coffee fluff

March 25, 2006 7 Comments

Honestly, I am so dorky lately (dorkiER). I just made a pot o’ coffee, filled up my little canister with some freshly ground stuff, then I pressed the bag against my chest to get the air out before I sealed it up again. Yup, just like Pigpen from Charlie Brown – a full cloud of fine coffee dust poofed up around my face and in my eyeballs. duh.

Kind of like when I stopped in the hallway at the hospital to help a guy in a wheelchair get moving. He was stuck for some reason, and as I bent over to try and unlock a wheel, or whatever was making him immobile, he said something that I didn’t quite get, and I kept futzin’ around. Finally, I tuned in to what he was trying to tell me – my water bottle (opened water bottle), which I had stuck under my armpit to free up my hands, was draining all over the floor while I was bent over. double duh.

I’m not the only *duh* around here tonight. I got an email from an FMG visitor. Yes, she “loves my stuff” BUT, and I quote, “i just wish you put the effort of mouse-over effects. i am so used to seeing them everywhere that it seems without them i am transported back to 1995.”

Welll well well. I politely told her that for my paying clients, I give them whatever they want. Ya get what you pay for, right? geeeesh. Some people, I tell ya.

Hey, the TV Land Awards are on, and there’s all of these old tv show people on it. eh. Not in the mood. Actually, I’d love to go to bed right about now, but then I’d wake up way too early – it’s my saving lives weekend. Anyhooo… awww, the whole Dallas gang. I don’t remember Charlene Tilton’s boobs being that big…

Ok, I’m outta here. Have a loverly Sunday you guys!

fish, rain, and penicillin

March 24, 2006 5 Comments

Did I ever tell you any of my fishy stories? I happened to hear something on the tv in the background about a fish taxidermist and that reminded me of my own experience with stuffing a fish.

Dude the OscarI used to be a tropical fish aficionado (had 6 tanks at a time, the grand-daddy was a 90 gal tank). I loved my fishies and they loved me – really. Anyway, Dude was a big old 8 inch Oscar who had his own tank to himself.

Sooo, one morning my daughter called me at work and whispered into the phone, “Dad wants to tell you something,” and quickly put hubby on the phone. Now, that was freakin’ me out to begin with ‘cos they never called me at work.

“Honey? I have some bad news.”
“Oh no, now what?!” (still freakin’ out)
“Dude died.”
“What???”
“Dude is dead. When we got up this morning and went into the living room, he was on the floor over by the window. Dead.”
“oh”
“I put him in the freezer in case you want to get him stuffed.”
“oh. OH, ok. Well, that was sweet of you… I’ll have to check that out, I have no idea what something like that would cost…”
“OK honey. I’m sorry. I know he meant a lot to you. He must have just jumped out of the tank…”
“Ya, jumped to his death… hey, gotta go. Love you.”
“Love you too. See you tonite. Bye”
“Bye.”

I did look into having him stuffed, but it was some ridiculous price, and of course I never did… but wasn’t that sweet of hubby to think of me like that? awww.

Lenny the Lion-fishI also got stung by my Lion Fish, Lenny. Lenny was also king of his own salt-water tank, and really was a gorgeous fishy (these photos are old n’ moldy). Lion Fish have venomous spiny fins, and I knew enough to steer clear of them, but once when I was cleaning the inside of the tank, I ran into one of those spines, and he had no choice but to sting me (he didn’t do it on purpose, it was my fault).

OUCH. It was really quite painful, but I did recall something about running the puncture wound under hot, hot water to dissipate the effects of the venom. I also called the ER to see if I should do anything different, and they advised me to come in.

Well, I probably was their comic relief that nite, because everyone that came in to see me kept asking, “You got stung by a what? A lion?”  Ultimately, they decided that I would live, gave me some benadryl, told me to keep a hot compress on it, and sent me home.

So those are a couple of my fish tales. There’s lots more, but I won’t keep you. Mumsy and I even went to a fish convention, imagine that! AND, my license plate proclaimed my love for Cichlids (the kind of fish we kept). Groovy.

I was going to tell you a rain and penicillin story, but I must go. I’ll tell ya later, k?

