Bloggin about Bloggin

 

Its the middle of the night for me.. Well practically.. I should be in bed.. but see I found a new toy and I just had an Apiphany.. If thats even how ya spell it…LOL..

I have been pondering the reasons why I am a delinquent blogger..  and it has finally come to  my attention that among many reasons..  One of the biggest is that I never seem to have private time on the pc.. to think… to write.. to entertain you with my thoughts..   Its so busy here all the time.. Kids screaming. dogs barking.. People talking.. Even trains are a problem now..LOL.. nahh not really but seemed good..    but among the biggest escuses I have..      Not enough quiet time alone.. seems to be the biggest cuprit of escuses…

I dont know if im making much sense…………. Its late.. Im tired..     My bestest bud  tammy… hooked me up with Vimeo…..  So ive been uploading some of my fun videos…… and not a good time to be sharing fun new toys when its time for bed.. Thanks tammy…LOL.. thanks alot..LOL.. well Im only going to upload just one more.. and tommorrow I will try n find some alone time so that I can post again.. That is if i can remember to remember.. to do it..    IT seems the older i get the more forgetful I am..  Laundry or.. lack of coffee may keep my mind from remembering to remember.. Oh dear i just said that..

Happy New Years!!

 OOH I forgot to wish everyone a Happy New years!!

Okay I KNOW its been a long time since my last post..haha.. Oh dear that sounded like a expert from confession.. “Dear internet it has been 4 months since my last post please forgive me.. “LOL” Well I had a fabulous christmas.. Take a look at my flickr You shall see.. !! Much better than i thought for sure.. Was a quiet quant christmas, very laid back..
I got a new toy the best new toy ever!!!!!! A canon Digital Rebel I am like soooo in love.. and now have an addiction to taking Pictures… And Yes I made this Picture look like this on purpose…..

I wanted to try out the white balance or whatever it is.. I have no idea what im doing but its sure fun trying to figure that out.. My kids are getting a bit tired of taking pictures tho….LOL ….

GOOD MORNING

Oh heavens I am not very diligent with this blog thing am I.??

Well I guess I should at least try….LOL….

Im settled I think.. Still have piles of things in the garage.. However it seems I have really reached my maximum space limit.. Im not sure if I want to even bring the rest in.. Who knows maybe i might just go out there and start liquidating.. LOL.. Im such a DOMESTIC GODESS now.. gotta love it..

Here is how my day goes.. (most days anyhow)

Wake up- 6:30am roughtly thereabouts

Rummble out of bed.. or tumble if the need be.. Make coffee.. Stand by coffee maker.. Watch coffee maker.. Begin to wonder if it will ever finish.. FINALLY what seems Like forever.. It is finished!!  Grab my coffee.. quick.. SUGAR it up!! I mean sugar it up.. and wham im ready to take on the day..

Okay , That is the MOST important part of the day.. and nothing else really matters but COFFEE!!!        GOT CREAMER?? LOL

Painting and Grieving.. What a combination

….I cannot begin to explain to you how annoying it can be when you start a project which is supposed to be easy and turns out to be one of the biggest challenges in your life.. LOL

Our new house had the most hideous wallpaper.. So our first goal was to Change it.. Changing it required taking it down.. Well it came down easy enough.. and we were thrilled an mortified to find two more layers of wallpaper beneath.. Which wouldnt have been such a big deal except for the fact that we had to remove that with water and lots and lots of scraping..   A day project which started on sunday .. Took us until tuesday…. 3 coats of wallpaper.. much much spackling , a coat of primer and a coat of paint later and in 3 full days we are finished..   HOORAY… VICTORY is OURS!!!  

I had a plan on my hubbys long weekend to paint the room and make a new dining room table.. However he goes back tommorrow Im begining to rethink the new table idea.. Well not that I want to take it on.. But that we can finish it in a day.. Hmm I wonder why…

Then with all of this.. in mind while painting.. I turned the radio on To hear the 9-11 tribute.. Which is playing all day today on www.urradio2.com .. I heard one of the saddest songs.. Suddenly all of the thoughts about painting and tables.. seemed so small..

The song i heard was about a lil child who lost their dad and was talking about leaving the light on for her daddy.. in case he came home.. how she learned to ride a bike and swing on the swing..

All of which made me cry.. So full of paint.. tears rolling down my face.. I began to think of how much my dad missed in my life dying when I was 12.. Made me think about how much I missed my mom.. and how much she is going to miss with my kids.. I have been trying really hard not to think about it… Seems as much as I hate stuffing things , some things you cannot stuff.. They just begin pouring out…   when you least expect it..

I have felt pretty good.. I havent been real depressed or sad.. But there is this emptiness that I cant describe.. But there are moments when I really notice its there.. Like finishing a painting project.. and wanting to share it with my mom.. when my baby joined brownies and wanting to call her and tell her all about it.. When my oldest… rides her bike to school for the first time.. School pictures and wanting to share them with her.. No one else could be as excited or happy the same way she would be..

So where do you go from there?? How do you move on.. No one can fill that emptiness.. No one can replace those same feelings.. With my mom I was filled up..  Now Im a bit empty.. I feel like a left home without a phone to call home.. I have to be happy about things all on my own and not share them.. I have to learn how to find happiness without hearing my moms voice… That is the biggest challenge..

Its funny how when you lose a loved one after awhile you start to remember what they sounded like in your mind and you cant.. Then you get upset because you cant. Then on the other hand.. You could pull out the old movies and hear it.. but that would be too sad.. What good would it do to sit and ball your eyes out…LOL..

