The Small Things

Getting lost in Venice for 3 days, we kept seeing the best doorbell intercoms everywhere.  Worn down, utilitarian and still so much personality to them.

Next Stop.. World Domination!

But first, learn to build websites.  Not from scratch of course, that would just be silly.  But WordPress, Concrete 5, maybe alittle Joomla or Droople for fun.  That sounds more like it.  I even have a test subject, poor girl does not know what she is in for (that may be because I am keeping her in the dark). I am not sure if this is evil of me, or pure genius.

And of course this site is in store for some Wacky Crazy Fun Time.

I think this next year is going to be full of learning and improvement.  Websites, online marketing and somewhere in there I cannot forget about my poor neglected photography hobby.  Thankfully I have a glass of wine to keep the panic attack off.

Fun with Email

I have been inidated with spam lately.  Like 150 emails a day.  Apparently the Nigerians have gotten a hold of my email address and are sending me some everything from AARP info to how to do anything and everything the easy way.

But then there are these beauties..

Email #1 Subject – SHORT? Earn $379 a Day Working from Home
And really, if I am working from home, why does my height even matter? What would I be doing that it requires me to be short?  What is the height cutoff?  And really, $379 a day?  Not $380 or even $375, but $379..  Why? And how much would a tall person earn (if they did not hate tall people, of course)?

Email #2 Subject – Lube Coupon
I could not even click that one.  My imagination was far exceeding any coupon offer they could have had.  Anything would have been a disappointment.

I am still waiting on my email that I have an inheritance waiting for me to claim it with a few hundred dollars.

Happy Thanksgiving!

With both a birthday and a food holiday in one week, I am on the mad search for elastic waist pants..  Or a moo moo.  I am also thinking about how to make the next year of my life ROCK even more than this year did.  The ideas are whirling around, the indecision is killing direction, and the possiblities excite me.  I love birthdays, looking back at the previous year for a moment.  To look at all that happened, to ask if it was better than the year before (in any way that matters to you), to determine the direction for the next year.

Thus the blank blog, as the old was horrid and crazed.  I needed a fresh start, a blank slate.

cat, crazy

This is what the blog looked like. If it was a cat. That could eat your face.

This last year has been amazing.  While it was not the direction I thought (though I am always open to a change in the road, so no big deal here) it was amazing.  Last year I spent my birthday on a beautiful Puerto Rican beach, with a sexy man and a beautiful rum drink showing up anytime I asked.  I was able to take 3 stress-free months off from work, spending my summer working on bad-ass projects and with bad-ass people.  And ending the year with 2 weeks in Europe, drinking beer and eating food like I have never drank (ok, that is a lie) or eaten before.

I cannot wait to see what next year will hold.  And fingers crossed zombies are not a part of it.
