong.
It’s been crazy busy at work. Let me tell you, the most difficult customers we have are the people from New York. I have been having such trouble with them. Moreso than any other area they are rude and difficult to work with. Like this one job… I have been very patient with him, giving him ample time to review his ad and get back to me… I have called him to remind him, but not enough to be annoying… Then as the deadline approached I started being a little more firm… and he gets mad and cancels his ad. He “couldn’t handle the pressure”. Sheesh, how frustrating is that!!
I keep reminding myself that there are lots of good, nice people to counteract the frustrating people. Even some good, nice people in New York!
I think I haven’t felt very enthusiastic about much recently. I am a bit lonely, and tired of waiting… But I know that it just takes time to find a good church and friends. *sigh*
Days till I see Paul: 14!
I think Walmart is confused. Check out the results I got when trying to find the closest walmart to me: (especially check out #6):