OH, btw, the spammers have found my comments, so I’ll be approving the comments from now on – so if you don’t see your comment, I haven’t checked’em yet. Sorry about that, I know it’s a pain in the butt.
Damn spammers.

medicine and saving lives

March 19, 2006 6 Comments

I just watched a fascinating movie, Something the Lord Made. It’s about the first heart surgery for “Blue Baby” syndrome at Johns Hopkins Hospital. You’ll have to read the synopsis ‘cos I suck at that. Between the movie and a new show on Discovery Health, Medical Maverik, I am proud to be a life saving health professional.

We work miracles every day. We really do save lives. We save people from the consequences of their recklessness, their environment, their being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and their genetic roll of the dice.

We comfort, problem solve, advocate, and serve.

We get blood on our hands, tears in our eyes, and gratitude in our hearts.

We make decisions, make mistakes, and make people’s quality of life better, if only for a few more days, months or years. Or not.

Sometimes it’s just a job, but in the end, I am proud of what I do and the difference that I make.

What pleasant thoughts to end my day.
xoxo

painting

Wow, after reading a glimpse of how David Bowers (link via AnnieBanannie) begins his paintings, I am reminded of why I don’t paint. I need more immediate results… impatient I guess.

I have to tell ya, a huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. I am 99% caught up with current client updates. A few that were still leftover from the boatload of requests that I got around Christmas! whew, it really, really feels good. Now I can begin a couple of new sites (no hippie guy from Jersey though, he never contacted me again — bummer).

I’m sleepy. And full. Just ate a big bowl of cereal. :::yawn:::
later all.

plug-ins and spit

March 11, 2006 2 Comments

Oooo, playing with a few plug-ins here – that’s a random header image thingie up there. fun.

I gotta tell ya something that I did tonite before I hit the hay. Went to the dentist, yet again, and he did a couple of crown preps, ok? That’s kind of besides the point, but it’s an extra reason that I was swishing water around in my mouth after I ate some cottage cheese… I do it rather frequently anyway if I don’t brush my teeth right after eating (ok, ok, I’m getting to it, hold yer horses!).

So I went into the kitchen, put our bowls in the sink, and scooped up some water in my mouth to swish it around and rinse. When I bent down to dry my mouth off on the hanging towel, I spit all of the water out on the kitchen floor – *pitooey* – just like that. And I paused for a second to wonder what the hell just happened? Just “pfoo” all over the floor. ha!

I don’t know what I thought I was doing… maybe bending down to wipe my mouth off before I spit in the sink threw me off or something. I cracked me up.

Well, I thought it was pretty funny anyway…

Ya know, I’m not really tired. Why do I have to go to bed now? I know I’ll just lay there and it will take me awhile to fall asleep.

The other nite I felt the same way, but since it was almost 4 o’clock, I thought I’d better. Well, something was up with Lucy. She couldn’t get comfortable and settle down, something was buggin’ her. She’d lay there for a second, then all of a sudden she’d dive into her crotch and start licking or biting or something. She kept doing it, so I even sat up, grabbed the flashlight, and looked around her little peepee to see if anything was weird (or bugs! ewww), but everything looked fine.

I finally fell asleep, and she was fine in the morning. Don’t know what that was all about, but it was annoying at the time.

Oh well, I s’pose I might as well go to bed, or I’ll be tired tomorrow. Besides, I want to get an early start in the morning.
c’yall later ~ nite.

flashback!

March 9, 2006 8 Comments

I am eating one of the most perfect red peppers that I’ve ever seen! Very heavy, a deep red and unblemished skin, with a green picture-perfect stem. It is so sweet it’s making my toes curl. yum.

All day I’ve thought of stuff and wanted to show you, but it’s so late now it pisses me off. But I didn’t post anything ‘cos I couldn’t/wouldn’t take the time… so I’ll try to be brief now so I can get my bootie to bed, k? (ya, me be brief?!)

Anyway, I was searching all over my computer for some older psd files that I could use for a new client. On a whim, I booted up my old pc tower that’s networked to this one, and low and behold, there they were. Then, being the easily distracted person that I am, I started snoopin’ around in there (the tower) and came across an older splash page for FMG, along with a little Flash thingie that I did (albeit an amateurish one). Take a lookie and click underneath the main image for the Flash – with your sound on…

Anyone remember that layout? And Joe’s old “i2k” page… ahh yes, flashback indeed.

Oh poopie, I must get to bed. Remind me to tell you about an old hippie guy from Jersey who called me today about a site for his band. Love to tell you now, but I gotta go dude!

‘nite