Well… I think I like thinking about painting and making tables.. At least that way I save money on tissue paper.. Now where did I put that needle in thread .. need to stuff this stuff back in..

OOOH the misery

I tell ya I have had more RED .. BLACK.. and whatever color tape you can imagine.. its insane..

Took me over a week to get my kids into school.. because we had to have 3 forms of proof of address..   Then…. took comcastic.. argghhh  over a week to get us our internet..   and then…. we found our lovely VONAGE box inoperable..    so noooo phone.. So then i had to call them and have them send me a new one..    Still waiting for it to come and still no phone service…. ughhh

Today kids went to school.. we manage to get what we needed..   I just dont understand all the hoopla. with this process…..   I mean we still arent getting our mail.. apparently there are several.. streets in this new town with the same name.. arghhh…   So after fixing that problem.. I find out it could take up to two weeks to get our mail… blachhhhh..

To top things off….. no phone… no mail….. So im using my cell phone which happens to be prepaid.. and I cant afford to keep using it.. but i had to because.. we needed to keep on making calls to these places to get things we needed.. LIKE THE PHONE…

So my topper.. I know your wondering where that went.. Im so bent outta shape im off topic..haha..   well..   my credit card.. was put on a freeze apparently all the new charges to my prepaid phone and around the area were suspisious activity..

Oh bother… i know soon it will be over.. the red tape the paper work … but geez what a pain..

And i still have so much to do.. like a renew my license.. before i get into trouble.. Get my daughters into the dentist.. they need that for school.. plus im sure they have cavities.. and i know that my oldest.. needs braces.. her mouth is a mess.. i mean a mess teeth are growing in places they soooo should not be.. gonna be poppin out of her cheeks soon i think…LOL…

Okay i guess im done ranting.. hopefully tommorrow.. i wont be so annoyed.. at least i finally got my credit card back.. and later today maybe just maybe i will get my phone service..   weeeeee.. the things we do to save a buck….

Where Oh Where Did Dani Go…

Dani is here.. somewhere amongst the seeming chaos of life.. LOL.. Its 8 am on a sunday and OMG I am awake..

I bet you are wondering what happened to me did i get lost in all my stuff..haha.. well.. no..  I did finally manage to get through it all .. and when i was finished.. I got a nice letter from our landlord who owns our house stating that she was selling our house..   She was nice and gave us first dibs on the house.. But we dont want that house and really want to wait til the market settles down a bit .. I realy dont want to pay 50,000 more for a house thats not worth fifty thousand more..   So i took all that stuff and packed it all up along with everything else i owned.. and moved to a new city.. First new city in 12 years.. YIKES…

But we decided to give this house 2 years instead of 1 year lease.. Should be enough time for the darn housing market to stabilize.. the New house is actually surprisingly better than the last.. But of course we still have stuff to go throught YET again..  In a lil over a weeks time we did manage to make it pretty close to home .. but still have some painting and organizing to do .. hopefully sometime before xmas we get all this stuff done..

Anyhow enough of the boring..    I am going to try to come here and vent .. seems when ya move out in the country its a bit more calm.. so not sure how much venting.. I dream of baby bunnies now…LOL.. well they are all around.. and soo adorable..

well i guess im off to have my first cup of coffee.. and hmmm do some work …. weee .. im begining to love work.. Dont ask me why.. but hey dont question the good stuff..

Do you multitask?

This is probably not a question to you its probably more of a concern..    Its all the rave out in the internet talk world..   And chances are if you are reading this post you are also doing something else..

As most of you know.. I am an online DJ for WWW.URRADIO.COM … 

Its a great job.. But it does cause me to What I like to call TRIPPLETASK—- which basically means I TRIP….

During an average.. show I  Can have anywhere from 5-40 Ims from various messengers… ICQ, YAHOO, MSN.. going at one time.. talking to Listners and staff…  

Then there is the Roaming PR- public Relations.. where I roam to different gaming sites, chat clients… Pogo, yahoo,atari, world gaming zone, The sims online, The palace, .. I can be in up to 3 of these at a time in addition to All the Ims I have going..

Well then we add the various.. listener that needs help tuning in .. or the .. Fellow DJ that needs a new banner or promo for their show.. 

Top that off with 2 Bored children who want to make cookies..  and what do you have?????

A TRIP… Hence ..    TRIPPLETASKIN…

Suddenly … the brain starts to slow……. Ims get answered slower and slower.. and chat in any and all rooms become non existant..    I am CURRENTLY DISFUNCTING!!…..   SO i try to remember where i was and what the heck i was doing..       I grab a window and realize.. that NO ONE i was with is in the room I was in..  I STAND ALONE…   So whats a girl to do..

CLOSE THE WINDOW….lol…   im pretty sure at this point most people have pretty much givin up on me figuring perhaps i forgot about them..

BUT see at this point what the brain was saying to me is.. IS HELLO!!! YOU CANNOT FIT ANYMORE!!

Some say that .. multitasking is the equvilant of smoking marajuana.. Im not sure about all that ..  But I do know that .. mulitaskin does do wonders for the hand eye coordination..

So if you EVER find yourself.. HAVING A BRAIN FART, BLACK OUT.. OR simple SHUTDOWN…. you may have TRIPPLETASKED… 

Now you wonder..  Is multitasking bad for my brain then????   Well I really dont have the answer to that However I sure hope not or I might not have one in a few more mins..
